La Fin du Monde by Unibroue. What a week! Seems like every shop we supply across Canada has sent in their Christmas rod & tackle orders at the same time. Whewph!
This 9% Tripel has been a favourite of mine for over 20yrs. Happy Friday folks! Cheers!
Electric Storm IPA from Smog City in Torrance, CA. West coast and tropical. Very solid and drinkable. They could add this to the regular brews and I wouldn’t complain.
Much like last year around this time…I look at my crowded garage beer fridge and think:
1. What special occasion are you waiting for? Just drink the damn beers already.
2. I wonder how much more weight that middle shelf can actually handle?
UNLIKE last year, I’ve polished off 4 bottles in the past 2 days.
For context, it is loaded with a ton of Firestone Walker beers from 2 years of membership in their club.
Another great HB from @Section1 . I told Kevin I would try this on thanksgiving, but I didn’t feel well and didn’t want to drink it and not be able to enjoy it. I’m glad I waited. It’s got a hint of spices, but they’re not overwhelming and nicely balanced with the dark beer. Well done.
I'm on one of those tears right now where I only drink my own brews. We have been killing it lately, with a half dozen beers in a row that we consider perfect (at least to us, as starting points for further iteration). This is our gingerbread porter, kegged in a 1.75 gallon vessel we brought to "second thanksgiving" tonight. Clean tasting, and way too crushable for its 7% abv. The gingerbread spice is right there, but far enough back that you get more "porter" than "cookie" if that makes sense. I kinda want to add more spice when we package to the 5 gallon keg, but right now, for my personal tastes, it's pretty good. I don't usually make porters, but this beer seems like it's an obvious carrier for all kinds of adjunct flavors.
French Toast style seems a bit odd here. 12oz looks puny! Oh, apparently I've managed to switch hours to night shift. Still got a few nights left though before starting work again. Anyway, back to X3!
