What are you drinking now?

[BongoYodeler]

It's official now. Coos Bay, Oregon is our retirement spot. Anyone familiar? Should be 3.5yrs away after GD graduates from HS. Doesn't hurt to take an early look.

Somehow this 10% $2drink seemed appropriate.

Coos Bay? Just checked, it’s a nearly 12 hour drive from here. Anymore 6 hours or so is my max in a car. I figure in 3.5 years my max will be about 2 hours. Sorry, you’ll just have to do it without me.

 

[day_trippr]

Coos Bay is a mere 48 hour drive from here.
So, lemme know when your bar is ready for guests

Cheers!

HME stout tester. A little on the bitter side. Needs more time to carb up.

Maybe we can meet in the middle at Russian River?? Along with @TwistedGray @InspectorJon

Edit: Fort Bragg is closer to the middle, ie North Coast Brewing, but I'll cut you some slack!

Appropriate glassware

HB chocolate porter.
I trashed my shoulder on a fire call vehicle rollover last night, so self medicating with some liquid pain medication tonight.

If you all make the trip, drinks (and hot tub, which will be a given) are on me!

Speaking of useless home items, in 120f RF heat....

That’s why I retired last year, after 45 years in the fire service. At 72 it just takes too damn long for things like that to heal.
If they’re short handed, though, they still let me drive one of the tenders.

I like driving the tender, it’s a lot more relaxed, however I’m usually the engineer on our first engine.
This is my 20th year.

HB amber ale. Took me way too long to make another of these

OK, first things first. As we enter the Autumn/Fall/Oktoberfest drinking season, we all know there will be PLENTY of Märzens, Oktoberfests and Festbiers to slake our thirst. So why the heck am I drinking a Maßkrug of Sierra Nevada, CHICO AMERICA ale then? It’s like climbing that mountain…. Because it’s there!

In all seriousness, this is one of my continuously favorite ales. I’ve tried to clone this thing using every brewing gymnastic move you can muster, but I can’t. I give up. It is just TOO GOOD!

Malty, hoppy, perfectly balanced California Ale with Cascade hops, fantastic head and lacing, bottle conditioning, 5.6 ABV. What more can you want in a beer? !!! This is one of the brews that started the fire within me.

I can remember bowling back in the early 90’s and getting a pitcher of this with pizza. “You guys finish the pizza, this pitcher’s mine!” Unbelievable! I’m hooked! You will be too.

Hb black berry cream ale while canning. Crazy garden this year, 38lbs of Roma toms now sauce.

HB Helles
The wild sunflowers overtook my barn this summer. My wife thinks they’re pretty so I don’t cut them down until fall.

 

[Dgallo]

Triple Eugene’s axe by fiden’s. Citra and Galaxy at 10.0%. They def got a decent lot of Galaxy, back to that passionfruit character

Not like Brett Favre? Looks like it has some floaties.

When in Dallas, TX with your coworker from Ireland, we drink. Some beers, then an old fashion, then a beer and a Manhattan.

An absolutely fantastic Barrel Aged Pastry Stout from Resident Culture Brewing! Thanks Tavour.

 

[RumOnTheDocks]

Enjoying a delicious blood sausage with some eggs and a pint of my first HB beer, a dark mild. Came out a bit drier than expected, and sadly it's not clear, but I'm actually not disappointed with my creation.

P.S. Try to ignore the mess, will get around to cleaning it one of these days.

Yummy. Blood Sausage!!!!!!!!!!

Great tasting dunkel. I really like this.

Back from the Alaska trip, 7863 miles later. Had a great time, aside from that covid thing. Still have a nagging cough, though.

Tried the first bottle of the Grodziskie I brewed last month. At 5.1%, it's more like an Imperial Grodziskie. A little hazy, but not much I can do about that--all that wheat. Tastes good, so don't care.
