The ones that recently torqued me the most go into great lengths describing something that never actually existed but apparently warrants its own brew 
What are you drinking now?

This guy and his wife sell at a nearby winery's summer open house. He's made some real progress in the past year.

For sure. Him and his little petite self lol. Unfortunately I watched a lot of it, my brewing buddy of my Dave, won their ipa competitionUhh… you’ve heard Nate speak on their YouTube channel, right?
I really enjoyed the 1st trip to NZ & the old brew kit videos! Cool about your brewing friend! Sounds like you have a nice community in your area.
Petite! He comes off a tad exercise conscious. Just missed seeing him in person at Tewksbury last summer. I think we are a similar size plus my beer belly.

Beer at reading terminal market, philly. Awaiting concert.
Relaxing on a warm, humid day--tolerable, could be worse. Getting some hydration.
HM cider. Found some of my previous batch. 9 months in the bottle. Tasty.
HB Raspberry Hard Lemonade. 12 days in the keg. I like the color, just waiting for it to clear up. I’m hoping in another couple weeks that it’ll be “show ready” for when we have family over.
Next up is the new gazebo. Although it looks like it’s from IKEA based on the number of pieces that goes together with pictures for instructions.
Aldi wheat beer brewed with tangerine peel. Not bad.

Victoria is my favorite go-to Vienna Lager. In fact it’s darn near everyone’s go-to Vienna because there’s so few of them left out there! Vienna, Austria… nah! Hello Modelo, Nava, Mexico!
One great thing about some of these Lagers is the sheer drinkability of them. I was reading about the difficulties that many of the small, local breweries, primarily trying to eke out a business and living selling small batch specialty brews. The upshot was you need to be able to sell a second, a third and a fourth pint of brew to the masses – it should be drinkable and something you want a bunch of, or that was the thinking. Specialty brews are terrific and everything, but how do you pay the mortgage just selling a one at a time to a bunch of promiscuous drinkers looking for beer variety? !!!!
Anyway, this is a terrific Lager, very drinkable and repeatable! You could spend the evening with 6 of these in front of the tube (darn, another Boomer slip) eating your 7-layer dip and tortilla chips!

If only there were away to buy a new co, uh, one. Buy a new one.

Looks delicious. Would you mind sharing your hop schedule?
Doing a side by side of a the locally produced Kölsch that got me in to the style. Claritas, by Hess brewing vs my Kölsch. Mine is on the right. Tentatively named… Max Kölsch. Not to be confused with Max Stout. 
My ladies name is Maxine.

Soitenly - here's the whole recipe! This is actually the "session-ish" version of my original DIPA recipe, going from 8.5% down to just over 5%, but I didn't change the hop rate at all (I love Citra!
)Cheers!
My raspberry hibiscus wheat beer...

...followed by my bedtime snack - a short 11% chocolate stout...

A few beers while waiting in the merch line, what a show.
At my favorite local brewpub Stiggs in Boyne City, MI. A gone west coast IPA that was excellent!
