More hefe because it tastes good and I've finally made a hefe that I can't figure out how to improve. Of course the tricky bit is doing it consistently, fortunately I don't like hefe enough to have to worry about that. But right now, this is my favorite beer.

Lagunitas “Beast of Both Worlds”. Supposed to be a hybrid of East and West Coast IPAs. Not a bad IPA. Mildly hopped and sweeter than I expected. It’s a WCIPA with NEIPA hops I’m guessing. I need to look up what those hops are.
Ah...ok. Citra and Mosaic. 8%. 48 IBU.

I saw that at the store the other day and almost grabbed it.
 
DEYA Brewery - "Something Good #17"

8.5% DIPA with 28g/L (!) of dry hops, about half of which is cryo.

Centennial, Krush and Mosaic in the whirlpool and Mosaic (Cryo, Hyperboost, BBC and T90) and Simcoe (Cryo and T90) in the dry hop.

I've not had much DEYA recently as they got into a bad habit of releasing when stuff was still really green. This had been in can for three weeks and was incredible. Best hazy I've had in bloody ages.

One of my favorite Pilsners is Rothaus Tannenzäpfle. This is one of my four favorites, the others being Paulaner, Ayinger and the US brewed / Austrian owned Trumer. Others I’m thinking about bringing into the pack are Alesmith Anvil Pilsner which is exceptional, and Warsteiner which is nearly as good.

Rothaus ("Red House") was founded in 1791 in the Black Forest town of Grafenhausen, Baden-Württemberg, and are now owned by the State of Baden. Points given to the locals for fending off the equity managers and hanging on to their historic breweries! What else is there in life....!

I’m not sure, but for some reason, during my last shopping trip to re-stock the expansive and temperature-controlled Beermeister32 bierhoard, I noticed that Rothaus has just about doubled in price while the other German brewers have more-or-less held pricing as well as possible. I guess when you are state-run, price doesn’t mean anything, huh? OH WELL, let’s hope all the post-Covid price adjustments and tariff issues settle down so we can all afford this premier brew more often. Maybe I should be investing in beer futures...! Woof!

Tannenzäpfle clocks in at 5.1% ABV, is crystal clear and has perfect head, just like a German Pilsner should! This is a fantastic brew, it is perfect! For inspiration, I thought I'd pull out my historic stoneware Rothaus Maßkrug, but today I'm drinking out of glass - this one is just too pretty to drink otherwise! Prost!
