Enjoying a recently kegged (6 days old) glass of Golden Pale Face Ale (a homebrew, batch #58 from 2/2024.)
It's only about 75% carbed but still delicious.

No, yesterday’s San Diego area 5.2 earthquake didn’t knock me offline. So here is yesterday's foamy epistle. Just make sure you hit the "post reply” button. That’s the message for today, otherwise your beer thoughts will be consumed only by you! With yesterday’s drink, I'm continuing on with my Faux German beer project!

Harland Brewing is another San Diego brewer, and they make a true and authentic Märzen with Pilsner and Munich malts, Hallertau Blanc and Saaz hops.

This is a 5% ABV nice drinker, good head and great lacing. Again, like many West Coast Lagers, it is a bit cloudy compared to the benchmarks. I’m also picking up a slight fuity ester that I’m not tasting in many Märzenbiers. Still a great brew, enjoy!

Hb neipa, citra strata galaxy. Haven't brewed with Galaxy for a few years... well this 2024 Galaxy from YVH is just fine.. not what it once was but a hell of a lot better then crops I had during its off years. Kegged a couple days ago so it still needs a couple more but no complaints here. It's more straw colored then the picture leads on.

Twelve Percent Brewing makes this tasty 6% ABV Oktoberfest Märzen. I’m sure there’s a back story there somewhere! Out of North Haven, Connecticut, I have no idea how this can made it all the way to the Left Coast, but it did!

I love it when brewers use the “Oktoberfest” spelling rather than the dullard’s “Octoberfest” spelling. Really gets me in the mood to drink beer!

Small amount of head and lacing, here’s another Oktoberfest that pours cloudy with a bit of murk in the bottom of the can which got transferred to the glass. I wonder if we’re asking a bit much to polish these better, I mean these are Faux German Lagers, not cloudy and murky domestic Amber Ales. Enjoy!

A warm Flanders Red brewed in 2015 (club project.) Surprisingly good considering that it's room temp, and has been abused in storage for 10 years. Keg was almost empty, and I need it for another brew, but couldn't bear the thought of dumping what little was left.
