Football and HB. I'd be outside trimming hedges and sweeping leaves, but it's sprinkling. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Damn that's good...like the Dallas D. Hopefully they get it out of their system before the Niners next week.

Gabriel Sedlmayer the Younger is one of the giants in beer history. His England trip with Anton Dreher brought to Bavaria new concepts in malting which led to the first truly light malts and a change from the smoky brown malts used in the German brewing industry. The year was 1833.

So here we are in 2023. Gabriel’s family brewery, Spaten was and still remains one of the main players in the industry. Wow, his initials are even on the Spaten label to this day.

So why is it I take pause at even opening this beer? You read my mind. Should I open it?

OK, we’ve all had Spaten. Great beer when it is a great beer. This one, after a half-world journey to Merica is a skunker, like I feared. Actually, I’ll rate it as a half-skunker. Sort of like that German beer we all grew up from those green bottles. Had to have that smell and taste otherwise not real imports. ‘Nuff said. Please, brown bottles. DARK brown bottles…!

Had never heard of this Belgian-style wheat ale so decided to give it a try. Turns out it has been named "The World's Best White Beer" on a couple of occasions. I can't attest to that since I haven't tried them all yet but it is very tasty. Definitely get the Belgian characteristics with subtle citrus and coriander, nice body. Very good brew.

Driveway beer after cutting 3 trees down that have been threatening to fall on this area of the driveway and or the house. One of the maples was hollow in the center and almost went where I didn't want it to.

Fields of rye saison, pomegranate sour, Austin eastciders blood orange cider and Ex novo fresh hop octoberfest. Im guessing they dry hopped it with fresh hops but it is stellar.

Well looks like the Gods of fermentation decided to bless me with one "unspoiled" bottle of my plum, spiced melomel. While I was cautiously opening bottle bombs in the making, I stumbled upon one that had not re-fermented. It's amazing, crystal clear, with a nice aroma of honey and plums, with a hint of cinnamon in the background. The taste is also superb, starts with honey and plum that slowly hints at some vanilla and ends with a nice plum aftertaste.

Tasty Wit. I like it at least as much as "The World's Best White Beer" I had yesterday, maybe more.
