Good day. I always order a Pilsner everywhere I go to judge what kind of brewery I’m dealing with.
Tasty O'fest Märzen. Malty, a little caramel, a little bitterness at the end. Good beer!
Left Hand Belgian White Nitro
There’s a football game against CU in town today so things are a little busier than usual apparently.

Needs more West Coast flavor (more malt).

As I always say, one good Stiegl deserves another!
Today’s Stiegl is their yummy Goldbräu, 5.0% ABV. Big, malty and very restrained hopping, I’ve got a new one - “Stiegl - It’s what’s for dinner!” Enjoy and chug - Prost!

HM Chinese rice wine spritzer. 1:1 Crw and seltzer. Tasty.
3 Floyds West Coast IPA?
Not very West Coast by my standards, nor is it listed on the 3 Floyds website.

9% HB Raspberry Hard Lemonade
HB pale ale from a vintage recipe.
Yummy 10%er. x2
Thank goodness it's only 97 right now..
Noobie at A/C work. Pretty sure this isn't right when the a/c on full.

Took a gravity sample of a stout I recently brewed. When brewing I miss read my hydrometer so I added DME to raise the OG. This error caused me to add way way way to much DME. Current ABV is coming in at 25.5%.
More parts ordered for a/c issue. Time for pool and HB Raspberry Hard Lemonade.
Single hop Cascade HB
Hey, look at what I found this week. North Coast Brewing has released another run of ACME Beer, I haven’t had this for about 5 years!
No, ACME isn’t some creation of Warner Brothers with an anvil dropping on the Coyote. ACME was originally a product of the creative and well-hydrated mind of Leopold Schmidt and his Olympia Brewery empire. Going back to the early 1900’s, ACME was a San Francisco division and separate operating company of Olympia Brewing. Over the years, ACME changed hands, was a product of California Brewing Association, was very strong in the 1940’s, then owned by Globe, then Liebman, Hamm’s and finally Excelsior before North Coast obtaining rights, and this time produced by nearby Anderson Valley Brewing Company for North Coast Brewing. So let’s call ACME what it is – the bouncing tennis ball of the beer business!
North Coast Brewing is now “it”! A great thing! Run this historic beer as much as you can fellas, it’s a part of Western Beer History as much as the likes of Anchor, Rainier, Olympia, Buffalo, BOCA and Fredricksburg! I even know where there’s an original nice wooden 1910-era ACME wooden keg, but I’m not telling!
Oh, I nearly forgot, how’s the beer? It’s a delicious Malt-Hops-Water-Yeast 4.4% ABV classic lager – hey a Reinheitsgebot beer from Mendocino County? Maybe! I thought there were just potheads up there. Great beer brewers too obviously. CHUG !!!

Apple pie in the oven and taking a break with this.
Watching the Steelers and grading student work. Beer #4; it's been a selection of Modern Times, 3 Weavers, Smog City, and Firestone-Walker. The pic doesn't help.
Apple pie is baked and chillin with a HB Irish Stout
Burgers, Beer and Bangles (Chiefs)
Dunkles starkbier doppelbock. Never saw this before so had to give it a try. Man, am I glad I did! Nice dark malt aroma, slightly sweet with a little toffee and stone fruit, medium to full body, 7.4%. This is very good imho.

Zwei! Best Hefeweizen on the front range
First taste of the Imperial IPA. Continuously hopped until I ran out of hops. I think I'm going to like it a lot, but at >10% ABV and >100 IBU, I'll be liking it in small doses.
Nightfall Chocolatey Porter from the brewery by our house. So good!
Seems balanced.
Relaxing after an impromptu brew day today. Couldn’t find a day soon that worked, so knocked out a lemon lavender saison today.

Taste of a hard green tea made from a AriZona jug with ginseng that I just happened to see in the Winn Dixie. Sometimes I still say "I wonder if I can make a drinkable alcoholic beverage out of that?"
Still a noob at heart, I guess. It's not bad, actually. Wife and I agree it's kinda like Chinese rice wine without the tartness.

Yes, great beer; even named my dog after it!
Edit: his name is "Korby" to be precise.

Now that Octoberfest is upon us I'm all in for sampling local craft breweries offerings. IMHO most, not all but most small craft breweries, be it brewpub or all-around brewery, attempt to make an Octoberfest with adjuncts and specialty malts that simply do not qualify as an Octoberfest beer. They miss the malty caramel sweetness derived from a triple decoction mash. In my town, a German settled city in North Alabama, we pride ourselves on our Octoberfest celebration. The feature brewery represented is Hofbrau. Naturally Hofbrau Octoberfest beer is on tap and the locals who basically know very little about beer consume that swill and think that is what an Octoberfest beer is supposed to taste like. One local brewery also provides their Octoberfest offering but it too pails in comparison to a true Octoberfest.
So each year I brew my version of Octoberfest and serve it to friends and relatives who always love it, me too I must add. I do a triple decoction mash and lager it no less than two months ahead of celebration time. This year I brewed mine July 25. I will adjust carbonation later this week and tap that babe by the end of next week.
I also seek out craft brewery offerings from other cities and towns. Pictured below is Cahaba Brewing Company located in Birmingham, Alabama's Octoberfest. I don't know if they are doing decoction mashing or not, but this is one of the best Octoberfest beers that I have found in this area. It is a very good example.
