Working on the bike and my keg didn’t carb up yet so I’m stuck with my go to...the bad thing about living in the middle of nowhere is I’m lucky to even get this.

After pedaling my bicycle around Manassas for 25.37 miles today (and over 1,615 miles in 2020) I'm enjoying my own Blackberry Wheat. IMHO, believe I've earned it.

Was going to brew on Saturday, but the latest tropical storm/hurricane is forecast to bring us rain Sunday thru Tuesday. So, I'm rescheduling brewing until Monday (will brew a British Mild) and go on a bicycle ride on Saturday instead.
 
My Hazelnut Brown.

I've had more compliments from people over the years for the brew. Usually, initially, they are skeptical due to the hazelnut. They are unsure. I explain the brewing process, how this beer was made and they agree to taste a sample. "Only a sample." As they lower the sample glass they are grabbing for the bottle as they want more.

Normally, I'm asked, "Do you sell this?" or "Why don't you open a brewery?" I laugh and say, "No, I don't sell, but I'm willing to share with my friends.".
 
View attachment 701790@Dgallo made me buy this. 😂 I’ve enjoyed most beers with Sabro in it but his comments about this beer made me buy it while I was out and saw it on the shelves. It is a tasty brew for sure!
I’m going to consider myself an influencer. I think it was the best single hop Sabro beer I’ve had lol
 
A Tripel HB. I posted in "Fermentation and Yeast" forum asking what is the best way to figure ABV for high-ABV beers. Got two polite responses but no definitive response. I used (OG-FG)X131.25 which is reportedly less accurate for high-ABV beers. When I plugged the numbers into the "Alternate" calculation on Brewer's Friend, I got over 15% ABV for an OG of 1.104 and a FG of 1.004. My beer is really strong but that's just my observation.
In any case, here's my eye-crossingly high-ABV Tripel. It's pretty good. Three weeks in the primary and two months in the bottle.

@camonick ’s 90 Shillings Clone. Though I never had the real thing, I will say this is a terrific example of a Scottish ale. Great color, head retention, and celerity. Wonder toasted bread and a slight toffee/caramel notes. I really enjoyed this one! View attachment 701827
Thank you very much!!! I’ll join you.

I kinda am lusting over that bottle opener. Where'd you get that, if you don't mind my asking?
It was a gift from @LoneTreeFarms when we did a beer trade a while back! It doubles as a weapon too b/c it’s solid! Haha It’s my favorite bottle opener and always get comments on it when people are over.

It deserves all the compliments it gets.
Cheers.
@LoneTreeFarms if you're listening, you gave pshankstar a great bottle opener and I was wondering where you got it, if you don't mind?
