What are you drinking now?

[Hoochin'Fool]

Voodoo Ranger IPA, by New Belgium. Truth be told, I mostly buy this beer because the bottles are nice for bottling my own home-brew!

Nice! There's an art to bottling. Thick bottles, easy label removal and a long bevel to cap properly is a must.

Dove more into the Lemoncello before bed this morning. Ergo, coffee and pain killers at this time.

HB Vienna/Mosaic SMaSH.

First time trying it. It's very good but I think I like Bell's Two Hearted better.

"Limited Addition" 3pk showed up at Total Wine so couldn't resist. I still didn't see 2023 Parabola yet. Soon I hope??

Next.....for Central Texas in Winter, this is a beautiful fuc*ing evening.

I had to drink a few bottles before I really started to appreciate it. It was so worth it. Big fan of two Hearted too.

That’s about all they’ve got going. I use a lot of their bottles too because I get an endless supply from my dad who is a New Belgium fanboy. Their labels come off very easily in just a hot water soak. I have never really been that impressed with their beers. 1554 is about the only one I like. When they were a fledgling company and Fat Tire was basically their only beer, I didn’t mind one when I visited dad. Now when you look them up on Untappd, they list they have produced 602 unique beers… too trendy for me.

Yeah. And about 575 of them have been IPAs.

 

[Dog House Brew]

I had forgotten how good this beer is. Haven’t had one in years

My dad’s go-to is Fat Tire. He’s been drinking it for about 20 years and he even admits that he doesn’t like it as well as he used to and says it really doesn’t taste the same anymore.
OT
Brown ale

HB chocolate milk stout. In the bottle about 4 months. Tasty to start, a little bitter, definitely getting better.

A recently unearthed bottle of one of the first meads I ever made. Can’t find notes because I closed a homebrew shop and moved houses twice since then and probably have been through 3 computers - my best guess is this is from 2003-2004 timeframe and could be 20 years old. I remember this honey, the blue bottles and the pink shrink tops. All place it in that time. It is sweet, flowery, and has held up ridiculously well. I have 2 or 3 more after this.

Truly awesome! Thanks for the cool share. Oldest HB Mead was from 2 friends and it was gasoline fuel. 6yrs old I think.

Another one from the 12 Beers of Christmas 2022. This was a bonus beer and everyone in the house that drinks thinks it’s fantastic.

Sucks that I have no notes for this. I remember this honey because it was really flowery and perfumy. At the time I just thought wildflower as I was totally new to mead. Tasting it now, I’m 99% sure its just clover. But this is the only (gallon) jar of clover honey I ever found that was this aromatic. I color code things, just what I do when I can. Pink shrinks = wildflower, green = clover etc. When I make IPA I use the green hop bottlecaps, American Flag caps for APA, etc to try to help me remember. I didn’t make that many meads and I haven’t bottled them in 750s since my earliest batches. I use beer bottles now. I know this was made during the time I had my store. And I closed the store in June 2004. So it was in the bottle before then.

Faak! my Huskers ... anyway a tall pour of 20%abv Lemoncello will fit the bill. This is Jack who was truly the BEST dog ever. He was so kind to all the grandkids when they were young. It's the owners of Pitbulls that Fukk them up. But cheers to great pups everywhere!

Think this is the first time I've ever posted a beer that isn't my own in this thread!
