HB Smoked Pilsner, really a beer geek's beer, if that beer geek likes smoked beers...
Pounder of joose
ABV: 6.5%
Hops: Motueka, Mosaic, & Mosaic Cryo
HB brown ale
Continuing deeper and deeper into the British/Scottish/Irish beer project, now cometh “Old Speckled Hen” by Morland Brewing, Edmunds, Suffolk, England. Brewed since 1979 as an homage to the MG factory and their old MG paint-splattered car, the “Old Specked Un”… All I can say is don’t shoot the messenger!
Plenty of people like this toffee tasting, somewhat sweet to me, 4.8% ABV Ale. I’d say that the carbonation is set a little lower to possibly emulate some of the English Cask Ales, this one would be really interesting being pumped out of a beer engine in a historic pub and served with your bangers and mash! Caramel coming through with some fruity esters, 2 malts and four hops, but low hopping levels.
I think a lot of beer-shy people would enjoy this due to the residual sweetness. Me I usually walk on the wild side with hoppy IPA’s and Pilsners, so the residual sweetness is OK, but in local parlance “not exactly my cup of tea! A good beer though, if you dig the style, you’ll dig it! Cheers!

Went from a smoked pilsner to a Grodziskie and now a HB NEIPA. About face. But very good, with Columbus, Simcoe, Superdelic and Cashmere.
SN festbier. Pretty tasty. For some reason, I bought a case so gotta drink'em up!
Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale.
Nitro Milk Stout.
Ancho and fig? Sounds absolutely wonderful!!
20oz Pacifico Light with beef fajitas earlier. Now for a real beer and a perfect evening before turning cold again. Well, Austin cold.
Gloves dropped at faceoff. Should be a friendly good game

Post mashout beer, brewing a Czech pils today.
Having a local brewed beer. Very delicio
After the first sips I thought, there's something funny ... then I realised the 7.9% ... holy smoke. Bought it because of the Nelson and of curiosity.
"Schnabulierer" is like a "relishious muncher".
Camba Bavaria is a brewery founded by the brewing systems manufacturer BrauKon and started as showroom. Now they're doing quite "fancy sh!t" in terms of local minds. Lot's of different styles to taste which is quite unusual for our region.
Guinness knocks it out of the park with their fantastic Draught Stout. That’s “Draft Stout” for all the rest of us!
I remember when I started brewing, I was talking to some non-beer folk – they asked me what kinds of beer I could brew, and one of them I answered back with was “Stout”. For a newbie, Stout is an easier brew, less things to go wrong brewing a Stout! So the response I got back was “Wow, those are really strong beers aren’t they?”
Well, as we all know most styles can be brewed at whatever strength you feel like – Dextrose additions make all sorts of ABV adjustments possible without changing the beer too much. With Guinness, this scrumptious Stout is held to a very conservative 4.1% ABV, so you won’t be falling off that bar stool any time soon! Bartender, I’ll take another!
What’s really interesting with Guinness Draught Stout is their Nitrogen releasing widget inside each can – this provides the same nitrogen pour - tight foam, frothy and dynamic head that you would experience in many top pubs. In addition to the photo, I did a video clip showing the nitrogen charged head cascading through the Stout. Really brings the pub experience home! Similar to many Cask Ales, the carbonation/Nitrogen levels are a bit low, especially if you are used to a standard 2.5 volumes found on most beers. That’s OK, it’s the style. Cheers!

Enjoying this bottle where the other five sit in the cellar with past years batches.
Delicious as always!
Havin' a good ass time drinkin' some Good Ass Beer!
All remnants of the grandkids play scape removed. Yet another era concludes. When getting older, end of eras sure do add up. Anyway, thank goodness for craft beer!
Czech dark lager brewed in Birmingham, AL. Very nice.
Care to elaborate on "the gorge"? Love hiking myself...
Yum yum. This reminds me I still have a Rye IPA to brew.

Tired as all get out. My daughter had a “midnight madness” softball tournament this weekend. Games at 3:25 and 6:15 am Saturday morning and then 10:45 pm Saturday night. I’m wiped, but having a Hb ESB to close out the weekend.
Proud dad moment: she pitched a complete game shut out (6 innings before time ran out) and they won 1-0. Had 2 on with no out in the sixth but pitched out of the jam (and had help from her team in the field)!

Mead started 10/02/2020. Was very tart in the beginning. Tried again a few months ago and it was still too tart, not enjoyable at all. Today I'm amazed by the change. A little sweet, just a touch of tartness, very tasty.
