Wife and I stopped at my friend’s brewery, Humdinger Brewing, for a bite to eat and a beer before settling in to watch the baseball game.
This dipa is called Shane’s World. Hopped with Nelson and Idaho 7.

Damn, that's what a DIPA should look like. Gorgeous!
Simple and light isn't easy
Cellar grab…from an FOTD but forget who. Delicious!
It's homebrew Dampfbier night.
HB Irish Stout
My go-to when I'm away from home. An excellent example of the style...
Cheers!

A taste of hm limocello.
Earlier today an HBC held a stein brew. Many tastes of beer were enjoyed including barley wine, Bourbon county stouts dating back to pre pandemic. Now it’s H2O for me.

Rothaus has one of the more iconic Southern German Pilsners out there, Rothaus Tannen Zäpfle. I’d stack this one up against my other favorites, Ayinger Bavarian Pils, Austria’s (Berkeley here in the US) Trumer and Paulaner Pilsner.
Rothaus (Red House) has been around since 1791 and brews their Tannen Zäpfle (Little Fir Cones) according to the Reinheitsgebot beer purity law of 1516 using Barley Malt, Hops and Water. No rice or corn here.… Take that US beer producers!
Lovely color, lively carbonation, 5.3% ABV and a nice amount of head, Rothaus is located in the “Black Forest” area and is the highest altitude brewery in Germany. It is located about an hour north of Zurich. Boy, there’s a SoCal way of measuring distance! Rothaus is owned by the state-owned holding company of the state of Baden-Württemberg.
A little personal sermonizing here – Beermeister32 is a dyed-in-the-wool US capitalist pig. I do however appreciate a few things of publicly-recognized historical significance and beauty, and one is our historical breweries around the world. They are one of the few solid links with our past, one that we can still experience and appreciate! Breweries are one of the few things with historical connections with our past. I think the German model of upholding this heritage is far better than the rest of the world where equity managers end carving up and shuttering significant breweries that have huge links to our history, our hometowns, and our heritage. When you visit any of these towns, often breweries are the only enterprise and facility that still connects everyone - with family members and others all having enjoyment, and lives working at these loved breweries. There’s not much left after the financial vultures consume and rip apart these companies, tossing all aside, as the wrecked and historic buildings decay away with our history. I like the appreciation that the German public has given to these historic breweries. We need them! What else is left in life? Prost!

Tried the first bottle of HB oatmeal stout. Not bad after 2 weeks. Sessionable at 4.3%. Will try another one in a week.
Colorado craft beer
Edit: I’m not sure why they don’t use lager yeast. It would be much better. This is just a renamed amber ale.

Fans of both teams but....
Festbier from Aldi. Not a bad tasting beer but I don't get the festbier character.
Well things got a little outta hand last night, these couple beers turned in to many more it was a day of firewood work, cutting splitting, stacking, finally got my eyes and telescope on the dang comet, so that was nice, then bonfire with friends til way freaking later then I need to be awake, sometime this morning we finally turned in. Not all pictured because well... I guess when you're half in the bag you give less sh**s about taking beer pics. And somehow I pulled off a brewday today, so that's a plus.
Nice column! Enjoy your beer reviews!
HB Belgian Tripel w/French oak/Chardonnay
Schlenkerla rotbier with cherry wood smoke. First time for cherry wood smoke in beer and I really like it! Fruity, slightly sweet aroma. Full body, nice malty, smokey flavor, 4.6%. Delicious.

The only pumpkin beer I'll drink. No limits this year! Needs time but delicious.
Get Chocolate for sure...
Things that don’t exist on an airplane for $1000 please, Alex.
Wife's HB cookies are the bomb. Another. Early voting and hopefully a brew tomorrow so why not.
That's a really interesting choice of base beer for a spiced beer. I guess you have no choice but to dose the spices at packaging? I don't normally get too geeked up about spiced beers, but that sounds really good!
HM Chinese rice wine. Aging tempers the sweet and tart. Worth the wait as is usually the case with homemade alcoholic beverages.

It's been my experience that imperial stouts make the best base, IMHO. With that said, this is the only pumpkin I spend any $$$ on anymore. Tupps, out of Dallas make a decent IS-Pumpkin also.
Finally got the leaky kegs fixed. Time for the Belgian Quad to go in. Purposefully left it low, about 9.5%.
Welp, this is what I end up with after 3-13.6% beers (and others). Quest 3 arrived this morning. ProEra 2025 does look better. My passing still needs work...

A pint pot of that Munich lager thing. I could really use the 6-gal keg in which this beer currently resides for dry hopping an upcoming WCIPA, but I don't want this keg to die!
Time to buy another keg! C'mon, you're just looking for a reason to.
Another crazy, summer-like day here in the Northland. It's 82 and I feel like we'll be paying for it this winter. Gotta average things out.
Out back with a HB blonde ale.

You're reading my mind. Although I'm a certified wretchedly cheap SOB, I've been giving a lot of thought to getting a third 6-gal keg and rigging it up with the Hop Stopper 2.0 keg filter as a dedicated dry hopping keg.
Like Max, I'm enjoying this amazing weather. It's low 80's with nary a cloud in sight. I have the windows wide open knowing that it'll soon cool off into the 50s once the sun sets. You couldn't ask for a more perfect day!
The mild you've all seen a billion times before.

It's time to go back to work.
I am drinking a Northern German Pils, more hoppy and more stroh color than Southern Pils.
