What are you drinking now?

[W7JRR]

Pale ale keeps getting better. Flavor rounding out, carbonation is just about right, and getting clearer each day.

 

[Scottyward]

Is that a pork rib?

Yes sir

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Coffee.

Now I realized what that feeling of forgetting something was: the Big Mug

We have our OBX trip at the end of the month. Corolla. So many kids. So many beers

We go to Avon, this was the first year in a while that adults outnumbered the kids, still plenty of kids and plenty of beers and other beverages.
Cheers!

South Lake Brewery now. Nice WCIPA Collab with a brewery in Reno and a tasty/smooth Imperial Stout.

I have an almost flat Bell's 2-Hearted clone in the mug. The valve just went bad and leaked out the CO2 from the keg. Fortunately the CO2 was turned off because I was out of town (I always do that as a precaution when going away for a while), so I only lost what was in the keg, not the tank. But now I have to rebuild that poppet valve before I can use it again.

A not bad Aldi buy.

What was your ratio of pounds of fruit to gallons of beer, and when did you add the cantaloupe? That's a good spelling bee word!

I juiced enough cantaloupe to get one gallon. I added that juice to 4 gallons of beer after it had been in the fermenter for 3 days. Maybe 1.5 gallons to 3.5 next time.

 

[grampamark]

HB Altbier in a glass suitable for the garage.

Roughing it. Streaming Celtics game and buffalo jerky from vet rancher. Down a dirt road from fishing. Beautiful

Yea. Forecast was for rain and thunder.

 

[Section1]

Homebrew stout from @pshankstar tonight. This is excellent. The bourbon oak comes through nicely as well as the chocolate and coffee flavors. Very good beer and very well done.

 

[Section1]

Grill beer, Homebrew Schwarzbier. Not sure if I even needed to light the grill since it's so hot today.

 

[camonick]

A @fourfarthing HB APA called Lola. This is excellent and actually tastes similar to some NEIPAs I’ve had.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

South Lake Oak Pale. Then the... But after, a very good Tropical Fruit Sour. Sour is light but flavor is big.

We used to vacation in Corolla for 3 or 4 years in a row, back in the early 90's when they were still developing the area. I can't begin to imagine how much it's changed since then.

While the OBX is obviously much more well known for its beaches, the breweries not so much. But if you have the chance to travel south from Corolla to kill devil hills, Swells'a Brewing is a solid brewery IMHO. IPAs are solid, but not over the top. They have a really nice range of styles that I enjoyed though. The other OBX breweries that Ive been to are just "ok" and seemingly cater to the tourist industry which is code for "tourists will buy any beer because they are on vacation anyways". Most OBX breweries seem to have 1-2 beers that I like a good bit and all the others are just "ok". Swells'a though is worth seeking out if you are near.

A good rule of thumb is 1lb of fruit (remove the rind) per 1gal of beer, but I'd say with a cantaloupe, I'd go +1.5lbs because the flavor is subtle.
