What are you drinking now?

[hopfenstopfen]

I have 3 places local that really put out amazing NEIPAS (Unified Beer Works, Warbler Brewing, and Fidens who really just blew the hell up in popularity)?but comparatively The hopfly beers were every bit as good if not better than Sloop juice bomb or Fiddle head.

He did send me two beers from NA, I’ve had the bliss so far. It was good but not what I was expecting with all the hype surrounding it. Thought it was better than average but not on the upper level. I still have one more. Maybe I’ll have that now

Heard of Fidens, watched reviews on youtube. Something is up with NA, lots of chalkiness. Ask me a year ago & I would have said they were just below Trillium/Other Half. Lately, they’re all over the place.

I usually like New Anthem for neipa. Burial does many styles well, look out for their lagers. I Like a lot of Heist’s stuff out of Charlotte. Wilmington brewing has some nice beers too.

We’re flying into Charlotte, but will be splitting time between Wilmington and Winston-Salem. I had some IPA called Monkeysphere when we were there a few years ago

Nice! New Anthem & Wilmington Brewing are two of my local favs. I’ve not been there, but check out Red Oak lager Haus east of Greensboro if you have the time. At very least the beer hall is beautiful. Seems up you alley. Enjoy your time in NC.

Thx @orionol73 this is awesome

@RCope, you got the fruit thing down! Not too acidic and very approachable. Unique background, possibly the hop additions. Very well done and this could easily be sold for $20/bottle!

Agreed on NA being a little hit or miss right now with the IPAs. For me Ive had some great ones but also some that had a little hop burn for my taste. They are churning out so many now and have two locations in wilmington, Im thinking its growing pains. For me, Flying Machine is my favorite out of wilmington. I don't live in wilmington though so my sample size on flying machine, NA, and wilmington brewery are small and based on what I can get in my area.

Cracked open a bottle for a carb test of HB Yoopers Oatmeal Stout I brewed a few weeks back. I was shooting for two volumes. It's almost there and while a little young this may be one of the best oatmeal stouts I've had.

No, darn it. The store didn't have that one.

That chicken is really hoping you'll share.

Bummer - one has brett and the other doesn't. I forget which was which, but the brett one is nice.

Just cool water right now, after getting my first Covid shot. Keeping an eye on any symptoms that might pop up. Bit of a sore arm, but that's normal.

Transfers went very well yesterday, and the Grapefruit IPA dry hop is starting to drop already. Seems that there's still some separation happening as well, but absolutely no action in the airlock. Cool! My Cooper's Easter Ale is really clear, and I might bottle by the end of the month. Nice!

This one (Robert) is a regular saison. The other (Jannemie) has the brett.

Just opened the 1st bottle of my last brew: hoppy blonde made with mosaic, it is awsome, maybe one of my best brews so far.

Buddy wanted to celebrate 4-20....this is as close as I'd get.

Checking out Pinthouse new location with an Electric Jellyfish

4/20 in full effect

 

[Noob_Brewer]

VERY good NEIPA. Citra and Galaxy combo with zero hop burn from the hops. Who doesn't like a nice citra/galaxy bomb? When done well, this combo always shines IMO. Hopfly's grain bills for IPAs are always pretty good overall and supportive to let the hops "do their thang" and be the stars. "sun drenched" is also a great name for an IPA lol.

 

[derekp83]

I almost bought a 12 pack the other day, for research purposes. Should I regret it? What do you like in it?

good balance, very drinkable, soft and a touch sweet malt flavor. Goes great with mixed nuts. Affordable as it gets and overall a quality house beer.

Another one from the @Noob_Brewer care package! Quite an earthy one that I really dig. Wasn’t expecting this profile with Simcoe Citra and Galaxy but it’s solid
