What are you drinking now?

[Qhrumphf]

Hit me a couple bottle shops today. Payday plus raise means shopping spree.

Starting off the evening with a double pour of my Mild.

Then these guys all waiting for me: Hanssen's Artisanaal Oude Gueuze and Oudbeitje Lambic, Oude Beersel Oude Kriek, Robinson's The Trooper (turns out is IS available in VA after all), 1809 Berliner (again, turns out I can still get it in VA, I was worried it was no longer available without having to go to DC or MD), Stone RuinTen (haven't tried it yet), Blue Mountain Steel Wheels ESB (semi-homer beer), a 6er of Port City Derecho Common (homer beer), and then a 12 bottle wine box full of my dear Coniston Bluebird Bitter.

If you don't hear from me for the rest of the night, check with Arlington County PD. Might be naked in the drunk tank

That moment when you realize you don't have a wine opener and you have a bottle of cantillon chilled and in your hands oh well this will do just fine!

How is the Berliner? Love the style.

Steel Wheels was pretty darn good.

Found this last bottle in the cellar of a DIPA I brewed months ago. Had a little more carb than expected.

It's not a common rendition of the style (stronger, and tastes to me like it was fermented with a Weizen yeast rather than a clean strain), but it's damned good. It's one of my favorites. Rick's over on Duke St. in Alexandria used to be my normal spot for it until they closed. But hadn't seen it anywhere else in VA for a long time until today. Planet Wine in Del Ray. I thought they'd stopped distributing here. It's easy to get in DC and MD.

3rd double trouble while watching my nephew and niece. They're driving me nuts...as are my kids...

Another borboun night. Babying my back, grilling up a steak and am searching through AP/Netflix looking for something to watch.

Just went head to head with my cascade pale vs Deschutes. Again I need a bright tank. 😡

Hi Nelson, while bottling a sixer of RIS that didn't fit in the 5 gallon carboy, how did that happen? At 10% it should be nice down the road, dammed tasty already. The carboy will go in a shorty keg and bottle the rest.

 

[finsfan]

IPL collab with Ballast point. Hops taste similar to sculpin so this one is a winner! From all the negativity i heard about the beer camp mixer, this one starts to quiet the critics. Very good especially at 8.5%.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Hb rye pale ale.

Thanks. In old town for work daily, will have to check out Del Ray.

Had a three year old honey amber HB, held up pretty well. An overcarbed patersbier was next, and now on to this pallet cleanser.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Not bad. Definitely more of an "American" styled ESB than a traditional Bitter. It's also a little old ("best by" on the bottom was a couple months ago). I suppose I'd have to try a fresh one, but not something I'd actively seek out again.

Grilling in the rain sucks but the steak was perfect. Lets have another Bourbon shall we? Same pic as my previous post. Corrected spelling of bourbon. I always forget where to put the U.

Drinking the gravity sample of the RIS, may continue the trend.

It's good for a stupidly hopped beer I'm gonna have a hard time finishing it but I'm enjoying it so far. I can definitely see the appeal for many of you.

 

[ChefRex]

A bourbon breakfast stout from FermentiNGthinG, very nicely done, I hope mine is half as good,

Chico king pale collab with 3floyds. This one is just alright and is the oldest is the pack at two months today.

That's bloody awesome if I say so myself.

That is a great shot. Durn good beer too. You one of those foto-graphey people or something?

I have a nice warm bourbon belly going right now. Think I am going to call it an early night. The week is almost half over and I really want to try to sneak in a brew evening before I take a week off for the beach. I also have to stop by the bottle shop and see what I can find to take with me.

Grilling in the absurdly nice weather.

I've seen this around for a while, but have been hesitant to pay the nearly $30 I see it priced at. Is it worth it?

Still working on the last of the Stone RuinTen. The first half of the bottle was great. But like I figured, I'm over the hops already and having a hard time finishing the second half.

I dry hopped with simcoe and perle. Not sure about that combo but thats half the fun! The boil was a shot it in the dark as well; cluster, simcoe, caliente, millennium, nugget and willamette, but the conan half turned out great and was dry hopped with simcoe and cluster

I don't understand why someone would do this on purpose. I understand that when resources are scarce you use what's available, but why would you do this on purpose???

Meanwhile, this. When I first tried it, I wasn't impressed, but it was also a fairly old bottle. Since then I've had a few fresh bottles, and this is a damned good pint. Much more my style than that RuinTen.

I'd have a hard time saying any beer is worth that. I was lucky enough to find it discounted to $18 so I bought one and liked it enough to want more.

Went back the following week and it was $13 so I bought the remaining 8.

To me it's worth $18, and at $13 it's a steal

Having another Modus Hoperandi, still grilling.

Off topic, but just wondering:

I bought a 6 gallon Better Bottle today. I haven't opened the box and have no experience with them (I've only used glass). Do I need a different bung? I use the universal bungs in my glass carboys.
My LHBS was selling it for $24.99, so I figured I'd give it a go.
