Visited a lot of breweries on vacation. Resisted buying any glasses until the final leg home. Such a good brewery and Italian pilsner on draft, had to get the glass. I get home and find the limited release at the country store
I talked with this guy before leaving Hill Farmstead and starting his own brewery. The amaro neat is very sumac. Throwing it in the pilsner it gets herbal and more rose petals. Nice aperitif. Shockingly this is shipping free to Massachusetts and I believe everyone else. He's might white whale. Very interesting ingredients in his brews. Have yet to try one

I am done with my noggin for the day so...
Two 7+% WCIPAs while I begin the two day process of making Carnitas. Probably should have shot the cans, but I was busy rubbing and smoking my meat. After this, the butt goes into a roasting pan with wine, cactus juice, onions, garlic, herbs and spices; overnight in a 170F oven. Chill for a day, scrape off the fat cap, and reheat. There will be TACOS!
HB Mosaic Blonde
I was drinking one at exactly the same time, so...

Hahaha that’s funny. It really was great. I would drink a bunch of those on a fall Sunday while watching a fire. Great beerI was drinking one at exactly the same time, so...
A mild, on the left, that I kegged on Monday and its sister ale, a Northern brown, that I kegged on Friday. Both are new recipes. The mild needs some work—may need to bust out the Sinamar. The brown is nice enough.
Sorry about the dirty glass. It’s normally used as a water glass, so I don’t keep it beer clean.

Peach wheat ale. Nice peach aroma and flavor, not too much. Tasty.
I always smile whenever I see a peach of strawberry beer. Back in the olden days of yore it was common knowledge that mild, sweet fruits like peach and strawberry were completely unsuitable for brewing because they simply refused to show up in the finished beer.
It blows me away that brewers have cracked that code. We've come so, so far!
Scottish ale. Pretty tasty.
Altamont Beer Works, Juice Above the Clouds Double IPA.
Damn. These go down easy.
Treehouse maple barrel bourbon with Parkers Maple Barn sour.
If you're ever travelling thru southern NH hit up Parkers for breakfast. You'll leave in a food coma
OT: bottle dead

Well, tis the Beer Season, so I bring hither the latest annual Oktoberfest beverage, Sierra Nevada’s Festbier. Actually, the great thing about Sierra Nevada is that each year, they partner with a different German Brewery to develop a new Oktoberfest offering. So, If you like this, take notes, it will be different next year. This year’s partner brewery is Kehrwieder Kreativbrauerei out of Hamburg, Germany. I’d prefer a Munich or Bavarian brewery for this exercise, but glad to have them either way.
This year’s collaboration Festbier is a beautiful orange color, ¼” head, minimal lacing. This 6.0 ABV chugger is a touch sweet on the front end like a Kolsch, in fact the entire presentation is a little fruitier to me than other Festbier lagers that you might encounter, Paulaner being the benchmark to compare against. Perfectly gluggable, this is a great interpretation on the style, but not a copy. Maybe a touch more Munich or higher temp mash used. Not sure.
Sadly, to get to that glugging point you need nearly 3 of these babyish, thumb-sucking, wimpified, 3-gulp 12 ounce cans to fill your Oktoberfest Bierkrug! Lächerlich !!! Bring on the big cans! Great beer. Buy at least 3!

Hb less then hazy ipa while making the second step of a starter for this weekends brew, 15gallon of RIS aiming for 12% to be combined with the same beers from other brewers in my hb club going into a 55gallon barrel after fermentation is done.
Oktoberfest
Small kolsch
120 shilling Scotch ale 9% ABV shared with hubby.
Morgan Territory Brewing, Motor Boatin' IPA.

Not going to try and play catch up, so here's to Albuquerque - Nexus Brewery
Back to my room and the Denogginizer.
Are those pics in order Hoppy? The Kolsch looks like it might have been last.
Potato tacos waiting to fry, carnitas finishing in the oven; it’s a really good Thursday.
Earlier today at Humdinger Brewing, Fall Crusher, a Märzen.
A second pint of mild, in a better vessel with more complementary lighting. It’s a 1.038 beer that wears husky boy pants. It would benefit from half as much 50/60 and amber. Four ounces of each is plenty.
I’ll try some additional gas and see what that does, it might sharpen it up a bit.

And we just got back from a trip to Oaxaca...
mole tamal - so good
Some "fancy" overpriced restaurant (and beer)
A few six-packs of these on the beach
Atoles at the atole-eria
Oaxaca Brewing Company (tried everything non-hoppy)
Located on top of the Atole-eria is a cocktail bar (and they have food, I think). Lots of different presentations of mezcal cocktails.
Aqua de tuna but more importantly, that is one of the top 3 meals I had
During a food tour we had some of whatever this was - some of us had more than one

Potato tacos...I had to look them up. I need to get out more. Now I want to make some!
Do you just fill tortillas with mashed potatoes, etc., fold them up and fry in a pan? Looks like pierogies in a flour tortilla.
One and done tonight

I am sure if you ask 10 different people you would get 10 different recipes, but I wouldn't just do mashed potatoes. Here's a Mexican recipe - For us, we start by peeling the potatoes, boiling them, then mashing them. We don't add dairy. Instead we add a tomato sauce puree (not pasta tomato sauce, a mexican one) along with some of this chicken bullion magic power stuff that we use on practically everything. I'm sure I'm missing something, but that's a good starting point. It's also good to fold it in and fry it in the tortilla.
Does picadillo count? SHMBO makes tacos from left over picadillo.

Love this!
Thanks! I like your recipe with Mexican tomato puree and chicken bouillon. That would add some umami to the potatoes. We have Better Than Bouillon paste--much more flavorful than cubes.
Did you use soft corn tortillas? And just pan fry them?
/sorry for the threadjack
