What are you drinking now?

[camonick]

So I’ve come to a conclusion after drinking that Smithwick’s last night. It was the first one I’ve ever had and didn’t realize it was brewed by Guinness. About half way through the bottle I told my wife “this has the Guinness “flavor” even though it’s a red ale”. Therefore my pea brain thinks it has to be the water and/or the yeast at the brewery and not some secret ingredient. I’d love to get my hands on some of it.

Left the last beer out for 10min and got too hot. This is good. Bottled 3/19, 11%. Nice brandy. Nice mouth feel. Different experience from beginning to end.

Aluminum shortage... I’ve worked for aluminum smelters and in the US they are all shutting down. It’s really an issue because there are only a few left in the US (maybe one) that can make military grade aluminum and only a hand full left at all. I think it a major issue that few know anything about.

Interestingly I also work for a major glass manufacturer, who would prefer we all drink from glass bottles. But there are several glass bottle manufacturers in the US, so I’m a lot less worried about them for strategic purposes...

That's interesting. This is clearly off topic but I'd like to hear your version of the president's tariffs on Canada aluminum. I have my opinion but you sound more in tune, maybe PM me?

OT....still sucking down the 11%er. Last day of vacation but only a 2day work week so staying inebriated is no biggie!

Veggie night

Not at all what I was expecting. Bottled in 2015. Very sweet with a bunch of floaters.
I just saw the word “Helles” and told my sister to grab it. 14% ABV

The Sierra bottles have a longer crown that is actually easier to cap and holds a better seal and less likely to break when capping. Figured that one out after long enough using stubbies

Ugh. I was going to use Sierra bottles but there’s more variety in bottles (at least in my area) for Lagunitas. I did notice they seem thinner than other bottles

My wife’s old roomie just moved back to the north shore of Boston from Brooklyn with her wife. They made me drink a bunch of their stash of Other Half today. I was also sent home with a “road soda”, my wife did not allow........but it still taste great at home

other half Mylar Bags

You’ve got a few months! Should see some Oktoberfest, stout and porter soon too. Mixers are good too, that’s usually how I replace bottles I ship and retire

speaking ok...first of a hoppy mixer

The butterfly cappers have trouble with the short shoulder on the bottles from Lagunitas and Anchor. If you have a floor capper you should be ok.

OT - Belgian Triple from a local microbrewery.

Just cracked first taste test of my chocolate raspberry sour milk stout that I brewed last month. First go at a sour and hot damn this thing turned out well. Had my wife try it too and she was really impressed which made me super happy as she is a bit of a sour beer snob, so if I impressed her I definitely did it right!

Water, seems appropriate (yikes)
