What are you drinking now?

[banesong]

Soccer game for the wee one. Pics from last night. First was the BOS table at the comp. 52 real Ales, served in pin or from a beer engine. Second was my last bier before bed.

On topic, water at the moment, store later for tomorrow's rib smoking.

My cascade pale ale. Gonna use only the hops I grew and change the hop schedule slightly.

Coffee, putting the baby down for a nap. Then maybe baking cookies if we have everything.

 

[mhurst111]

Boil started. Time for a little pick me up in the coffee.
Thanks @beermeduffman

That beer there is only maybe 3.50 per bottle, much much less if you buy by the case. My state has much higher taxes though.

How much cheaper the bottle by buying by the case? Which state are you in? Cheers

Soccer game for the wee one. Pics from last night. First was the BOS table at the comp. 52 real Ales, served in pin or from a beer engine.

How were the categories/entries organized? I ask because I judged a BOS a couple of weeks ago using the 2015 BJCP guidelines and the number of beers in the BOS were nearly double from the last one I did, which was using 2008 guidelines. Here's a pic from that one:

I think it was a total of 38 in that BOS panel, and it was a pretty tough BOS and took a long time to get through. I can't imagine doing that for 52 beers after a long day of judging.

I go through that stuff like it was water. Love it

Much cheaper by the case, better yet buying it in a different state lol. I'm in Pennsylvania currently, but I'm only 20 minutes from new Jersey

Brew day complete 5.5 gallons in the better bottle. Time for a beer.

Just got back from a new brewery tasting, gave out 1 ounce samples of double IPA that had no hop presence, and English brown that was barely brown and a pale that was blah.

Ask for another sample of the double IPA and was refused. Guess who isn't getting any of my money?

I would have told them so straight up with the standard "not to be a dick, but..." Disclaimer one makes before they're about to be a dick.

Water. Hanging with the GFs grandparents. On my most mediocre behavior, after a few beers.

Well they aren't exactly new, but they're planning to open their brewery/tap room in Sioux Falls soon. They are contract brewing out of Wisconsin.

They knew I wasn't real happy and told them they were lackluster. A dipa with no dry hop? Oh, and they call a 6.5% 88 IBU beer a 'dipa.'

Wasn't trying to be a dick but they started it. Lol

It was a real ale competition. 6 tables, 2 moving to BOS from each. Flights were 7-9 beers each. Lot of fun, but a lot of work.

Water, shopping. Booo.

I figured it was them. I already skewered them on Untappd for their 12 week preaging process on their IPA.

Too sweet for me but I see the appeal.

Yeah, I won't crack another NYFRB unless I have a scoop of vanilla ice cream for it.

First pour of my 8.5% dubbel.
