HM blackcurrant wine. Nice little bit of sweetness to follow the sour beer I had earlier.

Latest experiment on the zen of brewing. I am trying to kaizan the brewing process and strip it down to its essential elements. This is a "Big Basin Amber Ale" that I bottled in a Sam Adams bottle. I stopped making labels and indicate the contents by the color of the cap (same cost regardless of color) or mark the cap with a sharpie. After that I even stopped soaking off labels. I just rinse the bottle out after I drink it (2-3 times and swirl a bottle brush around in there), stack it on the bottle tree until ready to bottle. Then I hit it with star san (bottle and cap) paying close attention to the area of the bottle the cap seals on.
Got some baseball steaks for dinner. With 19 Crimes Shiraz. Got #16 - stealing a shroud out of a grave. (There were 19 crimes you could be sent to Australia for.)

Is that Marie Kondo?
I had no idea who that was and had to google it. Nope, not Marie Kondo (but I would like to let her loose in my sock drawer) and walk in closet.
The backstory on that is I bought it at a yard sale and recognized it as a possible old Pre WWII Chinese cigarette advertisement. The script looks old Chinese or Taiwanese (pre Communist China). Check out the cylinder of cigarettes on the bench to the left of the lady. I'm thinking the script (in red across the top) may have something to with cigarettes? although the last symbol (rectangle with a line through the middle) is the symbol for China (pronounced Zhong). There is a long story behind that symbol . I speak a little tiny bit of mandarin Chinese and read even less.

I thought the Kaizan thing was her but its not. She had a tv show where does organization by having you hold onto things to see if they bring you joy.
That looks great!! I was just looking at this recipe last night, was that the one you brewed?

Just slammed a clam, and now a stout. Haven’t had one in a wee while, so this is a treat. Don’t feel 53, but I guess I am. Cheers folks!!

Slamming another clam, apparently this one has the works. Don’t worry, I won’t mix them, that would be gross. Cheers!!

Okay, having a NEIPA. Like I said before, thank goodness for local breweries, Railyard is a great one.
Some rain this morning, it let up around 10, so went for a hike. Then a lunch of tacos.
After that, went into town to the local brewery. Had a nice Marzen. The tap for that beer was wonky, so the bartender handed me a can they just packaged that day.

Passion fruit, orange, guava IPA brewed in Athens, GA. Tropical fruit but not too much, moderate bitterness than is long on the finish, 6.5%. Another IPA that I find pretty drinkable.
HM Chinese rice wine.
It’s Taco Tuesday. What better opportunity to soak up some fine Mexican Lager than Taco Tuesday! Pacifico is one of the best too!
One thing I learned by drinking nearly every Mexican brew in sight was the high uniformity found between Mexican beer brands. Almost universally, they feature a lowish ABV (Pacifico at 4.4% ABV,) just absolute crystal clarity and relatively similar flavor between many of them. Pacifico was one of my favs – along with Modelo of course!

Not this time, its the recipe on AHA, My first time brewing it, brewed exactly as written.
I feel it could be be a touch more bitter to better balance the malt character, so next time ill add a 60min addition to for 15 IBU's.
I've brewed the one you referenced before though and from memory it was a good beer too.
Sticking with the light beer theme tonight...
A nice altbier, altoria's secret
