What are you drinking now?

[ThirstyPawsHB]

I forgot all about those. Early 1990s, well done!

 

[Bramling Cross]

My German pils in a hefe glass because it’s Friday night and I got no class.

 

[MaxStout]

Having another bottle of HM Mott's cider. I didn't carb this one and the flavor is a bit dull. Not bad, not great. Might add some malic acid next batch.

 

[hilljack13]

Winter Warmer. Otherwise known as summer scorcher.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Lemoncello. No Mason, none for you

 

[Hoochin'Fool]

HB Belgian Quad, made with authentic CandiSyrup D-90, 3% thomas fawcett pale chocolate, 1% briess chocolate, a pinch of flaked wheat (shoulda used more, the foam is a bit disappointing), and the rest UK pale malt...

It would no doubt disappoint the purists because it's not so fruity (I deliberately kept ferment temperature cool), but it's pretty dang tasty (and intoxicating), and the chocolate flavor is very nice!

 

[Rish]

A little HM Chinese rice wine nightcap.

That sounds like a brilliant Quad to me. When it comes to Belgians, I like the grist to overpower the yeast as the gravity grows.

If the grist is muted by the yeast, why even brew a Quad, right?

Just poured a glass of my most recent batch. A Helles. I racked to keg on Wednesday night. Last night I fined with gelatin and then burst carbonated. It’s remarkably clear for being so fresh. Still a bit green to be sure and I feel I was a little light on the bittering, but otherwise delicious.

Last night's beers. Very average French beer, not something I will buy againView attachment 877185

I had another one yesterday, with melon flavors. It was actually very tasty.

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Oatmeal stout at Alvarium.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Finished my project right on time yesterday. Traffic was brutal, so why not head in the other direction to the City of Witches (sorry wiccans of the group) Salem on the coast. Yes. It was raining. A nice canal goes by the biergarten. I was going to jump in to dry off

Notch was having their XV Anniversary.

[Ren06]

Lagered 3mos just kegged andn carbonated 2 days ago, drinking fantastic! Clean and crisp with residual sweetness.

 

[Pennine]

Double duty today to clear this keg. Good thing it's only 4%. Oh and packed up @fourfarthing box.

 

[Section1]

This was surprising good.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Pilsner

 

[Section1]

Just relaxing today. Always a good choice.....

 

[Rish]

Aldi citrus wheat

 

[MaxStout]

Just finished cutting down an ailing magnolia tree in our yard. Time for a beer!

 

[BongoYodeler]

First pour of my partially carbed Munich Dunkel. Thanks @camonick for documenting your “Dunk!!!” recipe. Initial taste is very good, and I imagine it’ll only taste better as it ages and clears. I’m naming mine “Dunkelganger” as in that German style Dunkel that looks like another.

I even have an AI generated label for when I add it to my Untappd brewery page. Yeah, I’m geeky that way.

Some fluke caught today and some ales

I made some introductions last week and now we are working on a partnership between these guys and the company I work for, San Diego Harley Davidson. We have a lot of cool ideas in the works including a potential collab brew that I may be involved in.

That's awesome, Tony B!!!!

 

[Tony B]

That's awesome, Tony B!!!!

Yeah. It’s exciting. My lady’s son is a sales rep for Mission and we’ve been talking about it for a while but finally found the right time and place.

 

[whoaru99]

Cherry smoked Old Fashioned.

 

[Rish]

Very tasty AL brewed 8% Brother T dubbel

 

[redrocker652002]

Spent the day at mom's with my son doing some fix it and clean up for mom. Had a nice dinner and finishing off the night with a Beerios beer that I made with the help of Floppyknockers. Life is good.

 

[worlddivides]

My session hazy IPA. 4.2% ABV, 25 IBUs, massively whirlpooled and dry hopped with Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy, and Sabro. This is literally what I'm drinking right now.

And some pics from recent brewery visits:

(West Coast Brewing in Shizuoka, Vertere's new taproom in Eifukucho, Tokyo, and two beers from the recent Oedo Beer Festival in Nakano, Tokyo)

Such great names!
How could I not try optimized synergy ?

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

A couple of these.

 

[RCope]

HB Wry Smile, my fourth iteration. A classic. And in a famous (infamous?) glass.

 

[leedspointbrew]

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.

I'll take that as a challenge.

[ClaudiusB]

I am enjoying a few Stachelbiers for lunch. This simple process enhances the caramel aroma and flavor of the beer.

How warm does the beer get?

 

[ClaudiusB]

How warm does the beer get?

It all depends on the rod size and the starting temperature of the beer. When the CO2 starts to boil off, the escaping CO2 takes the heat with it in the form of warm foam. My beers stay cool.
