Memorial day

[enohcs]

Do your memorial day plans include beer or brewing?
I'll be making an American pale, and drinking an American red. Anyone have some blueberry ale they can send my way so I can be truly patriotic with my beer activities?

 

[thern001]

Yeah I'll be bottling my rye ipa. Cant wait.

I just put a 13lb pork shoulder in the smoker. Using a multigrain summer ale, from the local microbrewery, in the marinade pan. Couldn't let the meat hog all the brew so I totally poured myself a glass at 7am.
Happy memorial day.
Now that the meat is under way, time to bring the strike water up to temp.

I'm smoking up a pork tenderlion today too. I like your idea about the marinade. I may borrow it.

I will be brewing a wee heavy today. This will be a first for me.

I will be throwing some Moink balls on the smoker as well as brewing a Memorial Day SMaSH Pale Ale.

Brewing an Alt Bier today for my birthday. Smoked some pork tenderloins yesterday.

Why does it seem as though most brewers also smoke meat?

My bacon covered pork shoulder over hickory.

I think my brew partner and I will be making a Belgian Blonde today. Also need to get the herb garden in (vegetables were in a couple of weeks ago, but the rains and storms here have kept us from getting the herbs in the ground).

I smoked my pork shoulder yesterday and it turned out great. The plan was to have something to eat while brewing today doing and imperial IPA.

Sounds amazing.
No better way to honor the people who have served than by consuming excessive amounts of meat and beer.

Does the whisky barrel oak come through different than regular oak? It sounds fantastic.
Imagine the life of that whisky barrel. Spent a few years making whisky, maybe follow that up with aging a porter, then finally smoking a pork shoulder. If only we could all be so lucky.

OK Americans...pop quiz...who is the only living medal of honor recipient since the Vietnam War....

This Memorial Day weekend has been my biggest brewing weekend yet. On Saturday I bottled a Northern Brewer Caribou Slobber. I then worked on a new chiller. On Sunday I brewed a local HBS clone of Fuller London Porter, plus I smoked a 10 lb. pork picnic roast. Today I brewed NB's Bourbon Barrel Porter. And I drank plenty of beer all throughout.

Answer to above question - US Staff Sergeant Salvatore Giuanta. I knew the basic name and story from the news stories but had to look up the exact spelling. For those interested, the official DoD narrative is here. SSgt Giunta's story in his own words is [ame="http://vimeo.com/16662374"]here[/ame]. I retired in February after 32 years total service - 6 active AF, 1 Army Guard, 25 Air Guard with 23 as full-time.

You win the right to pat yourself on the back for being 1% of the American population that knows the answer to that question.

Happy Memorial Day!

I've never used regular oak, but I can tell you that the smells coming out of the smoker are amazing with the whiskey barrel oak!

Not sure that any of it ends up in the final meat flavor, but it did taste amazing

Brewed a big brown ale yesterday. Might bottle the wheat today. Then again, maybe I'll just sit back and relax and worry about bottling some other time...
