Needed to get this photo on here before I drink it all up. HB Helles Bock, turned out pretty good.

Shepheard Neames Double Stout inspired Stout (Akshually a Porter if you want to go by the definition of yore).
And brewing a Premium Bitter with Challenger @60 min for bittering and 1g/L of Fuggle for a 20min/80c hopstand.
Pretty basic but often basic is all you need...

How is the flavor with the red X? Interested to understand the characteristics at this ratio, looks great!
It's not as malty as I thought it was going to be. Of you haven't already, read the thread on red x malt. After reading that thread I decided not to use 100% red x as it sounded like it might be a little too sweet.
If I make this again, I would add a little of another malt to give complexity.
If you can find some red x, try it out.
 
Another outstanding Central Alabama Craft Beer. This one is Cahaba Brewing Company's IPA. Another Birmingham offering. As a judge I'd have to score it lower than a typical IPA. Very little spicy aroma and it finishes smooth. It makes a very good APA but comes up a little short of the characteristics of a bold IPA.

Yesterday was our baby girl's first birthday, and I couldn't be more proud.... of my first long-term aged mixed fermentation sour beer that I incidentally just tasted for the first time. It's just about perfect, except that it's hazy for some reason. But that ripe red fruit, the snappy acidity mixing with a complex malt sweetness - that's exactly what I was hoping for.

Congrats... on both counts.

It's taken about a month to mellow out properly and is now tasting great. Just starting to lose the farmyard nose.

Homebrew wheat ale. It started out as a clone of the former Sierra Nevada wheat. I ended up using Voss kveik instead of Chico yeast, dry hopping and forgetting a 1/4 gallon of water. It's more neipa than American wheat, but tasty so far.

In Chicago on a work trip.

I’m Im on a mission to hit every MLB park. Today, it is Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago (White Sox). Not the best ballpark, but definitely the best ballpark beer I’ve ever had. Cheers!

Latest batch of hefeweizen. Didn’t go as planned but it’s still pretty good!
What went wrong?

I’m about to transfer my hefe to my serving keg. Smells glorious - I have high hopes.
 
Three-month-old orange mead. It was still for the first couple of bottles (I made 2 gallons) but the last three have been quite sparkly, so all of them had to go in the fridge to avoid possible bottle bombs. It's sweeter than I intended, but very tasty, and if I do say so myself, absolutely beautiful.
