Done with today's yardwork, time for a Doppelbock.

Quite the operation you have.
Check out the What I did for Beer Today thread. Mr. ClaudiusB is rocking the Lawrence Livermore National Labratory of home breweries. Some of us brew on gas, others on electricty. Claudius brews with a particle accelerator.

His rig is wild.
 
Wife and I stopped at my friend’s brewery, Humdinger Brewing, for a bite to eat and a beer before settling in to watch the baseball game.
This dipa is called Shane’s World. Hopped with Nelson and Idaho 7.

Damn, that's what a DIPA should look like. Gorgeous!
 
Rothaus has one of the more iconic Southern German Pilsners out there, Rothaus Tannen Zäpfle. I’d stack this one up against my other favorites, Ayinger Bavarian Pils, Austria’s (Berkeley here in the US) Trumer and Paulaner Pilsner.

Rothaus (Red House) has been around since 1791 and brews their Tannen Zäpfle (Little Fir Cones) according to the Reinheitsgebot beer purity law of 1516 using Barley Malt, Hops and Water. No rice or corn here.… Take that US beer producers!

Lovely color, lively carbonation, 5.3% ABV and a nice amount of head, Rothaus is located in the “Black Forest” area and is the highest altitude brewery in Germany. It is located about an hour north of Zurich. Boy, there’s a SoCal way of measuring distance! Rothaus is owned by the state-owned holding company of the state of Baden-Württemberg.

A little personal sermonizing here – Beermeister32 is a dyed-in-the-wool US capitalist pig. I do however appreciate a few things of publicly-recognized historical significance and beauty, and one is our historical breweries around the world. They are one of the few solid links with our past, one that we can still experience and appreciate! Breweries are one of the few things with historical connections with our past. I think the German model of upholding this heritage is far better than the rest of the world where equity managers end carving up and shuttering significant breweries that have huge links to our history, our hometowns, and our heritage. When you visit any of these towns, often breweries are the only enterprise and facility that still connects everyone - with family members and others all having enjoyment, and lives working at these loved breweries. There’s not much left after the financial vultures consume and rip apart these companies, tossing all aside, as the wrecked and historic buildings decay away with our history. I like the appreciation that the German public has given to these historic breweries. We need them! What else is left in life? Prost!

Well things got a little outta hand last night, these couple beers turned in to many more it was a day of firewood work, cutting splitting, stacking, finally got my eyes and telescope on the dang comet, so that was nice, then bonfire with friends til way freaking later then I need to be awake, sometime this morning we finally turned in. Not all pictured because well... I guess when you're half in the bag you give less sh**s about taking beer pics. And somehow I pulled off a brewday today, so that's a plus.
