I’m exactly the same way. Just something about clarity that makes me happy.I drooled a lil bit. I’m a sucker for any crystal clear lager.
I’m always curious what a black cat ale is exactly? It looks fantastic and totally something I would order.Homebrew Black Cat Ale after work today.

Let’s see the brew rig man! Gotta get after it, seems like work until the sweet nectar hits the lips!I should check out that recipe. It's one of those "in the moment" beers on draft and fresh when it doesn't get any better. I haven't brewed in years as I went all in AG for a while and stopped at the rig. By that time a lot of variety appeared here. Altho one of my fav recipes was a simple hefe. I want to jump back into again with big stouts and lagers
OT: B's beat down and some RI beahs

That's what stalled me. I got the mill, pots, kegs and pumps. All the equipment but stalled on best way to build a rig. Before the rig I was lifting lauter tons and dumping stuff manually. Plus the 5 gal of brew sitting there. That's why I'd like to do something like heavy stouts. My basement has a pile of bottles waiting.Let’s see the brew rig man!

One of my favorite German styles. Have you ever had Samichlaus?Winter Ride Doppelbock 7.5%.View attachment 711332
I just saw that Clausterhaus N/A yesterday for the 1st time. Don't think I've ever bought a N/A beer. May come to that one day...But not yet!...Not yet!
Is bud light really that colorless? I don't think we even have lagers that pale over here.
Agreed. The Heiney 0.0 is damn good for what it is.They're not bad...the best that tastes like a beer is probably the Heineken 0.0.

Often during the week, I’ll have 1 or 2 homebrews then finish the night with a 0.0 or two.
No never heard of that. Sounds good! Yeah Doppelbock my favorite German style then Helles bock then Pils. Doppelbock was the 1st German beer I tried when I was sent to Germany, Aventinus. Been in love with the style ever since (1983). I went into a local guesthaus near the base and this German girl asked me " You want a Doppelbock mit a Limon...One of my favorite German styles. Have you ever had Samichlaus?
A shandy here and there is nice, but I LOVED them in Munich. I spent about a week there in July one year and must have drank my weight in them a few times over in the gartens. It was like the absolutely perfect concoction for the heat. I never tried it in a dark beer though. Hmmm, now you've got me thinking!No never heard of that. Sounds good!

Dark beer she says. I was like Germans drink lemonade with beer!!
. Been doing it ever since. Having Shandys 25 years before it became a thing here.
It's very good, I thought it was a weird crazy thing but I drink it like that all the time. I love a plain cold Doppelbock or dark sweet malty beer. But having it like a shandy is my go to. 1/4 glass of sweet lemonade with 12-16 oz dark beer. Yum! I've had a few people who tried and loved it and some hated it. To each his own I guess ! Not bad with an extra bitter either! It's just a Shanty! Yeah I went to Munich during Oktoberfest, Facshing, and to the Christmas markets several times. I was stationed in Schweinfurt, not too far from Wurzburg. I didn't want to leave! 2 years was not long enough!A shandy here and there is nice, but I LOVED them in Munich.
