What are you drinking now?

[MaxStout]

Just when I thought my Faux German beer project had met its conclusion, look what I found in the Bierhoard…. One more can of Bavarian Kittens. I must have bought two of them by mistake…. Joy!

What better opportunity to make a blender out of this with the old reliable Bud Zero serving as a mixer. Let’s see, we have 16 ounces @ 5.5% ABV, and 12 ounces at 0% ABV. That makes it 28 ounces at 3.1% ABV into my 28 ounce glass. Just fits!

OK, I’ll just come out and say it. I wasn’t too impressed with this one a few beers back, but with the Bud Zero and the fizz I’m getting from it, this is a more drinkable brew, not quite a Festbier as on the can, but a whole lot more “Festbier-ish!" A bit more translucent too. I say these brews have hope after all! Good chugging !!!

Not a good sign when the Bud Zero is the better of the two. At least it made for a decent session bier.

HB NEIPA "Dank Juice"....appropriately named, Columbus, Citra and Amarillo Cryo. Tastes like drinking MaryJane, in a very View attachment 874126good way. This is the Columbus from @Dgallo 's suggestion a month or two ago. I've learned that if Dom suggests something, it has to be good ;-). Now I have to teach my friends that hops and MJ are from the same distant plant class...

Nurse is just sending me to an MRI. There's a test for an Achilles rupture and it seems to pass (not ruptured) the test doing it myself. Anyway, I'm in healing mode so avoiding alcohol (or anything inflammatory) moving forward for the foreseeable future. to my favorite community for now!

Story time. Couple weeks back did a 4 and then a 5 mile walk and strained my calf. It was feeling much better and really no signs of issues until I was walking...yes walking... out to the car at lunch. Something popped there and I about dropped to the ground. Signs all point to the Achilles tendon but Dr. appointment tomorrow. Anyway, beer...

Man, I'm so sorry to hear that. I tore my calf muscle about 15 years ago while whoring in a rugby match that I had no business being in (famous last words: "I'll show these young punks.") It felt like a water balloon exploded inside my calf. I sure hope it was a muscle tear instead of a tendon. Neither is good, but the muscle tear wasn't all that bad.

Word of advice during your recovery: Don't be polite in crosswalks and try to break into a trot. I kept tearing and re-tearing my calf doing that during the recovery period. Unfortunately, you just have to take it easy until things stitch themselves back together. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm as stubborn as I am stupid it would've been a quick recovery, but I stretched it out to 6-8 months because I didn't take it seriously.

Good luck with the MRI. But whatever the outcome, we're going to have to put you on IR until you heal up. Get better soon!!

Out for a late lunch / early dinner at a local German-style biergarten. Surprised when we got there to find out they had a Weihenstephaner tap takeover, with 8 or so of their beers on tap. I had the 1516 Kellerbier, and loved it. I would have rather stayed longer to have more of the beers they were serving, but we had other stops to make.

Eight Weihenstephaner taps? They'd never get me out of there.

Good find.

Troegs beers galore, proof positive for me that beer glasses have little impact on the intrinsic deliciousness of a a finely crafted lager.

I’ve tried to brew a non-hazy, dank beer like that a couple times without a lot of luck. Would you be willing to share your hop schedule and info on the Columbus you mentioned?

I brewed a batch of my Belgian single right before Christmas. After filling my keg, there was still a good bit in the FV, so I quickly cleaned and sanitized a few bottles, added a dose of table sugar and filled a couple. I let them sit for a couple weeks at room temp and then put them in the fridge. I drank one pretty quickly and forgot about the other until tonight.
It’s delicious. I think better than what was in the long gone keg.
