HB wheat with Abbaye yeast. Nice subtle Belgian notes.
Someone was hiding in the vegetable crisper. This is holding up still amazingly well

One great thing about dieting is that I get to drink in some of the best diet N/A beers out there, one’s I’d never have given a second glance. N/A is for non-alcohol, not “Not Applicable!" Also some might argue the latter when we are talking diet beers!
Today’s snack is a couple Corona N/A’s, some Salsa Fresca and crunchy (chip substitute) Celery. I’m getting all this flavorful goodness for a total of only 120 calories. Who says dieting is suffering, this stuff’s great!
Corona has the flavor nailed on this one, and by the time you salt the rim and squeeze that lime into beer, er, Cerveza, it really is hard telling this one from the heavier Corona next of kin. I like it!
Funny thing about Mexican flavor in beers – or what we often perceive as the Mexican flavor really does come from the salt and lime treatment. Not long ago, we were eating a bunch of tacos and Mexi-cuisine at the Beermeister32 household, and I forgot the Corona. Never fear, let’s use the Coors light I have in abundance. Hey, Hey, back in the saddle – Tasted a lot like Corona with salt and a lime! Score!
I’m not used to the wimpy fill line on these bottles though. Is that really 12 ounces? Maybe I’m just used to my own bottling efforts, I try to eliminate headspace. Or could it be beer equivalent of shrinkflation? Nah, they wouldn’t do that to us. Right? ¡Arriba, abajo, al centro, pa' dentro!

Homebrew English Brown Ale (Sorry, first time posting picture)
A couple Proper-sized pints of hoppy Pale Ale while frying polenta. Just like grandma used to make! Well, not mine, but someone’s!
Wife worked today and I was in charge of getting something cooked up for dinner. I felt uninspired so we went out for a bite and a beer, (wine for the Mrs.). She had the steak bites, and we split a side of fries.
I had three chorizo and goat cheese tacos, and a DTLA, (downtown LA), west coast ipa from Creature Comforts Brewing.

That's one big pint
When/if I ever start brewing again a RIS is top on my list. Something big and something to age.
So brew it now so it will be ready when you're ready to get going again. You'll need something to drink when you kick back into gear.That's one big pint

That was my plan. Brew this to age. Lutra Kveik yeast proved to me 1 week is just fine. Still trying to wrap my head around it. So clean. Smooth. Nothing harsh.That's one big pint

Could be trouble at work tomorrow...
Would like to know how long you aged and how it came out ?
I think @ThirstyPawsHB has also recently brewed a stout that he fermented with Kveik, (Lutra iirc?).
Ohhh, I thought he was referring to the hazy IPA, but now it makes sense
wow I’m def going to try that out with a stout! Lutra sounds like the way to go based on it being the most neutral (at least what I heard) but I haven’t lutra myself yet, local HBS has been out but it’s in my cart to order online. Voss is citrusy and pairs beautifully with a refreshing IPA…though I wonder how voss would pair with a black/brown IPA

From last night
Just got home from the overnight shift, and a HB Italian Pils. I have to say, this is a fave and I can see it being a go to summer beer. And, it has been in the keg for about 2 weeks and has mellowed considerably. If I was smart and had better self control, I'd let it sit, but hey, it sits in the glass, right? LOL
Here is the fermentation. 4/30 - 5/6 but basically finished 5/3. So yeah! Kegged on the 6th. 4days aged and I couldn't be happier. Smooth, no alcohol aftertaste. Fermented between 85-90. Chocolate. Pretty incredible experience.
Edit... sorry I have the RiS on my mind!
OT, Lunch Kombucha
Heist Brewing? That’s near my neck of the woods. They have some good beers & some other beers also.
TG is a great brewery & Sue ought to be considered a classic by now.

A nice and simple HB Pale Ale
SS chocolate stout. First taste of this after the sour I had earlier was perceived as very sweet! After a few sips, it settled into its usual deliciousness. Really like this beer. (Looks like I had some schmutz on the lens!)
IDK IPA from Idaho’s oldest microbrewery, Highland’s Hollow. They’re only a few miles away from us but we hadn’t been there in several months. Picked up one of their widemouth growlers. Good beer.
Might get lucky and see the Northern Lights. Extra bonus mosquitoes are low
