Tried to nap earlier on this "Sunday" but neighbors across the street started their massive remodel, 8-10months. O the noise noise noise noise noise.....said the Grinch. In addition, the construction for the new highway system kept me up since 2am. Sounded like they're pounding piles into the ground. Hence the early drinking.

Oh well, I have half of Saturday off to watch our newly fermented Husker offence with the old West Virginia coach as OC. Sure, because they did SO well in the Big12. 🤔

Munich Helles currently at 4.73%@1.010. Hope this turns out good with the string of failures lately...

I brewed a Helles Sunday myself. It’s happily bubbling away in the fridge at 54°. Raspberry hard lemonade brewed on Saturday is steadily burping too.
OT: hazy pale ale

Just like those old episodes of Gilligan’s Island – you’ve seen them a million times but it never gets old – Same is true with Ayinger Altbairisch Dunkel! Again and again, it’s a repeat performance! I can’t get enough of this stuff!

There was a time when most beers were like this, check out the old picture. Tasty, malty brews. It wasn’t until much later that they got the clue to lighten things up – Color and ABV!

Ayinger is one of my regulars here, really a great Bavarian Brewery, er, Brauerei. This is a nice dark, super drinkable lager. 5% ABV, Ayinger suggests this is good for food pairings. Heck, if I’m drinking this, how about two more? You keep the food, I’m drinking! Who needs food? More Ayinger! Prost!

Bird of PassageLager - Munich Dunkel​

5.2% ABV
Bird of Passage is our Munich Dunkel conditioned in oak for an extended period of time. Pouring an inviting dark brown color in the glass with a wispy head, it carries notes of brown bread, toasted malts, and molten caramel softened by a gentle kiss of oak in the finish. Refined and precisely executed, we hope you enjoy this delightful beverage as much as we do.

That darned C40 will talke the hair right off every time....!
Really!

If we lived in a fairer, more honest society, there would be a warning label on C-40, but Big Toupee has its grasping fingers in every aspect of our polity.

One of these days, though, we will rise up and throw off the shackles of Big Toupee.
 
I just love crystal clear brews. Now don’t get me wrong, I actually enjoy plently of not so clear Ale and Lagers, even some hazy IPA’s once in a while. There’s something I enjoy about the high craftsmanship of a well-clarified beer though. Finings make for a fine beer!

Along those lines, check out this Veltins Pilsener (Northern German spelling). This stuff is CRYSTAL CLEAR, you can read right through it! Bravo Veltins!

Based out of Mesche-Grevenstein Germany, C & A Veltins pumps out one fine Pilsner. Pilsener. Pils. Whatever. 4.8% ABV, flavor is excellent – very traditional German Pils. Decent head, small amount of lacing, this beer is a thirst quencher! Prost!

Bottling leftover of Graham' English Cider. Liking it a lot right now. The black tea and lime juice I added to the bb give it a nice balance. We'll see how it is when it's carbed. I started a Ribena wine on the lees.

Once more, I find myself googling your doings. ;)

A black current wine sounds amazing!
