Count yourself lucky, I coated the inside of my freezer with a the occasional eisbomb during my bottling career.
I remembered it before it fully froze, luckily, I normally put a timer on but I forgot this time. Still, an interesting experience. I have kegs but I think some beers are nicer from bottles.
 
Australian Sparkling Ale that resolutely refuses to drop clear.

My brut IPA is finally clear after six months in the keg. Not sure what the problem was since previous batches have not had this problem. Of course it'll probably kick on the next pour.
The fault is my own and brought about by a mixture of hubris, laziness, and curiosity. It's been forever since I've used the Whitbread dry strain and the first pitch indicated that it was as quick to finish and flocc as the UK strains that I keep year round (Fullers and T. Taylor). On a whim, I decided to keg this batch w/o a crash and decided I may as well skip the finings while I'm at it, just to see. Well, I now know that I should've crashed it and fined it.

Edit: Your remark prompted me to wonder if perhaps I have another floating dip tube ball that has cracked and sunk. Thanks for making me think.

A home brewed Helles Bock, called Materhorn Maggie, named after my grand daughter Maggie. Very tasty summer beer - perfect for today's hot and humid toaster.
Really tasty Helles Bock. Perfect lunch - a BLT with garden fresh tomato & homebrew.

Prost Kölsch.

Found a variety pack in Albertsons and remembered that @camonick has been posting Prost beers the last few days. This is a seriously good Kölsch.
All the ones from them that I’ve had are very good beers.
My pack had kolsch, dunkel, Pilsner and a “summer lager”
 
Trying to get the swelling down, 1 ibuprofen, 1 allergy pill, 1 beer... the song doesn't go like that but I hope it helps. Hb hazy

Nothing to mess with. I've been stung dozens of times through the years with no ill effects. Then the last time I was stung my hands swelled up to the point I couldn't close them to make a fist. I got all blotchy on my torso, and started wheezing. My doctor has advised me to carry an epipen. Be careful.
