What are you drinking now?

[lawdawg]

Starting with this heavy hitter, might be an early night....tasty

Edit - very crushable

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

One of these kinda evenings... Spaten Oktoberfest, taste like beer! Ha!

 

[camonick]

Estes Park, CO beer. Says it’s “Made from pure Colorado clover honey at 7522 ft.”
Nothing special. Not very flavorful.

 

[fourfarthing]

HB NEPA.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Perfect with choc brownies

 

[lawdawg]

 

[NateDawg]

Doesn’t get more central Texas than this. Electric Jellyfish and Live Oak hefeweisen

 

[grampamark]

Bayern Märzen while mashing in a Pale Ale (we got a break in harvest, so I decided I better start filling the pipeline while I have the chance).

 

[camonick]

HB amber ale. I don’t particularly care for the way this beer tastes. My sister said it was good. I don’t know if it’s just an ingredient combination I don’t like or it’s just a mediocre recipe.

[Immocles]

Calista lager. This is a definite for brewing again.

But that glass makes it awesome!

Speaking of, HB Mead, Rouge One, and proper glassware.

 

[grampamark]

Bayern Pilsener while the 1st runnings are draining.

 

[Elric]

First test pint of my second helles. Mixed things up from my last recipe by adding some vienna malt. First time reusing yeast and warm pressure fermenting a lager. Definitely notice a difference from the pressure ferment. Brewday was July 27th but already tasting really clean.

 

[camonick]

Fort Collins, CO beer.
Really good.

 

[grampamark]

Bayern Dump Truck Bock while waiting for the boil.

 

[pshankstar]

This while watching Money Heist on Netflix. This will probably be my nightcap first tonight, who knows.
Enjoyed a crowler my neighbor/friend bought to split with me. I shared a can of Other Half FLX HDHC Genny Dream Ale with him then three Miller Lites earlier tonight. Between our two schedules we haven’t hung out to catch up over a few beers in over a month.

 

[camonick]

Very different than I’m used to...

 

[wepeeler]

Just picked a 4 pack of that yesterday. Def solid.

Very solid

I'm not on board with a lot of Belgian stuff. The guy who got me into brewing is a big fan. I've made a session Witbier that my girlfriend and I love, but I think it needs more flavor. Needs to be higher than 3.5% imo...

This is 9% and has a ton of different flavors going on. It’s not terrible, just more complex than I’m used to.

Edit: Here’s the description from Untappd—

Trois Pistoles has a dark brown color topped with a rich foam mousse.
Its slightly sweet taste is enhanced by accents of roasted malt, cocoa, ripe fruit and dark spices with a smooth finish like an old port wine.
Brewed with four selected malts and four exotic spices, Trois Pistoles beckons with a subtle sweetness that makes it surprisingly smooth and satisfying for a beer of such strength and complexity.

Way too complex for me at the moment! I've been into neipas for about 5 years strong but recently gotten into the lighter stuff. I think my Koslch that you tried is my favorite, but I made a Helles (first lager!) that is fantastic. Super excited about lagers. Brewing a Marzen on Sunday.

 

[wepeeler]

Awesome neipa. This brewery crushes it. One of the best spots in New England

 

[grampamark]

A bland Hefe while waiting for my Pale Ale to reach pitching temp. Just over 4 hours and batch #130something is almost in the books.

That Kolsch was very good. I’ve kinda been into the German lagers lately myself. I’ve got 3 different styles kegged/tapped now with a couple more on my wishlist.

What'd you think? Expanding the craft beer circle eh?

Coffee and reading fire updates for Santa Cruz.

It was ok... just not my cup o tea.

That is a nice beer. I've had it many times with a grilled chicken Caesar salad at the Pattaconk in Chester, Connecticut. Always enjoyable. That reminds me, I think I decided to start drinking early today.

 

[TBC]

Lawnmower beer break

 

[pshankstar]

Who wouldn’t want to support the Lemurs and all the other creatures of Madagascar? If a beer has a Lemur on it my youngest approves because it’s her favorite animal!
I should mention it’s a Peach Kolsch.

 

[TBC]

H2O

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Only getting worse by the hour.

Looks to be right up on HWY9 now. Getting better idea of the true nature of the fire today. The one by San Jose looks to be closing in. Brutal!

New one from Community in Dallas. Damn good! 1 will be saved for sure.

 

[davidabcd]

I'll be drinking one of the ones on the far left. HB triple

 

[pshankstar]

Some Other Half Freaky Friday beer. Water Balloon Fight Club. Never had the original version which I think is from Monkish.
