Beautiful evening and hardly anyone here in the campground. Hopefully it stays this way

If I can get to a release where I can get more than 4 beers, I’ll certainly send you some. For some reason I feel I owe you a care package anyway lol
I hear it's getting tough. It's weird. Down in RI there's some good bottle shops. It is well over an hour to get down there. I may be going on a Maine run very soon. Got Mott the Lesser bottled waiting for me. This year they caught an infection in the barrels and didn't a limited blend
 
Back home from vacay last night. Spending today putting everything up and cleaning the camper. Enjoying a HB crispy hydromel. This batch didn’t carb up as well as the 71B yeast, but it is most certainly a better overall product.

Nice chalk pencil. I appreciate people who focus on the contents as opposed to the labeling.

The reason for the chalk pen are two fold. One being that I’m not really that creative of a person, and the other being that I hate getting labels off of bottles when I reuse them lol

On Topic, a classic.

HB Weissbier after my grandson’s football game.

The North (Andrew’s team) beat the South 28-21 on a 90° day. The zebras called numerous hydration timeouts in the 4th quarter. Andrew is signed to MSU Northern to play as a wide receiver. The coaches decided to play him as a defensive back. In small high school football everyone plays both sides of the ball so he did well with two INTs that would have been TDs and two deflected passes, one of which would have been a TD, and several tackles and assists. He was also the North team MVP. Pretty good way to end a high school career.

Excellent!! Congratulations Andrew!!
 
Sycamore has a reputation in the Charlotte area of being the “basic white girl and frat boy” brewery, but this is their flagship beer that you can find on most wal mart shelves in the area. It’s a great example of a modern West Coast IPA that is bitter and juicy with a smallish malt presence. I wish I had an idea of the ingredients to work on a clone when I get the brewery fired back up.

First shot at brewing a West Coast Pale Ale. Very happy with the turnout. A little light on color, but damn, it's tasty. White Labs 001 😏
Been on a WCIPA kick lately trying different combos and I like to brew lighter WC IPA (and PA). Don’t know why, but I like my hoppy HB’s to be as light as I can. Odd, I know.

I have to say, if I couldn't see the color while drinking it, I don't think I could tell it is as light as it actually is. Solid malt backbone. Maybe a touch of crystal malt would help, but I also don't want to mess with a good recipe and make it worse!
