One of my all time favorites
$2.50/19oz Vegan drink. Can't go wrong. Next up, Total Recall, original
Blueberry lager. I like it 
Awwww, #(%*@_!@!!! After weeks spent trying to unsuccessfully kill a keg of Panther Piss Bum Strength, my keg of house ordinary bitter suddenly kicked out of the blue. Spiteful, hateful things these kegs are. They know what they're doing, don't tell me they don't know. They're plotting, they are!
Luckily, I had a keg aging in the ale fermenter fridge. I thought it would be in there for a month, so I didn't fine it. Hell, I didn't even cold crash it in the fermenter. At least I can throw the ale fermenter back in there and put it to work again.
Here's a UK-style ale with no style into which it properly fits. The objective was to make the most obnoxiously UK-ish ale that this dumb Yank can imagine. It has been a back burner project for years. I think I'm pretty close with this one. It's an all malt ale comprised of Simpson's Otter to 1.045 with 2.5% Simpson's medium crystal and 2.5% Crisp brown malt. I fermented it with my darling Fuller's strain. It's an intensely UK-ish grist balanced with Fuggles and EKGs. Unfortunately the brown kicks it out of any of Gordon Strong's style categories, but I enjoy flipping him the bird--at least when I can. I'd like him a lot more if he didn't have a habit of being right most of the time.

Latest arancello. Dialed it back to ~33 proof v. 45, much smoother, nice orange flavor, sweetness comes through with less backsweetening, not a cloudy. I like it.

Went to a wedding held on a farm an hour north of here. Neighbor's kid getting hitched. Outdoor ceremony, reception in a big tool shed. It was 90 and humid, but about 10 coolers filled with decent beer and bottled water on ice. A good time was had, nonetheless.

Staying light when it's hawt in the south
I think King JJJuliusss is the best neipa I've ever had.
I would be a hard argument to lose. I'm a big fan of Hill Farmstead Abner. A good argument to discuss
They just had their anniversary. It's been coming up on the rotation frequently. I'll keep an eye out for our. I'm sure we could work something out. Your HB's look tasty....and your landscaping
Don't lift!
Vodka, olive juice and tonic. Needed something ice cold and refreshing. Im sweating while sitting still.
Trying something new, this thing called a "Tropical Hazy IPA". Anyone else ever heard of them?? 
Edit, tastes like a decent home brew.

Having a crowler of chocolate stout from the now-defunct Alloy Brewing. Not too shabby, and much better than their Roggenbier I had a few days ago.
No, that's not a chilled mug. I walked out back to take the pic and the humidity did the rest. I went back inside to enjoy the beer, because, y'know, only mad dogs and Englishmen...

Dregs of my Voodoo Lava run through a coffee filter so it’s nice and clean

Today I’m doing some “end of the parade sweep up” – finishing up some of the Michigan beers which somehow went unopened from the Beermeister32 clan’s visit last weekend!
Short’s Brewing is a favorite Michigan brewer, with locations in Bellaire and Elk Rapids, Michigan. Beer-Loving Daughter #3 sent out a bunch of Short’s products to me in California a couple weeks back. Today’s brew is their tasty “Local’s Amber American Amber Lager,” a 4.7% amber brew.
Funny thing, I wasn’t reading this can that closely – I originally thought I was drinking an Amber Ale – Nope! I thought it tasted a bit too clean to be a typical Amber Ale, and sure enough, there it is right there on the can – Amber Lager!
This is a delicious Lager, not much head or lacing, and the body seems a touch on the thin side, but it is delicious, an easy Friday or Saturday night glugger. Open wide, and tip it back and dump it in! Cheers!

Living like it's 1550! Ah, the good 'ol days....
Those Dunkels are delicious
Time flys, Belgian blond.
Easy beer in the heat, mowed for an hour. Got maybe do another hour tomorrow.
My impression of going out...
We've been in Austin for 31yrs now. With the constant cloud cover, this has to be the coolest summer we've had. Take it while it lasts.
HB SMASH pale
Franzishaner hefeweissbier. Haven't had a beer from this brewery before and I'm glad I found it. Subtle clove and banana, not too much carbonation, very tasty. From Munich since 1363 so I guess they know what they're doing. This is good.

I'm pretty sure that qualifies as a salad in Russia.
Couple of these for lunch and still cheaper then Wendy's! 
More water, otherwise known as a WCIIIPA.
Cranberry margarita.
Aldi light wheat with tangerine peel. Not bad.
Hb cream ale with "sushi bowl" for dinner, crappy beer pic, way darker so I took a second pic of the beer, a little better.
