What are you drinking now?

[wepeeler]

HB All Citra Neipa! I was able to source some commercial Citra hops

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Don’t do this. I find this na beer rather sweet overly malty and not at all enjoyable. So I decided to add it to a mix of hop water, not as awful but still not enjoyable. Ugh.

 

[RCope]

HB NEIPA with SuperDelic, Citra, Nectaron, and a touch of CTZ. I guess I have to start liking and brewing NEIPA’s again!

 

[Rish]

HB wheat

 

[grampamark]

HB Bullwinkle Brown while brewing an Amber Ale.

 

[Dgallo]

Cracked open one of my hb’d barrel aged stouts at 14.2%, green waxed which is the coffee version to celebrate the giants a head of the eagles (really hoping this ages well, the game that is)

What brewery? Was it hand selected. I’ve had some hops that were regular brewery available and they were better than what we can get but I had some had selected citra before and it was unbelievably better than any hops I’ve ever been able smell let alone brew with lol

Hand selected. Not sure the guy wants me to say anything though, but as soon as I opened the container he gave me, I was like holy shiiii...

The beer smells amazingly like Julius. Scary how juicy it is.

What a day, woke up to the skylights in my hallway leaking water all over the damn place, brewed 15 gallon of "new west coast ipa" got on the roof where said skylights are located and groomed off all the slush and snow and water, followed by the leaf blower to dry it more, tomorrow I gotta come up with a cold weather patch for that bs. All the while my wife is out of town so I had to get cleaned up and prep dinner before she got home. But brewday was a success and the fermenter is already starting to bubble.

 

[Rish]

The really good stuff.

 

[pshankstar]

A single IPA from Other Half with meatball subs for dinner. Great combo.

 

[cfrazier77]

Homebrew classic Cascade ipa, crystal malt!

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Got over a foot of cute fluffy snow. Not cute are two big trees that decided to come down. All sawing and no shovelling. Late dinner and this awesome Simcoe Chroma from @pshankstar . Oddly don't feel that beat. Morning will tell a different story.

Hb neipa

 

[pshankstar]

This from my friends brewery for SNF. Since the Pats are out of it this year and I live in Bills country I’ll cheer for the Bills in the post season.

That stinks, hope you got it all patched up.

Earlier, while watching some football, HB Bitter.

 

[South Arm Brew]

HB pale ale with homegrown Cascade and CTZ hops.

That’s a beauty! Great lacing! I feel I can taste it!

Combining 2 of my favorite things! Enjoy your day, Sir!

 

[BongoYodeler]

Thanks! I think it turned out pretty good considering it was my first time using homegrown hops, and indeed my first time using whole cone hops of any kind.

Welp, buddy, whom also is a Santa Cruz area transplant, strong armed me for one last beer before the hiatus. Why not have one of @pshankstar goodies! Update, I've lost 10lbs and currently converting the brew pub to a small woodworking shop for the massive remodel before the move. Remodeling = beers will be posted from time to time!

 

[MaxStout]

Our neighbors returned from a family road trip to Texas, brought back a bunch of beer. They gave me about a dozen various beers as thanks for us house-sitting their cat while they were gone.

This one's a nice Tripel. I like it. Glad they gave us 2 bottles.

After spending an hour on the roof with a bucket of roof patch trying to seal up the skylights before tomorrow's rain it's time for a hb pub ale. The roof will get proper repairs in the spring when its warm enough to apply new cover strip. Fingers crossed the crap hold up til then.

 

[Rish]

Earlier today, bottling leftovers of a gose. Seems I got the salt and coriander where I like it. Should be pretty tasty when it's carbed up.

 

[Rish]

Genesee Honey Brown. A little honey, not brown, not much maltiness. Not bad but not what I was expecting from the name.

Well here’s another 9.5% ABV Hazy IPA. This one is Mango Bomb Imperial IPA by Full Circle Brewing Co., Fresno, CA.

I’m not really sure why we need this flood of 9 to 10 ABV IPAs. There must be some sort of competition among brewers to the top, to see who can sell us the highest ABV beers. It is almost an entry into the mixed drink / cocktail range. What’s next? 13-15% ABV IPAs? C’mon….

Personally, I seem to enjoy tasty but lower ABV IPAs, 6%-7% max. This Mango Bomb is not the easiest for me to drink, and I drink a LOT of different beers. I liked the Voodoo Rangers from yesterday better, even the 9.5% ones were fine. This flavor is rougher for me to drink and is a prime candidate for diluting with Coors Light.
