It's a helles. I really like it!Good way to start the afternoon, well I poured it at noon so it freakin counts as afternoon. Nice easy beer, not typically a yards fan but it ain't bad.

Yep. Two more guys from my HB Club, same as my Humdinger friends. The new brewery, in Grover Beach, will be called Apogee Brewing. They're "soft" open now, with a grand opening scheduled for early March. Great couple of guys, but they have a ways to go to make the leap from garage to a full on brewery. Proof of that is they want me, of all people, to come in and brew a couple of my beers on their system.You have another buddy who opened a brewery?
Love that stuff !My very last Delirium Noel

Always stop by Naked Dove when we’re in Canandaigua! Always love our trips up there.A flight at Naked Dove Brewing Company earlier today.
Looks lovely. Did you fine that ?HB American Lager “Camp Beer”. Lagered for about 3 weeks now and it’s really coming into its own.

It's true @JAReeves, it's not just by brand it's by ratio as well... the game's afoot!Matching Gins and Vermouths is a bit of an arcane art.
Nice work! Can't wait to brew my first hellesHB German Pilsner that I bottled at Christmas time with my new Tapcooler bottle filler. Good carbonation and no signs of oxidation that I can detect. I’d call it a success.

How's the 'cello? We usually macerate with Everclear then dilute down to 100 proof with simple syrup.All of this talk of gin made me want to taste the limoncello we made with Mojave High Desert Gin. Smells like the desert sages, the lemon peel (our lemons) tastes amazingly floral, especially in a G&T! Time to put it in a bottle.View attachment 756851
