HB Elderflower Ale. Picked the Elderflowers fresh from the tree over the fence from our neighbors. I thought I picked at the wrong time initially, but as it ages the Elderflower taste comes out. Works well with the Challenger, Fuggles and the Chocolate malt. I've made this before, but with...

HB Hibiscus Pale Ale

I understand about 45% of what you said. You have well manicured fingernails.

HB Fortune Cookie Stout. A smart guy at the pub had an idea which sparked this experiment earlier in the year and I ran with it. 6.5 kg Simpsons Finest Pale Ale Maris Otter Malt 1.94 kg Fortune Cookies 0.5 kg Simpsons Malted Oats 350 g Simpsons Chocolate Malt 300 g Simpsons Crystal T50 Malt...

HB Elderflower Ale. Challenger and Fuggles Bitter base. 4.2% ABV.

I meant "used" by, I bought the hamburger, didn't eat the bun, and then saved it to make the beer. I was eating low-carb at the time. I should have been clearer!

I had it in Austin a couple years ago. Could certainly taste a tiny bit of roasted barley in there. Nice pint!

HB McStout, made with a quarter of the grist from used McDonald's hamburger buns. The salt, pepper, and beef grease is a nice touch. Kills the head retention though. 6.2% ABV.

HB Cream Ale

HB Elderflower Ale with freshly picked elderflowers. Went a little heavy on the chocolate malt. 4.2% ABV.

HB Hibiscus Pale Ale.

HB Cream Ale. 5 kg Pilsen Malt and 1 kg flaked maize mashed at 65C. 20 g Northern Brewer for 19 IBU. US-05. Packaged around 20 litres. 5.1% ABV.

I'm drinking HB Barley Wine I bottled in April 2024. Grist was Golden Promise with a bit of Biscuit Malt. Hopped with Vic Secret and Idaho-7 for 80 IBU. 10.2% ABV. A massive amount of chill haze, but overall it's malty bitter love in a pint glass!

I'm drinking a HB beer I made from left overs. It could be a Brown IPA, (dark) Red IPA, Rye IPA, or American Strong Ale. In any event, I like it. The grist is Pilsner, Munich, Red Rye Crystal, and some Spray Malt. It's hopped with Nelson Sauvin to 62 IBU and dry-hopped with Mosaic Cryo...

I'm drinking a HB Wee Heavy I bottled on 22 August 2024. A simple recipe, just Golden Promise and a bit of Roasted Barley. EKG for 26 IBU and US-05. 8.8% ABV. Usually I drink these when it's a bit colder outside, but opened it to check the carbonation of the batch. Tastes like boozy caramel...
