Rauchbier is my favorite. I have one in the fermenter now, with both beechwood and alder. First time I'm making rauchbier followed by a closed transfer. I have high hopes.
What are you drinking now?

Rock Wall Brewing Belgian wheat ale with orange and coriander. Very subtle orange but I don't get the coriander at all, a little hop bitterness. It's okay. Aldi $7.99.

HB wheatwine (and this is really, really good):
This is the recipe I used for the batch that’s on tap. I’m still dialing in my process for smaller (4 gallon) batches at the city house, so my efficiency was lower and my OG was .040 instead of the predicted .050. Over sparged and ended up with a little more 4.7% beer instead of a little less 5.9% beer.
It’s a fizzy, yellow beer, quite lager-like, with enough more flavor than generic, BMC type beers to make it interesting. Well, to me at least.

Never tried that yeast but lagers are getting more appealing as I get older. One of my first ever brews was an ale version of Budweiser. It came out really good. Simple recipe, 4 or 5 ingredients tops.This is the recipe I used for the batch that’s on tap.

Pain killers in the pill and 2 versions of the liquid kind. Nice to be in the HT for the first time in a year.

I've made smoked porters before but was disappointed - lack of smoke. This is my first Rauchbeir and I am impressed - this is what I expected smoked beer to taste like. I am looking up recipes now - beefwood and alder seem to be a good choice and cold smoking your own malt also appears to be a good alternative to some of the disappointing commercial smoked malts out there.
What a coincidence! HB smoked porter.
SRV and HB Raspberry Hard Lemonade
Another. Not leaving this HT tub until I can walk again or drown trying! Back is murder....
Be disappointed no longer!
Såinnhus
Pricey, especially when you get 10 pounds and factor in shipping, but worth it. Their Sainnhus malts (including German beechwood-smoked) tend to be pretty powerful in terms of smoke -- use at 10% of the grist or less -- while their other smoked malts are much milder (50% or more). Taste is amazing.
Or, if you just want a little, and don’t need the full selection:
Sugar Creek German Rauchmalz
(if they’ve got what you need, Great Fermentations is a pretty good online source for homebrew stuff.)

This is good.
Belated St. Patty’s Day dinner because we both worked. My belly is happy.

Oh man, Mooseheads. It might still be the last independent and truly Canadian-owned full-size brewery left, but some batches can be skunky like 10 Coronas! Definitely a beer one must keep ice cold!

Lime Clamato and Faxe Extra ale. A refreshing sip after getting my WCIPA into the keg! Should have bought more.

I use 34/70 for almost all my lagers. It is even supposed to stay pretty clean at warmer temperatures. There’s a thread around here about that. I have a Pilsner plugging away with it right now. I usually don’t even do a diacetyl rest with it.
Kölsch brewed up in Cullman, AL. Tasty and refreshing. Not as clear as other kölsch beer I've bought or brewed, not that there's anything wrong with that.
My ex brought over a few beers from her local brewery when she dropped by to greet the dog.
Wasn't a huge fan of this one, felt a bit bland to me.
This one was nice, refreshing and quite crushable, would certainly get it again.
This was a very tasty stout, balanced flavours and a very pleasing mouthfeel. As a sucker for darker beers I will certainly be getting this one again.

This is to fruity for me, overbearing grapefruit.
I have had great success cold smoking my own malt. Totally worth it.
Irish Death. I really like this beer. I think one reason I like it is that the brewery makes it clear that it isn’t brewed to a particular style. They just call it ”a smooth, dark, ale”. For 8% it is pretty smooth.
Thank you, it's one a really enjoy.
This is goooood.
