What are you drinking now?

Bell's Scotch ale, 7.5%. Pretty tasty!

Absolutely terrible…
Poured down the drain

 

[camonick]

Not a big fan of farmhouse/ saison styles either…

HB Grodziskie, my first brew of this style and it is excellent. Interesting how a 100% Smoked Wheat beer can have such a mild smoke flavor, and at 4.2% it is very refreshing.

Celestial Brewing PA...meh. Love the pint glass though. Goodwill find!

Before an Executive Order stating no more Stouts allowed.....delish

You are much too kind sir, as looks can be deceiving. LOL!! Actually it turned out pretty good if I may say so myself. I’ll find out how it’s received by someone with a more refined taste than mine. I’ve entered this one and my year old imperial stout in a regional contest judged by pro brewers.

Well, if they give points for aesthetics, you have that category sewn up. Makes me crave another Cigar City Maduro.

So... that's two glasses of yeast starter, right?

 

[hopfenstopfen]

Just wow. Had another in this series, citra I think, but the Nelson & wildflower honey combo works so well.

I’m waiting for the keg to kick. This one will hurt when it’s gone. Absolutely the best beer I’ve made in 20+ years. I’ve had many years to make a yearly rotation. I’ve finally covered all the taps. Black tap has a new friend. There will never be a spring that I don’t make a max batch of this!

 

[Rish]

Secret Santa IPA. Nice citrusy aroma and taste, well balanced, not too bitter. Very easy to drink. Brewed in NY () by Ellicottville Brewing. I'd never seen a buckeye before so it was cool that Santa included some. I might start including some AL grown peanuts with my swaps.

Was out running errands this afternoon, swung by a brewery for a crowler of their Biere de Garde. Back home, enjoying it now.

Cheat day. Bulking up. Carb loading

MedleyIPA - Imperial​

8.3% ABV
Medley is a Tree House Double IPA aggressively hopped with four favorite American hops: Citra, Simcoe, Amarillo, and Mosaic. It pours golden orange into your glass and features characteristics of a medley of mixed citrus fruits. Fresh-squeezed oranges, clementines, and tangerines dominate the profile, while background notes of melon, pine, mango, and papaya accompany it. Medley embodies the better part of fifteen years spent searching for the ideal Double IPA. It is soft, aromatic, flavorful, and proudly brewed for you in Charlton,

Massachusetts. Twelve years in, and our energy feels like we’re just getting started—enjoy

5 Ounce​

Ceylon Swirl - Vintage PourStout - Imperial​

12% ABV
Ceylon Swirl is a barrel-blended Imperial Stout featuring various threads from our barrel program carefully blended with a portion of fresh stout. It has been conditioned upon both cinnamon and vanilla before finally resting on a thoughtful dose of Tree House coffee beans. The finished beer has incredible complexity with notes of smooth vanilla crème, rich chocolate cookie dough, and pleasant cinnamon spice, all supported by delicate oak and bourbon undertones throughout. Decadent, well-rounded, and artfully crafted, Ceylon Swirl is a beer that invites you to sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Wow, this beer is . Can says natural flavors, “Hey team, let’s go with these natural flavors, even though they taste artificial AF.” Glad it’s a mix 6, Tank 7 will be good.

SN festbier that I had yesterday and forgot to hit "post reply". Hell getting old!

Today tasty dunkel.

I couldn’t do it. I’d have to pee too often. (Adult diaper perhaps??)

It’s that time of year I give myself the annual test – Just checking my general tolerance for wheat beers. I’m not talking Gluten or any of that digestive stuff, nope. I’m talking about my general distaste of phenolic flavors. Wheat beers, Hefe-Weizens, Weizens, Weissbier, Weiss Bier, White Beer and the whole lot of spicy, “clove-tasting” banana-ester tasting brews – Generally these become dumpers at the Beermeister32 Labs. Woof. How do all you Guys and Gals handle it when there’s really good brews like Pilsners and Oktoberfests just one tap handle away?

OK, maybe I’m being unduly critical. I mean these have really taken over, I read somewhere that they are now #2 in Germany behind Pilsners. This shameful admission I cannot fully understand. But, Beermeister32 is open to changing my mind, and this week I’m going to be running some of the top German Wheat beers through my annual review.

Paulaner is one heck of a great brewer, their Pilsner is one of my fav’s. How about this one? Paulaner Hefe-Weizen, Munich Wheat Beer. Why not start with Germany’s #1 Hefe-Weizen, 5.5% ABV and really restrained hopping as you would expect in a beer like this. I think I have it figured out, the clove-banana thing is also significantly restrained in this beer. Cloudy like most wheat beers, it needs to be said these are Ales, not Lagers. Possibly, they have achieved the #1 status, by rolling back the phenolics a bit to make a smoother drinking beer.

Another thing, like a lot of smoked beers I’ve had, characteristic and signature “Clove” phenolic flavors fade a bit as your taste buds adapt and de-sensitize from the phenolic onslaught. This beer gets better the further you get into the pint. I’m not giving up my Pilsner any time soon, but there’s a lot to love for the right people with this Hefe-Weizen. Hats off to Paulaner, it’s drinkable! I’m glad I started off with theirs. Prost!

You just run a tube down your pants leg and hope nobody's below the chairlift.

 

[Rish]

This is good stuff.

 

[RCope]

A nice night for a stout, foamy since the keg kicked. With almost a full pour, so I've got that going for me

 

[RCope]

I’m talking about my general distaste of phenolic flavors.

I, too, have a strong dislike of those phenolic flavors. I think I may be a super taster for those. Saisons are horrible for me. I've been to small breweries where their house yeast is phenolic...not my jam. But I like pretty much every other beer "flavor"! Cheers! Rick

Just my pineapple booch. Beer tomorrow.
