What are you drinking now?

[lawdawg]

Smuttynose Vunderbar Pilsner

Saw smuttynose and figurrd you might be from my neck of the woods. So I stalked you and saw you are from Bedford. I'm from Roanoke but currently in Iowa. Have you been to apocalypse? Or Bigllick in Roanoke? Good stuff....

No breweries per se, but was able to pick up many very local and very fresh examples of beer. Really want to make it by Tree House next time I'm in Boston. Schedule was just a little too tight to make the stop. We did make it to Trillium's beer garden in downtown Boston. The peanut butter PM Dawn imperial stout was great!

Did bring back stuff from Trillium, Lawson's, Hermit Thrush, etc. Can't wait to try it all!

Well done on Thrush

I'm really into the quick turnaround beers these days....wits, neipa, etc.. what yeast did you use?

This is inspired by Focal Banger. Got a SSbrewbucket so was just playing around. Did not cold crash so a lot made it to the bottles but so far I’m impressed with the early returns.
This is a bells yeast I cultivated and is many iterations later. Always finishes dry...like 1.005

Pulled one from the cellar, wish they still made this

So far I love it! But I miss seeing what is going on. Gives great headspace and I got the BME so I put the fridge temp probe in the thermowell.

I only do 5gal batches?

@TwistedGray hb sour ipa

The sour smells great and there is a tiny bit of funk on the sip but it is incredibly clean. Hops are pretty faint. Do I smell some Jolly Pumpkin dregs in there?

The cider last night was good. Clean, dry and refreshing!

Training Wheels Berliner thread + session IPA blended at bottling. No dregs

I just opened up a Prickly Pear Mead (Papazian's recipe) that I bottled in 2007. It is in excess of 10%.

It has a light body with the flavor of agave, not too far off from a not too sweet Margarita.

I'm drinking a Westvleteren XII clone (extract) and it's pretty darn good. Would really enjoy the chance to taste the original.

Warsteiner Oktoberfest; just bought a case of it today at Costco. They didn't have Hofbrauhaus O'fest, just Warsteiner, Paulaner, and some American brands. Paulaner said it's a Marzen and the Warsteiner didn't, so I picked the Warsteiner. It's light-colored and tastes about like I remember the Hofbrau last year. Prost!

 

[TwistedGray]

Last of our French wine, ready to go home.

Nice glass, they are my go to shop.

Mine too, have everything I need and great customer service!!

Wet hop beers are my jam... i'll be in Washington, Oregon, California in mid to late October and I'm hoping I don't miss out....i'm hoping to get some stuff I could never get on the East Coast while I'm there

lawdawg let me know were you are going to be in Washington and maybe I can show you the Beermuda triangle of Poulsbo if we can pull it off. That would be; Slippery Pig, Valholl, Sound, Rainy Days, and Western Red Brewery. If you might be interested.

 

[duffy5018]

Against the grain, pile of face IPA

 

[Saunassa]

Bent Paddle Brewing Blueberry Blonde. Super tasty, enough hops to balance the malt. They use just enough fresh blueberry to do some of the bittering and not taste like you are drinking a glass of juice. Bought the growler fill at their taproom in Duluth and is so nice and fresh tasting.

 

[pshankstar]

Damn @Scturo this is tasty!! I love the heat and the creamy mouth feel on this beer!! It balances nicely! Well done sir!

A home brewed Habanero NEIPA. Cheers!

Which version?

 

[TwistedGray]

Back to Malone's with a new beer list, uh oh! No more lemon drop sours

Step 1: Guava Saison, good saison but no guava. Fake news!

How could you not try the Plum Saison? Again, where is the plucking plum!! Oh, quite a good saison.

Efffff it, might as well hit up their only sour on tap, and I've had this one a few days ago. Raspberry Sour which is on par with any berry sour I've had including my biased homebrew. And I made my French lady friend wait on me while o drank the last two. Smacked as "he" would say!!

 

[TwistedGray]

Errrrrrrrrr, it was that bad I forgot, popouri mouth bomb nitro sour as well, nope...gross!! Smooth, yes. Gross yah!! I slammed it ... No regrets!!

 

[pshankstar]

Which version?

I believe his latest one but not sure which batch number or version. All I know is that habanero NEIPA was excellent!!
