I think you'll find that it's a Doppelbock if you tilt the sample jar just a smidge.
What are you drinking now?

I decided to piss away eight miles worth of hiking.
The Ringwood ordinary bitter
A Vienna lager. Thanks to everyone that brewed a Vienna and posted pictures late last Summer and early Fall. It prompted me to dust off my recipe. I should make this more often. Not the best head on it, it's recovering from a foolish bit of over-carbonation that in inflicted upon it last month.

This while making a batch of sauergut.
Did a bunch of outside chores today, figured I should take a break and celebrate last nights event.

So I’m assembling a new desk chair in my office this afternoon. What better occasion than to enjoy TWO Weihenstephaner Festbiers!
I mean seriously, a guy needs a little fuel in the tank to take on this stuff. Gee, I thought two major pieces and that would be it. Took me 35 minutes just to UNPACK the thing! Dozens of parts!
Weihenstephaner makes one heck of a good Festbier to commandeer events like this. Since 1040, unabashedly The World’s Oldest Brewery! I view days like this in the German tradition of responsibly sipping beer at work. It’s my duty!
Definitely a malt-forward 5.8% ABV Festbier with restrained hopping, continental malt and hops. As good as Weinhenstephaner is, it isn’t one of the Munich area breweries allowed to provide Festbiers at Oktoberfest. That’ll teach you for building your monastery outside of city limits!
I mean does office work get any better than this? Weihenstephaner Festbier, leather armrests, swivel casters, black-oxide screws and a hex wrench to pull it all together. Prost!

Couple of homebrews.
My "Clean out the freezer" ipa, which turned out better than I thought it would.
Next up, my nut brown ale, which recently scored a respectable 35, but out of the medals, in a recent regional competition.

Winter ale brewed by some Connecticut Vikings with spruce tips and smoked barley, 8%. This is tasty, malty, slightly sweet but I don't get spruce or smoke. Disappointed since I really like smoked beers but otherwise this is a good beer IMHO.

Second game was a hard loss, but we have things to work on this week.
Celebratory beer with a late dinner!
Gave up alcohol for lent. Crazy, I know. Hoping to lose a few pounds too. We’ll see if I can also keep away from the other carbs…
I bought a sixer of Einstok's white ale. Very nondescript, not much of what makes a witbier. It's light and refreshing, but then, so is Blue Moon.
Out on the deck with a crowler of smoked porter from Bear Cave Brewing, Hopkins, MN.
This is really good. How do I know? It's a spitting image of my recipe! Maybe a tad more bitter. Complex malt profile.
Nice extinct glassware find at Goodwill today. The one beer cost x4! Ha! Cheers to giving up non-alcoholic beers for lent. It's hard, but someone has to do it...
Pretty good. Senses tell me there's plentiful old school hops. Whatever that means anymore.

"Bark for Beers" 10th anniversary. Man, I don't even recognize some of these local breweries yet noticed many that are now defunct and some that should just go.

Monday. Got over 60° while I was in the office.
Watching the glacier melt off the back deck. -15° cooler as I headed thru the shaded tall pines and hollows on my street. I'll call it a deck evening!
This is amazing.

German Pilsener. Light, crisp, slight malt aroma/taste and hop bitterness. Very enjoyable!
Bitte EIN bit
You know, there’s something to be said about the wholesome goodness of Pilsner. I have to admit, it is my calling. Almost a Holy thing, self cleansing, delicious and crisp Pilsner, cascading into my glass and into my constitution in a way almost Spiritual and healing. It’s that good!
Radeberger makes a good one too. I don’t know what it is, I’m sort of in a Pilsner mood this week. Yesterday’s Festbier was good for sure, nothing like authentic 1516-Compliant Lagers, that’s what I say! Still, these Pilsners are extra special to me.
Brewers since 1872, Radeberger produces a delicious 4.8% ABV Pils. It’s been quietly lagering in the Beermeister32 bierhoard for the past month. I’ve been looking forward to this all day. Prost!

Just got notified our entire manufacturing facility lost compressed nitrogen. Well here's to early retirement! Is it too late to be a "Mr. Irrelevant" starting QB staring down a $45million/yr contract??

HM blackcurrant wine.
Raspberry Hard Lemonade. I have another 6 gallons waiting to be kegged on Thursday.
Beautiful evening in central Texas. Loving the summer forecast in winter time.
That’s exactly how I brew. Mash with 5-6 gallons in an 8 gallon kettle on the stovetop and then about 15 minutes before mash out, I start heating 1.5-2 gallons of water in a stockpot to get to preboil volume.
First glass of my HB Kölsch that I racked to keg on Saturday morning. I fined with gelatin and burst carbonated yesterday afternoon. Not too shabby. It should be in top form by next weekend.

Might be laid off tomorrow so what the heck!
Starkbier presentation at HBC meeting tonight.
Big foot 25- Not Germany, but strong nonetheless.
