A friendly place for friends who drink

Vi is for Vienna lager.



True blue boring lager. (Bit like ***** Modello)



Glad you like the Alt. I'm quite happy with that beer. My first attempt at a recipe.



It's actually an ale but really tastes like a lager. Fermented at near lager temperatures...yada yada yada ...... glad you like it buddy.



Left the beer festival early. keeping my powder dry for tomorrow's award night. Fingers and toes crossed. Saw some big HB hitters there tonight including this year's Ninkasi brewer and a couple of chaps who generally sweep the medal table. Yikes, feeling very unworthy.



More beer to drink tomorrow in any case. Fun night talking to fellow HB beer nerds.

I quite love ***** Modelo. It's in the fridge.

Again, kicking my self for not going.

Just replaced 4 different light bulbs in my house, and ran out of bulbs to replace a few. Why do they all die within a few days or weeks of eachother?

Because you replaced them all at the same time last time.

Was gonna say this.

I wish mine were all on the same schedule. There is no rhyme or reason

Edit: paging @duffman to weigh in on this subject.

Hey. I've been in lighting just as long as him.

It's because the bulbs.

I thought you are a fan man, man?!

Fans are just lighting accessories.

So then why is the lighting package for a fan separate

Really nice saison at Brasserie St James, waiting for the wife's flight to get in.

Lighting and Lighting Accessories, then?

Abita Rye Pale Bourbon Street Ale. Meh? More barrel/bourbon than anything. definitely Meh.

I thought was because of bulb science derp.

Really need 77 and Duffman to come out with a position paper on this.

Consistency is not your strong point. .

Or maybe strength is just an accessory to consistency.

I think this glass Allen sent me has a leak. Better get some Bastard.

6 minute Alt. Holy woodpile!

I quite love ***** Modelo. It's in the fridge.

It was fun. Drank more sours and Brett beers than I have ever in my life. Brett is OK. Still not digging the sour thing but I'm trying to learn.

The saisons tonight were hit and miss. A couple were too clovey/ peppery for my tastes. Others were good. Seems to be all over the place, Saisons. A style worth exploring. Can't wait to try @thecadjockey 's.

Another hb IPA and Archer. Not a bad Friday, at least until the baby wakes up.

That's either a really large room with not a lot of people in it or some serious depth of field action.

Massive room. Fecking ridiculously big.

I'm guessing there were 30+ breweries with booths in the room and you could easily have organized a game of touch football in the middle with room to spare.

The next door room was the same only with homebrew not commercial.

Hundreds of folks there. 1500+ Competition entries and many many more attendees.

Here is the building it's in. Irving Convention Center.

Oat Mild, then bed. Tomorrow's the day. Last minute cramming first thing in the morning, and then throwing myself to the wolves.

Initiate full on panic mode......NOW

 

[Psylocide]

Longest test ever. I passed. Now to sleep and get ready to fight at 10 am. Wish me luck friendlies.

Some commercial swill. Kidding, this is one of the top beers for me. Night cap, see everyone with coffee in the morning.

Good luck buddy

Oh, and it looks like "drink myself stupid" tomorrow night won't fly, as I'm up for an early morning kickabout with the new league side Sunday morning, prior to season starting the following Saturday. Really happy to be getting back on the pitch. Condition should be good enough to make it. See how I do, and if it comes back to me like I expect, I may move up to the competitive division for the next season.

That is, if I don't break my ankle. Came way too close way too many times when I was young. I suppose that'd be a fun bet. Rather than "Guess How High @Psylocide Places" it's "Guess How Many Matches Before Qhrumphf Injures Himself"

I should do that. Let's do that. Same deal.

How many did it take @Wobrien ?

On another note, KBS: wasn't a huge fan of it last year but willing to give it another shot this year. Is it hitting shelves soon?

We're supposed to see bottles around here starting Monday, but we're also 30 minutes from Founders. I thought I read somewhere that April was when most of the distro would hit. This past Monday was the kickoff of tappings.

Huskers lost to Maryland 86-97..97? Surprised they made it that far tho, GBR!

Slowed them down in the 2nd half I see.

 

[joshesmusica]

Up early. Ready for the last ski session of the winter!
Tried the og ipa and the best bitter last night. Both were ok. The white ipa was a slightly more bitter Belgian white. Not much hops aroma. Pretty disappointed. Though now that I know it's just a Belgian white, I can go into expecting that, and then it's good.

Irish Red.

The beer version is do much less interesting than the regular. Unlike

Had a crappy saison earlier. Jakii was right this time.

That tiny glass is pissing me off...

Just saw a bloke walking around with a 5' selfie stick. Thought that was only for asian holiday makers.

Racist - reported.
