What are you drinking now?

First time trying this American Classic and I can hear your screams from here "What do you live under a rock?!?!"

La Fin Du Mond is moderately available to me, but I’ve yet to see this on any shelves. I’d say the closest I get is the annual Trader Joe’s Vintage Ale. Now I need to find this and try it.

Not sure why, but I’m more surprised there are Trader Joes in your area than lack of La Fin du Monde. Didnt realize they were nation wide. They were always the neighborhood hippie store in Southern Cal.

Pliny the Younger clone. Had the Elder, not the Younger. But this one is tasty.

I don’t think Russian River ever released Younger in bottles/cans until this year. Its a solid beer though

I’m a big fan of Solid Ground. Doesn't hurt they’re 20 minutes away. If those are Blackberry brambles, you’ve got your work cut out for you. May your luck be good and your gloves thick.

Tonight, I’m enjoying a Paulander Oktoberfest and some prickly pear hard seltzer thing I found at costco for the wife but is surprisingly decent.

There's a couple classics that I still have not had including this one. KBS and CBS are two others, yet I know I will like them!

They are, and boy do I know!! I have taken them to the ground twice over the years, and they grow back thicker and thicker, but I just let them go hog wild. This will be the first year I attempt and managing the size, but I am also really quite lazy about some stuff, so...

I've get a few dozen puncture wounds and scratches especially after two beers during the summer. I'm out there topless stretching into the bush for a berry.

Anyways, the worst one was pruning it one year (the city cited me for it taking over the sidewalk after neighbors complained they couldn't walk down it. (You couldn't walk down it.) Anyways, I am a good neighbor now. The thick stalks that don't produce are the issue, and I cut one really big one (probably 3/4" thick). That was apparently holding the tension of another really big one because it was like Looney Toons. I saw a branch come flying at my face, and it struck my cheek...to the point that it was stuck in the side of my face.

Worth it - I just dumped 4.5lbs of blackberry juice (I use the whatchamacallit to get the juice out of them) in a beer that I'm making with my homegrown hops. I do that each year : )

Edit: I do not wear gloves when working with it; it gave me a false sense of security. It's easier now to either use the pruners (90% of the time I do) or be selected on where you put the two fingers you are going to use to dispose of the branch.

Anyways, tomorrow should be fun. I think I'll have a beer (or two) first.

How’d it compare?

 

[camonick]

How’d it compare?

It tasted fresher but not that much different. I’m going to re-brew my Märzen this week and tap it in a more timely manner. I bottled some of the current batch to compare. I’m interested to see what the difference will be.

Starting out the morning with some CODE Oktoberfest marzen ale! Hair of the dog, right?
It's nice having a 50L keg on tap in my basement!

What an awesome looking room.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Wow! This a good brew. Tastes like BA Rasputin with a slight thicker mouthfeel. As it warms the dubbel starts to come thru. Great brew.
