Uhh, G&T was basically invented for hot and humid. And malaria.
I'm working on destroying my liver so it will kill the mosquitoes
Depending where you look, Henninger is either listed as a “Lager” or a “Helles Lager”. For me, this is a beer that again, truly splits the difference and exists in that delicious “grey area” somewhere between malty Helles and hoppy Pilsner. I’m tellin’ ya, it is right there in the middle!
Most of what I read categorizes it as a Helles, but I think the sneaky old Brewmasters at Henninger have been shoveling a bit more hops into the kettle, this has a slight hop brightness more associated with Pilsners. Again, this isn’t a Pilsner, it is more on the low end toward a Helles. So what does that leave us? Again, it’s RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE!
Henninger is a 4.8% ABV brew and is currently a product of Radeberger Gruppe, KG. It’s one of those brands that has served many masters over the years, once one of Germany’s top sellers. Still tasty and a real bargain, stock up!

Brats for dinner, so why not? Cheers to Dude’s liver!
Going thru this thread... Hell yeah. Going with a gin & tonic, with a few sprigs of fresh mint from the garden. Watch a little all-star game (yawn, not a fan)... Call it a day.
Livers are overrated. You only need a sliver of a good part to regrow a new anyway.

Happy "Sunday"...

A half pour of panther piss inspired light lager. Yum
Why.
Won’t.
You.
Die?!!!!
The keg of Panther Piss is groaning and sputtering, but it will not give up the ghost. Unbelievable.

Hydration before mowing.
AL brewed brut ale with orange juice. Doesn't seem as dry as brut would imply, orange is subtle but definitely there. Tasty beer, 7%.

Is that a 10 gallon keg masquerading as a 5?
It's not dead, it's pining for the fjords.
The Bruery is a favorite out of Orange County, California. Based in Placentia, they produce a variety of Ales, Lagers and sours and are well represented in the local bottle shops. Ruekeller Helles is their entry into the Helles market. Ruekeller Helles is a 5.2% ABV Helles Lager “inspired by old-world brewing techniques in the likeness of the traditional name” whatever the heck that means!
I was trying to locate the IBU on this beer, but to no avail. Ruekeller Helles seems to me a bit aggressive on the palate compared to all the other mellow German Helles examples I have. Bitterness almost like a Pilsner in IBU level with a little bit of zingy bite on the front end, weird. I’m still trying to figure this one out.
So at least we have some California brewers taking a swing at bat. The Bruery has a companion Ruekeller Pilsener (yes Northern German spelling variation) which I'd like to try. Actually this one seems to me in Pilsner IBU range, I wonder about their Ruekeller Pilsener – IPA range perhaps? Ha! Prost!

We went from mid-90s yesterday to barely above 60 today. Good day for some comfort food--an evening of haute cuisine. Tater tot hot dish and 3-buck chuck in a cheap plastic cup.
