Drinking Hong Kong Coffee (coffee and green tea), a habit I picked up from working in China. I make mine by dropping a jasmine tea pearl (hand picked tea leaf rolled into a little ball with a jasmine flower) into a tea ball, and doing a pour over on top of that. I use the cheapest coffee I can get. I'm still drinking Aldi coffee that was less than 4 dollars for 30 oz. (I stocked up before coffee went through the roof, only have 1 more left). Same darn can is 10 or 11 dollars now. I think the method used to prepare has more influence over the taste than the coffee itself.

HB Kölsch, before the clouds rolled in..

 

[Willy]

HB English Brown - still carbing but at about 90% done... Really good and fresh. Nice malt blend and EKG/fuggles. Oh yeah.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

BBq from Terry Black's in Austin. Salt/pepper rub. Pretty good stuff! Or maybe that's just the wallet talking.

VB team completed a reverse sweep..oh the drama

Could drink this all day everyday while eating turkey burgers w spicy pickles.

Sharing a tasty brew with my son.

I had a Henninger Lager here last month and mentioned that it more or less split the difference between a Helles and a Pilsner. Well that hasn’t changed, they’ve been cranking it out since 1869!

I really love the clarity of well-made Lagers. Well, let me qualify that – the ones that are SUPPOSED to be clear. I’d love to see Henninger’s process here, it truly is like looking through a diamond. Now that’s fining!

Boss hasn't called yet to work OT tomorrow...we know what that means

After-dinner digestif of HM limoncello.

Delicious oatmeal stout

 

[buckinin]

Relegated to the “Sun room”, which ironically is kind of dark at night, to watch some football.

Yesterday-

Happy Labor Day.
With morning coffee.

 

[hopfenstopfen]

Only had the egg for a few weeks, lots of fun. Never really cooked with charcoal before, but enjoying it so far.

OT: Veil juice before I do a dry month!

 

[Dgallo]

Grabbed a few 4 packs from fidens today. This triple is really good!

Today I’m drinking a Maßkrug of delicious California Pilsner. Wait, did you say “California” Pilsner? Yes, San Diego’s Alesmith Anvil Pilsner!

This is Southern California’s finest and best in my opinion. Close your eyes and you’re drinking one of the best Bavarian Pilsners out there. Amazing you can find this being made in the US. During a couple of my recent Pilsner and Faux German beer tours, I was looking for some of the finest currently being produced in the West. Northern California’s Trumer immediately comes to mind, the award winning Pilsner being produced at their Berkeley facility, a mere 5962 miles from the Mothership in Salzburg, Austria. Other contenders are the delicious Volksbier Alt being produced by Three Weavers. Another West-coast produced Pilsner which I’m spending more time with is Bellingham, Washington’s Aslan Brewing and their scrumptious Coastal Pils.

So, yes it’s possible! These are some of best and most current West-Coast produced German-style brews, and I’m drinking them all! I’ll dutifully report back when I find more, so until then … Prost… Dude! Totally Tubular!

Round 2…. Fidens and Wayward Lanes collab. Wayward has been killing the past 3 years in both nation and nys commercial competition being named best NY brewery 2 of the 3 years. Love seeing them use Columbus and it comes through with a great dankness in the finish

I loved wayward lane when we went. Thanks for reccomending it, OT last night got outta hand, had a 9.5% ipa from tin barn, then found this in the back of the fridge, aligning the telescope was probably funny to watch.

 

[MaxStout]

Camping in a nearby state park in the tiny camper. With the Labor Day crowds gone it's kind of quiet here.

Having a HB Doppelbock.

 

[RumOnTheDocks]

The last of my HB dark mild. It wouldn't have lasted this long had I not forgotten about the two bottles at the very back of the fridge.
The good news is that a new batch is currently fermenting and not a minute too soon.

We did just the opposite. Went boondocking in the motorhome at a Farm to Market on Tuesday, a winery on Wednesday, a State Park in the Shenandoah Mountains on Thursday and a brewery on Friday night. The first three nights were remarkably quiet, the Friday crowds were not.

But friendly people at every stop, and nearly perfect weather throughout. Crowded roads on the Saturday afternoon drive home, but that was to be expected. Had a great bargain getaway before things got too insane.

 

[Willy]

Working on a HB Irish Stout Guiness style. Low ABV, malty and delicious

 

[Rish]

Destin brewed Berliner Weisse, kettle soured with blueberry and pomegranate. Not too sour, fruit almost undetectable. Pretty refreshing, though.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Let the festivities begin... again..TIPA

Anything you're interested in looking at tonight? @bailey mountain brewer

 

[SkyPilot]

Today is my Sunday.
Celebrating with a homemade German Dampfbier or steam beer.
Cheers

Wow. Great looking beer! That head looks like you used a soft serve ice cream machine to dispense it.

 

[Rish]

HM blackcurrant wine. Nice little bit of sweetness to follow the sour beer I had earlier.

Latest experiment on the zen of brewing. I am trying to kaizan the brewing process and strip it down to its essential elements. This is a "Big Basin Amber Ale" that I bottled in a Sam Adams bottle. I stopped making labels and indicate the contents by the color of the cap (same cost regardless of color) or mark the cap with a sharpie. After that I even stopped soaking off labels. I just rinse the bottle out after I drink it (2-3 times and swirl a bottle brush around in there), stack it on the bottle tree until ready to bottle. Then I hit it with star san (bottle and cap) paying close attention to the area of the bottle the cap seals on.

Got some baseball steaks for dinner. With 19 Crimes Shiraz. Got #16 - stealing a shroud out of a grave. (There were 19 crimes you could be sent to Australia for.)

More spamming of clams

Is that Marie Kondo?

 

[pshankstar]

These over the Labor Day weekend. Cheers!

 

[TexasTea]

Is that Marie Kondo?

I had no idea who that was and had to google it. Nope, not Marie Kondo (but I would like to let her loose in my sock drawer) and walk in closet.

The backstory on that is I bought it at a yard sale and recognized it as a possible old Pre WWII Chinese cigarette advertisement. The script looks old Chinese or Taiwanese (pre Communist China). Check out the cylinder of cigarettes on the bench to the left of the lady. I'm thinking the script (in red across the top) may have something to with cigarettes? although the last symbol (rectangle with a line through the middle) is the symbol for China (pronounced Zhong). There is a long story behind that symbol . I speak a little tiny bit of mandarin Chinese and read even less.
