Oh man... that's probably what I missed out on. Damn work!
It was great to meet up with @TheDudeLebowski in person tonight at Tree House! I enjoyed King Julius Peach, Eternity, and Doomfire while hanging out together!
Back at the hotel my colleagues, technology partners and I continued the celebration thus the worm town beers.
@ThirstyPawsHB only some of the cans I brought down to your neck of the woods but left with the Pint House crew. We will hopefully meet up soon some day!
Cheers @TheDudeLebowski abd enjoy!

Did you do low enzymatic mashing for 1.5%?
Yes, indeed! If by "low" you mean "non" or "cold," that is. This was a 2.5-gallon batch, where the grist was 6 pounds of huskless Pilsner (Briess) recirculated for an hour at 40 F -- that gave me a 1.005 SG sweet wort. This was followed by a normal mash with 3/4 pound of Munich and 1/4 pound of honey malt. OG was 1.018, before I added 1/2 a pound of inulin to try to increase body.

I'm feeling like this is really getting dialed in, at least for very hop-forward, low-ABV beers. Alcohol has a real sensory impact, and I miss it, but that's hard to avoid. Everything else is there. The beer is much better than commercial NA, but then again, it also has at least triple the alcohol, and can be served fresh and without pasteurization.
 
Bell's No Yeah. Because it was in the refrigerator in the house, and my kegs are all out in the shop in the keg fridge, and I already got my shoes off, and there is a bunch of sucky snow between there and here, and it was a LOOOONG day and the floor is too fricking far away to go all the way down there to tie my shoes anyway - so there. Plus it kinda tastes good tonight - so it must be a Blond ale kinda night. So all good. Out.
 
Like I said before, Weihenstephaner is one of the most reliable brewers on the planet. Their Helles and Pilsner are right on the money and so is this exceptional Original Premium, a delicious golden lager from The World’s Oldest Brewery. Not to be confused with The Worlds Oldest Profession! I guess that came a little before brewing!

OK, OK, my beer writing is a little bit punchy tonight. It’s only because I’m so excited about that brown cardboard box sitting in the background behind tonight’s beer libation. Tomorrow is December 1 – Yes that’s right – Day number ONE of this month’s BEER ADVENT CALENDAR! For those of you out in the beer Boonies, my sincere and heartfelt understanding of your dire predicament. I will hereby describe these delicious examples to you on a nightly basis for you to envision and pretend you are drinking and enjoying throughout the holiday season! Ho, Ho, Ho !!!

Also a call out for my three WELL TRAINED DAUGHTERS who made this event happen for all you beer enthusiasts and degenerates out there alike - no matter what Boonies you are stuck in!

Once again, a perfect beer from Weihenstephaner. It is everything you want in a Golden Lager. Plus it’s in my favorite dark bottle to keep for homebrewing as well. Prost!
