It's a nice-looking German dark. Not all German darks are Schwarzbiers.

I wonder how many folks here have seen the original with Dick Van Dyke...
Work lunch in the usual parking lot. Nothing going on, should've bought 2 at only $3.50ea. Fridaylujah!
Another Sully. It's almost St. Paddy's--need a head start!
Another weekend. Another Starkbierfest. Low 60's and not a cloud in the sky. Had to hit the biergarten.
Notch in Boston. Alte Sticke and the Polski Baltic Porter. Very underrated brewery

It's the speedo that takes the hit in the summer.
A home brew lager with northern brewer hops, a little bit of citrus pops through, tasty.
On a real Belgian kick right now. Grabbed one of those mixed 6-pack things from BevMo just for the hell of it. Off to a good start. Not mind-blowing but quite enjoyable. The head on this thing just won’t quit

Still working on this HB NEIPA, keg will just not kick. But I'm really not complaining.
Hb stout kicked... oh wait, got a backup keg in the basement kegerator hahah, with homemade Reubens, everything homemade but the swiss.. corned beef, pastrami, sauerkraut, russian dressing, marbled rye sourdough... mmmmhmmm
Henninger is an old school German brewer based out of Frankfurt, Germany, since 1869. Henninger is another of those tennis-ball brands, having been bounced back and forth, and sold off multiple times over the years. Once the #3 in brewer Germany, today it is humbly a brand of the Radeberger Gruppe, KG. Henninger has the notoriety of being the first German Lager in cans – for me great news as I’m not a fan of the green glass!
I’m deep into my Pilsner journey, and I get excited over another white label can – another Pilsner, right? I mean most of those German Pilsners are in white cans, that means Pils, eh? Well, looking at the can it says “Lager.” I guess that could mean about 20 different types of beer ranging from Helles to Schwarzbier!
So what type of Lager is this? Cracking the can, I’m hoping Pilsner, but looks can deceive. Pouring a golden color, reasonable head, this could indeed be Pils – but after taking a gulp, I’m left with thoughts more along the lines of a slightly up-hopped Helles, the bittering is more restrained than found in Pilsners. Not really as malty as many Helles brews though. All packaged up in a white Pilsner-inspired can. I think they’re aiming at the middle ground between Pilsner and Helles. One beer to hit both markets, more or less - of course!
The Internet shows this is a Reinheitsgebot, 1516 brew, scouts honor! The can doesn’t mention it though…. 4.8% ABV of Lager pleasure, enjoy!

HB brown
Split this earlier with a buddy that came to help brew, one of my favorite neipas, this was canned just short of 7 months ago and still freaking fantastic, love this brewery, wish it was closer to home.
Back home after a 26 hour trip up north for a friend's funeral. F cancer.

Weekend starts now with a 9000 acre fire west of us. Makes for nice sunset colors.
Awesome! I don’t know much about racing but I’ve been learning. My son is really into any racing and wants to study mechanical engineering and be a race car engineer. We’ve been to races at Mid Ohio the last couple years and are going to the Indy 500 this year. Also gone to some local tracks around Cleveland. Watkins Glen would be awesome to see. I’m sure it’s in his list to see someday.

HB Irish Stout
Brewed a pale ale this morning and spent the afternoon replacing suspension parts on my daughter’s old Durango. Shocks, upper and lower ball joints on both sides and hub assembly on the right. I’m bushed and ready for some beers.

In the German-speaking brewing world, a Lager refers to Helles or Helles Lager. A Pils, bockbeers, etc., are all bottom fermented like a Helles but are not called lagers. Three years ago, when the head brewer from Weihenstephan Tobias introduced his new Helles, English-speaking listeners were confused too.
Thanks to the British for making the first light malt, German and Austrian brewers brewed their first Helles lager, which was just called a lager.
