Plus an oatmeal stout because I didn’t order the pumpkin beer. Then a pint of SN’s hazy little thing.
Oh and Voodoo Ranger on the flight to Detroit. Probably more on my flight to Las Vegas.
What are you drinking now?

Out back, last of the warm days--for now.
Little 4mile walk today. Something to hydrate with
Great advice! Thanks, @ThirstyPawsHB . I've been pretty much impulse buying when I see something I haven't had before. Some homework would be the smart thing to do.
Cigar City Citra pale ale. Nice Citra aroma, more subtle taste, a little bitterness on the back. Not bad.
A bloody, cause ya know.

Just finished my third "Crispin Imperial Cider" using bittersweet apples @8%. I pitched yeast Mangrove Jack's M02 into a 4+ gallon batch of apple w/pineapple and honey hard cider at 2pm. SG=1.065. Added about 250g lactose sugar to have a touch of sweetness after the M02 goes dry. Lots of other water chemistry plus tannin additions. Fingers crossed for having a good drink for Halloween.
Hydrometer pour of my latest Bitter, just kegged today.
Victory Fruited Sour Tripel. Nice raspberry flavor, good balance of sweet and sour, 9.5%. I like it!
Hb brown ale, hard to get the color of this one in a pic, but it's much prettier than the image shows.
Probably my favorite hazy from Fieldwork Brewing out of Berkeley. Pulp, a 6.9% pint of deliciousness.
Time for another...
In Phoenix for work. Having a Pizza Port Vibrant Views.
I guess it's fall. What do you say Duck Dude? 
Refreshing after a 5mil walk in 95F heat.

Hb coffee cream ale, gotta kick any pour now..
I had to dig deep into the Beermeister32 stash for this one. My hoard has a lot of different beers, but I’m somewhat reticent about my feeling towards Anchor Steam. Bierhoard, is that a new word? Anyway, Anchor was after all the West Coast's oldest and perhaps most iconic brewer. Fritz Maytag got the whole ball rolling again and did so for a number of years. It really saddens me to see Anchor tank (sorry, sad pun) but let’s hope the Chobani guy gets it up and going in speedy record time!
Today’s tempting brew is some of the final beer from the Potrero Hill brewery location. Long story, my daughter was getting married recently – her favorite was Anchor. My goal was to round up some of the final beer for her enjoyment in and around the happy event.
Happy for me too – I was able to cellar a good amount of the final batch, repleat in the final attire, the “save this beer label” - the last flailing attempt at saving a sinking ship by changing the iconic 1896 label. Guys, what were you thinking? Geez, don’t we learn enough with New Coke and Fat Tire to avoid this type of nonsense? Anyone collecting labels?
California Common – a great style – lagers fermented at ale temps. That’s right all you cheapskates who won’t buy a fermenting fridge and insist on warm fermenting your W34/70 and tell us how great - Anchor’s got ‘ya beat by over 100 years! Steam Beer! In Germany, Dampfbier! We stand on the shoulders of giants!
A delicious lager – malty with a touch of fruity esters from the warm fermentation. Clean finish – classic California Common, part of the past California history, a great beer Dude, Let’s Party! Bring it back, quick!

One of my local HBer friends stopped over a few days ago. Brought a few HB pale ales and saisons. I'm trying one of the latter. Quite nice!

Just another of Life’s many choices!
Picked up a sampler of New Glarus on last month’s second visit to Wisconsin this summer. Grabbed a case of Spotted Cow on the first trip that must have ‘evaporated’. Luckily, when we made our obligatory cheese stop on the way out of town, they also had this sampler. Other than the Spotted Cow, I’d never had any of the other three.
Tonight it’s decision time. Or maybe just try all three…
