Last night I wanted a pint of a DIPA I'd brewed for a recent competition. Decent enough beer, even if it's not my favorite. Judges thought it was "OK", but not good enough to advance to the mini-BOS. So I wanted to 'validate' their critique.

"Too malty"? Hhmm. Maybe a little though the 95.0 IBUs should balance the 8.5% ABV. Better try another pint to verify. Well. Just as I suspected. Nothing wrong with this beer. And to prove it, I think I'll have another.

Yep. That's a damn fine brew. Stupid judges. Screw them! Just one more before bedtime. Ahhhhh. Nice! I'll sleep well tonight.

And I DID sleep quite soundly. Sadly, it's now the morning after, and I wish I was still asleep. 😵
 
Apparently it is that time of the day again... pint o'clock!

But it is also not even 1 pm........ I miss Britain a bit, pub lunch always included one or two pints and no weird looks from your boss sitting next to you, because he is already having his third!
 
Just kicked a keg of APA last night, and now there's room for the Modelo Especial clone that has been lagering for four weeks. It's for a friend who chooses ME as their go-to beer. I've never had one, but they gave me a bottle to compare to.

Haven't even tasted a sample of it anywhere along the process (unusual for me), and I'm dying to see how it turned out. But it's only 0830...
 
Finally I got myself a pint of my last brew..... full of fusels.... headache madness included, what a shame. Note to myself, never ever let A 09 pub rise on it's own at room temperature with an og above 1.04. Dumper batch......... I made myself a steifer Grog to compensate for it. Works pretty well.
