What are you drinking now?

Lunch at PHX airport. Juicy Jack hazy.

Hotel beer in a fancy glass while visiting granddaughter in Tifton, GA.

The big stout has made major progress this week, the rough edges are significantly rounded off and the fat, rich roasted and chocolatey stuff is coming front and center. This'll be my undoing. I seldom brew big and seldom brew stouts, it's like having ʻOumuamua in my fridge--except it gets you plastered if you examine it for too long. Good grief!

The NW-style IPA is starting to hiss. It was a nice keg and I'll miss it, but I'm looking forward to freeing up the keg for the Vienna in my lager fermenter.

Second batch of that Munich lager thing. I got lucky with my current sack of Barke, you just add water and good beer happens. I was lucky to cross ways with this sack, I'll miss it when it's gone. It really is special.

HB Nut Brown Ale.

 

[leedspointbrew]

A really delicious Mexican Coffee stout from Cape May Brewing. If I've posted about this before and it's redundant, that's OK; it's really deserving.

Talk about timing! I see your Stone Imperial stout, and raise you a Bayou major!

One I've never had, but was eyeing at the local Mom+Pop ( super high-end! ) liquor store.....

The Bruery "Baked on the Bayou". A wine bottle worth of Bourbon - barrelled , cocoa - nibbed, caramel & smoky coffee stout that is soooo much trouble. Wow. An ultimate warm drink after wading in the freezing Bow River. This is amazing. If (when) I finish this, I might see La Loup-Garou!! Cheers folks!!

Dos Equis draft while waiting on the enchiladas suizas.
No pic due to crappy hotel Wi-Fi not uploading but y'all have all seen a 24 oz mug of Mexican beer!

but y'all have all seen a 24 oz mug of Mexican beer!

Doesn't mean we're not eager to see another, though!

Having a few of my west coast ipa at 8.9% while watching “Churchill at War”. I’ve always been a military history buff but this is the first time I’ve really looked into the British perspective of WW2. Man had nerves of steel and should be given more credit in American textbooks for the part he played

Now that's a collab. TNFView attachment 863868

I’m going to have to try that. I live about two blocks from North Park Beer co.

I’ve been buying a case of this from Costco about every other week. Tasty, lighter beer. And it keeps me from drinking my HB before it peaks.

 

[HM-2]

I've got a stinking cold- perfect timing as my wife is out of town and I've got the kids for most of the weekend.

So right now, a Hot Toddy minus the whisk(e)y, though I expect that once the sun is sufficiently past the yard arm and the girls are over with their grandparents for the afternoon I will migrate onto my "illness drink of choice", a hot variation on the venerable Zombie:

50ml Planteray OFTD rum
30ml pineapple juice
15ml lime juice
15ml homemade fassionola
10ml cinnamon syrup
8 dashes angostura bitters
3 dashes absinthe
3 dashes grapefruit bitters
Top with boiled water

Usually finished with a hollowed out lime filled with demerera sugar and overproof rum and set on fire.

View attachment 863880HB pils. This one has some Liberty hops in it. There’s some more lemon than I would expect from German Hallertaller Mittelfrueh. Definitely not my best and I need to do another batch soon.

Looks great. I personally only use Saaz in my pils. I love the earth and spice it provides

 

[pshankstar]

From last night. Thanks @TheDudeLebowski for the TH can. It was a nice beer with some nice fruity notes and a drying finish, which I really enjoy.

 

[Dgallo]

Having a breakfast beer lol you can tell it’s a Daddy Daycare day when this happens

West coast ipa 8.93% ABV 81 IBUS featuring Mosaic, Strata, & Columbus

[RumOnTheDocks]

A tasty IPA after a day of cleaning the apartment.

 

[RevKev]

Remind me that I bought ingredients to make Remmys quad 5 years ago and never made it.

Smoking 3 racks and a 15lb turkey. Maybe too much for two people. Damned costco.

 

[RevKev]

Last pour of the big bottle, got the turkey and ribs on. About an hour before unwrapped and saucing the ribs

 

[MaxStout]

Back home from PHX trip. It's a balmy 55 here in Mpls, so stepped out back for a HB blonde ale.

 

[Rish]

My first kristallweissbier. It is indeed crystal clear. A little lemon and banana, a hint of clove, good carbonation. Really nice beer.

 

[BongoYodeler]

Small pour of HB, Dark Matter imperial stout.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

HB English barley wine.

 

[BongoYodeler]

Had to have another one.

Well I dropped a few pounds so it's back to beer fun! Today I decided to flush out the available Japanese beer scene, at least those available to us thirsty lager drinkers in SoCal. I'll be reporting back to you this week..... So much of our choices are really based on distribution – he who has the distributors sells the beer!

I’ve had Kirin Ichiban here before, and their mysterious “First Press 100% Malt”. Sounds drinkable to me. So what the heck do they do with the “second pressing!” What is this olive oil?

I like the 100% malt though. So much of the BMC-type beers out there have corn, rice, corn syrup and other sugary stuff in wort to boost the booze and lower the price (and flavor!) 100% malt is more along the lines we might see with a Reinheitsgebot compliant German Lager.

Kirin Ichiban is a 5-percenter, delicious and clean. Just the right amount of alcohol to slake the thirst of your typical Salaryman! After work I’m sure there are tanker-trucks of this drank all throughout Japan. Thanks to that distribution, it's here in California and elsewhere too. Heck you can even get this after gassing up your car with your nacho chips and gas-station sushi! Kanpai! 乾杯
