Today I’m breaking away from my diet and indulging in a couple California classics – A Double-Double Cheeseburger with grilled onions from IN-N-OUT and a delicious and traditional Atomic Torpedo 9.2% IPA from Sierra Nevada!

California’s favorite carnivorous indulgence is soon to be Tennessee’s favorite son too, but that’s another story! Today’s IPA is in the form of a blender using my go-to mixer, Budweiser Zero. When you are dieting, sometimes all you can think about is MEAT! Guilty as charged!

I was impressed by the marketing folks from one of the other burger companies. They were trying to move people from Single Hamburger sales up to Double Hamburgers. A great way to push up profits a few points! So how did they do it? By introducing TRIPLE-decker Hamburgers! Human buying tendencies are hilarious – Given a choice between a Single, a Double and a Triple-decker Hamburger, all of a sudden the “Double” seemed like a more reasonable choice! Directing buyers to Double Burgers by offering the gluttonous Triple. Sheer genius!

I still have much of the box of IPAs left, thankfully - will continue drinking these. A half-rack of IPAs, what a great idea!

I’m at my Canadian “other” home right now, getting ready to close up and head back to the States. Had to chuckle when I saw this. Up here a Double Double is brewed coffee with 2 creams and 2 sugars. Yours looks much better LOL
 
Sounds great! Reminds me of Mexican Cake (one of my all time favorites) brewed by Westbrook but bigger. Hope I can get set up to brew at this new house soon and brew my attempt at the MC clone again.
I've done multiple versions of Cigar city Hanahpu. Hopefully a great winter beer! Good luck to you and post!

This is pretty good.

Enjoying the cooler, fall like temperatures this week.
Been thinking about @grampamark after learning about his health issues a few months back. I hope everything is ok in Big Sky Country.

Yeah I always enjoyed his contributions here, hope all is well up there.
 
More lemon water, because we’re having a 30°C (86 F) heatwave!🥵 Just getting our summer heat now after a cool, rainy couple of months. I’m craving a sour ( or 6! ) but only a couple days to wait.

Finished the first stage of ‘Moto’ with my Sakè, and now it’s time for the first rest at 8°C (46.4 F) for 3 more days. I was very excited to see the bubbler starting to come alive after the first day in the fridge. It’s blooping every couple of seconds. Seems this yeast enjoys a bit of cold. Wow!🤯

Do you brew small batches? You seem to have a plentiful amount of different styles every week.
Mostly 5 gallons. I'm the only one drinking them so they last a while. Supplies are dwindling now so I need to get set up to brew at this new house soon! I'll be down to cider if I don't, not that there's anything wrong with that. 🍻
