View attachment IMG_2439.jpegFrom last night and my last beer from my trip to Toronto Canada.
Lunch beer. This is one of my favorites from Bayern.
Another tasty SAO
HB Best Bitter, just starting to clear.
HB brown
Hmm, that's going to be pretty.
My 1.039 ordinary bitter.
Well I tried to find some Shiner black lager, but the local Beerniks around here beat me to it.
They did leave me a sixer of Shiner ¡Órale!, Mexican Style Lager. Hey, Shiner’s always a safe bet for me, and this one doesn’t disappoint!
¡Órale! has a quick 1-finger head, dissipating immediately, no lacing and 4.5% ABV. My first bottle I tried with lime, the second bottle I drank “au naturale!” I preferred it without the citrus, not needed here.
Really a good lager! Olé!

For my final Texas ride, I corralled up a can of All Cattle, No Hat Imperial IPA from Revolver Brewing, Granbury, TX.
Something about Texas, they have to make everything BIG, and this IPA is no exception.
Clocking in at a tooth-numbing 9% ABV, this Big Bad Texas IPA is excellent, boozy and has your name on it. Git a can and git all fired up!

Grilling salsa veggies and burgers, two of these and I’m a happy man. Used the blowtorch to start the charcoal in the “blustery” windiness.
My hat is off to you for the classic NW combo. Crystal and Nugget makes an amazing beer.
Everyone talks about Cascades as *the* NW hop. But Crystal and Nugget were, at the time, just as important when the NW detonated and exported good beer to the rest of the country. They're both amazing hops and it's a shame that few use them anymore.
I did a Crystal dip hop a few years ago...wow, just wow.
As a homebrewer, if you use unfashionable hops you tend to get much better hops. That's why I'm named Bramling Cross.

From @Section1 a while back. Smooth milk stout, thinner body then I would like but still a tasty beer!

HB hop water.
Out on the deck with a HB Scottish ale. It's just north of 9%, but since I had spent the day doing yard work, screw it, gonna have two.
I may have misled people. By "new" lager, I meant newly brewed. I wrote this recipe in 2004! I don't know if it was classic back then. I don't have much information on how I came up with it. An old Usenet post of mine says, "My idea was to make a brutal lager using all-American grains and hops." I believe I wanted to make a lager, but I didn't want to do what every German brewery had done.
This was my first lager, and I got really lucky. I'm glad you commented, because it made me look at the original recipe, and I see I made a mistake in Beersmith. Somehow, this year, I omitted the ounce of Crystal I was supposed to steep. Next time I'll add it back.
I really love this beer. My favorite lager, homebrewed or factory.
In 2005, I created an ale with Chinook and Crystal, and the aroma was beautiful.
HB wheat ale

Very excited that Otherwise Brewing (gluten free) has begun shipping nationwide! The head brewer, Aaron Gervais, has made a huge impact on myself and the gf community overall, sharing mash regimes, enzyme trials and process tips via his blog and interviews. My brews would be trash without the benefit of all of his knowledge and experience!
First up is the rice lager:

Moab beers
Surly Oktoberfest. They did a good job with this one; it's yellow rather than amber, and malty but not too heavy. It's much closer to a festbier than a Märzen. (IMHO, most American Oktoberfest beers are like drinking malt syrup) It's not quite as good as Hofbräuhaus O'fest, which is one of my all-time favorite beers but I haven't been able to find for a couple of years, but it's at least as good as the other German festbiers that I've tried.
Just finished these 2 brews
Warsteiner Oktoberfest with lunch.
Hefe from the world's oldest brewery. Very good. Looks like they shorted me a few mls!
I still can't get used to seeing that in a can.
At least it's a dignified can 
It's the way of the world. Glass is heavy and bottles are volumetrically inefficient compared to cans.
I can't wait until beer starts showing up in "juice boxes". Europe is already playing around with them for wine - and of course you can get "box wine" in the States...
Cheers!

HB Scottish ale
Getting nippy out. Neat
The can says Latrobe PA. If I’m reading this right, this is now being made in the old Rolling Rock plant in Latrobe after AB bought Rolling Rock and moved production to St Louis, Mo. Says its owned by Pabst.

HB brown ale with a little friend.
Back in Sunny Southern California, here I'm drinking a Pennsylvania beer, go figure... Pouring this delicious Yuengling Lager, I really got excited! Excellent color, foamy frothy pour and some real body, great lacing, an excellent Dark Amber Lager from America’s Oldest Brewery, since 1829, that’s 194 years ago.
I remember drinking Yuenglings during business trips back to Pennsylvania 25 years ago. By then, they were a mere 169 years old, so no beginner’s luck here! I think about the coldest I ever was happened in Central Pennsylvania in early January. After plodding between 200 year-old taverns in the ice and snow, we settled in and warmed up with a bunch of Yuenglings on some wood benches. They were so worn down your fanny sat in a dish!
4.5% ABV, looks like Yuengling is brewed at several locations these days, like many others. I think the Pennsylvania stuff in my memory was the best. Prost!
