What are you drinking now?

[Pennine]

Well I am excited about this one. Finally came across a beer engine! From a local homebrewer too. Looking forward to getting it set up and the poring one of these guys.

Freeloading chickens finally put out! Another HB wheat

All Nectaron HB Hazy. Almost at the end of the keg

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Plan on working 9 of the next 10 days..so slowing a bit.

A Manchester classic
My journey to brew something akin to this will continues next weekend

Cracked open the first bottle of HB malt liquor. Turned out just as I expected. Minimal hop bitterness, rich maltiness, nice corn sweetness. I think I'm going to like this. Imperial fizzy yellow beer. The gelatin did the trick. It would look clearer in the pic if it wasn't for the condensation on the glass.

HM cider

 

[Pennine]

Whoa that's sweet, very good too.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Instead of "slowing" down drinking for the extended work week ahead, maybe savoring the time off I DO have would be better?

I am taking a beer break with a Schwarzbier from the home brewery work.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Yes.. better...

Just to put a fine point on it…. Which would you rather have? A wimpified little pathetic and mundane becher of Düsseldorf Altbier or a huge and delicious Maßkrug of München Helles!

I know where my vote goes….and it’s not to the dinky little Altbier glass. In fact I have a new name for these dinky little Altbier glasses… henceforth I shall proclaim a new name for the becher…… “The Dinkster!”

So, tonight I’m doing double duty – working on these fabulous Hofbräuhaus Helles Lagers and a little feeble Dinkster of Altbier as a chaser. Funny how two groups can come up with completely opposite solutions to the same problem – how do we get more beer into our beer patrons? Multiple Dinksters served by some waiter-dude on a metal tray or BIG chug-worthy MasKrugs of Helles, preferably served by Kellnerin in their Dirndls! Munich has it figured out, Yeah! Prost!

Belhaven Scottish ale on nitro brewed in Dunbar, Scotland. Haven't heard of this before (understandable since they've only been around since 1719) so had to try it. Nutty, biscuit-y, interesting malt character, slightly fruity and sweet. I like this ale.

Somewhere close to the last gallon of a HB American Brown Ale. Live at the Apollo. Enjoying a tall glass.

Already have the grains weighed out for the next batch of it. Delicious!

Monterey Car Week

Das mickrige Trinkglas.

 

[BongoYodeler]

Totality imperial stout, from Fifty Fifty Brewing in Truckee, CA. A 9.9% silky smooth stout, with a head so thick and creamy you could float a witch on it.

Awesome, I can't wait to get my hands on some blue crabs. An acquaintance of mine does crabbing as a side hustle so I buy from him when I get the chance. Used to get them from my uncle but he's getting old and some health issues keeping him off the boat.

Looks delicious. Alvarado Street is hands down my favorite brewery!

 

[Rich_O]

Pour of my Single hop krush beer. Aroma starting to fade but flavour seems to be building? All lemongrass today - loving how the flavours of this are developing and changing in the keg!

 

[MaxStout]

Out on the back patio with a nice brown ale the neighbors brought us from Iowa. Our reward for house-sitting the last few days.

 

[mac_1103]

Short pour of my Sculpin Approximation in honor of National IPA Day.

 

[Rish]

Didn't know what this was so decided to try it. Seems it's a Monster energy drink with the energy left out and alcohol put in. Closest I can think of is low carbonated Zima with way too much artificial sweetener. It really sucks. First alcohol I've put down the drain in quite a while!

 

[Rish]

Alabama brewed sour with pineapple, pomegranate and lemon. Interesting combination, not too sour, pretty good. Got the taste of that other crap^^ out of my mouth!

 

[RCope]

HB Kölsch on a very rainy day. This one brewed with Omega Kölsch II. My favorite since Lallemand stopped making the dry yeast. Cheers!

I’m a newb, my wife is the pro. Apparently these were some big ones.
OT: more 60’ Dogfish Head is ~1.5 hrs from our lunch spot.
