What are you drinking now?

[TheCADJockey]

I'm drinking dark chocolate & raspberry greek yogurt and a tangerine.

Anybody belong to a homebrew club? I'm thinking about joining one but not exactly sure what you do at meetings. I heard everybody brews the same beer and then comparisons are made? If it's just sitting around drinking talking about beer I'm in.

I technically belong to 3 at the moment (two events I participate in require membership in the local club to attend). My main club, the meetings really depend on what's going on at the time. Sometimes, we talk about beer styles and taste homebrew and commercial examples. Sometimes, we talk about upcoming events and/or parties. We usually have a monthly club brew separate from the meeting where a brave soul volunteers to host and have some indeterminate number of members show up to their brew day and heckle and mock them if they do something worthy of being heckled and mocked. Oh, and raid their beer stash. If you're lucky, they'll bring beer too.

We have also had internal 'competitions' where some of the BJCP guys will do an informal little judging of beers and pick a 'winner'. And we're currently running some exBEERiments with various club member suggested parameters.

Oh, Coff

Thanks all, I'm sure I'll be fine, introduced to the new owner, seems nice enough, said he's heard good things abut me.
Coffee.

 

[Floored]

Ohhhh... whoops. Sorry about that.

My buddy Dusty works at Miner. Not sure if you ran into him or not.

Anyway, this thread is all about derails.

I'm not even drinking anything.

I made a call before we went. We knew what the deal was and it was my wife's idea to wait while I had beer. If I'm ever back through, Monk's is on the list.
Unfortunately I don't remember the guys name at Miner. I would definitely recommend them to anyone traveling in the area.
Thanks again for the tips.

More coffee.

The benefits of being in CO. We only have one local brewery (NOLA and the Northshore have most of the breweries), so most of our events wind up being at steakhouses. HP once failed gloriously with a "beers and ears" presentation on one of their storage systems by sending reps from both CA and TX, and then they wait until they get here and stop at a frigging pharmacy to pick up beer. The Heineken they brought is still in the fridge.

Yes. Denver has way too many breweries right now and the marketing people are taking advantage of that. I get invited to an IT event at a brewery at least every other month. They tend to stick with the more well known ones, but a couple places will go to some of the smaller start-ups (first time i ever went to this place was due to an event - http://desteegbrewing.com/).

Coffee at the office...

Thanks for the most part that sounds fun to me.

Hopefully it works out if you like the new management!

Drinking coffee while yet more rain is coming through the area. Hopefully the golf tournament I'm in this weekend doesnt get rained out....

Did you try the brett dubbel? Sounds pretty interesting.

pretty sure it wasn't available when i was there. They are tiny - i think a 1 barrel system. take the virtual tour from their website- behind the bar is the brewery. That's it. They change out beer based on what the brewer / owner feels like making.

Our serving setup even got it's own thread a few years ago:

Southern Tier IPA - no pic, don't do that when boss is buying.

 

[TheCADJockey]

Aaaand... now I want to go out and drink instead of go home and cook. Thanks boss.

Do it or go get a bottle of scotch and have a business meeting in an empty conference room.

I wish my boss was cool like that.

My boss's favorite joke is to offer to grab you a beer at a company funuction and come back woth a glass of water, or an O'Doul's. It's a riot, choking down a NA before excusing yourself to get a real beer.

But don't you have your salad with petite diced ham that you didn't eat for lunch? Can't you just serve that for dinner along with a mix-sixer?

Water here ... looks like Tired Hands is in my future again tonight...

My boss considers himself a beer connoisseur because he drinks IPA's. I just let it slide when he's buying. Its worth it just to get out of the office.

Hah. I completely forgot about my salad. I've got dinner to go! Thanks dude you're the best.

So the only one drinking today is the guy who isnt supposed to be?!

Man this has become awesome since the last one i had. Citra rye saison, emphasis on the citra. Lots of hops in this bad boy! Delicious. Love the color too. Already rebrewed this but need to add to the list again! View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1433357634.525302.jpgView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1433357651.355835.jpg

 

[Psylocide]

Citra hops are over.

 

[finsfan]

Haha thats alright. You can stop buying them so there's more for us.

 

[TheCADJockey]

Nugget is the new Citra.

 

[finsfan]

You two make a great couple.

 

[Psylocide]

I'm just trying to avoid them for a while due to my overuse of them, they've been the star in my last 3 brews.

Really excited for this current one.

OG: 1.055
50ish IBU
Columbus FWH
Columbus/Galaxy/Spruce tips @ 15
Simcoe/Cascade/Galaxy @ F/O Hopstand

Haven't decided on the dry hop yet... thinking Columbus or Simcoe or both.

I'll send you a pound of whole leaf nugget to funk that thing up with.
