What are you drinking now?

[Beer_me_plz]

Drinking My house ESB. The Keg is almost gone and it's to the point of perfect clarity and hoppy-malty merriness. It seems so bittersweet (pun intended) the last part is always in perfect unison.

Man you must be just hammered..

No, its just easy to make threats to someone halfway across the country.
And I'm almost out of Sucks, so I'm mad about that.

Can't you just drive to the store and buy more? Isn't it available pretty much everywhere?

 

[DisturbdChemist]

Poured my very first beer on my new kegerator. It's an oat mild coming in at 3.8%. Massive flavors for this beer. I think I got my house beer. And the little guy is my ipa I just kegged. It's different, it has a melon/citrus to it. I think it was the experimental hop I used. I took it from the bottom so it has a lot of trub.

[Swarley88]

Oh yes, this is tasty.

 

[Qhrumphf]

My Black IPA

 

[jonmohno]

Alesmith IPA,really? A beer this good? And the lower price it has? Nope,too good to be true. This is great but damn... their bloody valentine? holy craps.

 

[BrewinHooligan]

On to my Irish Red. My taste buds don't know how to adjust after 3 Sucks...Anyone have a Sucks clone recipe??? I need MORE!!!!!

 

[nukebrewer]

This is my first carbed up taste of my American stout which really isn't all that American. Not nearly enough late hop character to be called American. I used some oats in it so I could technically enter it as an oatmeal stout. Of course, now that I am thinking about it I realize my mistake. I forgot to compensate for the fuller body so I used the same amount of hops I would have used for a lighter bodied beer of the same late hop character I was going for. Oh well, live and learn. It's still a great beer that I think would do well as an oatmeal stout. I think I'm going to call it Benedict Arnold's Oatmeal Stout.

 

[HoppyDaze]

Redbull vodka as an appetizer for home brew

 

[Qhrumphf]

My Hefe.

 

[nukebrewer]

I'm on call all weekend for work so I need to stick to session strength beers like my 9.2% old ale. Still a little green, but I think it'll be good by the time first round comes around. I'm going to go ahead and enter it.

 

[DisturbdChemist]

Drink four roses bourbon and smoking a cigar. It been too long my friend

 

[NordeastBrewer77]

So far, the highlight of my night.,,,

 

[allenH]

Cream of 3 crops, only 6 days on gas. Still pretty cloudy and a bit tart. It looks like lemonade in the glass, tastes great (even with the tartness). I will probably add some gelatin to the keg to speed up the clarity.

hop slam on tap. first time ever having it and oh my it is amazing on draft. now i need to find a bottle to compare yea thats what it is to test the differences i'll belive that. Oh yea i had 2 pints and it was mighty tasty

 

[SFGiantsFan925]

Another from a trade. My first ever Troegs. I'm liking it so far. Havnt had too many Imperial Ambers. It's good though.

Waaaaaay better on tap. The hops are far more subdued from the bottle. If you do get bottles, pour very aggressively.

As good as it is, and as rare a treat, I prefer a Two Hearted.

Two Hearted is much better. Hopslam ain't worth 18 a sixer. Its good though.

(nods) Mmmhmmmm, I hear ya buddy. May wanna back off the 10%ers though......


FWIW, it's far far far better on tap, and the guys above are right, 2Htd is a much more pleasant beverage. YMMV.

 

[1fast636]

ya i need to find two hearted too if i see it there are six other beers that look better but i think i might have to just grab it now that i am hear so much good about it. ill keep it in mid if i happen to find some hop slam in bottles. i was alittle pissed because i had no head in my glass so the aroma wasnt as good as it could have been but i did get a few more ozs of some good beer so it is what it is

 

[SFGiantsFan925]

Worst part of this evening is that I am missing a "Yeast Series" from Mekeller at a local watering hole. 6 beers, all the same grain bill, mash temp, hop schedule. Everything the same. But they are using different yeasts for all 6 to show how yeast can change a beer. Instead the wfie and I are watching "The Bachelor". Anyone have a gun and a bullet?? Haha

 

[Qhrumphf]

My Strawberry Blonde. 2 good homebrews followed by a crap one! At this point I think I'm just torturing myself with this beer to punish myself for failure. Hah. :cross:

Screw the bachelor. Say you need to get something from the store like milk/condoms/etc. And go try them

That's the rule in my house, you punish yourself for making bad beer by drinking it.
