Killed some HF growlers at my buddy's house. Now relaxing at home with some Transient Bro-cean Spray and a cigar.

Was afraid it would be something like that. A quick Google search brought up zero results.

Breaking in the new taster...God I love this beer. Great cap to the weekend.

Some not pictured, but we ended up with 44 servings of Kölsch today.

MFW no Sünner Kölsch

I'll be there doing the same thing in exactly one week! Happy to take some recommendations.

Sünner is my personal favorite. That whole area by the river (Rheingarten) is pretty lively with outdoor bars, flea markets, ice cream, etc. Peters Brauhaus is in the same area. Früh am Dom is one of the classics, beautiful building but it's really busy all the time. Mühlen is another great one to visit. Sion is kinda **** and the service sucked but it was the only place where they let us order the stanges 20 at a time (probably to avoid dealing with drunk tourists more than was necessary). Alter Markt is pretty lively at night, fun area just bouncing around from bar to bar meeting weird people. And when you get bored of kolsch there's the Craftbeer Corner Coeln a couple of blocks away.

Cheers to all you fathers!

Latest blend? How is it?

 

[JCastle1]

Proper glassware ftw. Also this is ridiculously good

Forbidden Root is my JAM!

Wife and I went for the first time the other night for this release.

Needless to say it won't be our last. Thinking of going again one night after work this week.

Couple of these earlier while helping the neighbor with some ribs...

Now after dinner coffee...

And drag racing.

Successful fathers day, hope all the other dads had a good one too!

Drinking a Sucks while grilling Tip Sirloin for carne asada, cheers!

It's probably really polarizing but the Fernet beer they make is crazy. Forever ISO that beer.

Thanks! I'm actually going to be meeting up with people who live there, I don't know if they're beer people, though. I do know we'll be having raclette for dinner.

I believe it's only been brewed once . Found this lovely review for it:

Absolutely delicious.

TalkBeer people are the best people.

Everyone in Germany is beer people. Tell them to take you to the mustard museum so you can drink mustard schnapps. And forgot to add Skulpturen Park and Museum Ludwig as non-beer suggestions if you're into modern art.

Already on my list. Need mustard schnapps. Only going to be there for about 30 hours so we'll see what we fit in.
