What are you drinking now?

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Need to kill something. HB BA RIS

 

[camonick]

Another HB Pilsner and a HB Munich Dunkel

 

[TwistedGray]

Yes, every year I make a blackberry wheat. The bushes are still flowering! So I’m thinking my blackberry wheat and a blackberry kettle sour this year. I’m currently looking at options to keep the wort at 90 degrees for a kettle sour, a brew belt, carboy wrap or a radiant heat pad.

Try co pitching...I just did a batch and it came out perfectly fine. It eliminates the need to maintain kettle souring temps.

 

[TwistedGray]

My pluot sour. I tried the co pitching method, and it worked out fine. I pitched eight capsules; I never took a gravity reading, but fortunately I only did one sample bottle from the Anvil. So I'll do that before bottling the rest. It should end pretty low on the ABV scale.

Oh, and it's a ******* sexy beer to look at, isn't it?

I have to thank @wstbrewing for the glass. This thing gets the most use of any of my glassware, love it : )

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Free 12pk of low fill local Amber. I'll take it. Hoping to move into brewpub by late afternoon.

 

[pshankstar]

Airport beer number one.

 

[pshankstar]

#2 and my flight is already delayed. Ugh. This is why I would rather drive.

 

[pshankstar]

Fingers crossed this is my last here and they don’t delay the flight anymore.

Delayed flights have taken a more serious undertaking since traveling with a baby - 1 and 1/2 year old....every extra minute feels like eternity. The days of having another beer while waiting for a flight are long gone. Either way man, I hope that’s your last beer.......at the airport at least [emoji12]

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Finally settled on colors. Yellow was free...but it's got to go. Another free amber

 

[treacheroustexan]

Hb kolsch.

Not drinking M-W makes that 1st beer on Thursday go down like wahta kihd. Crushed a HB Saison with dinner.

2x Fuzzy next

 

[jschm19]

How was that? My buddy was going to grab it but the mint and coconut thrown in there made him a bit nervous. We haven't had a bad beer from them but he passed (as far as I know)

Sorry to hear bud, that sucks!

Post draft beer and night cap.

I miss the old cans :-(

 

[jschm19]

No instrument as of yet, 6 minutes of 10 year old tackle football at half time. He could be in one of those pictures. As far as underground, I've been a little disappointed by most of Founders new stuff. Then find out today they sold another 60% to the company that already owned 30%.

As far as the beer wending its way North, I'm glad for you; new products are always welcomed. I have to say though, that with this beer, there was no "wow" factor for me. It seemed a clumsy attempt at barrel-aging a coffee stout with no segue into the complicated flavors that were promised on the label. To me, it was a two-dimensional coffee/bitterness fiesta. I searched for those complicated flavors but didn't taste them. Like I said in my original post, maybe a year on the shelf will do it justice. But, hey, what do I know, right?

Can I assume your nephew plays a musical instrument? If not, that's okay because I have an interesting story (anecdote). My wife and I were fortunate enough to take in a 15 year old girl whom everyone else abandoned. This kid went on and played the flute and achieved first chair by the time she was 17. First time that I went to a football game to watch half-time. Different world.

All yellow is gone

 

[j1laskey]

I love this beer

 

[j1laskey]

I typically make some dumb label for the beer on tap. But, I struggled for some cute, witty name for a Patersbier. Then I realized, dads don’t need much!!! So a simple piece of lab tap will do!

 

[beermanpete]

Water.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Peach and basil mead made with clover honey.

 

[j1laskey]

Beer from The Hill kihd

The Tap Brewery in Haverhill MA.

I likely.

I really enjoyed it. The mint is very faint to me. The coconut and watermelon is mellow. The berries shine in this one. I ended up buying two four packs b/c I think my wife will really like it. Plus I wanted extras b/c I wanted some to share with others and still have some to enjoy.

Ommegang in a can? What's this world coming to? But so damn good

Yup. Plus light protection. It's amazing the savings in space for shipping when done in cans. I'm for it. Just an old crow here.
