It’s almost 100 degrees in Ehrenberg, AZ and I’ve been roofing our place on the Colorado River all morning. Time for some of Golden’s finest.
What are you drinking now?

Out on the deck with a HB ordinary bitter.
Perfect weather day - 75 degrees, light breeze, cloudless sky.

Hb Irish stout, nitro pour. This keg is getting light along with the nitro tank. Clutch saga continues, the slave cylinder bolts rounded off so I had to drill the heads off, tomorrow the remaining studs get the torch and hopefully extracted then I can start putting her back together.
HM cider. One of my first batches of cider, first using ale yeast, bottled 08/13/19. Tasty.
Sometimes the glass is wrong.

HB ipa, (a different one). Brewed in early January and still holding up well.

Hb hazy, last keg of 3, good thing I just kegged another 15 gallons yesterday so may as well work on making room in the upstairs kegerator. Though this one had been on of my favorites.
HB black wheat
Today’s beer story isn’t the great beer I’m drinking. It’s about that one lone potato chip I’m having this afternoon. Yep, that’s my one salted snack today. I’m dropping the salt, I should probably eat a raw potato chunk or something, but darn these Maui Onion chips are the bomb!
Daily ration is one chip. Good thing those rations don’t extend to beer, Nosiree! Steigl Goldbräu is my treat to go along with that chip. I’ve written about Goldbräu before, got into it over just exactly what it is. For many, it’s an Austrian Style Märzen. For others, a Bavarian Helles.
In my book, it drinks more like a heavy Helles. Of course they already HAVE a Helles here in the States, so I’ll stick with my tastes and say one lighter and one heavier Helles. Märzens around here are a bit darker and a different breed.
Great beer though! A traditional 5% ABV, a product out of Salzberg, Austria. Prost!

Now for some A beer.
The good stuff.
That is beautiful!
Thanks
After a wonderful HB English Brown, HB Pilsner bursting with Saaz,... Time for HB stout poured at 38 psi, 65/35 beer gas mix. Ahhhh.
I wanna lava lamp that looks like a stout pour.

Had a fun-packed day. Roasted some coffee, worked on the set of cornhole boards I'm building, then discovered my band saw was making strange sounds. Opened it up to find the rubber "tires" on both wheels have become so oxidized, it was chipping off in chunks. Scraped it all off with a putty knife and ordered some new ones.
Time for a HB Skibsol before guests arrive. We're making some limoncello. They're bringing a big bag of organic lemons, I'm supplying the cheap vodka.

Looks like my weekend is starting earlier than expected. Time to break out the Willi Blecher for a nice big pour of that Munich Lager thing that I brew.
In fact, I'm going to find out what that should be called while I enjoy this beer. It has been bugging me.
Edit: Well, I'll be damned. Paulaner Munich Lager is a Helles. I had no clue that I actually liked Helles, much less brewed one. One of the things that impressed me about the Paulaner Munich Lager that I was guzzling when I was back in Oregon was its bitterness. Turns out I was using waaaaaaaay too little 60min hops in my prior attempts at Helles. Sorry about all the mean, lousy things I've said to you over the years, Helles!

Hb Irish stout, apparently one of the kids washed this glass.
Nice dunkel
Dogs are innocent creatures. Kids....At least you didn't blame it on the dog.

Just kegged sample of hb black ipa. Based on this bit, may be one of the best beers I've brewed. Hopefully it'll look prettier after a few days.
Yeah, but will it be as nutritious? There's all kinds healthy stuff in there, all kinds of vitamins and minerals.

I feel healthier already!
Tryin to kick this hb nitro stout ... need to get a different keg in there, it's getting close I can tell.. it's only 4.2% so I should be able to polish it off and still have the balance to bring a keg up from the basement... the struggle is real... as for the other struggle (clutch replacement) the hot wrench got the studs out of the trans for the slave cylinder, that was the last bit to remove so now reassemble begins.
Pulling those stubborn bolts is always the miserable part, bailey mountain. Now comes the fun and rewarding part!
I decided to get a glamour shot of my (newly discovered) Helles up above the filthy window screen. This lager is only 17 days old.

Change up from the stout.. still low abv but wanted something less roasty.. this was one of my fishing beers, seemed fitting for fishing, and it's healthy.

HB. Bru-1/Citra ipa.
Bottling leftover of Chinese rice wine. A little sweet and tart, tasty with some kick!
Are you serving these warmed up, or are these more akin to a Chinese version of Sake?
As always, I'm constantly learning new stuff from you. You've gotta have the most interesting and far-reaching brewery on this site. It really blows me away.
All beer is healthy, is it not?
Tonight I’m kicking off a fun review of some of the domestic “Faux” German brews available in California! Actually, maybe Faux is the wrong term – a lot of these are brewed with Continental malt and hops, so what’s the difference where the brew kettle is located, right? HA!
