And a lovely dark mild. At this point I'm just scrounging through the depths of the fridge for any lost and forgotten goodies.
Bargain bin beer gave me a chance to try this IPA (a style I'm usually not excited about but try occasionally). Brewed up in Atlanta, pomegranate, orange and guava, 6.5%. Fruitiness and bitterness are there but not too much of either. Pretty good.

Trying something entirely different. I have not been able to brew all summer. The weather and other factors have created a huge problem with flies this year. Since I brew just inside the rollup door of my shop, it has just been no go.
However I did keep a few carboys of various wines and such going inside. Back in the late spring, I made a ginger beer. I have not done that in a long time and it turned out great in our Moscow Mules. On a whim, I poured 3 gallons of apple juice onto the ginger beer yeast cake. I had used a fresh pack of S-04 for the ginger beer. Note: the grated ginger had settled to the bottom and was in with the yeast.
Yesterday, the last of my Kölsch kicked and I am out.
But, in the back of the kegerator, behind the Kölsch I had the apple/ginger cider carbed up and ready to go. I had no idea how this was going to taste. When I kegged it, I was not too impressed, but it was room temperature, green, and flat. Now that it’s been sitting in the kegerator for a month or so and carbed up, it’s not too bad. It’s something I might consider doing again. I do think it needs a little higher carbonation level, but is decent as is.
And yes, the ginger flavor is there, but modestly so. Nothing like in a ginger beer.

Carbonation check on my new Pilsner… still a little early.

Then home brew club night. The ciders I made three years ago are drinking really nice too! Woohoo!
Out on the deck with a HB malt liquor.
How were the Veil collabs? Had considered shipping them.
My wife bought some of these, thinking she'd like them. She didn't. I didn't either. A little hard to choke these down. But I thought they could be doctored a bit. If I add some tequila and a splash of lime juice, it's not bad. Basically, a high-priced margarita mix with a little fizz.
Tasty trippel
Sierra Nevada has this great Torpedo IPA Pack out there, what a great idea!
Reality is, I have to keep my head together right now, so I’m diluting back their 6% ABV Phantom Torpedo IPA with my favorite blending mixer, Budweiser Zero. Maybe a bigger one this weekend.
This is still a great IPA, even cut back! Blenders are A-OK! Now we know why all those hop truckloads are heading to Chico!

Day off Friday and some good golfing. Sip of Sunshine on the course. Improvising with the double oak. I actually like the small batch better but expanding horizons
