HB Dead Guy like beer. But this has Chico yeast starting @ 60 df. I call it Dead Dude.

Well, I didn't really notice anything like that. Maybe it is because Coors Light is so lightly hopped it didn't stand out. Just a buncha fizz! I think the beer tender at this restaurant has the regulator set a bit high - Not sure. I find I'm liking mine around 9 psi these days, this one had to be at least 12 I'd guess!
I used to work on a beer delivery truck while I was in undergrad and, boy golly, I would've been given a stern talking to by that account's salesman if I had put a keg on in that condition.

Cool to see and think about, though!
 
Looking at that last beer I “was” going to drink, you have to ask yourself – Just because you “CAN” brew beer, doesn’t mean that you “SHOULD” brew beer! Brewing beer has always been a marriage of art and science, skills, procedures and processes. Many brew houses spend a lot of time making sure the product is absolutely perfect before leaving out the shipping dock. I can only think that we possibly had a situation where trub or other crud isn’t completely separated, and the bottom of the fermenter or aging tanks is finding its way directly into the canning line. I say that is sloppy QC. Sorry folks, I call balls and strikes….

Hey, Hey, not with this yummy beer though! Ride-on 10 Hop Hazy IPA! A great beer!
Funny thing, I was listening to beer talk on the internet and they were talking IPAs. One of the real problems in the IPA making world is getting consistency on the hops. With so many different hops being used up by other brewing companies, there are shortage of various types all the time. That means if you have some IPA featuring a certain hop – you might not be able to get that hop when you were planning on brewing with it.

As a workaround, a number of brewers have taken the “multiple hop” approach – make your batch with 10 or 15 different types of hops. Still a nice hoppy IPA, but if some particular hop becomes unavailable or needs to be substituted, there are still plenty others in the batch that you really don’t notice the absence. Allows brew day to continue as planned. BREW ON !!!!!

A glass of Panther Piss Jasmine while enjoying tonight’s unraveling of how the Giants plan to squander another game against the Rockies and how Soler could be any more humiliatingly pitiful as a DH [edit*]

*Turns out choking like dogs is the right answer. It's a vital skill for teams that are committed to losing, but it's seldom taught in youth baseball these days. Sadly, I suppose the game has advanced and moved on, so you seldom see teams really embrace this kind of baseball anymore. Fortunately, the Giants are still maintaining this "archaic" way of choking like dogs in baseball.

This was the last beer one of my best friends had with me back in February. Today he would have turned 60. I brought a can to enjoy with my father in law in memory of Mike on what would be his 60th birthday.
Followed by a Fiddle Head IPA by both of us (not pictured) which is the beer I had when Mike and I had gotten together before he passed.
Cheers Mike!
 
After yesterday’s fiasco of a can full of trub, I thought I’d swing on over to the more Germanic brews, maybe the most stringent brewing and bottling procedures on the planet. Makes total sense now - with the Reinheitsgebot, German Beer Purity Law of 1516, they send you out for hanging for that right? Firing squad up against a cinder block wall? That’s the kind of QC I appreciate! No problem here, Warsteiner has been cranking out great brews like this since 1753!

Warsteiner Dunkel is just that – perfection in a can. I wanted to mention the cans – I bought this in a big 15 pack of mixed Warsteiner brews. I’m glad the message is getting through on shipping in cans. Never a problem with cans as compared to glass. Me happy!

4.8% ABV, roasty, even to the point of a slight coffee note to this Dunkel. The pefect brew to complement my Bavarian pretzel and spicy mustard! Let’s call it dinner! Prost!
