What are you drinking now?

[aharri1]

One of the few gose beers I've liked.

 

[TwistedGray]

Yep, it’s a CA beer I got from Tavour. It just reminded me of the Evansville brewery that’s now out of business.

If you want their others, I can collect them for you. They're on the pricier side though.

Any recommendations on breweries and beers in the San Jose area? Got a buddy travelling out there for work.

Style preferences?

The Rare Barrel in Berkeley, Alvarado Street Brewery in Salinas, Elkhorn Brewing Company in Watsonville, and ... other small, obscure places.

Grabbed some boba as we left The City.

He is more the west coast. Not into funk and haze. I told him to look for Henhouse. He like RR IPAs. He does like Sip of Sunshine and Heady here. So centered around DIPAs

Delicious

This variant of KBS has finally hit the shelves her in Western NY so I grabbed a 4-pack. Tossed one in the fridge and the other three in the basement.
Later in the day we came home from a family Christmas party and found a small box on the front step. To my surprise it says it was from Founders Brewing Company. In the box this glass and sticker! Didn’t order it and don’t recall entering any drawings or contests. So it was a nice little surprise!

Are you a cadre member?? I have received some of their release announcements they sometimes send before something pops up on social

HB Strata IPA

Delicious DIPA collaboration

No I am not a cadre member. The only thing I can think of, it has to do with something regarding their news letter or something like that I signed up for.
Since I bought the KBS earlier and already had a bottle chilling, I should put the glass to good use.

HB doppelbock!! 6 months lagering is worth it!

Last night wrapping gifts.

 

[ClaudiusB]

Mystery beer breakfast for today.

 

[Brewbuzzard]

It’s at Delaware Supply Taproom in Albany NY

I didn't realize it was distributed that far, good for them. They make some great beers.

ASB then

My latest Czech pale lager. 4.5%.

 

[davidabcd]

Last for the weekend. Cherries and rum dominate the palate for sure.

Looks like a very specific tool you used to remove that wax coating. What did you use? Thanks.

Clandestina Xa' Madre IPA (no direct translation...sorta like Yo' Mama!, but used as an exclamation when something is really good or surprising)

If you like one dimensional hop bombs, then this aint the beer for you. Definately a hops forward flavor profile, but not just overpowering hops bitterness...you get a lot of other hops characteristics too...there is a lot going on in this beer, yet its still nicely balanced.

Xa' Madre!!!

I miss ww, hard to find my east coast favs out west. However, there is just so much out there that it really doesn't matter that much...whoever it was that said the craft beer bubble would burst probably said that led zeppelin would be a bust too....cheers to all the lead balloons that flew anyways!

That was Keith Moon of The Who who told Jimmy Page his band would go over like a lead balloon.

Digging in to a box that arrived from a trade partner from Massachusetts this morning. This is awesome!

Other Forms of Evil dry-hopped pils from Burial. One of my all time favorite beers. I want to replicate it so bad.

That was honestly just luck it ended up that way. I just used my standard bottle opener.

Fair play though. They did suck as the Yardbirds.

Oh, well. Thanks, anyway. I'm having decent luck with a serrated knife.

Nut Brown with obscure yeast - this small batch was done with cider yeast.
