Another superb brew from Warsteiner! Digging deep into the Warsteiner sample pack, lookeee here, lookeee here! Warsteiner Pilsener! Another crystal clear Pilsner, I am impressed!

Warsteiner brews a 4.8% Pilsner masterpiece! This brew has everything you would expect in a Pilsner, except they call it “Pilsener!” Big diff! Just the right amount of hoppiness to earn the Pilsner stripes, this delicious beer also has a decent and malty backbone, good but disappearing head, nice lacing. I’m really impressed with the clarity, great job Warsteiner brew crew!

I’m still trying to get past the “Girly Cans.” C’mon, I have a big glass to fill, what is this, shrinkflation? 11.2 ounce? Chasers? What’s next, 10 ounce? Geez, how about 16.9 ounce minimum. Woof.

Great beer! Prost!

A little congested and I can tell my taste buds are off, but day 3 means this thing has to have its carb levels checked. Over carbing would be a disaster!!

Been awhile since I’ve been able to use this glass too, so been looking forward to that! Still sad they closed down, but oh well. They had a great run.

Used the same hazy pale ale recipe I’ve been using a couple times, identified some hops that needed to be used and…this what I ended up with.

I’ve made better, I’ve made worse, and I have definitely had worse in a professional setting. So I’d measure this one as a success. As long as I remember that I made a Pale Ale, not an IPA…even better! (I think I need to make an IPA soon vs another Pale Ale)

My Fantastic Haze clone...

Cheers!

Moose Drool. I brewed a clone of this about a week ago so I need some of the real thing on hand for comparison.

Malty, slightly sweet English ale. Tasty.

Obviously, I’ve failed as a father.

So let’s rewind to some seemingly inconsiderate and tone-deaf comments I made about wimpish and pathetic 11.2 ounce cans being called “Girly Cans”. I was reminded by Beer-Loving Daughter #2 of the political incorrectness of Beermeister32’s comments. In defense, I made it known that it was really just a play on Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “Girlie Men” zinger regarding his political opposition in the California Assembly. Girlie Men – Girly Cans, get it? Best said in a solid Austrian accent! Beer-Loving Daughter #2 met my thin explanation with a pale emotionless face. You don’t get it Dad…!

Well, then to add insult to injury, Beer-Loving Daughter #1 and Beer-Loving Daughter #3 also climbed onto the pile, Beermeister32 on the bottom, naturally, half-drank Maßkrug in hand. I’m not supposed to use terms like that. So I guess I’m out of touch with the current Beer-Loving Generation. Boomer!

This critique of Beermeister32 was made as Beer-Loving Daughter #2 is glugging down her Glühwein at the Vancouver, British Columbia Christmas Market. This after all the solid beer education I’ve given them worth Thousands, I am depressed….. Glühwein? Not some kind of Wintery heavy Ale or Lager of some type? Where did I go wrong? !!!

Oh, today’s brew is a tasty Weihenstephaner Helles. I’ve heaped plenty of accolades on this one already…. Prost!

Ti's the season, my wife says only Christmas mugs now, so here I am using improper glassware, don't judge me. Tomorrow we go to philly for the Germany xmas festival, can't wait for monk's.

Happy Halfwit Christmas Ale, at around 12.75%. I made the mistake of using a normal-sized glass. Time to try it, now that the gas and temperature are all set.

Ooh...ooh...this is nice. Kind of like Blithering Idiot without that flavor of Carnation milk that has been poured on a mattress and left to bake in a hot bedroom. Not all that far off from St. Bernardus Christmas Ale.

Not as sweet as I thought it was. That's a relief.

Served properly, on a water heater next to an air handler.

Glass is way too big for 12+%.

Bottling leftover from black currant wine. Smooth, nice flavor, slightly sweet.

Not the best lighting, but tasty beer.

Arancello bottled today. Not too sweet, great orange flavor and aroma.

Heading out to continue the cleaning of the garage.  Taking a wee nip of barrel proof whiskey to keep me warm.

Hotel beer, it's almost noon and I was just in the car for 3 hours with 2 teenagers... justified.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Freshly ground and brewed, by the spouse today… I won’t complain.

 

[bailey mountain brewer]

Fiddlehead at reading terminal market. Fancy glassware.

 

[RumOnTheDocks]

Blueberry Strudel, a pastry fruit sour by Clef Brewery. This thing comes very close to sipping on a pleasantly sour pastry. The vanilla and cinnamon pairs amazingly well with the blueberries and the sourness rounds off the entire ensemble. All in all a very nice and pleasant beer.

And to hell with this Keto crap! (For a few weeks)
A flight from "somewhere in particular " xmass ale, buckeye porter, dunkel, and barrel aged RIS. Dunkel is a bit disappointing and the RIS is a bit too forward on bourbon (just a hair), but others hit it just right.

I'm on my way to Frankfurt again and just grabbed by chance something out of the fridge in the store at Munich central station. Now and then I really do enjoy one of beers out of the Munich based breweries (I know - complaining on a high level.
Have you ever had a beer while shooting with 292 km/h through the country? ... Just one of the advantages travelling by train (btw: driving 300 on the German Autobahn is possible - but not a good moment to have a beer).

 

[MaxStout]

More than one way to skin a cat.

After my ill-fated attempt at making blueberry hard lemonade, I was left with a few cans of lemonade concentrate and raspberry and blueberry flavorings. Since the raspberry flavoring was opened already I made a gallon of lemonade from 2 cans concentrate and a Tbsp of flavoring. A few drops of red food coloring and it looks, smells and tastes like raspberry lemonade.

When life hands you lemons...

A glass of that on ice with some vodka and I'm good to go!

 

[MaxStout]

MIxed a 2nd one with dark rum. Even better.
