I’ve got the ingredients for this and hope to make it in the next couple weeks.
Negra Modelo
Nice porter with coffee notes and a hint of coconut, a touch of bitterness, 6%. Not sweet. Tasty beer.
Had a taste of that at the brewery last week. Thought it was a nice smooth porter, but didn't really get any coconut. Neither did SWMBO.

When you have no Bratwurst, sometimes you have to improvise. Thank you Libby’s Vienna Sausage!
No improvising needed on today’s lager though. Standing big and tall is the mighty Paulaner Münchner Lager, a tasty and true malt-forward Munich lager if there ever was one. Clocking in at 4.9% ABV, Paulaner keeps hitting it out the the ball park with their outstanding lager lineup.
Paulaner has “been there,” brewing in Munich since 1634. With that sort of history and reputation, if they put it out there, you know it’s ‘gonna be good! It is! Malty and drinking a lot like the Austrian Stiegl Goldbräu I imbibed a few beers back, I’d call this a solid Helles, but I am befuddled. I jumped on the Paulaner website, and they don’t list this – but they do list a virtually identical, right down to the label artwork beer called Münchner Hell. So what is this? Dumbing down the beer name for all us dullards here in the States who can’t figure out Hell means Helles in beer vernacular! I think they might be right!
Great brew Paulaner. Even appreciated by us dull Muricans. Call it Hell, we’re not that dumb. Prost!

HM limocello digestif. I added lemon juice with the zest but probably won't do that again. Over time, adds tartness that I'd rather avoid .

Enjoying this after having a slightly light struck Stella in a hotel restaurant. At least it was only $5. This beer makes me happy.
Hb coffee cream ale after canning some peppers I pickled a peck of.
Apparently poorly made 4 yo mead. Pretty tart, don't know if it will age out but I'll stick it back and see.

Pear eau de vie, made by my father in law in the 50s or 60s. I inherited 80 something bottles of his eau de vie, at the rate we're drinking it it's gonna run out just before my 145th birthday.
Made up a mess of chili for tonight, and took my first shot at baking baguettes (I was given a baguette tray as a gift). The loaves were way too big, and I ended up with elongated versions of the crusty bread I've made. But no worries, it is still tasty, with a crunchy crust and good crumb inside. It'll go fine with the chili.
Next time, I'll make a smaller batch and roll out the dough to about the size of hammer handles.
Relaxing now with some O-Fest.

It's quite good. I don't have any others on hand to do a side-by-side, but it's authentic to my taste buds. It was $9.99/4-pk of half liter stovepipes at Total Wine, so the price was right. And cans, so not skunked.
You're living a great dream!
@ Cumberland Mtn State Park for the Bike Ride Across Tennessee. Settled down in the ŔV with my traveling buddy and a solid IPA.
Dude -- watch out for portals in the vicinity!
Popped a 22-oz bottle of the Summer 48 in honor of the yard art courtesy of the local utility locating services. Water leak (hopefully) goes away tomorrow.
Expansion valve installed and pumping down, probably overnight. 
HM hard green tea. This isn't bad. Get the subtle green tea, not too sweet. 5.2%

Hb coffee cream ale, pretty sure it's gonna kick soon..
First time seeing Schlenkerla cherry wood smoke Rotbier. Sweet smokiness, fruity, malty, a little caramel, a little hop bitterness. If you like rauchbier, I think you'll really like this one. I sure do!
HB Vienna lager
This photo should illustrate my deep commitment to the cause! It’s month number nine of the Beermeister32 reduction program, 51 lbs year to date. The daily beer drinking sacrifice is worth it in shedding the excess pounds. Gets me in prime form for future beer drinking. (Nah…!).
Seriously, I’ve been limiting myself to one daily delicious beer to write about, and then relegate the rest of my sad, lonely and pathetic evenings to diet beer. In this case, my go-to diet beer, Bud Zero!
Daughter #3 was worried a bit about old Beermeister32. “I witnessed the IPA-fest hedonism slack-jawed from earlier this year, and was worried that you might not be able to give it up Dad, er, Beermeister32!” Hey, old Dad loves his beer, but I can trim it back, yessiree! I love my family more.
Today’s indulgence is one of my perennial fav’s Bitburger Premium Pils. Is this a “classic Teutonic brew oder was?” Since 1817, 4.8% ABV, half-liter and not exactly fitting my man-size Pilsner bierglas, this is a fantastic beer. Prost!

HB Margarita. Shoot glass is bit small in volume but makes up in other ways.
After an Austin Classic 'Torchy's Tacos' evening, another Margarita with less mix and more tequila. 
The last Athletic IPA.
Didn't kick yet, hb coffee cream ale while making salsa, about 10lbs in the pot.
