Got a New Belgium IPA sample pack for Christmas. IPAs aren’t my favorite style by any means but I’ll drink them. This is ok.

You are a better man than me Gunga Din! I hate ipa. Too much hop, tastes like chewed up Tylenol. Mad Hatter, though, is a decent IPA.

A chewed up Tylenol? Heh, try sucking on a magnet!!

Wife and kids got the 12 pack for me. She has a terrible time remembering what I like (she hates beer so could care less). I couldn’t stand IPAs either for a long time, but have slowly started to tolerate them. I actually don’t mind these juicer NEIPA styles. @wepeeler introduced me to them with some of his HB which I really liked. They don’t seem to be as sharp and bitter and remind me of a hoppy orange juice if they’re good.

 

[Knightshade]

Don’t make this one the last to cap off your night..strong one.

Had two decent strength IPAs earlier tonite, then this one. Really enjoyed the complexity of it for maybe the first 8 oz or so...

Feel like I’m going to be hurting unless I get some serious hydration going.

[jerbrew]

Kicking off Xmas Eve with the 12 BOC Caramel Quad from @jerbrew. This is ridiculously smooth for almost 11% ABV, and the “painfully homemade” caramel is definitely present. A really good beer. I’m going to keep one of these in the back of the fridge; I‘m guessing it will age quite well.

Glad you liked it. If you ever want a challenge, try to make caramel out of sugar and DME. As expected, the DME never quite melts and it cools into a brick. But the end result was worth the 4 batches (1# each sugar and DME per batch) I had to make for this 10 gallon batch.

Condolences @PianoMan very sorry to read this. May she rest in peace.
Damn Covid.

Appreciate that. I know we'd all feel the same with each other. Was hoping to avoid a family loss for this ****. One away from being the elder family member....

Not much to do right now. Awaiting the Texas/Colorado game.

Its good stuff. I hadn't had this one before, but the wife spotted it while I was browsing for a sour to drink on NYE and she insisted. I absolutely love the nut brown ale.

 

[TwistedGray]

I have that relationship with my bio-Dad. I have a handful of pleasant memories, but there are far too many of the other ones. Regardless, this is fitting - HB Apricot Clouds from back in March(ish) of this year.

And then this thing (FotD beer - @JamesonFan )
