We lost our oldest dog today. She was almost 17.5 years old and we knew her time with us wouldn’t be for much longer. Thankfully it was quick and she was surrounded by her family of two and four legged members.
What are you drinking now?

Thank you, @Hoppy2bmerry for introducing me to a new drink! I had never heard of this before and was surprised when I searched it to find references from tape to a Scope and Scotch mixed drink!
When I added "hot" to the search things got better! I'll definitely try this with my next brew.Nightcap of strawberry jam mead.
The straw hat? Deal! I'd even throw in a few bottles of hb.
Edit: I'm under strict rules placed in my prenup that I can't trade certain items including cars, dogs, children, or wife. But there is nothing in there about hats.
Sorry to read that sad news, our critter companions are part of the family.
Coffee.
Inside on a hot, humid day, with some Sangria. Merlot, elderflower liqueur, pomegranate juice, simple syrup, berries and sliced apple.

Ughhh, this will be gone quick after dealing with some crap... but still trying to keep the improper glassware going. Pic doesn't quite show the molson Canadian logo on the glass though.
My first Bavarian dark lager and, man, am I glad I came across it! Nice and malty, good body, maybe a touch of coffee at the end. Really good beer for a brewery that has only been around since 1878!
Hb best bitter on hand pull.
HB Ordinary Bitter, from a Corny keg.
More meetings in office. Held til rush hour. Traffic locked up so figured treehouse diversion. Even worse bedlam. Option B Hopothocary Ales

I agree, mmmm peaberry!
Also, I have some PNG beans as well and they were tasty!!!
Peaberry is my wife's jam, so I hope I can roast it to her liking.

Just a few bottles of HB ESB left. Had a good run. Will brew this again, with a few tweaks. I over-carbed this one, around 2.5 vols. I give it a vigorous pour and let it off-gas a few minutes and it tastes fine. Next time will keep to about 2.0 vols.
A glass of the ordinary bitter I kegged on Tuesday while I clean up after a brew day. Included in this remarkable photograph is my very own Prof. Bramling Cross' Finest Kind Patented Hooptie Home Beer Engine for Expeditious Homebrewers of Reputable Moral Hygiene. I'm all about the strictest adherence to traditional methods in my brewery.
Happy IPA day. HB NEIPA, DDH
HB Lemon-Lime Hefe
Troegs at local watering hole... look at them legs.

HB Scottish ale. Drug it out almost 18 months but this is the last one.
Very tasty.
Very tasty.
And a glass of Panther Piss with jasmine rice.
Today I’m taking it easy with a Bud Zero, 0.0% N/A lager. This has become my go-to diet beer lately.
I’m getting ramped up to drop another 15 lbs in the near future, so I’m getting my head wrapped around the idea I need to drink more of the lighter beers and less of the heavies.

I've been the only person holding the fort in a group of one for the past 6 months against a party of six.. Making good progress but we've had our moments. Keeping my patience and visiting local breweries help. The cavalry arrived 3 weeks ago. A buddy I've known forever joined the team. It will be good to have another voice. He never loses it. Today he lost it. In engineering this was a sadistic good day.
Celebratory beers. Pizza ran out
Curiosity 142 (left) Very Pink (right)
Curiosity 142 is a 6.4% lager aggressively hopped with Citra, Amarillo, and Nelson. It contains all of the bright hop character you would expect from a modern translucent West Coast-style IPA with the smooth body and texture of a Tree House lager. It's wonderful and hits the spot on hot days like today.
Having earned its place in our core lineup, it only made sense to amplify Pink’s unique profile. With an elevated malt base and judicious hop regimen, the potential of this new varietal continues to reveal itself. A confectioner’s dream, Very Pink explodes with notes of bubblegum, sweet fruit, and sugared grapefruit. Underneath this canopy we taste additional flavors of ripe mandarin and summer berries. Much like a sampling of exotic candies, this hop is at once familiar—yet singularly intriguing. Our infatuation with this unique varietal continues to grow, and once you take a sip we think you’ll see why. Enjoy!

When I needed to quickly get into excellent shape because of the kidney donation thing I tackled the problem by buying a Kolsch stange. It's basically a highball glass (my apologies to the entire city of Koln for the grievous slander). That became my new beer portion...well, mostly.
Additionally, having decided that any ape could throw barley and hops at a recipe until it tasted great, I punked out of the IBU/Imperial Wars rather early and started exploring the 1.035-1.045 gravity band as a new brewing challenge. I've never looked back! It's so much fun trying to coax tiny little beers into delicious things that punch way above their weight. In that respect, I was lucky that I had a fairly wide portfolio of wee little beers to brew. If that interests you, feel free to shoot me a PM. I have recipes and ideas that I'd be happy to share.
