What are you drinking now?

[drainbamage]

Was in a coma for 5 years, don’t really wanna get into all that though. You know what I’m on though.

Oh man, feel better.

 

[Hoochin'Fool]

Homebrew Amber Ale, with cascade (bittering and flameout), and mandarina bavaria (dry hop). Turned out pretty good!

 

[bike2brew]

It's drinking time again with a few homebrew Oktoberfest beers.

Quality control taste for me, the rest for the chili.

HM cider with fajc added to juice. 7.4%.

 

[grampamark]

HB Amber Ale, kegged about a week ago.

Haven’t been here as much for the last couple of weeks. Nothing major, just a “life gets in the way” sort of thing. I’m pretty much back to just being an old retired guy now.

 

[JAReeves]

After running errands for the school I get to finish grading at home. This is decent.

 

[Lampy]

HB Corn, Rice, Barley Ale. Closest thing I've made to BMC (wife says "It's mild!")

 

[MaxStout]

More summer-like WX. 70s and 80s the next few days.

Out back with last of the Dunkles Hefe. I need to get more of these.

 

[JAReeves]

Moving on to grading student essays; I need something to get the taste out of my mouth. From Pizza Port in Carlsbad.

Today we have the battle of the Maibocks! So why the heck are we tasting Bock beers designed to be released in the month of May in Oktober? Just shows the wide difference in Bavarian interpretations of the same thing. With a SRM range of 6-11, there can be quite a bit of variation in this tasty brew.

Hofbräuhaus Maibock – Advertised as Munich’s first Maibock – Brewed according to the Reinheitsgebot, it’s 1516 compliant. SRM color is darker than Ayinger’s. ABV is there by the bucketful, coming in at a hefty 7.2%. These are BIG beers! Really reminds me of a lot of the Oktoberfest’s I’ve been drinking, there isn’t a huge difference here. Definitely a touch more boozy, this is a delicious malt-forward brew.

Ayinger Maibock – Malty and delicious, and a touch more spicy than the Hofbräuhaus version, Ayinger knows how to please! Another Reinheitsgebot big Beer, Ayinger releases this at a hefty 7% ABV. Although both are Maibocks, this one doesn’t seem quite as boozy, it seems to mask the ABV with the spicier hop profile. Still a malt–forward beer, this one seems more like a bigger, heavier heavy Helles to me. Not so much like an Oktoberfest.

Both of these are Spring beers designed for release in May for Springtime festivities. Because of the extensive temperature-controlled Beermeister32 lagering Bierhorde, we have the chance to extend that season out a few months - and enjoy these here in Oktober, up against other seasonal Oktoberfest brews from around the world! I think you’d enjoy either one of these. Just shows the range of what’s possible with this style.

How was that? It was so random with some interesting breweries I figured I'd throw it in as a wildcard. Oddly I found it at my fav packy down the street

It was delicious! More traditional IPA than NEIPA and was very refreshing! Thanks for including it in the box

Visiting Hop & Sting in Grapevine, TX today. Really good brewery and a must stop for anyone visiting the DFW area and likes beer, wine, and hoity-toity food places.

Done with today's yardwork, time for a Doppelbock.

Quite the operation you have.

Check out the What I did for Beer Today thread. Mr. ClaudiusB is rocking the Lawrence Livermore National Labratory of home breweries. Some of us brew on gas, others on electricty. Claudius brews with a particle accelerator.

His rig is wild.

My no funny stuff UK IPA

May as well circumnavigate my kegs...

This is (accidentally) the single best helles I've ever made. I will cry when it's gone.

Well, that's the entirety of my current offerings.
