My Father's Day gift to myself, a 12pack of this. Love this beer, especially when I can get it for $13/12

 

[Spraentart]

Unita Dubhe after two more of those Eastside IPAs. I'm quite happy right now.

 

[NIZZLE]

Guess I'm starting to see where you all are talking about DFH. I'm having a rising bines and I'm extremely disappointed. I had one when they were fresh and it was decent but I had two other bottles sitting in the fridge and decided to have one tonight and there is a weird smell and taste to it not sure if my pallet is still off from yesterday or of it really is just that bad

 

[MrNic]

Another hop notch. I was gonna grill some steaks, but the weather's turning to sh*t, so I'll have to settle for broiled.

 

[rockbasementbeer]

SN Summerfest. Not my favorite but beats BMC i guess

If it was me I would save the steak for tomorrow but I would never settle for a broiled steak MO though cheers

Already had oil and seasoning on them. Oh well.

 

[Spraentart]

Tallgrass Buffalo Sweat with a dash of Crown Maple. Incredible!

 

[Qhrumphf]

Not sure where to go first. Excluding the Saranac root beer (that's for the wife). And the Petrus Aged Pale (that's for the cellar). And considering I'm not a major hop head I don't know why 8 bottles/cans of Imperial IPA seemed like a good idea.

 

[Channel66]

My BIL came over to get some special yeast, he brought a 6 of his light American lager. Not bad for what it is.

I do that from time to time too. I'm more of a Belgian guy, but every now and then I go nuts on hoppy beer

 

[Billy-Klubb]

Mad River's Serious Madness Black Ale. thanks NoKato!

Have you had Hoptimum before? It's bitter, even for an IIPA.

 

[Channel66]

Now onto a sour saison. First bottle from the batch. A year and a half in the making. Mmmmmmm tart and funky.

Hey gabe, how much strawberry and rhubarb did you add to that one you made? And when did you add it?

 

[NIZZLE]

Already had oil and seasoning on them. Oh well.

Well I guess your committed then.

 

[MrNic]

Well I guess your committed then.

Yeah. It still ended up tasting good. Just not as good, haha.

 

[Qhrumphf]

I have not. People seem to enjoy it, so figured I'd try it. I think I'm going with the Bluebird Bitter first.

Still waiting on stuff to chill a bit, so in the mean time gravity sample of my Petite Saison. May or may not drop another point or two (7 days into primary), but as of right now, sitting pretty at 1.003 and 3.9% ABV.

I did a berliner with strawberry rhubarb, 2lbs berries and 1lb rhubarb per gallon in secondary. I've got 10 gallons of base ready now, I just need to make room to rack it over and get some fruit. Haven't played with fruit in a saison yet.

Yeah. It still ended up tasting good. Just not as good, haha.

Laugh or call me sacreligious, but try a skillet or a flat top griddle sometime.

 

[FarmerTed]

I brewed the Landlord clone about three and a half weeks ago, bottle it last wednesday, and drank my 8 oz tester bottle tonite. It was carbed pretty well, and pretty awesome. I hope it's still this good in 10 days, when it goes into the cold.

Oh okay, I've fruited saison before was just curious about your ratio, I've got one of my first few farmhouse open ferment saisons that is ready for fruit, thought the bug profile would taste great with straw-rhub. Thanks!

And I cook steak in a cast iron skillet all the time. I can second that.

I have a grill pan, but it makes our tiny apartment really smokey and we have an infant.

 

[Wingnutt73]

Melonhead is gross. Hate to ruin that for you.

Yeah it was more of a "girl drink" but all in all not to bad. Just had these also

Where are you staying?

 

[Qhrumphf]

Not sure what to make of this. Hoppy Scottish Ale is about right (in that it has a little bit of hop character). In any event, I dig it.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

my Rose Hip Saison. I'm gonna have to do another Petite Saison Split to get that profile. I also need to learn how to freeze yeast.

 

[Stebu]

I am in NC for the next few days for work. I tried Bell's Two Hearted Ale at the Flying Saucer in Charlotte today and was pleasantly surprised. Very easy drinking and tasty. It was definitely a nice change from the hoppier and more bitter IPA's that are typically available in San Diego.

 

[andvari7]

In spite of the Rogue-bashing thread to which I just responded, I'm finishing another XS Dead Guy.

It's good beer. Not blow-my-mind GREAT beer, but good beer. It does, however, have the best bottles (ceramic flip-top) known to mortal man. Therefore, I have to buy them wherever I find them.

by the end of the night you'll be putting on old records & moon stompin'. we used to call that Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. hahahahahahahaa!!

There is good info in the yeast section, there may even be a sticky. Yeast slanting has saved me a fortune.

 

[blkandrust]

My 8.8% IIPA. Was only supposed to be 7.5%. Wound up with 12 gallons instead of the intended 10 gallons. I love these kind of mistakes. Hopefully they will continue.

I just need to get off my giant shaved balls & do it. I've been talking about it for years & read a little about it. I remember something about glycerine.

I ain't planning on getting THAT drunk tonight.... haha.

If you have time go check out the allagash brewery in Portland. Also there is a beer bar in the old port called novare res. Worth a stop.

I fully endorse what this man says. A cast iron is a great way to cook a steak.

Agreed. If I can't grill it, it's going on my cast iron griddle!
