What are you drinking now?

[TBC]

Time for a little sunshine after all the rain the last 2 days.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Last of 3 Treehouse Xmas milk stouts. All very good and I'm not a milk stout fan. All not overly lacto or spiced. Thick and as it warms the spices warm just a tad.

Am I in the minority? I don't recognize 90%, probably much higher, of the beers here, meaning, I've never seen them or heard of them. Don't get me wrong, I like viewing them. The range and number is just baffling.

HB Strata IPA

2017 Trillium Lineage Spelt or possibly 2016. I should have marked the bottle

I think this isn’t uncommon since there are over 7,000 breweries in the USA. I’m not sure what the global number is but I find myself thinking the same as you. Then it leads me down a rabbit hole reading about the brewery or beer itself.

That's the best thing about this group no judging or snobbery. A wide diversity. I use to drink just a couple of main go to's until Untapped and this. There's still views on people that try and don't get a certain style but that's what's good about the variety of posts. It's experimentation to opening views. New England is finally getting more west coast but completely empty from the Midwest. So, I'm always curious to see what's from there. I know when I travel and see beers that are mentioned here as favs gives me a little knowledge on venturing into something new/different. Try the Schlitz!

Oh, my word!

Funny. I don't think it's a great idea!
There's a great crop of breweries here, that's for sure.

Myself, and i beleive many others, drink, and post a lot of very local stuff. 75% of the beer i buy is NC only. Part of what i enjoy about this thread is seeing whats happening in other parts of the country with beer trends at breweries ive never heard of.

13%ish HB Mead. Already bottled one for FotHB in case I get a hankering and down it all.

 

[jaymosbeershack]

Kringleberry with cranberry, orange, and cinnamon. The cinnamon is a smidge strong, but its nice.

I don’t like coffee or coconut but I like this. Go figure

Yeah, I consider myself relatively familiar with beer but I get utterly lost in the cans and the bottles. I do enjoy viewing a magically hanging pint connected to the glass. Still don't know--and don't want to know because it'll spoil the fun--how they do it.

Goofy glassware and an even goofier movie!.

I guess I was hoping that was the case. Seeing what's happening around the country is great. From what I've gathered recently from responses as far as number of breweries, there's no way I could keep up with everything.

Packing up some HB to ship down to RVA for Xmas. Still need to bottle 3 more tomorrow

Thanks! You ruined my surprise. Now I know my Secret Santa’s identity

Makes me miss Tin Man apricot sour. Great beer out of Evansville, IN but they went out of business. From what I heard, the owner won the lottery (literally) and opened a brewery with the money. Didn’t last though.... some of their beer was good but the apricot sour was fantastic!

Was that Damascene? I had that a few times and really liked it.

I’ve got 9 from my advent calendar in the fridge right now and hope to catch up soon.

I did like that one - and have liked all the ones I’ve had so far.

HB No Boil NEIPA.

Definitely not in the minority. This thread is refreshing as it reminds me that there are more breweries out there than Other Half, Tree House, Trillium, etc.

There's so many top notch breweries around me here in NC that I don't even really care that much if I ever get to try any of those others.

Wife gave me her glass and said she wanted one of mine instead.

 

[Dgallo]

I want to be there.

Def a great spot. They're a touch pricy but they get their hands on beers you can’t find too often.
