What are you drinking now?

[allenH]

Some people like it aged, I never understood why. In my opinion, fresh is best with that one.

As a rule, I don't age anything with coffee or coconut more than a few months. I aged a BCBCS for a year and wished I didn't, so much better fresh. I think coconut ages out faster than coffee. YMMV.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Takeout. Root Beer (felt like it) and lamb shank w/ rice and fava beans.

I agree. Aging something with adjuncts like coffee, vanilla, etc. defeats the whole purpose of the beer.

You get much Persian food there in TX? I find that surprising.

I don't know the name of the dish (lamb, basmati rice, dill, fava beans) but it's damned good.

You can find any cuisine your heart or stomach desires in Houston.

Lol I also find that surprising, but my experience with Texas is admittedly very limited (drove through that upper part once, never want to do that again).

 

[val214]

HB IPA hopped with Columbus, centennial, cascade and Galaxy. Not bad.

People out of state tend to think of TX as a whole as some backwoods, country redneck of a state. Met a guy about 10 years ago that was visiting for the first time and was surprised to see we don't all ride horses everywhere and draw all our water from a well. And he was dead serious.
This state is so huge that there's a little bit of everything, though. The Houston area alone is made up of so many different cultures. There are actual neighborhoods where the street signs aren't even in English. (Which I don't agree with, but that's an argument for a different time and place)

Celebration. Watching Pitch Perfect 2 with the wife. Anna Kendrick, enough said.

I've heard Austin is interesting, but I tend to hear of even Houston and Dallas being backwoods country redneck as far as cities go. Glad to hear that's not the case.

She's hot in a very weird way, but hot nonetheless. Not sure I'd subject myself to the torture that those movies likely are just for her, but hey, I've probably watched a lot worse for a lot less.

Austin is a neat city to visit once in a while. But, there are too many weirdos and hipsters for my liking.

 

[chisena]

Im not sure it would be accurate to call Dallas "Backwoods Country Redneck"

I enjoy weirdos. Hipsters I can't deal with. Around here there's a lot of the latter and not enough of the former.

OT, another NYFRB. Go look at the previous pic, not like it's the same can or anything.

Bottle bucket dregs of the mild. I got 8 bombers and 30 odd 12 oz. out of it. Tons of delicious beer that won't knock me in my ass. Good idea @Qhurumphf

 

[Qhrumphf]

Seltzer water then bed.

 

[1977Brewer]

Seltzer water then bed.

Plain water then bed for me. That 10 oz. of flat mild did me in.

I keep spelling your screen name wrong. Starting to think I'm doing it on purpose.

True. I'm glad mine is so long, people just call me 77.

Now I'm wishing I had more dregs. Wide awake.

Happy (belated) Birthday Mike!

Any good? I remember reading about them before they opened.

Had a bottle of my quad earlier. This is the first bottle I have tried since reyeasting a 6-pack with some champagne yeast. After 6 months, they were all completely flat. Champagne yeast seems to have fixed that after about 6 weeks. It is no longer flat sweet booze-tea. @finsfan I think I sent you one of these - should be good to go whenever.

How did you do this, uncap, inject with a bit of hydrated yeast and recap or did you pour them all back into a bucket to mix with the yeast?

Water, Monday's don't suck as bad on really short weeks.

Uncap, sprinkle dry yeast, recap, shake.

Coffee. Just mashed in.

Concur, they played the long game. My youngest has co-opted the gifts to play with.

Coffee. Had this as a night cap last night.

Coffee. Hard

 

[pointcity-homebrew]

Coffee, 2 hours until we see Star Wars. It will be nice to be in a theater with ~20 people vs 100 people.



Happy Birthday @mhurst111

On my third 32oz water after 2 cups of coffee. Sober me needs to leave a note for drunk me to go to bed on Sunday night, Mondays suck enough on their own.
