What are you drinking now?

[Dland]

Ale brewed 9 weeks ago, last batch of 4 on S-04 yeast cake.

10# pils,
5# 2 row
3# rye ,malt
2# flaked corn

It is the same grain bill I brewed today, which will be lagered & was pitched w 34/70.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

5th Element in Leander (very North Austin). IPAs/triples/lagers/Czech/cream ales/black lager/sour. Had quit the chat with the brewer about chemistry. Every one of these was a pleasure to drink. Nothing was harsh. Maybe need more flavor but no complaints.

The Czech was made with all foam as that was a thing in the day or half foam.

Celebration ipa, is it weird this year or just my batch? I'm normally a huge fan but something isn't right? Maybe over carbonated but head retention is too much and kinda chunky.

It’s not typical to find piwo Grodziski brewed locally, but here it is

Tasty AL brewed Judge Roy Bean coffee stout.

Not trying to bag on a great beer. Maybe I poured to aggressively? Still taste good....I think I guess I should be thrilled with this much head

That’s a @wetmk brew. I wasn’t in the BOC trade, but I got a couple from him in a different swap we did.

Sure, not like I have to work tomorrow...

After brewing this years barleywine today.

I think if I could only drink one beer for the rest of my life this would be it.

It looks lke they are not putting a little plastic goat on every bottle anymore.

Love the Zappa reference. From one of my favorite FZ albums, no less.

Having a rum breezer, make mine a double, please!

2 parts dark rum
1 part Domaine de Canton
Top with pineapple juice, shaken with ice. I had no pineapple juice on hand, so OJ works in a pinch

Cask ale festival - something I really wish they did at all where I live

The row of firkins and pins were just the 3 “local” Homebrew clubs. There was a gluten free club from the west coast and many “pros” aside from about a dozen firkins from the host. We have an Indy cask fest coming up and in January there is one that’s a fundraiser. If you can find a host brewery with the space, I’d bet you could talk it up. With fees etc this on was just over $80, and there were 2 levels of VIP for a lot more, I attended for the cost of the beer I brewed.
Oh, just to stay on topic, I’m sipping some hot matcha tea.

Haven't had this in quite a while. I really like it... chocolate, dried fruit, caramel, tasty.

I’m still on my dark beer kick. Maybe the World’s best known dark beer is Guinness Extra Stout, first brewed by Arthur Guinness at the St. James Gate Brewery in Dublin in 1759. Arthur figured he could brew an Ale with malted Barley and also use un-malted Barley to reduce the taxes imposed on Barley malt. Arthur was getting past the Crown taxes just like we were here across the pond… Awesome!

One of my Daughters prefers Stouts. I think it must remind her of the boozy equivalent of Starbucks or something. To pour a proper pub sized 16 oz pint, you need at least two of these pathetic little 11.2 oz bottles. That’s for a pour all the way to the top rim. No short pours on this blog!

A scrumptious and yummy Ale, dark fruit esters, all sorts of flavor hints here. Funny, a lot of people ask us beer lovers if we drink Stouts – they automatically think something with the name “Stout” is some hugely alcoholic, hard to drink brew. Guinness is not however. At 5.6% ABV, restrained hopping, carbonation on the low-medium middle, great head, some lacing, this Guinness Extra Stout is super easy to guzzle, or just sit there and sip if you are a newbie or just beer-curious. Either way, Guinness Extra Stout is always a hit! Cheers!

One of my finest memories is visiting Jonathan Swift's grave and smelling the Guinness being made. Even at 18, I thought it was an especially pleasant (sour artichokes, lol) smell; who knew where I'd be now, .

Anyway, in keeping with the thread, here is a delightful example of a bitter front, mild malt middle with citrus all over the nose and closing the palette.

Guinness is arguably my favorite beer in all its forms…
I know I’ve had both, but is there a difference between “Foreign Extra Stout” & “Extra Stout”?

Edit: I figured it out.
FES is 7.5% and higher hops
ES is 5.6% and moderate hops
Without doing a side by, I don’t remember there being much of a difference.

Had the furnace guy here today to replace our 27 yo furnace BEFORE it goes toes-up in a Minnesota winter. Got a 60k BTU gas furnace, $3600 installed.

Install complete, contractor's gone, time for a HB, Tumbler autumn ale clone.

That sounds incredibly inexpensive to my ears. Had our AC/heat pump units (inside/outside) and duct work modernized for 15k back in 2018. But just the inside/outside units was replaced in 2001 for 9K.

Just got back from all afternoon at the eye doctor. Went to check on lasik, came home with cataracts.
This very tasty Münchner hits the spot!
