What are you drinking now?

[loganklaas]

HB Chocolate Hazelnut Porter. It’s my birthday today and my wife and I tested positive with Covid last night for the first time. I’m past the 104 fever, chills, body aches, and nasal congestion, so I’m having a pint, dammit! Probably a little Bushmills Irish Whiskey too! Although our weekend get together has been postponed, I may make this weekend a time for me to brew a couple of batches. Cheers!

Boddington while making fermented dill pickle hot sauce, first go at this one and it's good already. We'll see in a week or 2 once all the flavors meld.

Refreshing. The vanilla is just there to round out the kriek acidity and tannins. 2020 straight from the packy so had a little bit of age. Active carb

Sounds so good. Have you used coconut before in a stout? I’m planning a stout after Thanksgiving to split between 2, 3-gallon kegs. Was thinking of using maple syrup & coconut on one half. Can’t decide if those will clash.

Yes, kind of. This is the Left Hand Milk Stout clone found in the Ale recipes section of HBT. The recipe on its own is absolutely delicious, and this is the second time I’ve taken it to the next level with Silver Cloud/ Apex Toasted Coconut flavoring.

Now, I need to stop drinking this. I brewed a keg of it for a December 16th party. If I don’t stop filling my glass there'll be none left to take to it.

HB Double NEIPA with Amarillo, Mosaic and Simcoe. Used Lallemand New England for the first time. Attenuated a little more than expected, but overall very pleased with how it turned out.

Thanks! Unusual birthday, but I still got some beer and whiskey in.

A glass of wine.
Currently making a big batch of sauce for my 5 7-layer Thanksgiving lasagna. My recipe calls for some red wine in the sauce, but not a whole bottle's worth. Can't let it go to waste....

Skipping 18 pages as I am a slacker. Kinda bottle share with friends last weekend.

Brought these four crowlers to HB club tonight. Low turn out tonight so we only opened four of them plus some home brews and some other beers people brought.
Didn’t get to the brown & New England IPAs. The others were very well done!

Another bottle from the Samuel Smith sampler. Organic chocolate stout. Very tasty, and the chocolate is not overpowering. Very balanced.

HB honey malt.

Stopped at fidens after work. Motueka and galaxy! I know they get hand selected but I think galaxy is back to being solid!

Sticking with the San Diego tradition, today’s chug is a delicious and yummy can of Alesmith .394 Pale Ale. Now I know what you are all thinking, this must be a typo, what beer has a starting gravity of 1.394, do they mean 1.0394? A light Ale?

Wrong and wrong again! This 6.0% ABV mouthful of fun pays homage to Tony Gwynn’s 1994 career high batting average of .394!

This really is a fantastic beer, but in my humble opinion, it is a stretch calling this a Pale Ale. The taste to me is more like a mix of 2/3 Stone IPA and 1/3 Coors Light in the glass. That’s a great mix by the way - and this .394 has that by the bucketful. So, I’d call it a solid Medium-high ABV Ale going on IPA. A light IPA. Something like that.

Can says “Golden Pale Ale” with "Bright Citrus and Tropical Fruit Notes”. Crystal clear, orangey color and really decent head and lacing, A+ job. It’s definitely a West Coaster, hunt this one down the next time you’re at your favorite bottle shop. Great beer!

Another keg that keeps on giving…
HB chocolate porter

Red ale - acting like it's not bottle conditioned. Might stick it in a water bath as nowhere here is warm enough this time of year.

 

[pshankstar]

Enjoyed this while hanging out with some friends we haven’t seen in a while.

Lunch beer at a competition.
