What are you drinking now?

Coffee… please forgive the crock shot.

Brunch...with some Vitamin Sea

I'm not a fan of crazy adjuncts or milk stouts. This is my first vsb big stout. I usually stay away from them due to their descriptions.

If you were to tell me condition with vanilla, choc and cinn? I'd say spot on. Pretty good.

Company We Keep.

We took our base stout recipe and conditioned it on Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Stroopwafels, cacao nib, vanilla bean, marshmallow and cinnamon.

Congratulations.
I just got my results back from the annual homebrew competition at The Brew Hut in Aurora, CO today. My Schwarzbier got a first place gold in its category and a second place silver in the Best of Show.
Drinking a HB NEIPA now.

Another excellent beer from @WhoDatDad78 from the LOT thread... this one is a perfect beer for an early brew day. Takes me back to about 10 years ago when I had my first berliner it was during philly beer week and I was sitting at the now defunct nodding head brewpub, feeling the effects of the day before, had their berliner with splash of orange juice for a hair of the dog special.

That was a nice change up. Very juicy.

Also, shameless plug if anyone wants to swap beer cross-country that you may not otherwise get yer mitts on.

So my wife accidentally let her awesomeness shine through this morning. I got a pretty early start on a brew day. I mentioned out loud that "the only thing that is bad about starting a brew day early is that I have a hard time justifying having a beer this early". She said "then you need to design a breakfast beer made for brew days that start this early".

To keep this post on topic, towards the latter half of my Brew Day, I had a home-brewed Amber ale.

no steak dinner is complete without a starter martini

Classic gin, painfully dry means if there is even a open bottle of vermouth in the county, that's too much vermouth
View attachment 748107

Disagree! I do 0.5 oz Dolin, 2oz gin, 0.5 oz meltwater from the ice stir and 2 dashes orange bitters w a lemon twist

 

[BrewinInPA]

Server asked if I wanted a classic garnish or maybe bleu cheese in my olive & he must have guessed my answer by the puzzled look I gave him like... "do I LOOK millennial?"

Blue cheese can be good with a savory gin like beefeaters or Hendricks

Me too! You would also love NO brewing Blackened Voodoo if you can find it... that was the first shwartzbier I ever had before I even knew thats what it was.

Thank you sir. That was the last bottle in existence.

"Wet" Dry Martini with a local Philly gin, orange bitters and a lemon twist... delightful!

Interesting. Three years ago, Aug '18, I was up there and they had haze and "haze with peach" on tap. The peach added atop the haze was great. Now it seems they just decided to run with it and can it.

Another one from @WhoDatDad78 on LOT thread, hopefully he'll get some heading his way soon, put a nice pack together for me. Really enjoyed this one.

We finished Lucifer. Decent enough, ending wasn’t the worst, unlike some other shows.
(Looking at you, Game of Thrones)

We’re on to the Sopranos, deep into season3. Can’t believe I never watched this before. Just great.

Yup. That's what they're doing. I like it because it's Haze but with peach. Not puree either.

I always recommend people to look for the one offs on the menu if they're going and having a pour. And I always strongly recommend the stout one offs. They'll blow you're mind away. I have had some one off IPA clunkers

They are restricting it usually to one can pp.

OT: Julius with passion fruit

My reward after yard work. The new place is about 10x the yard of the old place and the previous owners did zilch after the offer was accepted. I have about 20% of my goal attained, and my next days off are forecasted freezing. So, see you in spring, leaves and whatever the hell is planted behind the garage.

Man I wonder some times how things come about... I had the luxury of pulling the carb off my buddies 400z a couple weeks ago. Thing ran like garbage, the fuel was so yellow I couldn't believe how bad it was. All cleaned up and running great, btw I hate carburetors..

Carbs are great, u just gotta run em dry...although I will say, I vastly prefer float bowl carbs to diaphragm style...way less to go wrong. That includes the old Briggs diaphragm ones, I hated them too!
