What are you drinking now?

[bailey mountain brewer]

Long day, took the day off work to ... work .. on these damn trees that are everywhere.. oh and I'm sick so it's like I work for 20 minutes and have to take a 20 min break... not like me .. sorry I'm wining.. I did get to run a stihl 661 today with tuned intake and exhaust ports.. that was enjoyable... drinking a hb hazy which I served to my buddy for helping.. and bringing his stud of a chainsaw to help out.

Fresh figs, dried figs, fig jam, fig preserves, fig liqueur, boiled figs, fried figs, fig scampi, fig ettouffee....

Peppered fig old fashioned. Goes very well with fig, goat cheese and prosciutto pizza. Think I might try some fig balsamic vinegar. I need more delayed gratification in my life.

If you ever want to get rid of some, Ill PayPal you with S/H cost. Absolutely love figs!

 

[mac_1103]

I doubt that they'd ship well unless frozen or dried.

Cheers to @Thorrak! What a great FotD submission. Very unique. It cost me $129 to get 3 W12s and a glass back in 2015/16?

Between the flights, rental car, train tickets, and bribes for my partner to help carry it all, that sounds about right.

Absolutely worth it! Amazing beer.

Well, with experience with USPS and ice packs for beer... just saying....

Sounds like they are a scourge similar to zucchinis.

Brew on

Fig mead. I’m not drinking fig mead though, I had a sip of aged HB dandelion mead earlier.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Someone said Mead. HB 16%

Getting low on the Czech Pilsner. Been an awesome run of 8 batches over the last year, perfecting it to my taste buds. I love Saaz. But tomorrow I am doing a German Pilsner to change it up.

Still milking the Czech Pilsner & loving it. I win an reward on every sip.

Brother in law brought this over the weekend and left it here soooo. Why not.. it's OK, not my typical beverage but it's helping my sore throat.

 

[Bramling Cross]

Carb check on the hefe I kegged on Sunday.

 

[bailey mountain brewer]

Easy drinker, 2 sourdough loaves left is all bread flour, right has some whole wheat and rye.

 

[Bramling Cross]

Speaking as a confirmed sourdough fiend, those loaves are beautiful. Fantastic work!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Blending/adjusting mead for NHC and cleaning up and such.

 

[Rish]

Grape wheat beer. Not carbed yet but I wanted to taste and get an sg sample that I forgot to do when I bottled. Definitely get the grape and it isn't bad. It'll probably improve when it carbs up.

HB ipa. Sort of a test. This was brewed on March 8th and kegged on March 26th. It was bottled from the keg via my Tapcooler on April 25th. It’s been sitting, bottled, in my garage fridge since then, and opened just now. It actually held up quite well, considering it’s age.

Thanks, I started my sourdough extravaganza almost a year ago, making a loaf or 2 a week, different variations.. now I'm starting to feel comfortable not following recipes and just doing whatever. Still working on my sourdough pizza crust though, that has been a little tough to nail down, I think more on the timing, my last pizza dough overfermented and I made it work but it was a challenge, a sticky one.

Yum

Alesmith makes one mighty nice Pale Ale! Or is it a lightly hopped IPA? That's a question for the ages, it's not going to be answered here. I will say this - .394 Pale Ale is a hoppy and refreshing Ale - One apparently developed with and for Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn. Another San Diego favorite!

American IPA's trace their roots back to British IPA's. The interesting thing is, if you were drinking an original British IPA, you would think its a hoppy Ale like this. Those British versions, while the progenitors of the style - aren't nearly as hoppy as their American progeny!

.394 Pale Ale is a absolutely delicious APA or IPA - take your pick. It is brewed in San Diego and has a 6% ABV. Moderate head, light lacing, this is a terrific beer to pick up a 4 pack - and enjoy it on a Saturday afternoon. Drink it all, it's worth it! Cheers!

First bottle of HB oatmeal stout. Only conditioned 2 weeks so far. Tastes good but needs another week or so for better head.

I'm always doing that--impatient and wanting to try one.

You, and likely all of us here.

I BS it and dress it up as a "carb check."

I don't know who came up with that originally, but it's a great excuse!

Is that the one with the Windsor? It looks like it cleared up just fine and turned into a great looking stout.

 

[Pennine]

It's cold outside back to the warmer types of beer.

Yup. My first Windsor brew.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Doctor said 4 weeks of boot/scooter, I gave it 5. Brave? Stupid? Anyway, tested. Went to Home Depot. After 15min of awkward walking, calf "popped" again. We'll see what the therapist says Thursday. In meantime, x2 painkillers... frustrating.

 

[Rish]

Very tasty Scottish oatmeal stout aged in Irish whiskey casks.

 

[Tony B]

I just got home from work and poured myself a half pint of what is likely one of the last glasses I’ll get from my keg of Belgian single.
