Finished mowing the lawn right at dusk, that deserves a beer! Munich helles with Murphy & Rude malts (Charlottesville VA) and Mt Hood hops, triple decocted. Rather pleased with this one, although I under estimated my efficiency and it's closer to 6%.

Max tomorrow...
Looks like they added the "donuts" then ran the beer through a blender

Big fan, but they're local to me. Curious to know how you found them.

Out on the patio with a nice Mind Haze, waiting for the storm to come.
Very tasty hefe
HB Rye to go with this tune...
Karl Stauss is another favorite and well-loved San Diego brewer. I had some Mahi Mahi tacos and a flight of beers last time there – The tacos were to die for, and the beer was excellent!
Today’s Westie is their Tower X West Coast IPA. It’s a 7.3% ABV middleweight of an IPA, with all the San Diego area towns listed at the bottom of the can. Back in the day I’d call a 7.3% ABV IPA a heavyweight – now with all the 9%+++ ABV IPAs out there, a 7.3% seems a bit more diminutive. HA!
Tower X comes to us in a fantastic 19.2 ounce stovepipe. I’m noticing a lot of lower production brews coming to us in plastic-labelled, shrink-wrapped aluminum cans. I wonder if that might be an economical way of doing small-batch can labelling without the commitment of a specifically printed aluminum can. A great way to label seasonal and limited-release brews for sure!
Karl Strauss keeps knocking it out of the park with their SoCal area restaurant / brew houses. Tower X has noticeable pine and citrus notes, great clarity, reasonable head and great lacing. Enjoy!

Sounds delicious! We're moving to south AL soon and I'm looking for a spot in the new back yard for a fig tree.
I was looking in the fridge trying to decide what to imbibe and (y'all know me) said "What if...?" Turned out to be good!
Be careful what you wish for. I have a small grove in my front yard. This is an average mid-August day:
Anyone north enough to see the Auroras, post pics and of course beer.
OT, not my fav

They're in 6pks, see you soon!
Fresh figs, dried figs, fig jam, fig preserves, fig liqueur, boiled figs, fried figs, fig scampi, fig ettouffee....
Long day, took the day off work to ... work .. on these damn trees that are everywhere.. oh and I'm sick so it's like I work for 20 minutes and have to take a 20 min break... not like me .. sorry I'm wining.. I did get to run a stihl 661 today with tuned intake and exhaust ports.. that was enjoyable... drinking a hb hazy which I served to my buddy for helping.. and bringing his stud of a chainsaw to help out.
Peppered fig old fashioned. Goes very well with fig, goat cheese and prosciutto pizza. Think I might try some fig balsamic vinegar. I need more delayed gratification in my life.
If you ever want to get rid of some, Ill PayPal you with S/H cost. Absolutely love figs!
I doubt that they'd ship well unless frozen or dried.
Between the flights, rental car, train tickets, and bribes for my partner to help carry it all, that sounds about right.
Absolutely worth it! Amazing beer.
Well, with experience with USPS and ice packs for beer... just saying....
Sounds like they are a scourge similar to zucchinis.Fresh figs, dried figs, fig jam, fig preserves, fig liqueur, boiled figs, fried figs, fig scampi, fig ettouffee....
Brew on
Fig mead. I’m not drinking fig mead though, I had a sip of aged HB dandelion mead earlier.
Someone said Mead. HB 16%
Getting low on the Czech Pilsner. Been an awesome run of 8 batches over the last year, perfecting it to my taste buds. I love Saaz. But tomorrow I am doing a German Pilsner to change it up.
Still milking the Czech Pilsner & loving it. I win an reward on every sip.

Brother in law brought this over the weekend and left it here soooo. Why not.. it's OK, not my typical beverage but it's helping my sore throat.
Carb check on the hefe I kegged on Sunday.
Easy drinker, 2 sourdough loaves left is all bread flour, right has some whole wheat and rye.
Speaking as a confirmed sourdough fiend, those loaves are beautiful. Fantastic work!
Blending/adjusting mead for NHC and cleaning up and such.
Grape wheat beer. Not carbed yet but I wanted to taste and get an sg sample that I forgot to do when I bottled. Definitely get the grape and it isn't bad. It'll probably improve when it carbs up.
HB ipa. Sort of a test. This was brewed on March 8th and kegged on March 26th. It was bottled from the keg via my Tapcooler on April 25th. It’s been sitting, bottled, in my garage fridge since then, and opened just now. It actually held up quite well, considering it’s age.
Thanks, I started my sourdough extravaganza almost a year ago, making a loaf or 2 a week, different variations.. now I'm starting to feel comfortable not following recipes and just doing whatever. Still working on my sourdough pizza crust though, that has been a little tough to nail down, I think more on the timing, my last pizza dough overfermented and I made it work but it was a challenge, a sticky one.
Yum
