Having a glass of HB WCIPA. I might even have a couple more. It turned out ok, not one of my best, but a great Cascade hop profile, with an extra malty finish. Also very happy I used El Dorado hops as a flavour extra. Will brew this one again, without the brown sugar addition, as it darkened...

Anyhow, leave the HB in the fridge, and crack the backup! Tokyo Drift 'Turbocharged IPA' by local Last Best. Hitting the mark at 7.2% and making me feel my HB hazy isn't so hazy at all. Cheers!! :mug: RIP Richard Lewis.

Having a wee test after cold-crashing. This is from a primary! It's been a week since pitch with the mighty Voss, and apparently I only know how to make hazy beers...sigh. Guess the brown sugar was a bad idea. Massive citrus hit in the aroma, and then evolving into melon as it warms. Taste is a...

I'm not much for 'dessert' beers, but this one is actually pretty nice. The Gatekeeper Belgian Chocolate Stout, from local Ol' Beautiful Brewing! Gets much more smoky as it warms, but definite chocolate 'liqueur' taste throughout...almost crisp at the finish. Very nice...and the taproom looks...

Celebrating with a Cosmic Wave DIPA...man. Finally getting back to brewing and started a long-overdue DIPA! One of the easiest brews I've ever had tonight, started the boil at 17:44, pitched the mighty Voss at 21:45, gotta love the easy-cool extract method! Little bit of Munich & Crystal...

The Mighty Sparklepuff...fully unfiltered. Cheers! :thumbsup: 😂:bigmug:

Annex Ale Project - Howling Fantods DIPA, another obscure local from Brewery Row. Pineapple right off the hit, then some papaya as it warms and now into the resinous flavours. Very nice! A well-deserved 8.5% after every fly shop we cater to seemed to realize that their Christmas bookings needed...

Hahaha, thanks @TheDudeLebowski now I'm confused.... 😆 :yes: 🥴 HIC

Forgive my ignorance, is 'GF' another way of typing 'HB' or 'home-brewed' ? I have a feeling it has something to do with Grain? Cheers! :mug:

I see your 14% @TheDudeLebowski , but can only show a 12%. But, did yours have 3/4 of an inch of cocoa nibs left in the glass....nnnnn I think not! Wasn't too bad until it got chewy near the end! 😆 Alesmith Brewing Co. 'Speedway Stout' from San Diego, CA. I knew things were a bit more 'liberal'...

Howe Sound - Ultradestroyer Licorice Stout. Wheew doggie!! :agressive: What a fly fishing season up here in Cowtown. Finally getting a slow-down due to 15" of snow!! :D We had a massive flood through the Mighty Bow Valley in 2013 that decimated the river, and also released Whirling Disease...

Having one of these... .....after fishing here.... Ahhhhh. What a way to turn 51. Cheers everybody!! :rock::mug:

Wanted to try a backlit photo of my Dark Belgian Tripel. Hmmm, I like it! Keg is carbed perfectly, with a nice creamy head that lasts, tiny bubbles for the entire glass and just about enough 'bite' from the fizz. I actually bumped the pressure up last night to 12psi and I like the results. This...

Yes @loganklaas , I hear you. The New Belgium version isn't full of extra amber DME and a full can of Maris Otter! 😜 :bigmug:

Getting some proper bubbles into my Dark Spring Belgian Tripel. Woohoo! I'm bound & determined not to over carb this beer, but I'm impatient. There is a creamy, almost Boddington's - style head, but the crisp 'crackle' of less head/more carb isn't there yet. Hmm. Might drop the gas down a bit...

LOL...either your co-workers all have jet-lag like crazy, or there were many, many beers! haha. Looks like some fun! 😜

Lindeman's Faro Lambic in a fancy glass. It's one I've never had before, and the cross between a Brett aroma vs. the sweet, fruity taste is a little weird! At any rate, I'm almost out of beer, so might have to venture out into the smoke. I live in a part of the city that is at level 11. Sigh. 🤧

New one by local Zero Issue Brewing. So tasty and fresh, and the 7.1% makes staying inside due to air quality statements easier. Boy do we ever need rain. Cheers! :mug:

You have an amazing view. Late Spring in to Summer is great, but I would have already drank and recycled that 'Almighty Julius' can before the first firepit was going. Maybe they put their hearts and souls into it... but....so smarmy. Cheers!
