Trying out New Holland Beer Barrel Bourbon. The stout character is hiding in the background of the aroma, but blends well with the bourbon. I like.

I have wasted no time digging into the eMAW I got from zeptrey today. This is a pretty damn good DIPA from Rough Tail Brewing in OK. They even did us the courtesy of printing the homebrew scale recipe right on the label. How nice of them.

A few HB's from my first two AG batches, a citra PA and some freshly bottled and ready HB Ipa's. I love drinking the fruits of our "labor". Wish I had pics to post, I think you all would be proud. I'll work on that.
 
Started off with a Gueze which was pretty good

And then moved to a Stony Brook Red which even better.

Why do sour beers have to be so high in ABV? They are delicious and I love them but I just cant handle the alcohol. I'm used to drinking my session beers and this sour obsession is going to do me in. I even had to close one eye to click on my phone to bring up the pictures, I guess maybe I need to gain some weight :drunk:

That cuvee Rene is sub 5 I think. Most traditional sours are on the 5th mark. Though I like my sours more alcoholic. Mine are in the 7-9 range.
 
Possible nightcap. Dirty Bastard from the growler. It was great to get back to the Founders tap room today, the remodel is awesome.

I had wheat beer from Appalachian Brewing earlier (pretty basic, but drinkable) while I finally bottle my gallon of Pineapple-Mango Melomel. Started April 3rd. I have 10 good 12oz bottles that I'm going to put away until a year from November. So the first good bottle opened would be around a year and a half from the start of fermentation. But, I had an 11th bottle that was just 2 or 3 oz short of full, that I added some Culligan bottled water to...just to top it up a little...and I'll check it sometime in a few months. I'll keep an eye on it. A small taste was a little hot on the alcohol, but definitely getting the pineapple...maybe the mango will come out as it mellows.

Coffee #2.

Last night was fun. I heard what sounded like fighting small dogs outside and when I went to be a nosy neighbor found out my next door neighbors 21 year old son and his friends had rolled out a long strip of plastic sheeting and turned it into an improvised slip n slide. I spent the evening drinking Miller heavies and shooting the sh*t watching them have fun and bruise themselves. Then I had a perfectly grilled ribeye steak out of the freezer and a Apfelwein to cap off the night. Early to bed and no headache this morning. I think I am starting to figure out how to properly drink Apfelwein now.
 
^ how does one grill a steak perfectly from the freezer? :) serious question.

Water now coffee. Not much sleep, again.
