Back home, with a HB oatmeal stout. Too cold and rainy to sit outside.
What are you drinking now?

A little HM hard green tea
I figured I’d try to get my mind off the US elections today, and what better way than German beer. Then this surprise!
I guess all the shipping and sitting in warehouses from here to there can cause this. I let it settle down a bit, which it needed. Zittauer Burgerbrau Original, Since 1845. This is a yummy and fantastic low ABV brew, 4.1% ABV. That means I can drink two of them, right?
Style-wise, I’m placing it somewhere between a Helles and a Pilsner. Just a touch hoppy to call it a Helles. Not quite hoppy enough to be called a Pils. Maybe that’s why they call it their Original. Designed to please the masses!
This is a terrific brew, give it a try some time. Just stand back when you open it!

Mexican Cake. I really like this but I like my version better: more heat, less bitter, a little sweeter, a little more body and carbonation, a lot cheaper. But then that's one reason we homebrew, right?
Yum

HB blackberry ale from my brew partner. Needs more time to carbonate but dang it’s tasty.

We voted; we drank.
My Mangrove Jacks Lucky Goat Pale Ale! Very nice flavour after only a couple of weeks in the bottle!
Tis the season for darker brews. Well at least it gives me a good excuse to drink and brew a fair share of them.
Had this one at a pub earlier, apologies for the awful lighting.
Samuel Smith Chocolate Stout
And drinking this one now. Picked it up at the store on a whim. Not bad for the price, some decent coffee notes in the taste and aroma. A bit lighter on the chocolate notes however. All in all not a bad experience.

Having a HB blonde ale and getting caught up on HBT.
HB pale ale. DH’d with Strata and Idaho7. Definitely not my best effort, and why I’ll be pouring it at a local beer festival. The drunken college kids will probably enjoy it more than I will.
AL brewed red lager. Pretty good.
Long day sooo, why not.
HB Bitter
These green bottles sure look pretty. They do stress me out a bit though. I’m still trying to figure out the rationale here, it must be a marketing thing. Years ago we’d buy green–bottled German beer and it always had that skunky light-struck taste to it. Of course we had no idea that’s what it was. We just knew that it was German beer, and that meant it had to be good stuff! “Hey, that’s the way it’s supposed to taste!”
Luckily, this Einbecker Winter Bock has been safely stored and lagered at 38F for the past 6 months in the Beermeister32 bierhoard. It’s a fantastic brew, and not lightstruck in the slightest! Whew! Dodged that one! They have another name for it – Vollmundiger Dopplebock which loosely translates as “More Full-Bodied Double Bock.”
Based out of Einbeck, ground-zero for the Bock World, Einbecker’s Winterbock weighs in at a heavy 7.5% ABV. Super malty and very restrained hopping, tastes a lot like the “-ator” type German lagers. It’s a big, boozy, malty beer. Too bad it’s packaged in these babyish 11.2 ounce teaser bottles. I guess in a perfect world these would be 500ml minimum and in a UV resistant brown glass. Great beer! Prost!

And today we drank; we showered
But it looks fantastic!
Thanks. It does taste pretty good right now, just not at all how I planned it to end up. I had an issue when I was transferring the beer to the dry hop keg which caused me ditch that plan and transfer it directly to the fermentation-purged serving keg. I ended up having to dry hop it by opening the serving keg lid and drop a hop sack of dry hops in. I purged the full keg a bunch of times but I'm fearful that this one's going to show signs of being oxidized before I can drink it all. Serving it at the festival will mean it will be consumed quite fresh, plus it should allow me to brew something else sooner.
Full day of cage match meetings.
Guess where? Off hours are good
Milky Haze DIPA damn and triple shot vanilla stout damn damn

HM raspberry hard lemonade.
Having one or maybe four of these today, struggling with a bit of a homebrew shortage while things are carbing up and fermenting.
Pretty tasty AL brewed Belgian white.
I was replying to Rum on the docks I'm shotgun Craig and I'm previously made a batch of dark Hefeweizen but I altered the original recipe it was a 5 gallon batch which I made I used chocolate malt and and wheat but I also added two 10 oz bottles of heavy thick molasses and 4 lb of brown sugar light brown sugar and I think that ABV was around 17 I used red star Premier blank yeast now I've never drinking a beer that was that strong but actually this come out very nice you can't drink it fast or if you do it hit you real quick but it's a good sipping beer it has a great afternoon taste your room is good the Hops are just right it was an experiment that luckily turned out positively great days ahead peace
Cider hydro sample. It's done and cleared so I'll bottle this weekend and use the yeast cake to take a stab at Ribena wine.
Punny good stuff!
Thanks for ^that^ as it may inspire me to check them out. Schilling Beer Company in Littleton NH is a 15 minute drive from my house in Franconia but I haven't had the pleasure of visiting them - yet. I just looked at their web site and they are certainly interesting!
Cheers!
[edit] My boys and their families are up at our NH house and when I suggested they check out Schilling they let me know they love the place. Apparently I'm the only male in the family that hasn't been there
