What are you drinking now?

Is that the same as the one I see in the six packs with the black label and hops for a background? I tried that a long time ago and like it a lot. That one you have there looks like it's something special.

 

Just had an american hopped belgian-inspired American red

 

I think I need to go buy a bomber of the 2010 helles from the corner store....

 

My Belma Blonde, it's becoming quite quaffable.

And the real reason I posted:

You, sir (or maam), are my newest hero.

 

Limited, Unfiltered Double Simcoe. Bit more of a hop showcase this way. Got this from a buddy in PA for Xmas along with the glassware. Best part is even though I poured two, only one guy drank 'em.

 

Nice! I'll have to keep an eye out for it. All I've seen around here is the regular Double Simcoe.

 

Think PINE. Like intense artificial pine. That's the aroma. The flavor is super complex, hops, fruit, caramel, toasted bread, bitter citrus fruit and more hops. It's a really deep beer, as it warms, it's just phenomenal. One of the better DIPAs I've had.

 

Mmm.... Firestone

 

Sierra Nevada pale ale. Apparently it's bottle conditioned. I'm thinking about trying to harvest some yeast just for fun. I recently built a stir plate and got an Erlenmeyer flask. Might be fun to test it out

 

Is it OK for me to freak out like a school girl about to meet Justin Beiber now?

 

Ima dude. Glad to see another Shel Silverstein fan on HBT I was starting to think I was alone on that one!! FWIW, your the first person I know thats caught the reference, you kick ass :rockin:


Just finished reviewing the Jose Marti Robustly Hopped American Porter from Cigar City and Im about done with the beer. Now to find another beer to review....

 

Lots.

 

Yea I think many people overlook that. I know I did for a while before I noticed. I think its the same strain as US05 though(someone correct me if Im wrong).... so bottle harvesting might be pointless other than for the sake of doing so.

 

Ummmmm..............


No, really, I kinda did the same thing when I started drinking this 750. Now that I'm nearly done, I'm beginning to reach the plane that BottleBomber's on.

And you sir are correct. [email protected] you for pooping on my parade of telling him it was a waste of time. I'd rather save the DME and pay $3 for a fresh packet.

 

Can't get enough of these New Zealand hops. KRA for the next couple at least.

 

It. Is. On!

 

Night Owl! Hoot hoot

 

Yeah, I know it's cheap/readily available yeast. I'd like to do it just for the experience of doing it.

 

Still haven't been able to bring myself to pay $24 for a 4-pack. Maybe I'll make it a Christmas present to myself. Come to think of it, that's only $6 per 12 oz and I've paid way more than that for DFH 120. Picking it up tomorrow.

 

I'm going to bed after this.

 

Whoa dude, WHAT?! $24 for a 4pk! They were $14-15 here, single bottles on the mix n match were ~$6. Get you some, it's some good $hit, and with the owner of GI stepping down and AB-InBev taking over, BCBS may not be the same in the future. I know, I know, the sky is NOT falling, but still......

 

Crooked tree IPA

Found a nice German bar with a hell of a tap selection....
Arrogant bastard
2 hearted
Left hand milk stout on nitro
Dead guy
And more German beers than you can shake a stick at-----heavan

 

My double black whiskey stout is 1 year (in the bottles, 18 months from pitch day to now) old today. Even better than ever. Only a few bottles of this bad boy left though.



Incidentally my phone attached images upside down. The world's first gravity defying stout.

 

I have had some thick beers before but that takes the cake.

 

Thanks odinsgift!!

 

I need more rye in my life.

 

I don't know what a Scottish Style India Pale Ale is supposed to be, but this comes across as an under-bittered English IPA to me. I actually kind of dig it.

 

Celebration - to start our annual Christmas party.

 

Cottrell Mystic Bridge IPA with dinner. Local brewery just down the road from me.

 

Another one of my faves from Vermont.

 

My first homebrewed ipa, that is transparent. yay!

 

Pics or it doesn't exist.

 

Just poured the last glass of the Hefe I brewed back in July.....more like a Krystal Weizen now!!!

 

Lakefront IPA

 

We don't have central heating and it's a bit cold outside and in the house today. I'm working on a homework assignment for this online course I'm taking and sipping on a hot alcoholic beverage to keep myself warm, instead of the usual beer or mead.

Cayenne-spiced hot cocoa with Bailey's.

 

Outside of a little skunkiness (minimal at least), this is damned good.

 

I'm sure there's something here...

 

Wow! Pabst, Corona! They have it all!!:cross:

 

Brewing and drinking......drinking and brewing. Good evening y'all.

 

Actually in the one cooler that had exclusively craft there was a row of PBR tall boys..
