What are you drinking now?

[hopfenstopfen]

Not a great pic, but a very tasty NZ pils from a localish brewery.
Guess I must be late to the good Riwaka hops train or whatever, its really nice in a pilsner.

1st post of the day & I did actually go to work today!

 

[RumOnTheDocks]

After a very busy, hectic work day this really hits the spot. Leffe Brown, really loving this beer.

 

[Rish]

Belgian wheat, an Aldi buy. Meh. Not much flavor, too much hop bitterness imho.

Blaand + cranberry juice.

 

[BeerAndTele]

HB light lager ... hoppy like a pilsner, but with some vienna and carared malt for color ... and wlp833 German Bock yeast ... turned out nice.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Nice spring evening. Time to dust off the hibachi

 

[Rish]

Really wish most of it hadn't been drunk way too young

I wonder how many times that has been said by homebrewers?! I know I have!

 

[Rish]

HB chocolate milk stout

 

[mac_1103]

HB Black IPA on the first 90 degree day of the year. Need to brew something lighter ASAP.

 

[hopfenstopfen]

Had no idea this would be out right now. Nice surprise.
I really love Wlp007.

[grampamark]

Kettlehouse White Stout. Kind of an odd one, part of a variety pack. Label says “brewed with coffee and caramel coloring”. Even I can taste the coffee so it must be pretty pronounced.

 

[j1laskey]

An old FOTD goodie!

Lurking in the back of the fridge

Today’s delve into German-style Pilsners comes to us from Enegren Brewing, Moorpark, California. Ordinarily I scoff at ugly American attempts at German-quality Pilsners, but I ‘gotta admit, this Enegren Edel-Pils is right on target. ¼” head, light yellow-gold and medium carbonation. A touch of cloudiness takes nothing away from this lager. Coming in at a hefty 35 IBU’s and featuring Saaz and Tennanger hops, this thirst quencher hides a 35 IBU well. I’d guess 25 actually, maybe it is the 4.8 ABV that keeps it in check. Dunno.

Usually I’d expect maybe Hallertau Mittlefruh in a German Pils – the Saaz surprised me, usually used more in Czech Pilsners. Great beer, I could chug a couple more, but the Saturday beer hogs sweeping the shelves at Total Wine and More only left me this one, pitiful little can. Actually, it isn’t little, coming in at a Manly 16 oz, enough of that sissy 330/380/500 ml confusion. Good old Merican Pints. Love it.

This really is a fantastic rendition of Euro Pills. Not sure if it is 1516 Reinheitsgebot compliant, but chicks and fellas this is a great stab at it. Also, perhaps the finest example of lacing I’ve seen since my wife’s 1980’s lace wedding dress. Not that I remember much of that day. I think we had beer kegs at the reception too, all I remember is waking up the next day, the next town over. Prost!

[bailey mountain brewer]

Last of the pastrami with lunch beer.

Edit: yes I dropped the can in the parking lot of the beer store like a nervous 19yr old buying beer with a fake ID Haha. Didn't effect the outcome, this beer is excellent.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

My Kwak clone now 8 months old and really smooth.

Oreo Speedwagon Nitro @ el bait shop

 

[RumOnTheDocks]

Managed to get a few of these at a discount at the local store. Not a bad light lager.

Anti hero ipa

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Procrastinating yardwork. Did a couple of errands, visited Ye Olde Treehouse (construction still coming along) and now covered in Sap.

 

[grampamark]

Short pour of HB Bullwinkle Brown (Moose Drool clone). Kegged yesterday, not quite carbed, but tastes like the real thing.

 

[Rish]

HM cantaloupe cider. I think this is the last one.

 

[RCope]

Guess where I went last weekend? HB WCIPA

 

[Rish]

Scottish strong ale. Malty, caramel, raisin, 8% abv. Very tasty.

 

[grampamark]

J J Blonde Ale

 

[SanJuanWorm]

Last pint of HB Imperial Sprucetip Porter...sigh. One of the best beers I've ever made. This was such a great XBeeriment that I will definitely make a larger batch once the leaves fall again. Cheers everyone, and Happy Friday!

 

[SanJuanWorm]

Welp, no sense dwelling on the last pint of a great HB, onto the Friday night festivus!

Admiring the dried Tangelo peel I didn't even mean to make ( ) and firing back a Leviathan RIS by local New Level Brewing. Might even add the dried peel to my upcoming Super Spring Belgian brew...hmmm. Cheers!

 

[loganklaas]

A couple of beers from LHBS while planning out my brew day tomorrow.

Agreed! It’s actually a very good! This is the second time I’ve had it. I picked up two of that kind this time.
