What are you drinking now?

[Leubega]

Little bit of a late dinner tonight but went with something light. This beer just reminds me how great Amarillo can be. If it wasn't trickling into stout season and my to-brew list wasn't so long I'd have to throw some sort of single hop pale up next

You like it?
I had it on tap a couple months ago. I really enjoyed it.

Yeah I did! I'd get another, but I have other Praries I want to try first. Mark may get a Funky Galaxy in his box...

ST 2X Stout with Sons of Anarchy

Hell yeah bro!!! I really needed this episode after last week!

I agree. Its hard to say what actually makes a triple. If you did a blind tsting of DIPA next to TIPA, it would be hard to tell the difference. I have tasted some that hit you super hard with hops. But freshness is a key.

I would venture to say that a true triple IPA is just a fresh American barleywine. Keeping the body of a DIPA and adding more hops doesn't make a triple IPA since a typical DIPA already well past the threshold for human detection.

Finishing off the 4 pack of Green Bullet.

Deep Ellum Double Brown Stout. Oatmeal Baltic Porter? It's pretty good, but light in body. Doesn't really compare to other better porters I've had recently.

 

[BassBeer]

Ska Buster Nut Brown, after work shift beer. Used to drink this in high school, still delicious!

 

[BGBC]

96 oz anyone catch the Sox tigers game? Koji hung em up

Calling it after 3/4 gallon?

Pretty much. I feel like it gets to the point where adding more hops at whirlpool or flameout or whatever you want to call it, can only add so much to the actual beer. Its lamost like it plateaus and cant get more "intense". Not sure I have ever had a beer where I said "Oh man! That is WAY over hopped!". It can get more bitter, and different shades of hops but i dont think it can be overdone. So, lets call it a triple and add more hops haha.

I am on my 2nd glass of Apfelwine. Not sure its the right choice. Might be feeling it tomorrow. At least I dont have work in the morning.

On my third one of these since I got home from work. Certainly good, but not $15 a 4 pack good. Not entirely sure why brewers started calling them triple IPAs. There's nothing in any "triple IPA" that I've tried that distinguishes it from a double IPA. I thought the IBU arms race was over. Anyway, good beer, nice New Zealand hop character, but I'd take GB or Flower Power over this any day.

I think the triple IPA is just a marketing ploy to get people to think if double is good, then triple must be better. I'd much rather have a nicely balanced IPA with great aroma than a beer that has the malt bill cranked to increase ABV and a ton of hops added just because.

Coffee ... at least last night I didn't wake up with a coughing fit so maybe this cold is finally on its way out.

 

[unionrdr]

Coffee here too. I have to get up at 5:30am to pick up my son from 2nd job. Dang chest cold went to my head. Can't wait till it's gone.

Agreed! There too many nice doubles to give way to some overbearing marketed price hiked brew! F F wild rice DIPA, Pliny, Ghondi Bot...... The list goes on

You know why I love homebrew? I drank a bit over a gallon of beer last night between my IPA, Gabes, and my neighbors crappy saison. Got nice and drunk to the point that I was slurring a bit mostly on an empty stomach without hydrating.

Wake up at 7 no headache, no fuss.

Quality ingredients+quality process= no hangover.

The liver is an evil organ and it needs to be punished.
