What are you drinking now?

[Beermeister32]

Today I’m festing with a couple old pals from Weihenstephaner, the world’s oldest brewery, since 1040. Our Teutonic brethren know how to keep their heritage alive in these breweries, something I wish we could appreciate here in Murica, especially as we watch the West Coast’s oldest brewery Anchor stumble and fall. So sad.

I have to say, I’m continuously impressed with everything that comes out of Weihenstephaner. Probably more than anything of the other 50 or so breweries rolling around my cranium, Weihenstephaner is always good, always to style, and perfection. Their Helles is a great example, malty, hoppiness restrained, has a little of that grape ester going on from the sauergut I’m guessing. Perfect carbonation, decent head, these folks know their beer. I mean BIER! Prost!

A few road blocks at the end but we have a deck. Finishing work in the next couple weeks.

Decent and quaffable for an 8.2%er.

Still holding down the fort, this time with my 2019 Home Brew Flanders Red. Hard to believe I still have these shorties still around, but with all the other good brew passing through my fridge, sometimes you have to force yourself to deplete.

Hey hey, all this heat we’re suffering through makes a great excuse for breaking out the sours!

 

[bailey mountain brewer]

Chilling with doggo.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

HB dandelion mead meh needs a lot of something to bring some balance.

Been hanging on the Oregon coast. Pelican Brewing, Newport Brewing, Rouge Taphouse and original Rogue Brewery. Pelican again, Fort George, Breakside Astoria and of course our favorite bottle shop with good friends in Astoria - Bridge and Tunnel.

Finally home.

HB Kiwi Pale. Last glass … keg blew in next pour …

Caught up on work. Night cap HB NW Pale while finishing up.

What is that board? Looks interesting....

So think the heat got to me. Passed out about 8pm yet woke up at 11:30. I'm hoping a couple of these will help me sleep again and including an earlier one on the evening. Not too concerned. Only have a 1day work week then vacation watching the kiddos while wife is off to Oregon visiting the middle boy. Temps there are something we've haven't seen in 3 months, mid-60s....well good for frickin her!

Brand new gluten free NEIPA on tap:

It's taken a while to put together a gf grist and water profile to achieve a fuller mouthfeel, but this is the best yet!

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

SoCo Homebrew brews. 3% Dark/fruity. PA was a solid Simcoe punch in the face.

 

[MaxStout]

Made up a rum breezer sort of thing with dark rum, Domaine de Canton, and pineapple juice. Very refreshing on a hot day today.

It'll be hot again tomorrow. Might have to revisit this.

HB dunkel-ish thing:

 

[Rish]

Tasty festbier.

 

[pshankstar]

Kids are in the pool and I’m cooking. So I’ll have this and probably another. Then I’ll get in later tonight.

 

[grampamark]

HB Fizzy Yellow Beer. Kegged a couple of days ago and not quite clear. Tastes pretty good on a 98° day, though.

 

[bailey mountain brewer]

This new England pale ale from evergrain.

 

[Rish]

Louisiana brown ale. This bottle was flat. No off aromas or taste just no fizz. ???

 

[duncan.brown]

Drinking a sample of the HB Pilsner currently in the fermenter. Currently at 1.010 and fully carbed, so time to drop the temp towards lagering.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Nice summer night. Dropped by Dirigible Brewing as they were having a fund raiser for NEFF. Spruce tip ale. Not bad

 

[duncan.brown]

Finished the yeast dump on the fermenter. Now enjoying the same recipe but with two weeks of conditioning and three months of lagering. There is hope, murky pilsner!

 

[Deric]

HB Metric Pils …

 

[camonick]

HB Pilsner in frosty glass.
Exhausted tonight. Apparently I contracted West Nile virus within the last week and it’s taking a toll. This is our wheat harvest season which is one of my busiest times at work, so no rest for the weary.

 

[grampamark]

Batching tonight. My wife went to the zoo with our daughter and her boys for a “kids fun day” program. My grandson went to look at a small SUV. He’s thinking something a little more economical than his 18 yo, 250K mile F-150 might be worth considering. HB Amber Ale with some grilled chicken and a salad.

 

[Deric]

HB Cold IPA …

 

[TwistedGray]

A few of these. A other weekend and we'll be done.

You and @ThirstyPawsHB should share notes.

 

[DoctorDuvel]

HB helles or kolsch (fermented with Wyeast CA lager) - a hellosch? A hair darker than designed due to about half Belgian pale ale malt (shop was out of German) but wonderfully bready and light. And then an old, soon-to-be-extinct favorite.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Cold brew break. Tropical af

[Rish]

Tasty lager from America's oldest brewery in celebration of the arrival last night of our youngest grandson. I'll have a brew buddy before I know it!

 

[T Murph]

Again I'm having a pint of Goat Islands Richter Pilsner while they fill a sixtel for me. This is by far the best craft brewed

Preprohibition Pilsner I have ever had by a craft brewery. Picking up a sixtel for a big family pool party on Saturday.
