Beer. Because you canāt drink bacon.
( bluegrass guitar ) Is your foot, a sticky little foot...? (full bluegrass har..mo..ny )Does the SanJuanWorm do the San Juan Shuffle?
Homebrew Imperial Stout (a pre-cursor variation on this recipe, only difference was I dropped the OG to 1.103, IBUs to 60, and got lower FG than typical [1.022])...
It's coming up on 11 months since bottled, and tasting pretty amazeballs!

A beer and glass from the way back machine.
As I keep putting my brewing stuff away and organize all my brewing equipment, I opened the boxes with all my beer glasses. Included was this one:
The OG Vintage 2008 HBT Pint Glass
Anyone else around here have some of these?
Paired with a vintage 2008 beer
Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine 2008
Some carbonation on opening. Pours deep amber. Aroma is dark malts and a little pine. Itās a little sweet, very malty, and almost no hop character left. Some bitterness, but very on the malty side. The bitterness lingers as the sweetness fades away.
Definitely past its prime but drinkable.
The thread with the original glass discussion is here which had all of us on the edge of our seat the entire summer of 2008, with the glasses finally materializing in the fall.

I don't think I have anything from 2008. Between my kids and my own drunken carelessness, I'm constantly replenishing glassware. This is why I primarily browse Goodwill. I'll find winners once in a blue moon...no pun intended...

Out for lunch and beer at Rail Werks, Columbia Heights, MN. Excellent BBQ.
Having their "dry dark ale," not bad.
They make an outstanding Altbier, too.
Edit: and a flight of IPAs and a brown ale.

Couple free Real Ales (previous post). This WCIPA is similar to Pinthouse Scorpion Disco in character. Welp, that's enough analysis for one day.
Pretty good? My good Sir, it is the quintessential cream ale!
Iām sipping H2O from the fridge tap. Well, from a glass actually.

Happy fat Tuesday!
What am I giving up for lent?Keto!(well for tonight)
@kurds_2408 Thanks Santa! After avoiding sweet for what seem to be forever, this really hit the spot! Typically I am not a fan of cinnamon in a beer (completely turn me off of an X-mass ale) but this hit just right. I am not getting a cinnamon roll for a while but this certainly scratched an ich for me.

And that didn't last long... Another brew from Santa (@kurds_2408 ) and a good representation of one of my favorite styles. Considering I passed up on them last fall I was excited to un pack this one!
Thanks again Santa!
Thanks again Santa!
Abita Mardi Gras bock. Not bad.

Maybe its the pic but that doesn't look appealing. Looks oxidized and not the opaque yellow it suggests on the can.
I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully it's just the lighting.
After brewing hazies for the last five years I'm so sensitive to "that look" when I'm out at an establishment and the glass looks like that...or if I buy beer when I'm up at our mountain place and the first pour looks like that
Cheers!

Hey thatās awesome. Iām glad youāre liking them. That cinnamon beer really caught me off guard. I wasnāt expecting to like it and was very surprised how delicious it is.
Iāve got a four pack in the fridge now.
When I began brewing, some of the first 5 gallon pilot batches I did were actually apple ciders. It was a great way to learn selection of ingredients, fermentation, yeasts, sanitizing, transferring liquids, bottling, specific gravity, air locks, carbonation ā all the things so needed when you make the next step up, brewing your first beer. Before industrial America, ciders were the favorite fizzy light beverage. They knew it was good 300 years ago!
Fast forward to my misspent youth. I can remember Dad taking us hunting up in the hills in Eastern Washington. We had some friends who always had plenty of home-made cider sitting outside in the enclosed porch area. Obviously enough booze not to freeze. Weād grab 2 or 3 gallons and head up to the hunting cabin.
It goes to show that cider can actually be a fairly low technology drink. Itās been made by countless generations. I figured on this one Iād go as low tech as possible. A half-gallon of Tree Top apple juice and the dregs from one single bottle of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Carefully open the juice container; Carefully decant the beer into a glass leaving behind about a half ounce; swirl the bottle a bit to kick up the yeast and then pour the dregs into the apple juice. Close up the top of the juice and go drink your beer. Thatās it!
So for some family amusement I had this going beginning at the end of September of last year. Every day Iād watch that jug on the kitchen counter. It builds up pressure, and I loosened the top just a touch so that the non-pressure rated bottle wouldnāt explode. No airlock needed. Around mid-December I snugged up the top and let it increase pressure until I felt it was enough. Then into the refrigerator for our Holiday Drink-and-Tell Fest. 90 days. Donāt rush apple cider, it really does benefit from about 90 days if you can keep from drinking it.
So how did a completely low tech, maybe like the 1700ās, un-back-sweetened, un-sanitized, no Star San, un-filtered, still on the yeast bed, non-pasteurized apple juice fermented on the Chico strain taste? Now in March? Great! Iām drinking the rest of it this afternoon!

HB raspberry hard lemonade
My RHL keg kicked the other day. I think I'll hold off making it again until closer to summer.
Taster of amber ale. Kinda dark (slightly older lme) but tastes okay.
HB honey wheat graf. Tasty!

I think mine is getting close to dying. Iāve drank a bunch and shared quite a bit of it too.
Iāve got 2 beers fermenting right now and have to brew another one in about a week and a half for a group experiment Iāve been invited to participate in.

I got this beer from a friend that lives in the Seattle area. He brought it down years back on a visit to the LA/OC area.
Pours deep brown and ruby, small head that dissipates. Nose is classic imperial stout with some barrel notes. Thick, chewy, velvety with the low carbonation. Chocolate, plum, fig, dark cherry, bourbon and oak. Itās barrel-aged imperial stout with fruitcake notes, and I like fruitcake. Lingering and coating on the palate. Other than the low carbonation, this has aged nicely.
