What are you drinking now?

[Section1]

Super City Brew Fest tonight. Several homebrew clubs present. Had some, as in many, samples.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

16% HB Mead

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

 

[grampamark]

Big Sky Summer Honey. “Ale brewed with honey and spices” is the only description. Pretty good lawnmower beer.

 

[aharri1]

Randomly bought this at total wine and it's really good!

 

[Dgallo]

Top of the Mornin’ to ya! Happy NFL week one!

 

[HM-2]

On the HB hazy double again...yummy in the sun.

Very happy with how this one is looking and drinking.

Teeling before the party. Unfortunately, my crappy POS Edegestar compressor died during the night. We are oldschooling it by packing the fridge with ice bags. Looks like I'll be buying a new kegerator. Any recommendations that are NOT Edgestar?

Update, the compressor actually DIED overnight!! Edgestar POS.

My fermentation fridge is Edgestar. I got it a few months ago. So far so good.

I got my kegerator from Kegerator dot com. They are not cheap but they are not Edgestar and you can pretty much build what you want. They have different models with different capacities and different upgrades and options. I paid extra for Perlick front sealing taps.

[edit] I just looked and they actually do sell alot of edgestars. Mine says Kegco on it. I got that at least 4 years ago and I haven’t any issues (knock on wood)

 

[Brizzo]

Ofest sample that is getting transferred into its lagering keg while mashing a NE IPA- Columbus citra and galaxy.

 

[Ulisses4677]

Not local I take it?

They have several locations in MA. I go to the one in southern Mass.

I might go back up there on Monday.

I live in Las Vegas but I plan on making a trip to the north east next year. Fidens, bissell brother, tree house, hill farmstead and trillium are some of few destinations I will visit.

Excited to be in Prague (again). Looking for the best svetle pivo. Suggestions welcome!

This 11° svetle by Vinohradsky Pivovar is drinking quite nicely, even if it's not hugely flavourful.

 

[Brizzo]

Homebrew shop/nano breweries fest beer. Getting ready to whirlpool

Sometimes its not the compressor but the compressor relay and those aren’t terribly expensive to replace.

This might be the most basic white girl beer I’ve ever had. It’s actually good, but no more than one at a time.

Yeah I am definitely not about anything pumpkin spice.

Ok enough of the October Fest beers it is still summer. This is a good oneView attachment 780607

I’m with you. I don’t want summer to be over either. But we’re not going to win this one. Oktoberfest is always in September.

True, but we're not drinking what Americans call "Oktoberfests" at the actual Oktoberfest. It's been pale Festbier since the sixties or seventies, I think.

Just to be clear, I actually think it's cool Americans are sort of "reviving" this somewhat historical style. Plus, the beer at Oktoberfest is not actually all that good. I'll take a good Helles over a Festbier any day.

 

[South Arm Brew]

HB Blueberry Gose, a bit over carbonated…

Nope. Fall is the Best time of the year and I look forward to o fest season all year

 

[South Arm Brew]

HB Red Devil x2

 

[blkandrust]

Gordon Strong’s Munich Dunkel!!

 

[user 263363]

This while putting together some strawberry wine to hopefully be done by next Spring/Summer. It’s a lot of head space, but it was too much volume for my Little Big Mouth Bubbler.

That is very true. Ok you talked me into it I will drink more Octoberfest today.

 

[user 263363]

One of the many types of alcohol that tastes better with a shot of bourbon. I’ve got a cider conditioning on some Apple Brandy soaked oak cubes right now. Can’t wait to try that out.

 

[cfrazier77]

A new trail modern west coast ipa while smoke chicken leg quarters.

 

[Brizzo]

NE ipa gravity sample and on to ice water

 

[pshankstar]

@TwistedGray ‘s “Fields of America”. Seems appropriate given the day.

 

[user 263363]

Another basic ass beer after making up a batch of strawberry wine, Orange Blossom Traditional Mead, and hopped Cider. Not gonna lie, it’s nice to make up three different brews in the time it takes to brew one batch of beer.

 

[Rish]

HM cantaloupe cider from a bottle with a fancy label. This has carbed up nicely. Refreshing, pretty tasty.

 

[Bluekat]

Shiner Bock clone. Looking good!

 

[Rish]

Nice porter.

 

[bailey mountain brewer]

Long day, but in my travels we stopped at a friend of my uncles to pick up a bushel of blue beauties, finally having a beer.

And these will be tomorrow's feast.

 

[grampamark]

HB Irish Red. Not much green left in this part of the world.

 

[camonick]

A while ago eating anniversary dinner with my wife.

 

[bwible]

Drank some before I remembered to take a picture

 

[grampamark]

Happy anniversary, Nick!

 

[pshankstar]

[camonick]

HB Pilsner

 

[camonick]

HB raspberry hard lemonade
I’ve been canning pickles and peppers most of the day… I’m finally getting to sit down.
