What are you drinking now?

[MaxStout]

Just finished cutting down an ailing magnolia tree in our yard. Time for a beer!

 

[BongoYodeler]

First pour of my partially carbed Munich Dunkel. Thanks @camonick for documenting your “Dunk!!!” recipe. Initial taste is very good, and I imagine it’ll only taste better as it ages and clears. I’m naming mine “Dunkelganger” as in that German style Dunkel that looks like another.

I even have an AI generated label for when I add it to my Untappd brewery page. Yeah, I’m geeky that way.

I made some introductions last week and now we are working on a partnership between these guys and the company I work for, San Diego Harley Davidson. We have a lot of cool ideas in the works including a potential collab brew that I may be involved in.

That's awesome, Tony B!!!!

Yeah. It’s exciting. My lady’s son is a sales rep for Mission and we’ve been talking about it for a while but finally found the right time and place.

Spent the day at mom's with my son doing some fix it and clean up for mom. Had a nice dinner and finishing off the night with a Beerios beer that I made with the help of Floppyknockers. Life is good.

My session hazy IPA. 4.2% ABV, 25 IBUs, massively whirlpooled and dry hopped with Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy, and Sabro. This is literally what I'm drinking right now.

And some pics from recent brewery visits:

(West Coast Brewing in Shizuoka, Vertere's new taproom in Eifukucho, Tokyo, and two beers from the recent Oedo Beer Festival in Nakano, Tokyo)

Such great names!
How could I not try optimized synergy ?

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

A couple of these.

HB Wry Smile, my fourth iteration. A classic. And in a famous (infamous?) glass.

 

[leedspointbrew]

I'll buy that. Among my many and varied crimes against beer, I have yet to produce a soapy beer. If I can't do it, I'm pretty sure nobody can.

I'll take that as a challenge.

I am enjoying a few Stachelbiers for lunch. This simple process enhances the caramel aroma and flavor of the beer.

How warm does the beer get?

 

[ClaudiusB]

How warm does the beer get?

It all depends on the rod size and the starting temperature of the beer. When the CO2 starts to boil off, the escaping CO2 takes the heat with it in the form of warm foam. My beers stay cool.

G&T with a little St. Germain.

 

[bailey mountain brewer]

Still sick ish, Still cutting trees, me and and my 2 brother's in law got a lot cleaned up today, feel accomplished, yard says otherwise.
Beer helps.

 

[TwistedGray]

I haven't done this in a long time

Friday: A flight a Saga Meadery. Two Bourbon Barrel Aged meads, one with "winter" spices, a strawberry mead, and a habanero mead. All very good! I had never had any mead other than my own few attempts, so now I have mead goals!

Today: Peach Cider. Considering that this is Walmart AJ and Jumex Peach "Nectar" it is really nice, especially with just a touch of backsweetening!

 

[Tony B]

Just saw someone running by the brewery we’re at. Who does that?

 

[RCope]

Was a completive runner for most of my life. One of the reasons I got into brewing was that I couldn't run anymore. Needed another "hobby".
HB Mango Sour...with leftovers from last years harvest. This year is going to be a banner year. I have a Mango IPA scheduled for next Sunday.

I’ve been playing around with easy to blend, easy to drink 1970’s-style pizza beers. Back in the day, all your big national brewers had kegs of their dark beers available for restaurants and bars. Many of them even bottled up their beers for retail sale.

A lot of these were said to have been modifications to their standard beers, sometimes even colorized or flavored in the keg.

1970’s dark pizza beers were actually very popular – and in some ways might be viewed as precursors to the craft beer movement in the beginning in the 1980’s. How much better was it having a pitcher of dark beer, a 16” pepperoni pizza or maybe a Hawaiian with pineapple and a game of darts… great fun!

Today’s blender features a Victoria Vienna lager blended with a Moose Drool Brown Ale. OK, Ok, I know a Lager/Ale blender. No biggie, this tastes great! I have enough beer here for a 2:1 mix of 4% ABV Victoria Vienna Lager by Modello with a can of Big Sky Brewing 5% ABV Moose Drool. That puts our pizza beer blender right around 4.33% ABV.

Nothing definitive here, I have an Alaskan Amber Ale I’m going to try next time. Groovy!

 

[leedspointbrew]

Real beer in a real tulip this time. Solid NEIPA, comical can.

 

[Rish]

Very good 8% wee heavy with angelica root and smoked barley.
