Only a couple more of these left 
On another note I picked up a kegerator and beer engine on Facebook and I am planning on getting it all set up. Might need to build out a tower to hold the engine and a couple taps.

I rounded up a heavy, 9.2% ABV Atomic Torpedo IPA for IPA day today. Sierra Nevada has done it again!
I find that anything I try from Sierra Nevada is darned good. How can you go wrong with their iconic Pale Ale? I especially enjoy some of the joint brewing projects they do periodically. The one I most enjoyed and really wish would come back was their collaboration brew with Bitburger, called “Triple Hop’d Lager,” a delicious 5.8% ABV, 30 IBU Lager which featured Bitburger’s Lager experience and Sierra’s hopping skills. Fantastic!
This one’s great too, and at 42 IBU, it’s plenty hoppy! Great IPA! Cheers!

Having another bottle of the HB malt liquor. First brew where I used gelatin. Just 2-1/2 weeks conditioning and it shines (after I wipe the condensation off the glass).
Very easy drinking for 7.4% ABV. Need to come up with a name. Maybe Brown Bag Bummin'.

Been working on rebuilding the back deck and on the road for work the last two weeks too.
I’m hopeful I can get back to being more active here soon. Cheers everyone!
Saw this in the wild for the first time so grabbed one after seeing it on HBT a few times. Orange up front then coriander on the back. 8% but not boozy. I haven't had the regular version in a while but this is very similar as I remember it. It's a pretty big serving for 8%, unless you're @ThirstyPawsHB .
Weekend starts now…

Sip of my previous arancello batch. Tasty but I like the current lower ABV version a little better.
Aslan brewing out of Bellingham, Washington makes a fantastic “Coastal Pils,” their rendition of an authentic German-Style Pilsner.
I’ve had a few of these this week and I’m impressed… and I drink a lot of Pilsners!
Coastal Pils is a tasty 4.8% ABV Lager, and one you should get to know. One of the best Pilsners brewed on the West Coast as far as I’m concerned. Prost!

A short Pilsner to round ou the night.
Quad has been cold crashing. Will keg before work and hopefully have a nice sample 12hrs later.
I'm not so sure about that, if I run my kegs at the pressures that produce the kinda foam on your advertisement, they suffer for having been over carbed. Frankly, I find it better to listen to the ale, rather than adhere to the ideas of a what a marketing MBA thinks an ale should look like on a paid advertisement."I'm just trying to keep Claudius off my ass.
Why do you fear the foam now?
According to the British beer guru Michael Jackson, your beer should at least look like the one pictured on my wall
As for Jackson, I think we're a bit beyond that at this point, right?

I've been in a grouchy mood recently, so I haven't been drinking any beer, nor have I logged in. But I did have a glass of Panther Piss earlier this evening.

How is that on nitro? Seems a bit different than the highly carbed Belgian versions.
You're not kidding. Flavor is there with mouth feel. But that's how I tend to like my beers.

Post keg sample, 10.7% Quad, for breakfast....to kill the hangover. Everyone at work knows me as the local drunk anyway!
Definitely more like '3-Philosophers'. Next one will be more Westvleteren 12.

Car Show today so I dropped the car off and walked down to the little little pour house
I can’t tell you how happy I am that Heineken ships beer to us in these fantastic 24 ounce cans. Kinda like a mini-keg, now that I think about it! Nothing like METAL to shield delicious beers from all the evils of the world!
The West coast of America is far away from the European brewers. I can remember when I was a fledgling beer drinker, occasionally getting some Heineken in – you guessed it – “them green bottles!” That’s OK, a lot of the Euro beers arrived in green bottles - that seemed like the thing to do. Grolsch, Lowenbrau and a host of others came in green glass. It was no surprise at all when we cracked one open, poured it into the glass and experienced that skunky UV-struck taste and smell!
Of course we had no idea that’s what we were experiencing. Back then, we thought ALL German/Dutch/French/Italian beers, or anywhere else shipping green glass had that smell and taste. We “expected it!” Hey, “that’s the way import beer tastes!"
A lot of brewers have now given up the green glass, and I think that’s a great thing – still we have some holdouts that come over wearing the green glass, Heineken included for that matter. The beer has to be radically protected to survive without ‘Ol Sol shining down the sinister love on these. Metal shields the beer wonderfully.
I think Heineken is taking the right approach – still including the green for marketing purposes – a great big green can! I just wish they would follow Pilsner Urquell’s lead and switch over to the brown glass. You aren’t going to lose market share fellas, we’re not married to green glass…. In fact you might pick up a few sales points! The beer community now gets it! Proost!

Experimental hazy DIPA with Citra, Mosaic and Nelson. Think I've avoided posting this so far, for a couple of reasons.
One, it's quite an ugly beer. It looks oxidised, even though it isn't - the darker hue is a result of extending the boil to take a work call that lasted like an hour.
Two, it's taken a LONG time to get into it's stride. I think I kegged it in late April and the hop burn was so bad for the first 6 weeks that I pulled it out of my kegerator for about the same. It then spent maybe 2 weeks chilling in mid July before I hooked it back up, by which point it was tasting properly ludicrous.
Whirlpooled around 16g/L and dry hopped at about 20g/L. A ridiculously thick, sweaty-gym-sock 8.5% Mosaic bomb that can realistically only be consumed by the third pint.

Ft. Worth brewed sour. Nice fruity aroma, taste is much less pronounced. Carbonation quickly dissipated, leaving it pretty flat.
