After transferring my SMASH IPA to brite kegs it was time for this HB Non-hazy IPA

Yep, still my favorite bourbon.

I wouldn’t really call myself a bourbon connoisseur. I’ll typically drink one bottle over the course of a year, usually Woodford. This last time I bought the double oaked version, but I really don’t care for it all that much. Just too in your face oaky. When this is finished I’m switching back to the non-oak version.

I agree, I did the Kentucky bourbon trail about 15 years ago, what an experience. Not saying I'm a connoisseur either but I know a thing or 2.. I don't drink it as often as I used to, just don't drink that much hard liquor in general anymore, but of all the ones we went to Woodford just stood out to me and has been my go to bourbon ever since.
 
Today I’m drinking another San Diego brew, Mt. Pils by Modern Times Beer. I really enjoy a beer that “puts all its specs on the can,” you could nearly brew this with all the information stated:

Pilsner Malt, Saaz & Tettnanger hops, 34 IBU with a Final Gravity of 1.008, 4 SRM, 4.8% ABV. Plug all this this into Brewer’s Friend, fiddle a couple numbers and you have your Pilsner recipe!

Tasty and spritzy, Mt. Pils is an easy drinking American Pilsner - It’s so great to see these being brewed locally! Available in those fantastic 19.2 ounce stovepipes, finally a can with enough volume to satisfy my thirst. Well, until beer #2 that is! Now if we could only get San Diego’s Alesmith Anvil Pilsner in this size! Prost, dude!

HB pale ale. It’s been a minute because I’ve had a sick pet and that really puts a damper on the beer drinking.
She’s doing better, but mad about the medication and even more mad about the copious bald spots.
So here I am having a beer and plotting a pils brewday soon.

HB pilsner featuring Zumo hops. Cleared nicely, tapped just two days ago. Really an amazing beer, the Zumo is indeed very citrus forward, reminds me of Citra with less "bite". But it is a pilsner, so much lower hop saturation compared to an IPA or even a Pale. Unfortunately, my best flavor descriptors are "good" and "not good" ;-). This one is definitely "good". And in one of my favorite glasses. Cheers!

A bottle of HB imperial pumpkin-spice stout (1.120 -> 1.040) that I brewed a loooong time ago. It was weird for well over a year (tap water had lost a lot of it's usual CaCO3 load due to monstrous rains). Tonight? It's pretty amazing!
I have a pumpkin in the fridge from 2024. Not an Imperial, but I hope it undergoes a similar transformation. Because it most definitely was not amazing last I checked.
