What are you drinking now?

[aharri1]

Solid lager

 

[vikyvar]

My homebrewed Czech black lager.
You can find here more.

 

[lumbergh]

Not that great. All I could taste was the peat. No Belgian yeast character

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Very nice Amber from @Hoppy2bmerry. I get some nice nutty notes myself. Thanks for sharing!

While getting the grill fired up

7am to 2am

So there's still the Sunday, noon thing for bars, right?
I always think that law is in place so as to not distract men from going to church on Sunday.

Is that taste about the same as earthy, Columbus?

 

[AkTom]

An old bottle of Lime wine. Still good at 5 1/2 years.

 

[user 263363]

Whiskey sour. I go back and forth between this and an old fashioned for my favorite whiskey cocktails. Unfortunately, the bitters got away from me and went through the foam.

 

[davidabcd]

old fashioned

Favorite and preferred mixed drink here during special occasions.

Peat is such a unique flavor you’ll never forget it when you get to try it. In the Scotch world it can give notes of smoke, bandaid, burning tires, a burning hospital, and a campfire on the beach. This is all depending on what distillery you try. I have a personal goal of making a peated beer, but still working on the recipe.

Yeah, from your post, that's above my paygrade.
All good wine and whiskey is wasted on me. I'm no Frazier Crane.

Bottling day beer, HB Altbier

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Wow. Another whacky day at work. TGIF for me. Shucking Wellfleets and having a Tilted Barn Raffi double outmeal stout outback in the dark.

“Burning Hospital”. That’s a new one. Can’t say I ever heard that one before. I can just imagine someone saying “This tastes like a burning hospital.”

Hb’d Double NEIPA at 8.6%. Utilized a blend of my homegrown Columbus, Cascade, and Cashmere whole cone hops and a bit of Ella on the hotside. It was then fermented on 5 lbs of pineapple purée and Dryhopped with Sabro LUPOMAX and Galaxy

 

[BrewinInPA]

Altbier and Cincinnati Chili 5 way... go Bengals!

Edit: Then straight for the Pepcid... I actually like it 7 way, with sour cream and red pepper chili vinegar

 

[Nick Poggetti]

Clone version of Cellarmaker's Coffee and Cigarette's smoked porter. It's like a 97% clone, dang near spot on.

Train beers

 

[BongoYodeler]

Warm few days here lately with temperatures in the 80s. Seems just right for a Christmas Ale.

Exactly. It is.

Laphroaig has a very distinct smell and taste. Smokey and medicinal. I equate that to a burning hospital lol.

It's like the earthy taste in scotch

That train left the station a few years back. It’s pretty much open season

Your hazies could possibly the beers that make me say I like hazies!

*I have never had tree house or trillium or other half so maybe I’ve just never had a great one anyway?

Haha thanks man. Yeah everyone brews them now and probably only 5-10% nail them

 

[grampamark]

Breckenridge Vanilla Porter. This is a pretty decent Porter.

I’ve been a volunteer firefighter on a rural department for over 40 years. I’ve probably responded to close to 100 wildland fires In that time and, after each one, I’m left with a smoky taste/aroma in the back of my mouth and sinuses. Scotch tastes, to me, like “18 hours at a grass fire”. I am not a Scotch drinker. I don’t think I’ve ever met another wildland firefighter who likes Scotch. I’d be willing to bet @camonick isn’t a big fan of Scotch, either.

Do you get the fluffy head from pouring or from going from on container to the other?

Yea @Dgallo 's are meh

Just kidding. If you can't get trill or tree get your hands on his HB. Top notch hazies.

How'd your homegrown hops turn out flavorwise?

 

[Dgallo]

It’s mainly due to grainbill and brewing process. That said I have a flow control faucet and that helps get a nice slow pour

 

[davidabcd]

Does "haze" mean a lot of the

get a nice slow pour

It's all very attractive, beer-wise.

 

[Dgallo]

They were all first year hops Columbus was the best yielder with just under 2 oz of dried weight. Cascade was just under half of that and the cashmeres yield blew big time lol. Maybe only 0.25 oz.

Columbus was dank and earthy but had some really nice citrus undertones. Cascade was exactly how you’d expect it and was just as good as any cascade I’ve bought. The cashmere was out of this world in aroma when I rubbed the cones. Pure lime zest and lite creamy peach. These smelt far better than cashmere I’ve ever bought. Wish it yielded better.

hoping next year I yield enough from all of them to do 3 different wet hop ales with them

A friend and I plan on trying our hand at hop growing. We've ordered 8 rhizomes, 4 Cascade and 4 Cashmere. Fingers crossed.
