Gose with black/blue/straw and raspberries. Slightly tart, tasty.
HB Cream Ale
A couple months ago, I had a chat with the dude at the pub down the street about the best beer he ever had. He told me about a Brew Dog beer from many years back called Neon Overlord. It's a Mango Habanero IPA. While not my thing, it sounded interesting and a challenge to make.
Brew Dog published their recipe book, and I found the recipe in there. The numbers didn't look like they added up (i.e. OG/FG didn't match ABV, even with mango additions). Nonetheless, I approximated it and now I am drinking a HB 8.6% ABV Mango Habanero (Imperial) IPA. I mashed lower than I should have.
The recipe called for 250g of Mango for 19 litres in the FV, and I used 1 kg of Mango for 23 litres. Still think it needs more. Smells nice anyway.
The burn starts quick, but fades. Think I could handle at most one of these a night.

Was just in Minnesota and Wisconsin a couple days ago and didn't see any Grain Belt on tap anywhere I was. Not that I really like it, but I like to try it every once in a while and it reminds me that beautiful part of the country. I need to find one of those glasses next time I'm over there.

Switching between my Mountain Hazy IPA, that really came out very good and a store bought Hazy Pale Ale called Gummy Worms from a brewery in Sacramento. I had it on a golf course in Auburn and really dug it. I found it at Wines and more for 18 bucks a 12 pack.
HB Mexican Cake. The cinnamon seems to be fading, which is okay by me. Tastes great.
OH, I led off today with a Russian River Experimental IPA. Damned if I can remember it, but it was the last bottle sitting at the Total Wines and more cooler in the back of the store. LOL. Had to try it, not too bad. I'll look it up
I really want to try and make their IPA. I saw the youtube vid that the aptbrewer did and it doesn't look that tough, but the ingredients are expensive compared to what I have been brewing. Maybe one day. Rock On!!!!!!!!
EQ does pack a punch of hops. This one is a good one. I don't mean in a bad way but I don't think I've ever had one of theirs that I'd call a crusher. Something you could slam a 6 pack of. They 'em hop bombs
HB IPA
I will, when I get back to my pc. I’m on the road.
HB blonde ale
Weekend starts now...
Last of the Cinco de Mayo Modelo with chile relleno.

Long day of softball for my daughter and a 5:15 wake up call tomorrow for another game. Welcome to travel softball summer.
Double fisting that Oberon.
Kamakazi (#2).
Many tastes at the event.

HB Bitter, served from a pint-sized flip top, and let the bottle sit out for awhile to bring it up to a more proper temp - kicking myself for only figuring that out now with only one left, because it's by far at its best this way. Just have to make more...
This why we don't drink in the morning and brew! I added sugar to ensure I'm hitting at least 6.5%.
But, calculates to a 9% Raspberry Hard Lemonade. Should be an interesting 4th..

A little Chambord floater would spruce that up...used to be a go to after work drink.
I've had that one, very good beer. Their Helles is also very tasty. I think they are in Santa Cruz.
Correct! And I forgot to use my Santa Cruz glass..
@BongoYodeler @camonick This baby is bubbling already! Fermenting at 69...that seems like a good number to use.
HB Blueberry Melomel
I'll try that. Thanks for the tip.
Rye IPA

Smoked porter. Not too smoky though!
HB ESB. Not my best effort, kind of astringent, and I think I know why. I used a false bottom under the bag and that 2" of wort became 10 degrees hotter than the wort inside the bag when I bumped the heat during the mash (propane fired), despite lots of stirring. A tight gap on the mill might have shredded some husks, too. My mash pH was good, at 5.38.
It's drinkable, but I won't serve it to guests.

Chicken in the smoker, just as well have a beer.
