I know what you mean. Sorry about your mom. Lost my dad to cancer at 55 years old back in the 80's.
Thanks.

I'd forgotten that there were 4 pounds of homemade corned beef curing in my fridge. Thanks for reminding me!
Just put 10 gallons of homebrewed bitter in the kegerator. Very tasty!

I lost both my dad and mom to cancer, one year apart in 2016 and 2017.
My condolences to both of you. Fark cancer.

I’ve accepted the fact that it can’t be duplicated. Looking nice is the easiest part… I just can’t get the taste right. My stouts are ok, but not Guinness.
That's incredibly sad. I can't imagine.
Good night…
Secret Santa limoncello. I believe this is a Mrs. Claus creation and my wife, grandson and I agree that it's a delicious digestif: sweet, lemony, tasty! Thanks @Brew_Dude41 !

Another beer from the cellar, this time still within the decade!
Trader Joe’s Vintage Ale 2021
Like all the Trader Joe’s beers, this one is brewed by a large contract brewer. Some you can figure out by where it’s packaged, others, like this, clearly say on the bottle. As far as I know these annual beers appear around the winter holidays and have always been made by Unibroue in Canada. They have all been some variation of a dark Belgian ale around 9%. This one says it was made with spices but IIRC that wasn’t always stated. At any rate, they’re a Belgian winter warmer that I never usually drink fresh.
Cork came out easily but with force and a clear pop. Pours a deep ruby brown with a tan head. Aroma is first of apples and pears, but is followed by cherry and plum, then allspice and clove.
Malty but not very sweet. Raisins, plums, and the spices that could be from yeast or the actual spices. After a few minutes I’m getting bubble gum. Full and a little coating, but not chewy. Nice and round. No alcohol notes or hops.
I see on the bottle a best by 8/20/24 which is probably about 3 years from when it was bottled. This is very nice but probably not getting better. A good time to crack it open.

Last of the HB WCIPA along with the Belgian awesomeness..
Ja, confusing. Beers labeled Pilsner, Original Premium and Helles. All three are Lagers…. and more!

Let us dump Lager and Ale and use top- and bottom-fermented beers from German-speaking countries. Because of our political climate, many German beers are relabeled for the US market. If a label says it's great with pork chops, the beef producer goes crazy and runs to court.
I haven't seen that label yet!

Decided on a Hazy IPA today promising myself I'll do the Rye IPA next.
Tried the first bottle of my HB Skibsol (Danish "ship beer"). Not bad, could use another week of conditioning. 4.6% ABV. The smoke seems a bit muted, but definitely there. The Munich I gives it a little more malty goodness and the rye provides a little edge.
I thought this would be a lot like Grodziskie, but it is quite different. If you want to brew a low-ABV smoke beer, this is one to consider.

16% HB Mead, roughly a year on. Worst I've made. It's usually all gone by now.
Two Hearted Ale
The clearest IPA I've seen in, well, forever. Got some floral notes but not the bitter bomb as the old school ipas were
Hb nitro stout. Hb Reuben.
