Same here. Temps went from unseasonably warm mid 80's to 64, (and still dropping), in a little over an hour. May not see 60 degrees for the next several days. Back to stout weather.
What are you drinking now?

Noticed this in Rouses in Spanish Fort, AL. I don't think I've seen one of these in about 40 years so had to grab a 6er (used to be 8). I think I'll have 2!

HB Grodziskie. Clearing nicely despite being a 100% Wheat beer, apparently that's expected for the style. Very refreshing and only light smoke...
Stone... stick to what you know, this is not it.
Moving on to my hb neipa, now this is more like it.
There's is called FML which has its meaning.. this batch of mine is named PMS, which is not related to female hormones but I brewed it for the superbowl this year and it has a meaning.. any guesses?

I agree with the Stone FML (which seems almost appropriate). 3 cans showed up in an ill-advised Stone mixed 12 pack purchase. I dumped most of the first can and all of the other two. Come to think of it I dumped most of that 12 pack, and probably won't be drinking any Stone products for a long while...

From yesterdays beer deep in the cellar, to today’s beer from a much more recent vintage.
Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine 2024
I always enjoy these from fresh to about three years old with around 1.5 to 2 being around perfect. It’s good fresh, but mellows out with age.
This one with one year of age on it.
Aroma is citrus grapefruit and pine
Flavors are right with the aroma. Caramel toasty malt with grapefruit and pine hop flavor, with the bitterness reminiscent of pith, in a good way. Flavors linger without being cloying or heavy.
This is really good, but I bet in 6 months to a year it’s even better.
With all my moving recently I just realized I didn’t pick up any 2025 yet. I need to get on that before it’s impossible.

Ah, Sureshot. That's a name I see less than I would like in my local bottle shops.
I'm up Sheffield way next week so maybe a detour is in order.
Hb neipa... needed a beer after work but have to meet the wife for dinner so I made quick work of this one, happy Friday y'all..

What better way to return back home from my British Isles beer journey than a can of Good ‘Ole American adjunct Lager, Budweiser.
Actually, this shot was from my business trip last week. My hotel was across the street from a gas station that had plenty of beer. I had just blew into town, off the plane, rental car, hotel, threw my bag on the bed, and time for a brew! Nothing too exotic, but how can you go wrong with a Budweiser, right? I’m loving these 25-ounce cans too. Bring me a 32-ouncer!
Budweiser isn’t as large a market share as it once was. There was a time however that this occupied the lion’s share of the beer shelf at the supermarket. Budweiser is really a case study in remarkable brewing. If you consider this same brew is made at locations all over the world with a consistent flavor profile and quality, you begin to understand all that goes into making it happen. Like regular new yeast sent out in cold containers all throughout the world, all grown off their master slants from original 1800-vintage yeast. Amazing.
Budweiser is a 5% ABV beer, and is really remarkable that all those different brewery locations can make something so consistent, wherever you are.

Drinking a glass of cabernet, it's like kissing your cousin, as long as no one catches you its OK.. I'm so ashamed
Hey, don’t worry about it, I kissed your cousin once. It was no big deal, really.Drinking a glass of cabernet, it's like kissing your cousin, as long as no one catches you its OK.. I'm so ashamed
Opening of their new location today. Opening day WCIPA, Anchors Aweigh. Pretty easy decision, and a good one.

My Bloody Valentine, a seasonal red which I continue to love.
However…this is NOT the brewery that I fell in love with so many years ago.

And now another beer from deep in the cellar.
Anchor Our Special Ale 2009
A loud pssst on opening.
Poured with a good head and carbonation.
Aroma is perfumey and flowery.
First sip is of spices. Cinnamon, pine and faint spruce. Spice fades to cocoa and roasted malt, toasted bread crust and some light bitterness.
Very drinkable and does not seem like it is 15 years old. It is not sweet and still has a touch of bitterness but the spices are more prominent. It is interesting that the aroma doesn’t match the flavor at all. Still very nice.

Their taproom is definitely worth a visit if you can (Track and Cloudwater are very close by too)
Just got back from a 2-day road trip to visit family in SD. Not fun fighting 50mph crosswinds coming and going, but great to catch up with fam.
Having a Golden Monkey.

A random imperial stout from Quebec I’ve never tried. Quite nice!
HB Helles.
Last bottle in existence of this batch... hate to see it go.
Plan to brew an Irish Red tomorrow

My golden coffee stout is STILL not carbonated, I even switch CO2 bottles thinking maybe I got a bad one from the local keg and bottle place.
So I’m rocking this damn keg on my lap attempting to force carb it, freezing me legs and think that I…need a beer!
Definitely don’t pick up the spicy notes I tend to find myself not liking in Pilsners with this one, which I’m beginning to think is an association with Saaz. Blasphemy!!
Regardless, thanks @fourfarthing!
