HB Belgian Dubbel. Around 7%. LOVE that 3787 fermenting a bit warm. So far great ester profile.
What are you drinking now?

Knowing I'm working on the backyard for the next couple weeks. Cut the WCIIPA short. Was planning on keg dry hopping but decided to use the hop oil. Zero diacetyl detected in the 7day fermentation using ALDC. Used 3ml of oil in a 2.5gal keg. Noticable aroma burst. Stronger taste profile, kinda knocks you back. But I like that. Definitely a WCIPA hop oil, more dank. We'll see how that holds over time. Got another 97ml so WCIPAs for a while it is!

I had to come to PCB for a couple of weeks. Hanging out in the RV so I brought a little 2 yr old Blackberry Melomel for something different. Lol I only have pint glasses and one Martini glass, so mead is good in a Martini glass.

SWIMBO's concerns addressed. Wood not exposed to fire, check. Fire not exposed to grandkids, check. No more fire blow outs underneath, check. Swapping out red fire glass for turquoise, check. Couple more bags of fire glass should do it. (I do like the blue better, but don't tell her! )
This deserves a HB Dubbel

This week’s smokestack comes in the form of a gargantuan and hefty West Coast IPA, Double Dales, by Oskar Blues Brewery. Tipping the scales at a massive 9.0% ABV in a Big-Boy 19.2 ounce can, that’s like drinking four regular beers. Bud Light drinkers exit the room, please!
Great tasting, easy drinking, Double Dale’s hides all this booze behind a great defensive line of hops – I could smell them 18” away from my pint glass. I’m really liking these big cans - I always enjoy a beer bigger that the glass I’m chugging from!
Whoa Nellie – hey what is this? The back end of that final remaining 3.2 ounce pour looks cloudy… Is this a “Can Conditioned” beer? Well, I am impressed! Double Dales has a “Pinkie finger” of head, medium to medium-low carbonation and decent lacing. Possibly some of those hop oils at play here. Great orangey color, this IPA is a crowd pleaser. Great thing is, if I want to zone out behind the bleachers for a couple hours, I only need to pack along two cans!

You have good taste!
Brewery is 20min away. Guess I should go there some day...My original completion date of May 1st failed but we're getting there...
HB Tripel. Found three Grolsch bottles in the fridge that I'd forgotten all about. Good thing I bought those pint glasses last week.
Back at the farm. HB Bullwinkle Brown.
Guinness with homemade Shepherds Pie
Hb rye ipa, a little darker then expected and still needs to clear some, great flavor so far, 2 days in the keg so should get better.

Idk where the times gone but my daughter is now 4 months old and I realized I haven’t even really stepped foot in the brewery since November. Realize I still have full kegs too. Gotta start emptying them. Starting with a cherry wheat.
Real Moose Drool with a short pour of my HB version. After a couple of weeks in the keg it’s really hard to tell them apart.

Naples Brewing Co. is a local place in a small podunk town I drive through during the summer months to get to the family property for weekend camping trips with my girls. Not a single intersection light in the town. I like to stop in and get some of their beers to support local. The distillery is in the same town and burnt down shortly after this beer was released. This stout is well done but it has a strong smoky/peaty character to it that I don’t care for. I wonder if they have more bottles left this summer if I can get another one and age it for years to see if it mellows out.
Just a couple after a brutal Monday.
Followed you poking about HBT. Sorry about your day but a good choice to end it!
