The look of that stout…WOW….
Possible lightning storms tonight so pre-gaming...
I am a fan of Mexican lagers and this one hit the mark. I’d give it a 4.5 of 5.

HB Grodziskie, remarkably clear after some time on tap for a 100% Smoked Wheat beer, easy drinking...

Waiting on gaskets, mostly lazy day.
One of rock and roll's greatest albums that few people know about.
Great beer. Glass from the worst brewery in Austin. It befuddles us nerds how this place is still alive.
Chimay is really not great after 14 years. But the glass is still good.
Funny, I'd heard the name Wishbone Ash for forever, but never knew anything about the band or heard any of their music. In the past year I stumbled onto some of their songs almost by accident. Brilliant!! Now I'm kicking myself for all this time missed.
They had changed their style a few times over the years. The first 3 albums are the best, IMO. Prog rock with some blues and folk influences--and twin lead guitars! Argus is perhaps their finest, and Pilgrimage is also worth seeking out. By the mid-70s they ventured more towards pop. Then later they turned to more hard-edged rock, but those cool melodies were gone.
Never saw them in concert, though they toured the U.S. extensively back then.

ToC time...
Voodoo...voodoo
Nah.
A glass of my Leffe Blonde sat in the garden after a busy day brewing and gardening.
I first saw this on UK's Top Gear in the Burma special. Since then I've been trying to find it. And a few months ago, I did!
Poured myself a stiff one. It went down smoother than expected. And it was more fruity than expected.

Sounds like a 1960’s British Carry On film dialogue.
Out on the deck with a HB Skibsol (Danish smoked ale).
This Rye needs to go.....
HB coconut flavored milk stout. Need to finish this keg, have an ipa just about ready for the keezer.
Tasty, refreshing zwickelbier.

Have you written this up in sufficient detail for the rest of us to try to repeat?
Brew on
Glendale California’s Paperback Brewing Company gets the Beermeister32 award for hilarity on packaging! I’ve had their Capiche? Italian style Pilsner here one time before – and here again looking at Pilsners available to thirsty drinkers here in the West.
Honestly, I couldn’t tell you what an Italian-style Pilsner is – except to tune in to their tag line – “It’s a Pilsner You Won’t Refuse!” OK, I get it! Whatever it is, you are looking at a 2024 World Beer Cup Silver Award Winner, that should say something, eh? Mamma Mia!
It is indeed a delicious Pilsner, and the wrap-around graphics will keep you amused the entire 19.2 ounces. Capiche? has 5.5% ABV – and I’ve noticed another thing regarding many of the domestic Pilsners coming out – it is a drift in style over their European cousins. Any German Pilsner you are likely to encounter is going to have a crystal-clear consistency. It’s part of the “fit and finish” of the beer I’d say. It takes a bit of work to put that amount of polish on a beer.
Many of the American versions I’ve been drinking have a haziness to them – similar I think to some of the other Ales most of these brew houses are producing. As if the crews know that’s how they make beer and they take it to about that level no matter if it is a Lager or Ale style. I just see more of it with Ales, so when they make a Lager that is traditionally clear, it doesn’t always happen.
Anyway, this is a fantastic Pilsner, hunt it down the next time you are doing a beer run. Salute!

HM blackcurrant wine.
It’s in the upper 60s today here in Idaho, so why not enjoy HB IPA outside!
