What are you drinking now?

I meant to post this shortly after taking the picture, but while dropping likes before I posted my latest contribution to this thread, I noticed that I had a PM...that wasn't about the contents of my wallet? Interesting...

Some poor, misguided brewer mentioned that he was interested in my Panther Piss project and mentioned that he'd been trying to follow it across many years and, likely, hundreds of threads and could I please offer a concise description of my findings.

The poor bastard.

I filled him in, alright. Wrote him a book, I did. I feel sorry for the poor SOB, nobody deserves to be treated like that.

Anyway, my 80% Bestmaltz pils, 20% Munich lager at 1.050 that I kegged last week. Still not sure what style this is, but it's a good, crushable spring lager.

The Panther Piss looks pretty good, your self-deprecation notwithstanding.
Have you posted it in the HBT recipe section? I'm looking for a summer lawnmower beer to brew.

The plumber hit something at 60ft and 80ft. I had no shot at doing this my$elf. When he pulled back the snake there was no grease, only hair? Anyway back to a fully functioning house. However, while taking grandson to school using wife's jeep all the lights went wild. Ended up being a dead battery. Ergo things start early. Also preparing to take the nerve block out of wife soon. Hope that goes well..

If someone gives me grief for cracking open a cold one a little early, I just say "it's always Ireland somewhere."

I have that sign

Pretty tasty coffee porter. Label says graham cracker sweetness which I don't detect but would make it better if I did.

22oz bomber of a bourbon barrel aged Imperial Stout from one of our locals. Sharing with the mrs. Really good. The bottles are individually numbered, this one says its #250. Doesn’t say out of how many. Bottled 11/21/23. Also my new hb club bottle opener.

French martini in a lovely pewter martini goblet I got as a Christmas gift. May have to look into the beer pint mugs too.

Another dark beer from another local.

Forgot about these. Been in the storage bay of my RV for almost 4 years. Been thru hot and cold weather. Amazingly it still taste amazing. Maybe a testament to New Glarus brewing practices. Might be a different story in the morning...

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

I paid for these so might as well drink them.

It's a good allergy beer if you get the drift.

Drank most of this one before I took the picture. 2SP is Two Stones Pub, another “sort of” local from Aston, PA. Really good wood/bourbon/vanilla character. I’ve really been on a bourbon barrel thing recently.

Some bangers tonight. Pretty Ferocious was lemon lime forward.

 

[Hoochin'Fool]

Made a Bourbon County Brand Stout clone back in January, and I couldn't hold out any longer to give it a taste!
Verdict: very harsh, which is good, cuz now I won't be tempted to try anymore for a couple of months (famous last words).

Getting the bug again..and so is Mason.

Pre-flight beer. Hopefully Customs doesn’t give me ****. Ohhhhhhh Canadaaaaaaa.

My red ale is finally ready to be enjoyed. This is from an old recipe that I let go pro back in 1995. But just for kicks I kicked it up a tad. I added some caramel 60 this time and dry hopped it with a half ounce each of Cascade and Williamettes. Wow what a beer. I'm not sure what category it fits into but this turned out surprisingly delicious. It looks deep red in good light.

Doing a HB pizza, well minus the HB dough.

A local brewery has a main stay Imperial Red IPA. It was a favorite for many years. I could even get a 5gal keg of it for $70 pre COVID. There's a place for them.

Thiolized attempt but tastes like it looks. Wet cardboard

Honey wheat graf from earlier today

Now, HB Amber Ale

Last night, the “sample table” at the homebrew club meeting. It was about 90% mead.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Moving on... better but just ok. Counting down the days!

L H milk stout. Instructions say pour hard to release the nitro and it worked. Got a nice little cascade (not like from a tap) and decent head formation. Tasty beer with smooth coffee notes.
