A friendly place for friends who drink

[blizzard]

My FIL told me 2 things to remember when I married my wife. 1. No take-backs. 2. Just say "yes, dear". It's wise to pick your battles. Plus, you now have banked some points in your favor.

We allow take backs because sometimes you say stupid schit and you weren't meaning to hurt feelings. Highly recommended.

I like trains and I like snowplows.



How much fun would this be to drive.

See, this is why I went to engineering school. The whole snowplow/train thing didn't work out though.

I didn't finish the bottle of Bcbbw last night, so I'm making toffee with the rest. Gonna put a chocolate coating on it made with Sunday morning stout, probably. Drinking beer was so 2015.

Agreed on that one! To clarify, FIL was informing me that I can't give her back...[emoji88]

That snow plow train is awesome! That would be one hell of a sight! Seems to just be coming out of nowhere like a beast from hell! View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1453058689.670701.jpg

It's a freezer cup!

Lazy Sunday.

I feel like this mug is somewhat impractical, but it'll look nice on the bar.

You can't drink all day if you don't start early. Yesterday I did (9:30 for beer class 'graduation'). Today it's just coffee now. Heading to the Avenue for a crawfish boil shortly (even though I can't eat any, must keep SWMBO happy). @val214 it starts at 2pm.

@tobyG Dang. I am out here walking the Cemeteries.

Really liking that ugly as flock crimson IPA's color.

Having a couple of beers myself this bitingly cold January day. I feel your pain. There was actually some frost on the north facing eaves of the house this am. *shudder*

Vienna Lager

 

[Hello]

Not bad

It's decent, nothing out of this world though. Kind of a reflection of my entire brew day for this one.

Just Columbus to bitter to 30 ish, then another 25 or so at 10 mins with mosaic, ~3 oz flameout - 2 citra, 1 mosaic and leftovers from bittering.

Only used 2 oz on the dry hop for this one (1 of each) I should say session IPA though, it's only 6.6%.
Or maybe double pale. Since that's a thing now.

Nice thanks. They should just call it Imperial Pale Ale, or ipa for short.

That is kind of a cool color, even if it doesn't look like an IPA.

Now this on the other hand...

It was supposed to be a hoppy red, but ended up way too dark. It is red, but in color only and deep. I walked into the LHBS without any idea of what I was brewing, and it shows, haha.

I think a bit higher sulfate level would've been nice too.

I got a 1/4 hog and the butcher was all like 'hey... We've got some wide cut bacon, wanna try it out?'

Gave me two lbs and it's just massive.

Yum, bacon. Only a fool would say no to bacon.

I like trains and I like snowplows.

How much fun would this be to drive.

I need one of those. Came out from son's hockey game to a blizzard. Had a Chocolate Cherry Bomb before shoveling and now onto a FBS.

Pretty neighborhood.

My kids love playing in the snow. Just helped daughter make a hill for sledding down the stairs.

It was actually snowing pretty hard for a bit here today. Nothing sticking though. Going to hit the gym and then hit the beer before another dry week leading up to next weekend. Birthday weekend, lots of beer, and brewathon.

 

[Psylocide]

What a match of handegg, eh gents?

Coffee from my moms birth town. I'll never tell her, because the stream of questioning/stories would reach critical mass in less than 5 mins.

Operation cellar halving took a small hit today. Guess I need to make up for it. Starting with this, in a fancy cup.

I was pretty finished already. Reminder, limit yourself to no more than two high abv beers before dinner

Now you tell me. Brew day with a friend yesterday. 20+ gallons of stout in fermenters.

Making dinner. Caramelized onions/mushrooms/sun dried tomatoes in big bad baptist reduction. I don't make meatloaf often, but when I do, I don't **** around.
