So-called Polish fest.
Brewed a Pilsner today and kegged a NEIPA. Resting with a HB Schwarzbier. It’s about time for this beer to go away… it’s ok, but just not quite what I was shooting for.
The Beermeister32 clan has dragged me to drink this weird elixir called “wine.” Strange, they actually ferment using grapes rather than barley! Who woulda thunk!
Today we are visiting Wilson Creek Winery in Temecula, to indulge in the first of six bottles. Temperature is a nice dry 85F with a super light breeze, 80’s hit music playing around the winery, perfect for entertaining, enjoying, and imbibing glassfuls of this liquid of the alternate universe… called “wine!”

When asked, I always say that my favorite wine is beer ;-) HB Bitter with EKG and Williamette, fermented with Windsor. Delicious!
Not quite understanding? Ninkasi does a lot of IPAs which I really enjoy. Also their bottle labels fall off if you look at them funny, making the bottles excellent for re-use.
Was my ex-husband's absolute favorite, he grew up on the South Side of Chicago (Harvey) and our first trip there I swear he'd had two before we got out of the airport.
Guzzling fermenter dregs again. With full kegs, I decided to put my ale fermenter to use making something a bit bigger than usual that I could stash in a keg for a month or so. It's an all-malt best bitter with 2.5% brown malt to really push the toast in the malt. Notthing fancy, just Otter, the brown malt, Fuggles, and EKGs with the Fullers strain doing the work. With this keg occupying the ale fermentation fridge, I can get an early jump on my big Fall brewery tear down and set to work on the ale fermenter a bit early since it'll be out of commission for 4-6 weeks.'
Knowing that it'll sit in the keg for a month prior to tapping, I didn't even bother crashing it.

Playing ketchup...
Citrusy, lemony, not too sour, dangerously quaffable at 9.5%. I like it.
HB, 5.2% SMaSH pale - 100% Golden Promise with Krush hops to 38 ibu’s
Yum yum

Dogs feed. Steaks are dry brining. Time for another
Stiegl Hell is another fantastic Helles brew and readily follows the Bavarian model, as the town of Salzburg, Austria is right on the Bavarian border. I’m sure lots of beer adventurers cross that border regularly!
Stiegl produces their Hell at a 4.5% ABV, a touch low in the Helles world. This beer is also a touch cloudier than some of the other Helles brews I’ve been drinking this past week and a half. Malty and with decent lacing, this is a beer you need to know! I’ve been enjoying mine with a big Snyder’s pretzel and some Gulden’s spicy brown mustard, already consumed!
I have to say, that if I had to take a two-day break from this project, my Saturday trip to Stone Brewing in Escondido, California and follow-up Sunday journey to Wilson Creek Winery in the lovely Temecula, California wine county was definitely worth it! Now back to enjoying my Helles beer duties!

Another nice day with a refresher.
It's good. Tasty, citrusy, not too sour. Will definitely have it again.
