What are you drinking now?

[finsfan]

First bourbon county brew.

My Red IPA. I figured out why I loved it, it reminds me of Alesmiths My Bloody Valentine- last year. I was a little less inspired with Alesmiths this year for some reason though yet it was still good. I think I need to make it my house brew from now on- favorate style-Im certain of now. Recycled pic, too lazy to post my balloon snifter glass view. Actual color is more of a copper orange than this pic. My camera cheated on making it more of a red ipa. Yet it tastes more of what I like and I want out of a red ipa.

Odd side Mayan BA stout. Interesting for sure. Cinnamon and nutmeg stand out. Not much carb. Not much heat. See as it warms.

From the Squatters website:
"...three varieties of hops, then, because we can't help ourselves, we dry-hop it; resulting in an amazing two pounds of hops per barrel! "

2 lbs / barrel is not that crazy is it, esp including dry hopping? Like 5 oz in a 5 gal batch?

Haha! Not crazy at all. I used 19 oz in my last DIPA. 6.5 gallon batch.

Speaking of cooking, you got any good venison neck roast recipes Wes? Thinking of doing one tomorrow

I usually just wing it when I do roasts and never write anything down. But there are basically two ways I like to do venison roasts. Both involve a crock pot. First way is put the roast and all the veggies you like in there. I usually put carrots, potatoes, onion, bell pepper, tomatoes, green chiles. Also some chicken broth and an envelope of onion soup mix and whatever seasonings I decide to put in at the time. Cook until meat falls apart.
The second way is with dried chiles. I'll roast a few chile pods (guajillo or ancho). Cut them in half and scrape out the seeds. Then add to a few cups of boiling water, take off heat and cover. Let sit for 30-60 minutes. Scrape the flesh out of the skin and add that with the water to the crock pot with some bouillon, onion, tomato sauce, and the meat. Add salt, pepper, chile powder, garlic and comino to taste. Once the meat is tender, add flour or a cornstarch slurry to thicken up. Then serve over rice or mashed potatoes. Hope this helps.

The first is close to what I had planned but liking the second one, I have some dried pasillas and anchos handy. Thanks

Had a graham cracker ale before going to see the tax man, and now drinking my second hb hoppy whatever ale while dreaming about what brew related supplies I'll be buying with my return.

 

[RFBrewer]

One of my favorites here in TX.

If you have some chiles handy, definitely include them in whatever you decide to do with the roast. I love the flavor ancho chiles give to sauces/broths.

I have only had theri Monument IPA and was terribly underwhelmed by it, which ones do you suggest? Or should I just go by their restaurant/taproom and try em all?

Yeah yeah yeah, this is from 20+ pages back, I know...

Their Monumental IPA is my least favorite. Their Optimal Wit is good, Downright Pilsner is good, and their Porter is fantastic. But I like their seasonals. I think their Oktoberfest and their Tartan Ale are awesome. I normally like Tidings, but it was underwhelming this year. The anniversary releases are good too. Derecho Common is better now that they did it on purpose. Their Maniacal IIPA was impressive (my hopes weren't high though).

So yeah. The one you got was my least fav. I'd go try the rest.

Meanwhile, I've had a couple more of their Essential Pale Ales tonight, along with my Dusseldorf Alt and MO/EKG SMaSH.

Poked into the cooler and this homebrew-style cap called my name. Only bottle I could see in the cooler, no barcode, haggled a price with the bartender.

Thunder Kiss, a mildly saur bourbon barrel aged dunkel by New Braunfels Brewing Co. Seems like a relatively new nano maybe? Not much info out there.

Took it to go and gotta say it's pretty great. Excellent nightcap. Sour, funky, roasty, and can taste the bourbon.

Will be going back to that place to see if they have any more hiding somewhere.

Lagunitas Undercover Investigation Shut-down. It's been sitting in my keezer for a while, so I wanted to pop it open.

 

[tripplehazzard]

Boulevard dark truth stout. Probably one of my favorite stouts.

If you mean going to the brewery, even if thats a bust New Braunfels is a fantastic place full of ridiculous German food.....and beer.

Well, I meant going back to the bar where I found this one random bottle, but New Braunfels does look to be an interesting little German enclave...

This bottle has a blank "Bottle # __/__" on the back, but saw one on Untappd that was #23/100, so I doubt I'll be able to find another one.

Ah gotcha. Well nice find then. And if you do get the chance to roll by do some web research, like I say its a wonderful place to spend a day.

Ahh, New Braunfels. Camped there and floated down the Guadeloupe river more times than I can count. Love that area. There's a neat little winery not far from there called Dry Comal Creek. Worth a visit for anyone visiting the area.
