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!

Tried the first bottle of HB amber ale, after 2 weeks conditioning. Pilsner, Vienna, a little 2-row I had on hand, some wheat malt, and a touch of choc malt. Bittered with Citra, and Zappa late boil. Pitched Notty. I had better than expected efficiency and a bit more boiloff, so at 5.6%, I can't call it a lawnmower beer.

Imperial lawnmower beer. :p

Not too shabby.
