What are you drinking now?

I’d like to be the Nitro widget salesman, looks like these things are really taking off! Wexford Irish Style Crème Ale is based on an 1810 recipe out of the County of Wexford and is brewed by Greene King, Edmunds England. Wexford is a 4.8% ABV Ale.

Definitely a pub Ale, this has a lot of the fruitiness I find in a lot of Samuel Smith brews. This brew takes the cake on lacing, looks like big puffy snow drifts in the glass!

I’m not sure what differentiates a pub Ale from an “Irish Style” pub Ale, but these definitely are best served in a noisy pub with a lot of ladies and gents blowing off steam after a day’s work!

Again, that 14.9 oz sizing filled my glass precisely, so everyone walks away in one piece. A great, somewhat fruity or estery pub Ale, very traditional. Some like these served at cellar temperature of 55F to really bring out the flavors, I still prefer the 38F, thank you. Lower than usual carbonation, the Nitro blend in the glass flattened this down to about 1.5 volumes I’d guess. Remember, that’s the style…. Cheers!

Secret Santa peanut butter chocolate stout brewed in Worthington, OH. Definitely get the PBC with a touch of coffee bitter, not too sweet, 10%. Great tasting beer. Thanks, Santa!

Realized I made zero reference to what I was actually drinking. Nectarine Bones wild ale by Firestone Walker. I don’t do wild ales often, but it seems like the FW ones I really enjoy.

Care to elaborate on "the gorge"? Love hiking myself...

Yum yum. This reminds me I still have a Rye IPA to brew.

Columbia Gorge. lots of great hikes on both the Oregon and WA side. We did Mosier Plateau, a decent winter walk although the view was a bit socked in,

A little HM blackcurrant wine night cap.

Had friends over for dinner tonight. Already had quite a few beers before taking this pretty poor picture. Oops. A nice Fieldwork ipa, a major pineapple bomb.

*Edit, I guess I also took this picture of another beer I had earlier in the evening, a North Park ipa, triple dry hopped with Mosaic. Another crappy picture.
I guess I was really off my game tonight.

Flying galore these days?

Tropical is strong in this one. The oil is much better with a hazy then a WCIPA.

 

[Rish]

Pretty tasty Pils brewed in Hamburg, Germany.

 

[MaxStout]

Poured the last of the Rotbiers.

Beer-Loving Daughter #2’s ears stick straight up anytime I mention the word “Stout”. Kind of like a dog that hears the word “Cookie”, it’s a natural response I think. She’s in Seattle too – a modern day Mecca for a lot of other dark brews – Coffee ground zero, Cascadian Dark Ales, and of course a lot of Stouts. I remember well the “Dark Star” Stout I had from Fremont Brewing in Seattle - another modern-day classic.

Maybe it’s the rainy weather that England and the Pacific Northwest share – makes coffee and Stouts just seem like a natural fit. Samuel Smith is well known on this turf – today I’m enjoying another of their fine Ales, Samuel Smith Imperial Stout!

As another beer open fermented in their famous stone Yorkshire squares, this is a fantastic Stout. It lacks some of the heavy fruity esters of some of their other Ales, which I appreciate. Looks like they won the Gold Medal at the 1896 International Brewer’s Exhibition too. Great job!

This is a strong Stout, 7% ABV and is brewed with well water from that 1758 hole in the ground. There’s something about the historic nature of this brew that’s really appealing – Our parents, grandparents, great grandparents, heck even great-great grandparents have likely enjoyed this and other Samuel Smith brews all from that same water source and the Old Tadcaster Brewery. What a great and historic jewel, let’s keep it going folks! You’ll love this, Cheers!

So, I decide to clear out the beer fridge. I have a lot of leftovers from trades, both my own beer and others. I always drink at least one of each of the beers from a trade (FOTHB anyone?), but sometimes I get multiples. Honestly, I forget which ones I saved because I really liked them or saved because they were good enough to keep but not good enough to drink more of (at that time). Anyway, this is one of my own beers that I brewed in June of 2022. An attempt at a "Twisted Thistle" clone. Still carbonated, still good...

trade (FOTHB anyone?),

Is that still a thing? I missed the last few rounds because of health reasons and unavailable HB. Might be interested in another go soon.
Running dangerously low on HB again. For cutting back on my drinking, it sure seems like my kegs don’t last very long.
I’ve been wanting to brew, but it’s kinda hard with forecasts like this. Supposed to be warmer this weekend.

HB Helles. Last pint

 

[loganklaas]

A couple of Bell’s while cleaning the carburetor on the snowblower. Runs like new now.

Just a little sipper for a nightcap. Local distillery here in Columbus the birthplace of Prohibition (or so the story goes).
Their Whiskey War is one of my favorite bottles and if you happen to see it, I highly recommend it.
