What are you drinking now?

Appropriate glassware

 

[camonick]

Go for it, i would say it's still in style so why not.

Thanks…
I probably will. I’ve got nothing to lose. The last few years, there have only been just a few other people besides myself enter anything in the contest anyhow… hell, there are only 4 very vague categories. Last year I had the only beer in one of the categories and got first place by default.

HB NEIPA

That's absurd! Very, very nicely done, sir.

Thank you!!! I got this recipe from @wepeeler and it is so good. One of my favorites. Citra and Mosiac hops. I use White Labs Costal Haze yeast.

Killer beer. I have that recipe archived. Looks great, Nick!

Very good choice. Mine is Very Hazy.

This regional Pilsner is great. I’m hoping the kids don’t eat all their nuggets and fries so I can clean their plates lol

I’m a hazy series fan my self. My two favorite TH IPAs are their Bright Series especially with Citra and very hazy! Summer and Treat are also great beers

 

[RCope]

HB Mango IPA. My backyard mango trees were loaded this year...brewing a Mango Wheat this weekend. Thankfully, mango and beer go well together. And Nick gets around ;-)

 

[Beermeister32]

Here’s our final Short’s beer, I drank them all!

Bellaire Brown is a tasty 7% ABV traditional Brown Ale, named in honor of their Bellaire, Michigan hometown.

Nice flavor, brown with a touch of reddish showing through, Bellaire Brown has somewhat restrained hopping, a small amount of head and lacing, medium carbonation.

This is another Short’s beer that is an easy glugger – it really belies the 7% ABV - Bellaire Brown really drinks more like a 4-5% beer. Tip your head back and dump it in. Cheers!

 

[Rish]

This is a great tasting stout.

Bright with citra is killer, I am also a fan of ghost emoji. And a few others, haze is solid. Sheeesh anyway, back to hb helles, I can't seem to get a good pic of this beer, its a touch lighter and clearer, even in the house with ac at 75 its sweating, 100f ish outside so is what it is. After picking some of the garden I took this beer to the shower, I'll leave that pic out of it, haha.

Edit, actually that is a decent pic color wise, but the condensation is interfering with the clarity. I've had 6 or so, keep sweating them out and they're super crushable in this heat.

 

[day_trippr]

The sweating glass thing is enough of an aesthetic turn-off I've not been taking many hero shots lately
100°F and humidity that somehow survives the AC does that...

Don't beat yourself up, man. I'm dealing with it too and it's no fun. Fortunately, I've found a trick that seems to work. If I rinse my glass thoroughly in my lovely 84F tap water before pouring, it seems to keep the fogging at bay for long enough to get a passable photo.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

I'm on well water and now working from home again. Haven't been using much at the house except the last few weeks watering tons of well water in the garden. Coffee pot measured the water at 52° this morning. Makes for one hell of a shower after a long hot day.

So I’m buying a soda and topping off fuel.

Inside the store paying for my soda, the cashier, a 30-something math whiz tells me “that will be $2.27” as it showed $2.27 on the blue digital cash register screen. I handed her two $1 bills and a Kennedy 50-cent piece.

She looks bewildered, thinks about it, opens the drawer and gives me 3 cents change. I tell her “you owe me 23 cents.” She gets testy and says you gave me a 50 cent piece, I owe you 3 cents.”

Not wanting to make a big deal, but still press my point, I said, “no you owe me three cents plus two dimes.” Incensed and wanting me to go away to attend the others in line, she hits the cashier drawer open button, and gives me one dime. I again corrected her, I said no you owe me two dimes. She finally gave me the final dime to get rid of me.

She never got it!

Should have blown her mind and given her $5.27.

Maybe she thinks that if there are 60 minutes in an hour there would be 60 cents to a dollar.

Or she's just stupid.

Why not both?

Haha I grew up in a family nursery, greenhouses, and produce store. My grandfather would make me count peoples change back and if I messed up he would always make me apologize for the delay and fix it without any help.

Its the reason I use addition to solve subtraction problems lol

Denny's waiter, we were our own register so calculated change and percentages. Sure helped later in life.

 

[Bramling Cross]

Boddington's? I can do Boddington's. Here's my take on the '71 Boddington's recipe.

 

[bailey mountain brewer]

I was a gas station attendant, so been counting change back since then. I still work in retail, manage an auto parts store, a few years ago they added a feature to enter what the customer pays and it will do the math for you, I only use it when Im really hungover and dont trust myself to math.

The Beermeister32 clan is well trained if anything. Check out the timely text I received today from Beer-Loving Daughter #1. Tomorrow is International Beer Day. All I can say besides excellent info is “Let’s get a head start on it today!” Aecht Schlenkerla here we come!

There’s a big place in my heart for Rauchbiers. Their smokiness takes you right back to the 14th Century. Not only does it take you back to Old Europe, but it takes you back to a time when the primary way of drying malt was over a fire. All that smoky goodness finds its way into the beer, and most of the beers of this time and place were likely very smoky indeed.

I can remember when my dear Mother was kicking her nasty cigarette smoking habit, once and for all. She did it in part by eating a lot of Chili Cheese Fritos chips - she was looking for that characteristic bite! If I’d had some Aecht Schlenkerla Eiche to give her, it might have done the trick too! Ugh… but then again maybe not – a couple gulps from a pint of smoky Doppelbock and she might have started up smoking all over again!

8% ABV, kilned over oak wood, it’s a delicious thing. Don’t let the first experience chase you off, it grows on you. Prost!
