Imperial porter brewed in Tuscaloosa. Malty, coffee, a little chocolate, nice sweet/bitter balance, 9.2%. One of my favorite AL brewed beers.

The wine is gone. On to bier.
There’s something about a well-crafted German Lager that really rings all the bells – case in point, Hofbräuhaus Helles Lager. They sell traincars full of this fantastic beverage. As a Helles, what are we looking for? – Maltiness but not overly filling or cloying. DRINKABILITY. Restrained hopping, this is a beer to showcase the malt - with just enough hoppiness to keep things balanced. Great head and lacing, and a fantastic clarity. These are all the markers of a professionally made Helles. This is the same beer that the Beermeister32 clan indulged in at the Hofbräuhaus in Las Vegas a couple years back.
When I say drinkability, this is the one they fill your hearty Maßkrug full of over and over again. I was talking to Beer-Loving Daughter #2 recently about some delicious but heavy and weird Bourbon-barrel aged Stout she recently drank – a huge Stout with all the other stuff going on – lactose probably, vanilla flavor from the Bourbon barrel, and probably a bit of sourness from the kegs they were using. In all, a whole lot going on, and it was all you had in your human fortitude to drink a pint.
Compare that to a fantastic and drinkable Helles like this. This is a hugely chugworthy beer – One you chug, refill and chug some more! I’m sitting here two paragraphs in and my pint is already near the bottom.… time for a re-fill! They say that’s how you score real success in a beer – do you want another?? !!! Prost!

From Spyglasses Oktoberfest. A Collab with local stores. First time having salvo. Does add intense hop flavor. Didn't get intense aroma. Maybe a light dank aroma. Nice little triple hopped IPA at just over 7%
A community collaboration with our Nashua, NH friends Zimmermanns & Goodale's Bike Shop. A hazy IPA hopped with Galaxy, Motueka, and Amarillo, then triple dry hopped with Salvo+.

Pauliner Pils and a hint of tonights dinner.
