What are you drinking now?

Call Sign Anchovy. A double hazy (8.5 abv) at Hess. Dry hopped with a bunch of Anchovy.

Wine while making dinner.

On to my "Not So Ordinary" Bitter, with oat malt, rye malt, corn flakes and MO. Worked exactly as intended...great body, flavor and mouthfeel with only 4.2% abv.

 

[Dgallo]

Now on to the homebrewed WCIPA ipa. Abv: 8.4% IBUs: 83 Hops: Columbus, Motueka, Nectaron. Drank a few oz before I remembered to take a picture lol

 

[Rish]

HB wheat.

 

[tdf]

HB hazy

 

[RCope]

Sticking with the low abv for now. HB Grodziskie (4.2%) goes really well with churassco and brussels. In general, I like the smoked beers with food.

 

[Rish]

Very tasty weizenbock. Definitely get the banana and clove but it's not over done. 7.7%.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

We'll go with the 2020 13

 

[RCope]

Moving on as the game progresses..HB NEIPA. A bit of CTZ for some dank on the hotside with Cashmere, Superdelic, and Simcoe throughout. Don't have the lighting to compare to @tdf but nice nonetheless. Cheers!

 

[South Arm Brew]

Watching THE GAME!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

First quarter a little oxidation.

Second quarter— this is kind of sweet Not much coffee in this coffee porter. Edit: once it warmed up a bit the coffee started to come through less sweetness perceived.

Watching this new show on TV if anyone's interested...

First shot at a beer, HB Nut Brown.

@TheDudeLebowski you have inspired me! 2/5/23 I brewed a monster stout, I called it "The Juggernaut". Cocoa nibs, vanilla, 12.2%. OG 1.125, FG 1.032. Aged in a bourbon charged barrel for a year. Then kegged, carbonated and bottled. Was just ok, strong alcohol sweetness, all dark chocolate. Good but not great. Gave a few out to my friends with mixed reviews. So your post made me think...yep, another year has passed. Now, still a lot of alcohol sweetness, but muted. Bitter dark chocolate but much smoother. I think, maybe another year ;-)...Of course, after this one, I'm done for the night.

Waxed too???

I was about to upgrade my setup when the haze explosion hit here. Never put it together when there's so much selection. Big stouts are still my want. That and lagers and maybe some funk

If you know Red I bought that keezer and it's still in the basement. #Graveyard

The culprit! Yeeeears ago

The lager at 4.5 weeks conditioning…and it tastes like it still needs a little time. Still got some hop burn, although much less than last week. Should have been a smaller pour I guess…and this is actually the second glass. Ooops! I’m freekin impatient!!

 

[Knightshade]

Going back to Tap #1, the hazy’ish pale ale. So great, I’ll definitely be sad to see this one go.

 

[pshankstar]

These tonight.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Two wee tastes of mead after making flavor adjustments. They’re good enough, maybe even a winner, time and judges will tell.

 

[Rish]

A little blackcurrant wine nightcap.

Feels like forever ago that I decided to try and make Tepache again from a homegrown pineapple. I strained it all out, and put what was left into a small mason jar in the fridge with a plastic lid that is supposed to seal. Figured it would be safe since it is in the fridge and..over the past week or so I had noticed that the area below the jar seemed to have a bit of a mess. Thought maybe I hadn't wiped off the jar well enough when I transferred, so wiped it down and didn't think much of it.

Until today, about the 3rd time now I've done this and decided maybe I should check it out. And I've been meaning to give it a taste anyways since I'm really not sure how it turned out and lo and behold..this damn thing has been carbonating!! Its got some funk to it, was a bit heavy handed with the cloves but pretty tasty!

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Every year at this time I try to convince the wife to move to the middle of Arizona where nothing lives nor pollinates. Every winter I post beers from here...my backyard...

Excellent beer, I think.. taste buds are a bit subdued

 

[MaxStout]

Another day, another HB bitter.

 

[Rish]

Secret Santa BBIS brewed in Columbus, OH. Malty, roasty, a little vanilla and oak, subtle coconut, 11% abv isn't evident. Delicious beer that would probably be great to age. Love it! Thanks, Santa!

 

[bailey mountain brewer]

Taster of most resent hb hazy.

It just occurred to me, perhaps I’ve been neglecting some of the fine British beers, primarily Ales available here in the States – a perfect opportunity to see what’s currently available! Trudging up and down the aisles at the local bottle shops, it’s not good news. It seems that a lot of the available Ales are missing. Slim pickins! I’d love a Timothy Taylor Landlord, but I haven’t seen them in years. Samuel Smith is represented well, so let’s segue between all the German Lagers with a Samuel Smith Lager of their own, their Pure Brewed Organic Lager Beer!

A Lager, WOW. Samuel Smith is well known for their wooden-cask aged Ales, open fermentation in Yorkshire stone squares , Fuggles, Goldings and a lot of old-world brewing mastery. Their Ales have a characteristic and classic fruitiness to me. Heading into this Lager I was on alert for excessive fruitiness, but nope! A clean tasty medium-bodied Lager, flavorful to please the most dedicated pub dwellers! I could drink a half dozen of these, great beer!

I see that Samuel Smith has moved up from the one-pint bottles over to an 18.7 ounce, 550 ml size. RIGHT ON! Onward and upward! Brewed at the old Tadcaster brewery using local organically produced barley and hops, this is a flavorful 5% ABV brew, Lagered in Samuel Smith’s underground caves after fermentation. Now that’s OLD SCHOOL. I love it! Put this one in your British beer repertoire! Cheers!
