What are you drinking now?

[MrNic]

Picked all these up today. Never had any of them before. I feel like I did pretty good for 60 bucks.

I've had a few and you did real good!

Mmmm parabola

 

[Nunner]

Ruinination is one of the beers that introduced me to real beer

 

[LoloMT7]

Home early from camping trip... This is a great APA.

 

[BGBC]

Drinking the leftovers after bottling my Coffee Bender clone. Haven't had the original, but this one tastes pretty darn good!

Also sampled my barleywine which has been sitting on rum soaked oak cubes for 2 weeks. It's good, but I think I'll leave it for another 1-2 weeks.

Also enjoying the cacao nibs from said Coffee Bender over some greek yogurt.

It is tasty. I got a 6 pack for $3.99 at a local store. Can't beat that price!

 

[Cyclman]

My Belgian Dubbel, only four bombers left. Happy it is SO awesome, sad to have so little left.

 

[BGBC]

Weyerbacher Double Simcoe. Love that sweet onion.

 

[jerryteague]

Having a Modelo after a brutal work out (training for the Tough Mudder in September). I'm gonna try to cut way back on my beer intake for a while (I want to drop about 30 or 40 pounds before the Mudder). Off to bed now, so I can go for a 3 mile run in the morning, and maybe work on my chest and triceps before work tomorrow (if I can even walk after today's work out)...

Good luck with your training! I recently signed up for Tough Mudder in October. I need to have races on the calendar as motivation.

Which one are you going to? I think ours is in Kansas City. It'll definately be a good time. I'm bringing a keg of cream ale for our team's after party.
Having another Modelo (what can I say, it's good to drink something similar to water, once in a while)...

We're doing the Tri-state one, in NJ. At least three people on our team are homebrewers, but I don't think anyone kegs yet. I'm sure we'll figure something out tho, haha.

Its a decent Vienna, pretty far from water like I think

 

[Aschecte]

My Smokehaus brown ale...... I'm pretty proud of this one as I smoked my own grains for this.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Last of the bottling remnants from my Smoked Porters. This one's 1 Jalapeno, 1 Serrano, 1 Habanero AND 1/2 Bhut Jolokia in 1 gallon. Not as hot as I expected, but still not for the timid.

Results across the board were surprising. Previous ones were 2 Jalapenos in 1 gallon (hotter than expected), 2 Serranos in 1 gallon (much milder than expected), 1 Habanero in 1 gallon (about what I expected) and 1/2 Bhut Jolokia in 1 gallon (milder than I expected).

Nice! You're gonna have fun with that one. One of my teammates finished the one in Ohio, and is acting as an advisor for the rest of our team for the next one in KC. It's gonna be a blast, for sure.
I'm sure bottles will work just as good as kegs just think of all the empty's you can bring back for another brew day...

 

[jerbrew]

hydrometer reading from a IIPA I just bottled

 

[Whut]

Red Chair NWPA from Deschutes. Great beer! :rockin:

I would normally agree, but after drinking 8% IIPA for the past few days, it definitely seems water-like to me. Thankfully, I didn't have to buy Corona, or BL. I'd drink real water before that (ok, well maybe not, but I probably would at least seriously think about it for a minute).

 

[JesperX]

Just finished a Sierra Nevada Southern Hemisphere Harvest before throwing tomorrow's lunch in the smoker.

Nice, we're all first-timers, but I do know a couple people who are event planners for TM, so I might get some insider tips from them.

And drinking my Evil Twin now.

Ah, the old blown palate syndrome. I know it well!

 

[matt08wrx]

Elysian Space Dust IPA and Anderson Valley.Bourbon Porter.

 

[jerryteague]

Yep. Completely blown, but in a good way. The down side is, I'm craving another one, and I'm 200 miles from home...

 

[Channel66]

At the bar with some old friends. Throwing down some smuttynose brown. served ice cold. Why offer great beer if you are going to serve them at the wrong temperature? Now that it's warmed up some it's delicious.

 

[tyzippers]

Thats the spirit! Drink it and let me know if you want some more! Promise I wont charge to too much more for being a Pittsburgh fan. (Born in Philly)

Haha!! You're such a kind Philly fan! It's all good Nunner. I think that for the sake of great beer, we can find a way to get along!! I know for a fact that ill want more, question is, what in the world could I get that would be worth the Wook (or maybe a Parabola)? This is the real question. I found out that the reason I was able to find FW in the burgh is because the bottle shop went to Philly and bought a bunch of the stuff that somehow is exclusively distributed in Philly only, like RR, Bruery, Lost Abbey, Jolly Pumpkin, FW... messed up if you ask me.

Yeah, Philly gets a strong selection passing through here thanks to the owner of Origlio (the area's largest distributor). The beer variety in Philly helped soften the blow when I moved here from Southern California 5 years ago...but not really.

Thing that irritates me is that the breweries get tricked into signing exclusive distribution rights, so now, Philly is the only place in PA most good stuff is distributed. This makes me not a happy camper.

For as good as the selection is here in Philly I moved here from San Diego...so I'm not a happy camper, either (and that's not just because of the beers I left behind). At least you still have Helltown, right? Idle Hands is a pretty good IIPA.
