So I'm on the second pour and yeah... it's just really hot and boozy. The bourbon and maple are coming through, but the boozy heat just doesn't make it an enjoyable beer. I would still get one or two, but hang on to them for a couple years before drinking.

Figured, especially with molasses. Anyway, having another of these gems. New Holland Incorrigible White BA Sour.

Water. Getting ready to drive up to NYC for the day of running around, seeing a show and getting a nice dinner that I don't have to cook!

Good luck. NYC is really tough during Xmas week.

Coff here.
 
Black tea. Trying to decide what to brew. Was going to do BdG, but threw the stirbar and lost some yeast when they flask foamed over. Will probably do a cream ale instead. I'm about out of the whole corn I've been using, so if I do brew cream ale, I going to have experiment with corn meal.
 
Fell asleep last night in the middle of drinking my Backwoods Bastard. Woke back up at about 5 and finished it.
Now drinking water.

Atta boy.

Couple saturday morning grav samples here. Oerbier inspired brew from last Saturday is at 1.019. Very please with the results. Wondering what the brett I pitched with the sacc and lacto in primary will do to FG. Need to pick up another 5G secondary so I don't have to leave it on the yeast for bulk aging. Pale ale I added brett to is down .002 to 1.011, but still visibly quite active. Not sure how long I'll let it go before bottling. If I had an idea of where this strain will finish, I'd like to dry hop and bottle to let it carbonate. Might throw some Nelson in there for a week and bottle still if it's hit 1.008 by then. That would save me from having to buy yet another better bottle.
 
Coffee after a few out of the Sam Adams seasonal 12er (my wife picked it up thinking she might like a few but didn't) BC Barleywine, Founders breakfast stouts and a couple of home brew stouts last night and a two year old to wake me up this morning
 
Drank a lot last night. Had four pints of tank 7 at dinner, came back and kept drinking and almost got this bad boy for free, didnt work out tho :(

So did you not get it or did you and have to pay up?:D
Coffee, after breakfast.

Didnt get it. It was a gift to the girlfriends parents and her mom doesnt drink so she offered it to us before dinner. The GF told her we couldnt accept it!!!! I figured by the end of dinner I could have talked her into letting us take it but it didnt happen :mad:

Awesome. Enjoy your trip. What show are you seeing?
 
Got my rental, my car in the body shop, took my stupid mandatory drug test.

At least I'm getting a proper breakfast out of it. Eggs, bangers, bacon, grilled tomatoes and mushrooms. And beans. Washing it down with iced mango ceylon.

Plan to hit the hard stuff early and hard when I get home.
 
Beer Camp #95 imperial red ale.

I really like red IPA type beers.

Currently cooking a big Christmas dinner with friends before I go home to the parents on Monday. We went to see the Muppets Christmas Carol earlier. It was fun.
 
HB Tripel on the front porch. Great weather outside.

My friend went to NEBCO today as they opened their new brewery across the road from the old one. He got there 45 minutes after they opened and said there were about 50 people in line and many with 2-3 growlers. Ridiculous. That's why I go there on weekdays at noon. The craft beer scene reminds me of the sneaker scene. People overpaying for beer, camping-out and doing whatever it takes to get a new/limited release. Bummer.

Or maybe it's just me?

Humbug.
 
He just messaged me to say a lot of the people in line had 6-8 growlers to fill. Jesus Christ!

If NEBCO is that ridiculous, I don't want to know what The Alchemist is like.
 
Can't blame her because both of our schedules this past week were insane, but the Mrs. left me tons of laundry to do this weekend...and there's nothing I hate more than doing laundry. If I have enough of these maybe I'll forget that I even did any wash today.

I had to wait till today to get 12 bottles of my robust vanilla porter in the fridge after a couple days shy of 3 weeks carb time. Got the stouts in the fridge last Wednesday. Get some pics maybe Christmas eve. Last night,I tried one of the Whiskely stouts, It smelled of rwice-oaked bourbon,but the taste was slightly roasty coffee flavor. Godd,but bummer the bourbon flavor is already gone.
 
My HB Barista Brown coffee brown while being happy I decided against going to Kuhnhenn for Winter Solstice release today. Heard from a friend that it's turned into a total nightmare. People waiting for hours for their beer and not getting stuff they preordered and overrun by ****** hipsters who probably have no clue what they're buying.
