I'm still hiding a half ounce of Van Winkle I have left because it's about as close as I'm gonna get.
What are you drinking now?

2025 Bigfoot... Yet another highly anticipated annual beer from Sierra Nevada!
Such a delicious beer. I now have a collection of 8 years of Bigfoot; a.k.a. "My Feet"! lol Guess I should start drinking them soon... I hear they age well.

Comparing my HB doppelbock to Celebrator (the beer I was going after). Keg is getting low.
Color is about identical. My aroma is a bit more roasty, theirs is quite a bit more carmel and sweet. This is true in the taste as well. Mine is drier, theirs is sweeter. I’ve loved this beer for a long time and never noticed it was this sweet. Almost like it didn’t ferment all the way out.

I got a 2013 bottle in our club bottle exchange. Thats my oldest one. Now that the snow and freezing cold is here now I might open that one soon. We learn the hard way they don’t last forever
I stole the 12 beers of Christmas idea and our club did it this year. We had 8 brewers do holiday beers and trade 3 each to all the other brewers for a mixed case of 3 each of 8 different beers. One of our guys did a Belgian quad aged in a hungarian oak barrel. Another guy did a maple bourbon barrel aged Wee Heavy. His barrel was used for Dads Hat Rye then used to age maple syrup then used for bourbon again before he got it and aged his Wee Heavy. Those 2 are definitely the highlights of our case. I submitted an imperial stout flavored with candy canes and peppermint bark.

I like the can art.
The best part of Jester King..
I'm glad you tried it. Now go the extra step and make them in a copper cup and coat the rim with lime. You will like them even better. Cheers ad hoppy brewing in 2025.
The beer for which I brew. I absolutely love Pilsner Urqell. I brew it 3 or 4 times each year. I do it as SMSH as I only use Bavarian malt, Saaz Hops and Czech yeast. And I do a triple decoction mash to obtain the closeness in flavor profile. Additionally I brew a Lager that I call Taterbrau that is basically a Czech Pilsner with 20% of the mash being potatoes. I have won an award with my Taterbrau and everyone who tries it likes it.
A stovepipe of Radeberger Pilsner.
After drinking smooth and mellow Czech, Austrian and Swiss beers for over two and a half weeks, it’s good to clear my head, reset the old taste buds and generally re-calibrate. What better way than with solid German Pilsner!
Today I’m drinking a terrific and SUPER CLEAR German Pilsner, Wernesgrüner, since 1436. I find these German Pilsners on average hoppier than their Czech counterparts, and Wernesgrüner is no exception. Delicious and drinkable, this is a 4.9% ABV beer. It really jumps out at you more so than say the Pilsner Urquell I finished off with yesterday. This really is a terrific beer and very thirst quenching.
Wernesgrüner is located in Steinberg-Wernesgrün, Saxony, Germany, part of the old Communist East Germany. The brewery is now owned by Carlsberg out of Denmark. Hey with Denmark in the news this week, maybe they’re ‘gonna be flush with cash to buy a few more breweries, eh? He he...
Chase this one down, I drank it all before paragraph #3 here. Really a nice Pilsner, dare I say rivalling some of my Southern German Pils favorites. Prost!

HB 3.7% Ordinary Bitter.
Blend of a little leftovers of HM sweet and jasmine rice wines. Sweet cleared nicely, jasmine not so much. Pretty tasty though.
Lopsided pic of my pineapple booch.
Mediterranean chicken stew for dinner so some HM arancello for a tasty dessert.
HB raspberry hard lemonade
I spent the last 10-12 months making 10+ batches of pilsner, trying to clone a Pilsner Urquell. So, I always had a six pack of it - so I could A/B between the real deal and my clone attempt. Probably the hardest beer to recreate, at least it has been for me.
Thankfully - the work paid off and my version of a Czech pilsner pleases me to no end.
HB Vienna Lager
Having a half liter of some tasty red.
Espresso martini inspired dark lager at Trimtab, Birmingham. Pretty good.

Pretty enjoyable French pilsner. Is there such a thing?
And a variety of one of my favs. Haze Against the Machine
Aesthetics begin with shell and bone. After this, light and its duplications against the walls, its pitch the same as soot in the morning light. Revolting against our transience, awe stricken, the pleasures of the world are marked upon the surface. Our own hands no different than the fire corralled in stone circles. La Grotte is a Pilsner using 100% imported French ingredients. Johanne de Arch Pilsen malt produces a pale, straw color with a striking clarity. Notes of biscuit and light airy bread set the stage for a trio of French grown hop varieties. Classic Strisselspalt and its daughter variety Aramis combine to express soft noble spice and aromas of fresh hay. Finally Mistral hops, as if carried on a breeze, present shy notes of honey
Two Tree House titans enter the ring and combine their profiles for an exciting “in-House” collaboration. Pouring a glowing yellow with a thick sea of foam atop it, Haze Against the Machine creates a novel yet familiar Double IPA experience.
Haze Against the Machine
Haze’s unparalleled smoothness swirls in the glass with sweet summer peaches and dank, overripe papaya notes. Familiarity from Juice Machine bursts with mango ice cream, lime spritz, and juicy tangerine aromas. Brooding beneath this bright introduction is a classic dank and hoppy flavor that make both beers dear to our hearts.
