What are you drinking now?

Got some crowlers from Pinthouse yesterday. Unfortunately, they ended up have leaks at the lid...

Physical therapy was today. Learned a lot and could actually walk much better with just minimum pain after. I guess that's the bad news as that ends my time off.

When we’re talking West Coast IPA’s one of the defining characteristics is clarity. Take a peek at Societe Brewing Company’s “The Pupil” 7.5% ABV India Pale Ale…. Looking at this IPA, they are definitely the Professors, and we are humble Freshmen! Fantastic clarity!

Based out of San Diego, Society Brewing Company has been producing choice beers like this since their inception in 2012.

Other than the lovely presentation in the beer glass, we have a great and predictable West Coast IPA flavor profile – one with guava and mango notes as listed on the 19.2 ounce can. I’m finding a lot of San Diego West Coast IPA’s are centered around a similar flavor profile, it seems to be cropping up over and again from other local brewers, the definitive San Diego IPA profile. I’d say this mostly goes back to Escondido’s Stone Brewing and their classic IPA – and even back to Vinnie Cilurzo’s former Blind Pig Brewery in Temecula. The IPA business has grown up and expanded a lot since then. Those skills and talents get carried back and forth to other local brewers, making similar brews.

Did I say nice head and terrific lacing? Nice head and terrific lacing…. Enjoy!

Real Feel dropped below 100f. Time to resurrect this POS HT from the dead.

She showed back up in Austin! . The beer I'm going to Marry when I grow up.

Tasty winter ale

HB Mango Margarita after cooking up some chicken fajitas, thighs.

This might be the best tasting batch I can remember having. Magical.

I had one last night too, it was fantastic. Maybe a good year for Cascades?

I had the exact same thought. Must have been a stellar lot, even for their standards.

Was up buying a bike, swung by a good brewery. All lagers today, Dunkel, Vienna Lager, Dortmunder export and a German Pils. Good selection.

I'm drinking HB Barley Wine I bottled in April 2024. Grist was Golden Promise with a bit of Biscuit Malt. Hopped with Vic Secret and Idaho-7 for 80 IBU. 10.2% ABV. A massive amount of chill haze, but overall it's malty bitter love in a pint glass!

I need this keg of bitter to kick to make room for another bitter!

Chocolate truffle stout. Dessert.

Odd experimental beer. Wish I just did a sample. Aroma is straight up soap, maybe Lifebuoy??

One of the more famous San Diego IPAs has to be Ballast Point’s Sculpin. Ballast Point Brewing has been a San Diego beer icon since 1996. As one of the OG’s of the San Diego brew scene, Ballast Point has pumped out a continuous supply of mostly IPA’s, lighter and medium Ales and Lagers. Yes I know they’ve done a few darks, but by far the lion’s share have been IPA’s. I can remember buying their IPA combo pack a couple years ago, it was fantastic!

Sculpin is another one of those “to be drank fresh” beers that define the San Diego IPA scene. A very traditional IPA, nothing hanging out in the weeds here. Also – This is a Westie – check out the clarity! Sculpin is a bit more amber in hue than most IPA’s you’ll encounter in these parts – and the flavor is terrific!

7% ABV, medium head and lacing, Sculpin is one of the IPA’s you need to experience - a part of your beer repertoire!

I think my hefe is carbed. Thank you again for the coasters, Max, they're getting a workout on this beer!

Although it's ruining your nice stickers...

Soapy glass? Would also explain the lack of foam/head on that beer...

I'll buy that. Among my many and varied crimes against beer, I have yet to produce a soapy beer. If I can't do it, I'm pretty sure nobody can.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Just throwing away money here tonight. Aroma is snoot and tastes is dirt. @TheDudeLebowski did you have a different experience?

I'm 57, I know dish soap. I only rinse them out with water anyway. Lack of head is from leaking lids, I assume, they all leak.

maybe Lifebuoy??

 

[bailey mountain brewer]

Local hazy, it's decent

 

[BongoYodeler]

HB ipa. Tasting a bit long in the tooth now, kegged late March. Luckily the keg is about kicked. Just in time for a SMaSH pale that I’ll be dry hopping in a couple days.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Glad someone got it!

 

[Rish]

HM lemon wine. Almost 5 years in the bottle, 11%. Pretty tasty!
