What are you drinking now?

[MaxStout]

Having a HB oatmeal stout. Our 1" of overnight snow melted today, but still blustery outside. I'll stay inside with a couple homebrews, thankyouverymuch.

I want to remind you all that today is Give to the Max Day. With that in mind, I'll be happy to accept donations. You can PM me and I'll give you my PayPal info.

O'fest Märzen from America's oldest brewery. Pretty good.

 

[ClaudiusB]

Beer break I am taking it easy today.

 

[Rish]

HB stout. I added a little toasted marshmallow syrup. Interesting, tasty combo.

So following last night’s journey to Southwest and Mexican Lagers, I get a bunch of grief from the Peanut Gallery, namely Beer-Loving Daughter # 1 and Beer-Loving Daughter #3. Seems that the old Beermeister32 left out one key element in enjoying Mexican brews – “No lime?”

Seems my daughters are now beer experts. Amateurs, they thought they’d catch me. Today’s redux is a Modelo Especial with limes. So next time you ask, ask me the right way, kids… ¿sin lima? Ha!

Modelo has been brewing this since 1925, advertised as a Pilsner-Style lager with a clean finish. Any time I hear the word “Style” in a description, my ears stick straight up – It usually means “styled like” whatever they are describing. If it is a Pilsner, I say call it a Pilsner. If it is a Pilsner “type” brew, then I suppose the “Style word” describes it adequately. No worse than the typical American adjunct lagers loaded up with corn and rice products to raise the ABV, lower the flavor and drop production costs. I can’t tell, here, there is no list of ingredients.

It’s a straight up BMC-type lager in my book, always great getting the limey fruity thing going on with Mexican beers. Tonight I’m enjoying a few spicy Chicharrones, but just a few, trying to cut back on the salt, but these are sooo good!

HB JAOM I made 3/22. Flavored with Apex Italian Blood Orange flavor. Pretty decent now.

Well it has started snowing and looking at the bleak, dreary, cold weather made me wish for something warm, cosy and slightly stronger.
Andechs Doppelbock Dunkel seemed to fit that bill very nicely.

I just brewed 5 strong beers in a row for coming winter. 2 different old ales, imperial stout being aged on oak, wee heavy being aged on oak/homage to Backwoods Bastard, and my annual barleywine. I have one more in the works before the end of the year - another imperial stout with chocolate/homage to Foothills Sexual Chocolate

Not sure if this qualifies:

Visiting the Grands in Florida for a few weeks. They know my weaknesses and bought accordingly.

I have one of those the top comes off of and its a hidey for stuff. I keep keys in it for certain things

 

[loganklaas]

A little HB Raspberry Hard Lemonade. I’m making another batch tomorrow after work.

Drinking Original Pattern Capo Di Birra Pilsner. A very good Pilsner

 

[Bramling Cross]

We got my favorite kind of snow today, the kind that doesn't stick. Good excuse to make soup.

A glass of classic NW-style IPA while I prep my water for tomorrow's brew day--a Vienna. All of your gorgeous Vienna posts have had my tongue wagging, so I thought I'd hop on that train, too. Can't wait!

And a second carb check on the second batch of that Munich lager thing. One can never be too sure, right?

 

[Bramling Cross]

Heresy! The indolent heathen colonist poured the UK-style IPA into the silly US-style IPA glass because he was too lazy to grab a nonic pint glass.

 

[MaxStout]

Another blustery day to stay inside with a HB oatmeal stout.

 

[Rish]

Aldi alleged festbier. Drinkable but I don't get festbier character on my less than sophisticated palate.

If a glass holds a hefty amount of beer and I can drink out of it without spilling on myself, thats the sign of a good glass. Little else matters .

What better way to wrap up the Friday work week than with a heavyweight – a hefty and delicious 8.7% ABV Sublimely Self-Righteous Black IPA from Stone Brewing!

Since we’ve been talking Mexican beers this week, Stone is right next door in the San Diego area right? Well, close by proximity but miles apart in brewing styles. I know Stone has a Mexican-style brew, Cerveza Buenaveza Salt & Lime Lager. “This ain’t that..!” The bulk of their production is tasty Ales and IPA’s, and this Black IPA is indeed a treat!

Last chapter on Black IPAs I mentioned something about these being re-named or re-classified as Cascadian Dark Ales, - makes more sense me thinketh, especially considering the grammatical error of calling something a “Black India Pale Ale”. I guess they must think we’re all a bunch of stupid drunk dullards. Wish this thing would get straightened out. Maybe we are!

Breakfast stout while I prepare dinner.

I love breakfast for dinner.

 

[Rish]

Tasty stuff!

 

[Bramling Cross]

I love breakfast for dinner.

And a lot easier to clean up.

When I was a kid, when my Mom asked me what I wanted for my birthday dinner I often asked for breakfast for dinner. She always would ask me, "Are you sure that's what you want?" I thought I was being nice because it was really simple and the whole family seemed to enjoy it and she just wanted to be certain that I didn't want something more fancy.

It wasn't until I was much older and started cooking for myself that I realized what a PITA the Great American Death Breakfast is to make and then clean up. I've always felt kinda guilty about that ever since--especially doing it to her on a week night. What a jerk move!

It doesn't have to be complicated.

Sometimes when my wife and I can't decide what we want for dinner, we drag out the electric griddle and make bacon, eggs and pancakes. And a big glass of orange juice. Yeah, it's a mess to clean up, but don't care.

I'm a huge fan of "brinner", but The Spousal Unit is agin' 'em - because of the bazillion calories

Big day tomorrow. Half day. Grill day. Football and volleyball against Wisconsin.

 

[RCope]

HB Cold IPA, a trendy beer that I really enjoy. Clean, clear,

crisp bitterness; Citra, Strata, Superdelic and Amarillo, what's not to like?

If you ever find it necessary to have me sit quietly in one spot for two-three hours, hand me a box of those and an air fryer. Mix in a box of Q-tips and I'm basically trapped.

Tis the season

 

[BongoYodeler]

2019 Parabola and The Andy Griffith Show, with guest star Buddy Ebsen. Yep, that’s what my Friday nights are like now.

 

[Tony B]

A half pint of my HB, not so hazy PA with 15 minutes left in the boil of a kölsch at half past midnight.

 

[RumOnTheDocks]

Forgive the improper glassware. Enjoying an Erdinger Weissbier while waiting on lunch.

 

[NotSure]

• 0.1 kg Special W
• 50 g Vic Secret Hops (added at 30 and 5 minutes)
• 50 g Sultana Hops (added at 30 and 5 minutes)
• US-05 yeast

Packaged around 23 litres of 3.9% ABV at around 70 IBU

Back home from work and 2hrs of driving through the absurdity that's Austin (had a jumper and bomb threats). Starting the game and starting the grill..

HB Munich Helles. Actually pretty tasty and nice feel. Me? A lager HB'er??? My how times have changed.

 

[bailey mountain brewer]

Hb neipa, getting ready to have some company.

 

[pshankstar]

Was in NYC earlier this week. Nothing special as far as beers go but finally back home and enjoying some goodies.
