A little more crystal malt than I like, but doesn’t taste like a 3xIPA. Groot looks happy.
What are you drinking now?

Finally fully carb’d and definitely liking quite a bit about it..except that damn last bit on the back end. It isn’t even that bad..I’ve had worse at commercial breweries but still…
Used WL yeast, figured this was an appropriate glass.

Deep inside my 3-bottle bender and review of the classic HB (Hofbrau, not Home Brew) original lager. A fine and definitive example of German Munich lager.
What can you say that hasn’t been said. Perfection in brewing, designed to be consumed by the Maßkrug, I’m barely keeping up with my sissy little pint glass.
Only possible thing I might comment on is this lighter-color-than-usual glass these are arriving in. Most of the other German breweries have figured out we need 500ml CANS to keep beer in top form. These glass shelf-sitters need darker brown glass like Ayinger, or ship them in cans please. I am detecting a hint of skunk here in a HB brew. Sacrilege, I know. Otherwise a great and classic beer. Prost!

Another one of the 12 Beers of Christmas 2022 (I hear there is still space in the 2023 beer share!). @GoodTruble, this is really good. Balanced, malty, spicy, and lightly bitter. Just really drinkable for 8%.
Thanks for supplying the California Bay Laurel Leaves. =c)
(The secret was I brewed the recipe posted in the thread) (...and used Lallemand's Farmhouse Hybrid Saison-Style yeast).

Montana IPA with some shrimp tacos. Tastes more like an APA but goes well with spicy food.

'WW' aka wedding wine.. A mango wine i made for a friend's yet to happen wedding. August will make it two years old. It's decent but not spectacular.. I added tannin and acid blend as per usual recipes however, it's a bit strange for me because ripe mangoes are neither sour nor tannic. I added a little sugar to compensate for the 'weirdness'.
I take this as a reminder to try and stay true to the fruit's natural flavor.

Early sample of a HB NEIPA that’s barely carbed. Then celebrated finishing a woodworking project with something from Other Half

Various beers with a good friend/neighbor who’s a state police officer. We get together on random week nights when he’s off. Now I need to get up in less than four hours.

Great beer - my wife and I drink a lot of it, and she doesn't drink a lot of any beer, particularly mine; great brewery too. Awesome brews, good food, video games. My son wanted to move in when we visited Sloop.
Sipping on a HB sparkling cranberry raspberry hydromel. May the fourth be with you.
HB German small beer. 1.013 OG/1.008 FG/0.65% ABV. Recipe still needs a lot of tweaking; I think it is too small to be good:
Starting Cinco de Mayo a day early. Margaritas on the rocks. Cazadores reposado, Cointreau, and simple syrup, shaken.
These go down too easily.
Tomorrow: wife and I making a taco bar for the two of us. And more margs. Been a long week, we're having a respite.

Nice Kölsch brewed up in Cullman, AL.
So good.
Sweetwater 420 Strain G13 IPA, just a darn good beer. I don't know about the G13 but a Stivia onzie went well with it.

HB smoked porter. A little low on the carbonation but tasty.
Dogfish Head 90 Minute Imperial IPA. No photo. Y'all know what it looks like.
Num num.
I think this Abbey Weizen was from @Funky Frank. 12 Beers of Christmas 2021. It’s really amazing.
Final Gravity is our “dudes day out” when we visit the in laws in RVA. Just a great tap room, not to far from Short Pump and not like the breweries in Scott’s Addition (not that they are bad, just a different vibe there)
Used to live 2 miles from Original Gravity. Was my 1st local hb shop. I really enjoy the taproom too. Much calmer vibe than most venues in RVA. Scott’s Addition was too young for me 10 yrs ago
Long day in the lab with managers.
Time to head to the bar-n
Love this restaurant Collab with Channel Marker. Captain Max X2
Nice view
Another Collab with local whiskey guy and Sloop. Dessert

Damn this is delicious and clean!
Yeah that was one of their best anniversary beers! I’m glad you liked it!
80° here today so why not have a winter IPA?
Boston lager
Relaxing in the den with a couple of brews. Enjoying this one from the 12 beers of Christmas. Well done!
A seriously green quad, no way near ready. Brewed in January, needs much more time. But it's in a keg and I can't help myself. Better take it out of the fridge and stick it in a closet or else there will be little left at the 1 year mark.
