What are you drinking now?

[Bramling Cross]

The kidney is out, so I’m drinking water out of this awesome new stein they gave me. I hope I get to keep it and put Panther Piss in it.

I’ve enjoyed a few nice beers in Portland, but I’m really eager to get home to some decent mild and UK brown Maybe two or three weeks.

Hope this makes sense. I’m on drugs.

Welcome back!!! Hope everything went smoothly for both donor and recipient! You gave the finest gift--kudos!

Your post made perfect sense, so tell them you need more drugs.

The grueling but delicious pace continues as we hit Decemberfest day 21, a special day reserved for a special beer. Today’s intrigue centers around Hallertauer Hopfen Cuvée, a light colored lager by Schloss Brauerei Herrngiersdorf, located in Herrngiersdorf, Germany.

I guess we know it’s a lager, so I said lager. It really doesn’t fit in the two closest categories though. It is either a high IBU Helles or a low IBU Pilsner. Sort of splits the difference between the two. Said to feature the best 4 aroma hops from the Hallertau region, this is a Bayerisches or Bavarian Beer.

Frankly, my scent sensitivity to hops is pretty sharp – I’m not picking up a huge display of aroma hops. We know with domestic IPA’s what a fleeting thing aroma hops can be, so I’m chalking this up to the advanced brewing of these beers prior to the long beer degrading shipping trip from Bavaria directly to the Beermeister32 beer hoard. Or shall I say BierHoard! The faint aroma hops are the quickest to go away, but the yummy flavor continues on strong!

5.3% ABV, decent head and lacing that looks like beach sand, this is really a terrific brew. It’s just hard to place it solidly in either category, so let’s call it a light colored medium lager and be done with it. Prost!

Great to see you back! Happy to see that you were able to go ahead with procedure. Hope you and your sister recover quickly!

Ah good old Curiosity 137 by Treehouse. That was a good one!!

Thanks! That was the name! I enjoyed the Almond/Citrus/Milk Chocolate coffee. I get those flavors, well done!

This is a Red. The 1st beer from a Maintenance Supervisor from work. Apparently, my reputation proceeds me. It's fantastic especially for a 1st brew. I get nice caramel, bitterness/maltiness is on the nose.

HB session NEIPA

Tale of opposites. Yellow Rose is a great old school beer but this 10% version is awful. Some citrus aroma but taste is straight up alcohol.

The Nitro is awesome. These guys do it right.

I’ve been there and it sucks! No rest at all in there. Good luck to you! Speedy recovery to you!!

Last night I brought this vertical to our last homebrew club meeting of 2023. 2016-2019, 16 was amazing, 17 seemed different then the others and 18 and 19 were pretty good too.

Well, it’s December 22, we’re in the 4th Turn of the Decemberfest Advent Calendar box. Black Forest beer by Kraftbierwerkstatt, since 2014 is a terrific dark lager. It’s a Schwwarzbier me thinketh. Doesn’t exactly SAY that, but that’s what it seems to me. Dark Coffee notes, clean lager presentation, 5.7% ABV, 16 IBU, great head, and interesting Zebra stripe lacing.

The lady on the can is all tatted up, showing the difference between a circa 1040 – 2000’s brew and one of today. Tatted up beer flexing women, ‘them ladies are everywhere….! Well, I’m a little old school, I like my ink on the page and my beer by the Krug!

Kraftbierkerkstatt UG, Böblingen, Germany. Prost!

Waiting to see an Urgent care. Left work today because of my eye (bring on the jokes!) All symptoms and pictures we looked at indicate shingles. Alcohol kills viruses, ergo beer = good...a lot of beer = great!

Not a doctor doctor, but some kind of doctor. Moderate alcohol is good for anxiety & much of the experience of pain is subjective!
