What are you drinking now?

[Dave Sarber]

Thought I'd give it a try.

 

[imasickboy]

Lucken-Good IPA

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Fricking 60F...might as well be -100. Thank gosh for heaters. Anyway, great beer!

 

[Schlenkerla]

Mesquite Rauchweizen....

Lots going on in this picture. Spunding a Bruankelweizen and playing with an oxygen meter.

Think I have a pic on my other phone from Pinterest. It was more cinder block oriented held together by metal brackets one can by at Depot. When I find it, I'll post and tag you. Wife says World Market sells them for 169. Bit haven't seen it yet. Have you checked out the Home Made Pizza thread here on HBT?

Thx. I have checked that hilarious thread I'm sure there's good info out on the internet too. It would seem simple to create your own form and do a poured concrete and maybe some skimming. I just recently saw that home Depot sells those form but for like $1k.

 

[applescrap]

Dang hard to pku. @jimmyson wow, way to get after it. Wasnt that like a concrete basement a few ago. Yea boy. Haha, piano, you need a fur coat. We get a couple hundred trick or treaters, uts always fun and a bit wild. Few years ago this drunk guy hit a parked car and took off running. They chased him down and were going to whoop his butt until I saved him. I couldnt watch that on a defenseless person, not that he didnt deserve it. Drank coors and a blackberry wheat sour from 4 noses Ill upload later.

No way! You can make a curved or hexigonal form out of wood. 1k is beyond rediculous. I'll keep you posted..

I know there's also certain type of fillers some use instead of concrete to retain and reflect heat. I just have so many other projects to be distracted

Couple Reds Rye

 

[TBC]

Never had it before

Honestly neither have I!!! I have 2016, 2017 and 2018 bombers in the cellar for a rainy day and looking to acquire 2019!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Stovetop coffee this AM due to power outage during that little storm that wasn’t going to be a big deal. Restored in time for cooking dinner, HB bourbon barrel red still cold.

 

[applescrap]

Way to have the backup in place hoppy. That didnt take long, this is the sour.

Next

 

[Dgallo]

First Veil beer. Thanks @pshankstar this one is great. Started out as my beer now it’s my wife’s

 

[TBC]

HB 2019 Mistress 4 Xmas RIS. Nice spiced nose, good carb, good head retention, little on the thin side, BOOZY but no burn, spices fading on the palate. Maybe I should have used Anise, but it’s so overpowering and I hate it. It will get you over the top!

By Xmas time that boozy will fade and the spice will come through a bit more! You just reminded me I need to brew and stout lol

 

[buckinin]

Good beer!

But my cat is dying... she’s 16 and has lost a bunch of weight lately. Vet says she has enlarged spleen and a mass in her abdomen. Plus side is she likes hanging out with me while I’m up to get a few more pets. Poor cat....

[pshankstar]

Donated platelets and plasma earlier today since it’s been four years today my mom passed away from lung cancer. I always donate on the day she passed and her birthday. Anyhow the Red Cross recommends you don’t drink for 24 hours. My neighbors are moving and are having a going away party tonight. Two mich ultras and some fireball shots. I’m ready for bed I’m so exhausted.
So here I lay on my couch drooling over these tasty beers you all are enjoying. Cheers guys and gals!! I’ll be with you all tomorrow.

On a side note. I found a bomber (last one at the bottle shop after my donation) of 2017 CBS had it in my cart and put it back. Now I regret not buying it. Ugh.

Yep, been a long 4 weeks of construction. Luckily the middle separation wall was already in, so that helped reduce some of the work. Other than that, new perimeter walls with additional insulation, electric, flooring, etc.

 

[jaymosbeershack]

My first Monkish, and it does not disappoint. Thank you @baldm79

 

[LoneTreeFarms]

This years batch or you find some old Canadian bottles?

For years Ive watched you guys in the USA drinking beers I could not get here in Central America...now the tables are slowly turning! Craft Brewing is growing rapidly in some countries in CA, especially in Panama where I live now. These small brewers are now producing some very high quality beers...and you guys cant get them! [emoji14]

Case in point, I had a Casa Bruja ("house of the witch"), Le Brut last night. Wow, this was one of the best IPAs I have ever tasted...not one of the ridiculously imbalanced American IPAs with like 10,000 IBUs, but a lovely balanced and very dry (7% ABV) IPA. I bought one just to try it and really wished I had bought a lot more! Going back to the store today.

Another fine example, also from Casa Bruja, was Flower Sour...this is a sour flavored with flowers and honey...there is a LOT going on in this beer...like a beer symphony... and it is delicious! My wife normally doesnt like sours, but she likes this one.

There are now several nano-breweries near where we live (Volcán, Panama) who produce very local, and very good, brews not available outside the immediate area. They even had a local brewfest recently! [emoji322][emoji481]

I may have a beer for breakfast just to celebrate! And you cant have none! [emoji41] [emoji322][emoji6]
