What are you drinking now?

The beer with by far the coolest name.... Spaten Optimater

 

Thats drunken smart ass to you sir!!

 

Some centennial blonde as I make some venison chili.

 

Just did a side-by-side of my Old Rasputin RIS clone with the real thing. Very pleased. Mine is just a wee bit maltier and slightly less bitter, oh, and also a tiny bit less carbonated. When I say slightly, I mean slightly. These are nearly identical in terms of body, mouthfeel, roastiness, chocolate, coffee. It's all there. I'm pleased. In fact, my wife and son thought mine was better! Sorry to toot my own horn, as my mother used to say, but this is a great beer.

 

On to the Marble DIPA

 

Sierra Nevada - Pale Ale "Can"

 

me too! that's what kept me from joining the Marine Corps in '99.


I'm having coffee and figuring out a malt bill before I go weld the hours away.

 

You are tripping. You might like it less now that you've tried more beers, but I've been drinking Oberon for probably 15 years now and it's still great.

That's funny. Chimay Blue is a beer I really don't like fresh. Cellars like a champ though. I really enjoy it with a couple (or more) years.

 

It could be that I suppose, but when I had it this year it just tasted so thin and watery

 

Im a physics student now. If you think calculus with that is cool. You should see thermodynamics and electromagnetism. Now that is some wicked calculus that explains RIDICULOUS phenomena.

Drinking ****ty keurig coffee at work...

 

Coffee stout... Cold infusion which IMO works best. Nice smooth coffee flavor an no bitterness. Very pleased with the out come.

 

I can only imagine how deep the rabbit hole goes. Last time I took physics was in high school, and retook first year calc in community college (it'd been a few years and I needed a refresher, and that class was a waste, covered less than it did in high school) before I dropped out.

Drinking the citrus Mountain Dew Kickstart. These things are actually pretty tasty. Still in call for work even though I'm back at home, so no beer yet.

 

I just took calc 3 last semester as a refresher for Modern Physics/Quantum Mechanics coming up. I consider myself good at math and it was hard for me to wrap my mind around that stuff.

Looking forward to a nice cold one on the golf course in a few

 

More beer geek, less geek geek.



Summer saison grav sample. Seems quite stable at 1.004. Not sure why, petite saison with this strain is usually closer to 1.000 for me. Time to bottle.

 

Mikkeller Jackie Brown

 

More grav sampling. Black saison, I guess. Was going for a farmhouse black ipa I guess, but lots of bittering and not much hop aroma.

 

Bad Keurig coffee. Found some nasty, old K-Cups so I am doing a marathon of crappy coffee today I guess.

 

Have you learned about fractional derivatives? I never seen it applied but maybe you have. Its used mostly with fluids.

 

on my 4th crappy k cup.

 

My third crappy grav sample. Dubbel with saison yeast inspired by st somewhere I had a while back.

 

Rough day for us today.

 

I was trying to commiserate. All three samples here have been pretty good.

Keurig coffee is as American as having a lawn and just as stupid.

 

Haha I figured, they all sounded pretty tasty. And I agree, very stupid and lazy and poor quality.

 

and it's absolutely delicious. I may be falling in love with Welsh Dark beer.

I'm 99% certain I've never had Welsh beer.



Sour porter here. Although better called a sour black ale at this point as the malt character has gone AWOL.

 

Baltic Porter at the Rock Bottom Brewery. Continuing my tour of the Denver beer scene. Yum.

 

Weve touched on them. But havent done much. Interesting stuff.

 

Yum yum yum

 

Mmmmmmmmmm Bulmers.....I mean Magners

 

And... onto the Saison!

 

Having my chlorine triple. Got 4+ gallons of it I dont want to pour down. There is a good beer hiding behind. power through it man

 

Sharing is caring.

 

Shorts Beard of Zeus. Tasting it again theres something decidedly vegetal in the beginning that Im not crazy about but it fades to big bitterness and stone fruit

 

Odell Red with an Ashton #7. Nice MN spring evening! Scored a twelver of ruthless rye for $12 and am pretty stoked to tear in!

 

Yum..

 

So good I'm going in twice.

 

it feels cold in our corner.


3711 side of my Petite Saison split.

 

Drinking TNGabe's sour porter.





I'm enjoying this. Sour and tart upfront. Nice and dry, fruity and in the end a roasted flavor from the dark grain. I like it Gabe!

Oh and eating my orange chicken. So much better than takeout.

 

It's overcast, and in the low sixties but I dig it!
