Congratulations

Thanks, @ThirstyPawsHB ! We're tickled. Sorry your friend went through that. Realtors told us 30-60 days average here so very happy!

OT: Hendrick's and tonic. Beating the heat. Popped over 100 today. I miss hanging out in northern Vermont and 50+° sucking on a Heady TopperView attachment 878509

Haha! After Helene took down our NC destination, via swimbo, it's down to 2... Oregon coast or here. Both have there pluses and deltas. We're down to 6 months to make a decision one way or the other....

It's never that simple, though. A keg that you want to last the weekend will invariably kick on Friday night's first pour, whereas a keg that you need to free up invariably lasts a week or more. Just last night my Panther Piss was sucking yeast. Tonight, aware that it needs to die, it's spitefully running as clear as a mountain spring.

Our kegs have evil in their hearts, the devil kinda evil!

Truer words have never been spoken.

And then the inevitable I am going to bottle the rest and you end up with 1 half filled bottle...

Nice Yuengling with a burger I ate so fast I didn't get a picture for the burger and beer thread!

Mead (my last bottle of traditional?) and cider; testing out mixing the two. Watching one of my favorite YT channels (Real Science) and having some dessert!

I live off science channels. You seen the pictures from the new Vera Rubin telescope? Impressive for a ground based!

One of my last few bottles of Yooper's Oatmeal Stout recipe... Keeps improving with time!

No, but I just looked it up. I am no astronomy nerd (so far) but those do look great!

 

[ClaudiusB]

I am rewarding myself with a few homemade German dark beers for finishing the equipment maintenance early.
Those beers also help with my current weight loss program, which is 90% beer and 10% unhealthy food daily.
Two more pounds to go, and the ladies in the nursing/retirement home will be excited to see me again without my food belly.

 

[MaxStout]

Feeling a little off today, so no beer. Having a nice cup of home-roasted Honduran instead.

Oof! Thought it'd be a nice day to sit outside at Treehouse. Better idea to be inside. They need to crank the AC here!!! Insides a sauna

Day & Night

Foster Wild Thai
Barleywine aged exclusively in rum barrels for 27 months before conditioning it on generous portions of wild Thai bananas and freshly toasted coconut. The resulting beer has a heavy body and tastes of overripe, caramelized banana, toffee-like spiced rum, rich dark fruits, and sweetened coconut.

Patient Wanderer
underwent extensive conditioning in order to boost its clarity, crispness and zippy profile! A Lager for Lager lovers!

Patient Wanderer is our German-style Helles Lager that was given an extensive four-month rest in our stainless steel horizontal conditioning cellar. Pouring a brilliant straw-gold color into the glass, it carries a flavor profile of doughy malts, light straw, clean lager yeast, and just the right dash of zippy noble hops. Its extended lagering time further accentuates its clarity and crispness, while its slow carbonation treatment creates a tightly packed foam that clings to the glass, marking each sip along its journey. Beers that command your attention are a wonderful thing. Beers that can fade into the background as an unspoken companion to celebratory moments in life are also a wonderful thing

4th day of real feel of 107f .. yeah no beer yesterday cause bloodwork fasting .. today, a nice double ipa from my favorite local brewery. Yum.

 

[Pennine]

And a schwarzbier, always happy with their beers.

HM cider. Took a good bit of stuff to the new house and trying to empty beer fridge so I may not have much variety for the next week.

Waitin' on my lobster roll

 

[Dgallo]

I really dig this beer. Hb’d hoppy black lager. Citra Simcoe Sabro 6.2%

Schwartzbier grainbill with rice solids added and hoped/dryhopped like a modern pale ale. The coconut from the Sabro is what pulls it all together

 

[Rish]

Very tasty hefe

When I was running my faux-German beer tour a couple months back, I was fawning over this new release by San Diego's favorite son, Alesmith - Anvil Pilsner! Then we went through about a month when this was unavailable, probably the wait time between batches of a new release.

Well it’s back. Last month I suggested you go out and buy it all, go next door and clean them out, go down to the next bottle shop and clean them out! Then call Alesmith demanding more! So if you can’t find this next time around, it’s because I bought them out!

This is one of my top Pilsner picks, German or otherwise, it is right there with the 18-gold-medal-award winning Trumer, and an equal to most of the German brews. Better in some ways, check out the clarity, head and lacing! Superb!

Anvil has a right-on-the-money 4.9% ABV, as a Pilsner it is slightly hoppy but not like an IPA – just a refreshing Pilsner brew the way Pilsners are supposed to be in the US or anywhere for that matter. Quite a difference from some of the standard American style BMC type brews out there that claim being a Pilsner or maybe Pilsner lineage…. None even come close! This is the one you want....Prost!

Aged about three years really did this good.

Clear winner from my trip up to VT last week's glass. Went to about five breweries.

HB pale ale in a new mug I got. Mother-in-law was cleaning out stuff she didn't want and gave me this. Something she had brought home from a trip to Switzerland in the 1970s.

 

[Bramling Cross]

Damn, that thing is nice and it looks like it's built like a bank vault. That's a keeper!

It's 0.3l, so just holds a 12oz pour, right up to the brim.

 

[Bramling Cross]

A glass of my hefeweizen on another hot day. To my embarrassment the keg started making groaning noises on this pour, that means I've plowed through about 4gal of hefe in a smidge over three weeks. I guess that's what happens when you don't brew one for 4-5 years.

 

[Bramling Cross]

Panther Piss Bum strength, the keg is about to kick and it’s starting to suck yeast again.

SA Winter Lager while I label my latest ginger beer batch.

HB tasty... American Brown Ale
I feel good.

 

[Beermeister32]

Racer 5 is one of the earlier IPAs brewed in California. I can remember drinking this first back around 2002 or so – that’s really quite a run if you think about it, 23 years ago!

Still a delicious West Coast IPA, Bear Republic brews Racer 5 in San Leandro, California. Wow, an IPA from the Bay area for a change! At 7.5% ABV, it’s one of the higher ABV IPAs for the time.

Nice predicable IPA flavor, halfway decent clarity, perfect carbonation, head and great lacing, this is a terrific example of a NorCal IPA. So great to find it here in SoCal, so much of the shelf space dominated by the San Diego brews.

Next time you are replenishing the bierhoard at Bevmo or Total Wine & More, chase this one down! It’s a great IPA!

My Kölsch will be ready soon. Thanks for sharing. For my version, I decided to use Hallertau Tradition hops this time.

Very tasty Imperial Stout while labeling latest Graham's English Cider. Alcohol on the nose but not the taste. Chocolate, dates, sweet, subtle banana, 12%. I like really it but I think my labels are more crooked than usual.

 

[Pennine]

3 down 2 to go hopefully in this keg of mild.

Thirsty Thursday vibes!
Work has been testing me lately. Time for a few cold ones.

This week while in Reston, VA for work. Dominion Beer & Wine, dinner with the boss one night, Aslin and Commonwealth the last two nights while enjoying some beers I brought down back at the hotel with my friend/coworker.
