I thought the Guinness was pretty decent. How was the Athletic Octoberfest? The only issue I had with N/A's was, in general, there's a lot of added carbs. I wish they could make a 3% beer taste/feel like a 10%er. Now that would be money!
Drinking some caffeine at the moment since I’m working. This is what the hard lemonade looks like after adding in 50 ounces of raspberries and some potassium sulfate. I love the color and can’t wait to do the final steps and keg on Monday! I’m definitely looking forward to this one! Thanks @BongoYodeler and @ThirstyPawsHB for letting me pick your brain on this!
The Athletic was unfortunately my least favorite of the bunch. It came across the most thin and sharp tasting, and had this really prominent raw grain flavor that I found distracting. I usually kind of like a bit of that in some lagers, but I’m guessing without the alcohol to balance it just sort of becomes super apparent. I know they have to really push the pH low on these for food safety as well, so I’m wondering if maybe that also enhanced any of those flavors. It definitely wasn’t bad my any means, just not great relative to the others.

These are very well done. Picking up a Triple/Quad/Mead stuff.
Out back with the last bottle of HB Sticke Alt. Would definitely brew that again.
Found a Schlenkerla, lurking in the back of the beer fridge. Been there since winter. It has held up quite well!

I've consumed a lot of NA beers. I find freshness REALLY makes a difference, especially with the "hoppy" styles.
Having said that Guinness 0 is by far my favorite NA beer. It's so close to the original it's crazy.
It’s 4:00 so it’s not really day drinking, right?
Back at RV after bike ride sharing hops inspired recovery beverage with my Bro.
Sour Ale...not sure about this..
Half-a-liter (plus a little more) of Frankenweizen's Monster to wash down the pizza I ordered. This stuff goes good with pizza!
I've always felt beer should have its own action figure!
HM ginger beer. About half way through this glass I thought "I wonder how this would be mixed with some HM hard green tea?" It's a pretty tasty blend, a bit of sweet from the tea, a little heat along with the ginger flavor.
A/C was a 90% success. She's blowing cool/cold now. Tested in the 97F heat. Warms up a tad when idle but good enough for government purposes. Best part, I get my car back. 
That's 10 AM in Maui though...
12 pints of salsa, not all pictured, and a fiddlehead... I'm not drinking the salsa, just the fiddlehead.
I bought this beer on a lark, primarily based on the funny label. Little did I know, this fantastic Pilsner is a 2024 World Beer Cup Silver Award winner! Great job Paperback Brewing Co., Glendale, California!
This is REALLY a fantastic Pilsner. Paperback is calling Capiche? an Italian Pilsner, I’m not sure where that is coming from, but it matches this hilarious label to a tee! 5.5% ABV, this has a bit more body (maybe THAT’S a reference to something else… !)
Anyway, the Mafia theme is a crack up, it does have more body than most and is hoppy like a Pilsner should be. Maybe a bit cloudier than most Pilsners, but with a tag line “It’s a Pilsner You Won’t Refuse” all I can say is Fuhgeddaboudit!
Go out and find this one while it is still on the shelves, it is worth it! Salute!

SN O'fest Festbier
I need to get me a selection of Oktoberfest beers, only had a couple this year and I feel like I need to step it up. I got this one and it didn't impress me.
Live there or visiting? Lived in Kahului for 7/8th grade.
Pre-gaming for a high profile VB match.

Agreed, Guinness was by far the closest to the real deal. I try and always keep it on hand. Here’s another one that I’ve been enjoying and does a fairly good job of recreating the original.
Just got back a few days ago. Jet lag is a real bear at my age.
Non-Non Alcoholic HB WCIPA
VB match going well..so far. But it's not over until the fat lady sings and I've seen a lot of fat ladies in my day!
Out for Mexican
This was delicious! Tart, fruity, funky and effervescent.

Both yours? That's a full night of drinking for me.
Cool name, nice can
HB Tango and Yuzu peel dry hopped imperial rice lager. I have crushed 2/3 of this keg in about 2 weeks, it's absolutely insanely delicious.
From a process and dialed-in-ness perspective it might be the "best made" beer I've ever produced. I've been jokingly referring to it as "ride-on mower beer" because at 7.4% if you have four in quick succession you won't be pushing anything except maybe rope.
I'll share the recipe tomorrow maybe.

Having one of the few HB amber ales left.
The Sticke Alt kicked yesterday, and I just have those ambers, and a few Baltic porters I'm saving. I have a batch of blonde ale conditioning, but those won't be ready for another week or two.
I will soon encounter a break in the pipeline. Oh noes! I might have to go buy some beer.
I do have a few O-Fests and Guinness Extra Stouts in the fridge. I'll be brewing again this Sunday.
I hope I can survive the coming weeks.

As they say, “Life’s Simple Pleasures are the Best!” So it is with one of the world’s finest Pilsners, Ayinger Bavarian Pils. No doubt about it, I can be one dyed-in-the-wool Lagerhead. Don’t get me wrong, I love all the Ales out there too – sometimes though it is like a box of chocolates – all good, but which one do you chose? Today it’s Pilsner!
Ayinger has been cranking out top quality beers like this since 1878. A couple years ago I was proudly drinking the 500 ml size Ayinger Pils, now I can only find their Pils in the miniscule and baby-ish 11.2 ounce wimpified bottles. What gives? I feel like somebody hates us! More likely, the vendors are hoarding it all for their thirsty selves!
5.3% ABV, terrific taste and 1516 compliant, what more needs to be said? This is one of the finest Pilsners on the market, grab it when it’s available. Grab it ALL, then go over to the next town and clean out their supply, it’s THAT GOOD! Prost!
