Agreed! My wife really likes em. I love blue moon, tried it, and was really impressed with em. Really glad to see more NA options out there
My Bloody Valentine, a seasonal red which I continue to love.
However…this is NOT the brewery that I fell in love with so many years ago.

And now another beer from deep in the cellar.
Anchor Our Special Ale 2009
A loud pssst on opening.
Poured with a good head and carbonation.
Aroma is perfumey and flowery.
First sip is of spices. Cinnamon, pine and faint spruce. Spice fades to cocoa and roasted malt, toasted bread crust and some light bitterness.
Very drinkable and does not seem like it is 15 years old. It is not sweet and still has a touch of bitterness but the spices are more prominent. It is interesting that the aroma doesn’t match the flavor at all. Still very nice.

Their taproom is definitely worth a visit if you can (Track and Cloudwater are very close by too)
Just got back from a 2-day road trip to visit family in SD. Not fun fighting 50mph crosswinds coming and going, but great to catch up with fam.

A random imperial stout from Quebec I’ve never tried. Quite nice!
HB Helles.
Last bottle in existence of this batch... hate to see it go.
Plan to brew an Irish Red tomorrow

My golden coffee stout is STILL not carbonated, I even switch CO2 bottles thinking maybe I got a bad one from the local keg and bottle place.
So I’m rocking this damn keg on my lap attempting to force carb it, freezing me legs and think that I…need a beer!
Definitely don’t pick up the spicy notes I tend to find myself not liking in Pilsners with this one, which I’m beginning to think is an association with Saaz. Blasphemy!!
Regardless, thanks @fourfarthing!

This one is more of a “What Are You Drinking Out Of?” post.
Years ago after my grandfather had passed away and my grandmother moved in to my parents place, I acquired a set of beer glasses that were going to go away if I didn’t want them. They were my grandfathers, but were still in the original box and probably never used.
With my current move I rediscovered the box and I’ve decided to actually use them.
They are Coors glasses with an old interlocking A and C logo and A Coors signature. I’m sure these were some promotional product or giveaway with saved up proof of purchase.
They are hexagonal but have an almost faux wood texture to them. The stem is a little chunky but also hexagonal and sturdy. The glass will also produce a clear tone when you run your wet finger around the rim!
I’m guessing it’s from sometime in the 60’s. Anyone have any better idea?
My fridge is currently out of the Banquet Beer from Golden Colorado, so Chico’s finest will have to do for the inaugural beer.
I think I need to find some of the stubby bottles of Coors and recreate some ad from the 60’s!

Moersleutel double mashed triple IPA. Very enjoyable big hazy consumed whilst building Duplo train sets with my youngest.
Here’s one new to me. Ettaler Edel-Hell, produced by Monastery Kloster Etter, since 1330.
Well the name means this is the good stuff. A 5.2% ABV Helles, how can you go wrong? Well at least I get another nifty Ayinger type bottle to re-use, one of my fav’s. Oh the beer? Back to Sunday School fellas, this is as footy a Helles as you are going to find. Maybe it's the shipping supply chain mishandling at fault, it's a long way from there to here. Anyway, makes me pray alright. Pray I don’t have to drink another! Nicht sehr gut!

We just call them "Standard Euroflaschen"
... they're mostly connected here to Augustiner and Tegernseer. Lot of the other breweries use the NRW bottle...
What I drank - been to Porto, Portugal, and had a visit to a local brewery Nor Tada right next door. Of course we shared the tasting trays there with all the available brews from tap:
Lager, Märzen, Vienna Lager, IPA,
Quadrupel, Dark Lager, Imperial Stout and a local Cider.
Liked the IPA and the stout the most.
After paying I got an invitation to visit (but don't touch anything!!) the tasting room.
