Earlier today several tastes of homebrew (as a steward, not a judge), and this stout. View attachment 871539

The look of that stout…WOW….

Possible lightning storms tonight so pre-gaming...

I have never seen that in my 31yrs living in Austin. Am I missing out??

Edit, beer nerd buddy knows the owner. I guess they're available in our local grocery store but without a label with skulls and bones I must have glossed them over

I am a fan of Mexican lagers and this one hit the mark. I’d give it a 4.5 of 5.

HB stout

 

[RCope]

HB Grodziskie, remarkably clear after some time on tap for a 100% Smoked Wheat beer, easy drinking...

 

[TwistedGray]

Waiting on gaskets, mostly lazy day.

 

[corkybstewart]

I never get tired of this one.

And DP--Mk II lineup, of course.

One of rock and roll's greatest albums that few people know about.

Great beer. Glass from the worst brewery in Austin. It befuddles us nerds how this place is still alive.

My son found a Chimay gift box I gave him in 2011. It's been in his closet until yesterday so basically it's been stored around 68F. I've finished the Blue and the Red, both still taste like Chimay should, but it was time to drink them.

Chimay is really not great after 14 years. But the glass is still good.

Funny, I'd heard the name Wishbone Ash for forever, but never knew anything about the band or heard any of their music. In the past year I stumbled onto some of their songs almost by accident. Brilliant!! Now I'm kicking myself for all this time missed.

They had changed their style a few times over the years. The first 3 albums are the best, IMO. Prog rock with some blues and folk influences--and twin lead guitars! Argus is perhaps their finest, and Pilgrimage is also worth seeking out. By the mid-70s they ventured more towards pop. Then later they turned to more hard-edged rock, but those cool melodies were gone.

Never saw them in concert, though they toured the U.S. extensively back then.

My Pilsner quest is yet unsatisfied, therefore Beermeister32 has to do another beer run this week. Because of this, today I’m dipping into the home brew reserve here – with my own Bavarian Pilsner!

My Bavarian Pils starts out with Weyermann Barke Pilsner malt. I use Hallertau Mittlefruh and Tettnanger hops, 32 IBU, 5.1% ABV, 2.77 SRM, Munich water profile and WLP833 Bock yeast. This uses a stepped mash, pitch at 48F, ferment at 50F before ramping up to ambient for a D-rest and then lagering 90 days at 34F. I do sneak a bit of dextrose into the mash to keep the ABV where it should be while keeping the SRM in check - and 4 oz of wheat in the mash for lacing and head retention purposes - so no claim on 1516-Purity here!

Tastes great like a Pilsner should – make sure to use continental malt and hops and you’ll be in the ball park. Prost!

Nah.

A glass of my Leffe Blonde sat in the garden after a busy day brewing and gardening.

 

[fatjay]

I first saw this on UK's Top Gear in the Burma special. Since then I've been trying to find it. And a few months ago, I did!

Poured myself a stiff one. It went down smoother than expected. And it was more fruity than expected.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Sounds like a 1960’s British Carry On film dialogue.

 

[MaxStout]

Out on the deck with a HB Skibsol (Danish smoked ale).

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

This Rye needs to go.....

 

[BongoYodeler]

HB coconut flavored milk stout. Need to finish this keg, have an ipa just about ready for the keezer.

 

[Rish]

Tasty, refreshing zwickelbier.
