[Daschbeer]

HB Session IPA.... On the farm..

 

[day_trippr]

Going with the flow while on vacation with kids and grands. Not much to look at but Tonite, after being plied with a crapton of beers and wines, ending the night with Amaretto and dark rum.

Super effective, "Checkout Time" is minutes away.
G'nite!

Been way too long since I've posted, that's not to say that I've been neglecting beer. Had a lovely vacation spent in the Czech republic, but those pictures somehow got misplaced somewhere.
Either way, today I'm enjoying a tasty, crisp and refreshing hoppy lager from Green gold Brewing. Packed full with Slovene hops it really hits the spot in this summer heat.

I love Köstritzer Schwarzbier

 

[camonick]

Coffee.
Researching/ searching the forum trying to figure out how to use the free pound of Cashmere hops I got in a recent hops order. Also got a syringe of Belma hop extract that I have no idea how to use either. I think I’m gonna have to step out of my comfort zone and do some experimenting.

Do you know where that smoky essence comes from? Yeast? I get that from a lot of European beers. I initially thought it was due to beer being brewed in 500yr old vat....

Water feature attempt 3.

I love Köstritzer Schwarzbier

Me too. It’s a great beer and actually cheaply priced around my parts in NC. Don’t think many know what it is lol

 

[Noob_Brewer]

NODA radio haze. Decent commercialized hazy ipa. Poured from a keg at my local club. Zero head retention but still solid flavor.

Do you also taste it in German Pilsners and other German lagers? If so, I wonder if you’re tasting what I’ve discussed with others about the “German lager taste”. Some describe it as a subtle grape flavor similar to a Welch’s white grape juice. Some think it comes from decoction mashing, the use of sauergut to adjust mash pH, certain German grains, possibly yeast, and/ or a combination of all the above.

OT
Drinking a HB Irish Stout while actually making a batch of sauergut for some upcoming lagers I have planned.

 

[Rish]

Tasty wheat beer with just a touch of peach. I like it.

Another HB Irish Stout… I wish this would just go away, because I just really don’t like it.

Pretty sure it's more of the darker beers. Could be my old man taste buds mistaking as roast.

OT, for $3.50, not bad for a 110F-RF day..

This is nice. Most beers at the brewery where not what I remembered.

Visiting Colorado?

 

[BongoYodeler]

Visiting Colorado?

Yeah. First time in CO other than layovers at the Denver airport. Small family reunion with our kids and grandkids. A little mountain time (Conifer), and a little city time, (just outside Boulder).

My Sussex Bitter clone, yesterday afternoon.

Fakk this $hitt!!

OT, starting the deck work.. finally.

Our governor, who just signed into law employers DON'T have to give outside workers a 10min hydration break every 2hrs, resides in an air conditioned office. Well, the rebel I am, watch me!. Electrolyte concoction. Oh, and I threw in some vodka but please don't tell my boss. I know him, he's such a A-Hole!

Had to close the dog door to keep this old man from keeping me company.

A smoked Schwarzbier. Been a LONG time since I've had 1. Trying to decide on my next brew to place my order. A cherry-smoked Schwarzbier coming up!!!

Abbott needs to go away. Let's see HIM work in this Texas heat and humidity without a hydration break for 10 minutes! I say drink (vodka) at will, brother...

And to stay in the spirit of things... Taste-testing a no-boil Blueberry Hefeweizen. My first no-boil. With this result, why didn't I start it years ago?????
