What are you drinking now?

18yr trainee kept asking why I'm at work on my BD. Fine, I know when I'm not wanting...

HB Pizza and EJ getting ready to watch some Olympics.

Festbiers are arriving! Yes, that hallowed time of year will soon be upon us, the BEER SEASON. I can only speak for myself, but I suspect many other beer enthusiasts out there cherish the September-October time each year as much. Did I say October? I meant OKTOBER!!! Yes!!!

Weinstephaner, IMHO the most correct, right-on and perfect brewer in the world has these nifty 500 ml bottles on the shelfs now. Hey, two of them fit my 1L Maßkrug! (not to be confused with that orangy stuff some other brewers sell in the States....) I love it!

Paulaner is the creator of the current “Festbier” and most Bavarian brewers more or less have produced Festbiers similar enough. While not one of the approved Oktoberfest Munich producers, Weihenstephaner nonetheless produces a fine Festbier. This one clocks in at 5.8% ABV, just enough to keep the party going all night without going Bluto. Luckily I can keep pace without filling up, the Beermeister32 internal capacity for several Maßkrugs borders on astonishing. Prost!

HB amber ale w/Zappa hops. Those Neomexicanus hops give it a little earthy/dankness. I can see why some brewers like to use them in IPAs.

The big brown truck stopped by this afternoon and dropped off a really nice care package from @pshankstar. A nice assortment of beers, some HM limoncillo and hard lemonade, home-roasted coffee, and candy to clear my palate between drinks.

Thanks for the awesome goodies!

HB 12% Belgian Cherry Quad

Brandy sour with hm limoncello. 2 parts brandy, 1 part limoncello, 1/2 part lemon juice. Tasty but should have skipped the lemon juice.

@Dgallo definitely get that wild funk, kinda brett-esque I might say...better when warmed up.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

21st century problems. Woke up late so brewing in the heat of the day, forget to get Calcium Chloride so chemistry is off for this IPA, for some reason my mash temp is way low and I'm watching the recording of the USA women VB getting their A$$e$ handed to them but only in the 2nd set. Hope things get better after cracking open this goodness.

That reminds me of my Loan Pint Yellow Rose clones I used to do. Mosaic SMaSH. By chance my work buddy who got me into brewing, yesterday, said it was one of the best I've ever made when we were chatting about about brewing with my 18yr old trainee. Gee, now if I could remember how I did that?

Poor kid, he hears nothing but brewing beer, how our factory might be lucky to be around in 5yrs, how much exempts are $hitholes and early retirement in-between work garbage!

I'm intrigued. Is that a sparkling lemon wine (dry) with raspberry syrup added when you serve it? I've done something like that before with a 8.5% ABV strawberry wine sweetened with a little strawberry syrup.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Maple porter

 

[MaxStout]

Speaking of hard lemonade...
Trying the bottle of 8.7% HM that @pshankstar sent me. Very smooth, just enough sweetness, finishes clean. Delicious!

Care to share your recipe?

Give me a bit and I'll PM you recipe. Ask @camonick and @MaxStout about the end results.
