Latest Tavour shipment.

I think it’s the last though. Their local courier in Ohio is terrible. Package hadn’t showed up for a week after they received it, so I called yesterday and left a voicemail. No return call so I tried to call again today. They claimed they hadn’t received it yet and it usually took 2-3 weeks for Tavour shipments to arrive after Tavour sent them. Guy said to call back in the afternoon. Not two hours later a guy shows up with the box that the warehouse guy claimed hadn’t arrived to them yet. I love the variety of beer but it’s not worth the stress of never knowing when it will arrive and wondering if they’ll lose a box with over $100 of beer in it (or closer to $200 if I’m not talking to my wife).

Are the packages not insured? If so, why worry?

HB Cali Common.

Is it mostly Crystal 40l that's giving that color or?

FOTD FTW

Can't agree more, can't have a beer with Tavour.

Yeah. The recipe is 90% 2-row and 10% Crystal 40. I came across a commercial Cali Common recently, made here in MT (they call it “Montana Common”. Duh). It’s like they cloned my HB recipe. What are the odds?

Capped last night with a HB Strata IPA

forgot how good of a beer this is.

fantastic Bourbon County Wheatwine aged in Larceny bourbon barrels.
Big Carmel flavor and really smooth for 15%

 

[max384]

And up next another Latvian beer I didn't get the name of. It tastes like a dunkelweise though.

 

[max384]

And now another Latvian pilsner, Mezpils Alus

Because of the large mashes required for RIS's and barleywines, I made a mash tun from a 65 quart cooler. I call it the MonsterMash. So far, I've only filled it up halfway!

Our mystery beer breakfast

 

[jswillbrewforbeer]

Belgian Tripel, just kegged and quicke-carbed. Drinking very well already. Pretty heavy on the ethanol/banana right now and slightly sweeter than I'd like but we'll see how it ages...

 

[jswillbrewforbeer]

HB Hard lemonade. Pretty much done. Now a place to clean kegs and won't muddy up.View attachment 656769

Wouldn't happen to have a hard strawberry lemonade recipe handy, would you? My wife loves strawberry Mike's Hard.

 

[jswillbrewforbeer]

That's what we get for $15 shipping. As long as you get eventually get it, Right?Rebels look done for....what do you guys think?View attachment 656835

Nothing like watching Empire Strikes Back and getting lit with imperial IPA.

Fizzy yellow liquid and getting ready to bottle an oatmeal stout on oak ...

Disregard the dirty glass. A good clear bitterboi for lunch.

Nice to see someone using the same high quality glassware that I do.

 

[davidabcd]

Having a HB Belgian right now. May or may not rake the last bit of leaves. Temperature and wind are good.

 

[GnenieGone]

Here's the tried and true recipe I use. Just substitute fruits w/strawberry. I'd still add the Brewers Best exact tho. Gives it a nice flavor pop.

This is 11.7 gallons and has 28lbs of grain with a qt/lb thickness. Could take a little more water but then would have to boil longer...2 he already

I want to be there.

 

[davidabcd]

Probably not advisable but I'm going for round two of my 13.6% ABV Tripel, Final Absolution clone. I think it could be legitimately labeled "Eighteen Feet Under" (because it's a Tripel) or "Driver's Bane."
I did end up raking the leaves. They were actually a piece of cake since they weren't piled feet deep on the lawn.

You're killin' the Detroit metro area on snowfall. It's 40°F and 5 mph winds in the city. I did have to push 4" off the driveway a few weeks ago.

JK Spon is pretty good. It's $20/500ml bottle at the brewery.

It’s winter. Snow will just continue to pile up now

Well, a couple hours ago tastes better when it's free.

I think the leftover cupcakes will go nicely with this one or another beer tonight.

One for you, one for the kid?

 

[grampamark]

At the city house. HB is in short supply (one 6-pack of HB CC left) so drinking what remains in the beer fridge. Dragon’s Breath is one of my favorites.
