Full Throttle. Happy Bday @Billy-Klubb , you've certainly aged like a fine Bud Ice.

Happy belated to you and happy current to Mr Klubb.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Happy BDay BK. Celebrate by berry punching a dirty hippie.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Also energy drink. Nos ZERO. Because caffeine and other stimulants.

 

[wobrien]

Lol I had no idea what that was so I googled it. Lol

I find this post offensive. Reported.

The best beverage of my childhood lol. It still has a cult following

Agreed

...a brewery actually made a limited run beer with a similar appearance, I just can't remember who they were

Tired Hands of course

Happy belated birthday to psylocide and BK. Congratulations on not dying yet again.

So I just saw that the Foodery is going to open a location in Phoenixville. Mixed feelings - will probably help push the craft market here, but man I really didn't want to buy that super-economy size tub of lube that's needed to pay their prices...

@Billy-Klubb Congratulations on your birthday. I knew you could do it.

It could go either way...it could drive up the prices at your normal shops or those shops can keep their prices the same and keep the customers.

Sweet, glad you liked it. Was considering entering that one in an upcoming comp. thoughts?

If it doesnt score as the top three sours in that comp, i would be very surprised. Id say it was a commercial quality flanders.

 

[finsfan]

on the cawfeh like a martha floccin' pterodactyl.

Happy birthday ya wanka!

 

[pointcity-homebrew]

Happy birthday Billy K. May your day be filled with good beer and berry punching.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Happy birthday Billy-Klubb!

Coffee. Tons of work to do, no motivation to do any of it. You know it's gonna be a crappy day when everyone wakes up late.

 

[DisturbdChemist]

Happy birthday Klub!

Coffee on hump day. Almost the weekend and time to brew.

Welp, that settles it then

Also wondering if I should submit anything to NHC this year just for poops and laughs, since this is my first year as an AHA member...

I would certainly give that Flanders a shot. NHC is quite the step up from a regular comp so dont get discouraged if it doesnt score like you think it should. Its still a fantastic beer!

 

[wyobrewer1]

BK happy birthday man!

The upcoming local one is a pretty big one (Homebrew Alley in NYC). The beer that won the sour category there last year (a gueuze, but the same guys swept the category with 2 fruited lambics as well) also went on to win the sour category at the final round of NHC.

Happy birthday BK!

Remember, old punks never die, we just stand in the back.

Do it! If you're not in you can't win etc.

Was that the one that one the overall best in show at NHC. Two guys sat next to a barrel were in the Zymurgy winners' issue. I think it was a Geuze. But that's a guezz.


Also

Happy bithday Klubb.

Yep, had to go back and look it up, but that's the same one. Must have been a hell of a beer.

Sounds like years of work. Was it the result of a solera?

You think they might have smiled in the picture. I'd be grinning from ear to ear, beer in hand, donning a festive hat perhaps.

Congrats to them. What an achievement. Congrats to you too having your beers faring well in comps with such powerhouses of brewing.

 

[TheCADJockey]

Getting more coffee and getting stabby.

 

[drainbamage]

Happy martha floccin', berry-punching birthday BK!

 

[TobyG]

Happy Beerthday @Billy-Klubb having a coughey in your honor. Beer to come later.

Yes, pretty sure it was a 1 vessel solera, pulling out and holding prior years in carboys for blending.

Congrats to you too having your beers faring well in comps with such powerhouses of brewing.

Well, nobody said anything about that. I only entered one beer in that one last year and it wasn't a sour.

Fingers crossed for this year though!

 

[Psylocide]

Damn BK anyway.

I had my brew for Saturday all set up. IIPA. Boom, done... easy.

"Oh, here Psy... here's an awesome smoked beer."

Now I'm looking at smoked porters and the like, thinking that brewing a smoked beer while smoking meats sounds like a cool idea.

Back to dinking with water, recipe, etc.

Whelp gents, this is happening. 2016 will bring about some big changes for me. Also have an interview for the career change tomorrow. Fingers crossed it all works out well and is worth it! :rockin:

Need taste-testers?

That BA RIS is calling my name. Wind is out of the south today, I can almost smell it.

I missed "the career change". What will the new career be? Is it beer related, hence the Siebel enrollment?
