Long day of softball for my daughter and a 5:15 wake up call tomorrow for another game. Welcome to travel softball summer.
 
I've had that one, very good beer. Their Helles is also very tasty. I think they are in Santa Cruz.
Correct! And I forgot to use my Santa Cruz glass..😔

@BongoYodeler @camonick This baby is bubbling already! Fermenting at 69...that seems like a good number to use. 😉

HB Blueberry Melomel

HB ESB. Not my best effort, kind of astringent, and I think I know why. I used a false bottom under the bag and that 2" of wort became 10 degrees hotter than the wort inside the bag when I bumped the heat during the mash (propane fired), despite lots of stirring. A tight gap on the mill might have shredded some husks, too. My mash pH was good, at 5.38.

It's drinkable, but I won't serve it to guests.

Well I gained 2 pounds this week, so I need to hit this diet of mine harder. What better way than to sink a couple cans of Athletic Brewing diet beer in my 24 ounce glass!

Run Wild IPA is a West Coast, low calorie, non-alcoholic IPA. Earlier this year, I sampled nearly every West Coast produced IPA, both traditional and hazy. I have no idea how they are pulling this one off, but this is a terrific IPA, fresh, hoppy and drinkable – 68 calories and very hard to tell from a regular low ABV IPA. This one gets the Beermeister32 seal of approval, this is a great beer!

Based out of Milford CT and now with brewing in San Diego, Athletic Brewing believes it operates the World’s largest Non-Alcohol brewery in Connecticut. My guess is this is their San Diego product, the San Diego area is full of IPA talent.

You will like this one, great job!
