What are you drinking now?

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Last night's night cap..well x2

 

[beermanpete]

Manhattan at O'hare.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

HB Munich Helles while waiting on the absurdity that is MSFS2024. Ah, memories of msfs2020 first year is coming back.

 

[Rish]

Very nice Oktoberfest

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

More bargain bin. $4.50/6pk, sure why not? (Still not on msfs2024..)
Edit, x2.

Those went down fast....you guessed it! Another BB! Snatched 4 of these 19oz'ers.

 

[lumpher]

Pretty decent German Pils. Not bad at all for an Aldi beer. I have it every now and then.

 

[Rish]

This is really good! 11%

 

[BongoYodeler]

HB Bitter. This beer recently won 3rd place in a regional HB competition. Only the third contest I've ever entered, and the first time I've placed. I entered it on a whim, and in fact had already begun thinking of ways I could improve on it even before I entered it.

 

[Rish]

Hydro sample of brown ale. Not bad.

 

[day_trippr]

My all-Citra hazy...

Cheers!

Hb neipa, after throwing a gallon batch of ginger beer together.

Tonight I’m doing a blender. It’s really interesting, when you take a flavorful beer like a Warsteiner Dunkel and blend it back with a flavor-neutral diet beer, Budweiser Zero, the stronger flavor still comes through nicely. Our taste thresholds are that way, we still taste the strong flavors. This turns out 4.8% ABV down to a 2.4% ABV drinkable brew. I’ve been in a meeting all afternoon, I just need something light right now but still flavorful.

I should be drinking big-time however. Yesterday’s router saga continued today with our phone carrier techie and then their area manager spending time in the Beermeister32 facilities. Yes that’s right, after getting the new wireless router with a transfer speed of 2.5 Gigabytes per second, you’d think that’s enough. Nope. Seems that the tower is handing a LOT of data from chumps like us - and it gets parceled out to the many users on the system. In a nutshell, it drops out and takes forever to load big files. S-L-O-W! Their recommendation: Go back to the copper wired system until we get fiber-optic at some point in the future. Like never.

So that’s where we are. Put the old server back in, zippy internet again and three hours arguing about it with the carrier over the phone. Luckily done by someone else around here. Ridiculous!

By the way, that’s darned important. We need good service to report back my daily beer escapades! Prost!

Last night in Siem Reap I drank this jewel in a little eatery there. They're supporting local businesses and people who need a second chance, donating all profits for kids education after paying the employees over average, and they served this local brew (founded after the pandemic lockdowns to give people a job in the brewery).
Beside the social spect ... it was very delicious. Crisp, low IBU, a little malty sweetness, and carbed to a refreshing sparkling. A decent citrus note like Galaxy or maybe Citra.
4.25$ (yes, USD... we mostly paid in USD in Cambodia, that was a surprise) was a kind of high price for this country for a drink, but it was worth it.
Cheers!

 

[Broothru]

Not sure if this qualifies:

Visiting the Grands in Florida for a few weeks. They know my weaknesses and bought accordingly.

 

[RumOnTheDocks]

Had this Amber ale earlier while cleaning some brewing stuff. Not half bad, had a pleasant malty taste and aroma, perhaps a bit heavy handed on the hops for my personal taste though.

And carried on with a HB Dark Mild.

November has been a month. What did I drink this month?
A 6er of Three Floyd’s Zombie Dust (love it) while back in Indiana helping my mom move. 40 years worth of stuff to inventory and clean out while prepping for a sale.

Now I’m in DC and I actually took a picture of a beer. Marzen from Red Bear, which is delicious. I also really enjoyed their Italian pils.


What do you mean the month isn’t over yet?

 

[MaxStout]

HB oatmeal stout while i watch for the snow to start.

 

[Rish]

SN/Gutmann collab. Pretty tasty but not up there with the German ones I've been drinking.

 

[Bramling Cross]

Not a great Stout, but it'll pass. I much prefer my HB versions .

You're damned right! That's why we brew!

My man, that's how you do it.

Looks like my week is wrapping up rather quickly, so...

UK IPA

90's style NW IPA--surprised that this thing is clearing up given that I dumped a little over 6oz of dry hops into it.

Round two of that Munich lager thing, kegged on Sunday. It needs some time (and me to remember that you don't boil your water prior to adding the geletin). Stupid, stupid, stupid. Solid rule to remember: don't try to keg while watching your lousy football team choke away another game.

Hey, I just noticed that the lighting conditions made the "For Rish!" note visible on the red toolbox. I think that's the clearest it's ever been, Rish.

 

[camonick]

HB hazy pale ale that’s been kegged long enough it’s starting to get clear.

 

[BongoYodeler]

RHL, just kegged. I cut the back sweetening to 2 cups rather than 3 cups. Tastes less sweet, more tart....of course.

I haven't added any Raspberry extract yet, going to try it as is for a bit before I make a decision on whether or not to add extract, or how much.

I wasn't as careful with the transfer this time and it looks like a bit of pulp made it over. Hopefully it doesn't clog the dip tube.

I'll have the big house

Where are you that they're charging twenty bucks for enchiladas? I drove clean across the country earlier this year on excellent $12-14 enchiladas.

 

[bailey mountain brewer]

Crap day, this will help.

 

[Rish]

SA Winter Lager.

 

[Beermeister32]

Tonight I’m nursing a couple dermatologist inflicted wounds, carving chunks out of old Beermeister32. Ouch. A great time to put it all behind me with a yummy Mexican Lager! This California sun sounds great until you start getting UV damage. Makes me want to slink on back to the Northern hinterlands away from Old Sol. Maybe drink some vitamin D milk under the cloudy skies!

The real funny thing about Mexican Lager isn’t the recipe or procedure. I like the vague company descriptions about “a couple guys” making a Mexican brewery. The back story really is usually the story of German brewers setting up beer brewing businesses serving those thirsty folks under the Southwest and Mexican sun! Gringos!

Part of this Southwest insanity is dealing with skin damage issues. I guess that wasn’t a concern back in the day, they were setting up German Lager breweries. This Pacifico is excellent, go buy yourself one of these 24 ouncers. I’m drinking mine with my handcrafted tortilla chips. ¡Ole!

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Where are you that they're charging twenty bucks for enchiladas? I drove clean across the country earlier this year on excellent $12-14 enchiladas.

I agree. It pains me in a restaurant to pay over $20 for a burrito. I think I paid even that for a food truck down the street. It's the northeast but I like the family the runs the place.

But then again there's the entertainment

OT

Out of HB; have a Cream Ale that should be ready to keg tomorrow. Drinking Prost Dunkel. It’s pretty good.

 

[orionol73]

 

[Cheshire Cat]

A pint of my Sussex Best Bitter

 

[RumOnTheDocks]

HB Smoked Porter.

 

[RumOnTheDocks]

Well it has started snowing and looking at the bleak, dreary, cold weather made me wish for something warm, cosy and slightly stronger.
Andechs Doppelbock Dunkel seemed to fit that bill very nicely.

 

[grampamark]

Kegging sample of Cream Ale. Tastes great now, gonna be really good in a few days.
