What are you drinking now?

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Taste buds are funny. This taste like fish to me. Specifically, salmon. I like salmon but ultimately, this will get dumped.

 

[WBB]

Tired Hands, Creamy Nubs, Creamy Culinary India Pale Ale.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Not my fav from these guys...but doesn't taste like salmon, so thats good

No one knows what a snowblower is down in NC, but regardless, I've popped open a home-brew Westy12 clone in morale support of my northeastern colleagues. It's my first attempt at the Westy12, and the first bottle I've tried - my patience ended when the last of the other batches were finished off. So far, so good.

Also, we head to VT tomorrow (15 hrs by car), so I'm tying to "get ready" for the trip by taking the afternoon off from work, popping the top on this new batch, and comptemplating life without snowblowers or even snow shovels. (Last year we had 0.00" of frozen precip here in Charlotte, NC). Tough to be a "ski bum" when you have to travel that far to experience it.

Hitting any breweries on the way up? Altho if you're skiing, I'm guessing they'll be plenty of good brews at destination.

Nah, not on the way up - but definitely while I'm skiing! If anyone knows of local (VT/NE) brews to try out, I'm open to suggestions. First time in many years skiing in the NE (except for one spring up in Mont Tremblant a few years ago). Normally, a Colorado/Utah skier.

Another 2020 BOC. From @fourfarthing. This beer is . Pick up lots of bannna notes. Love it

 

[seanjwalker1]

Shiner Frost Dortmonder. Lot of hop in the finish but still a nice malt start.

Our snow (from Sat.) is starting to melt and 1 more day until vacation. HB Ella SMaSH. Named because, well it’s an Ella SMaSH, and my daughter (Ella) was named Honorable Mention All-State in Volleyball (because she can smash a ball).

 

[user 263363]

Truly hope all is well!

it’s still early, but I got a double exposure at work. Christmas will just be me and my wife and toddler this year. Cheers!

 

[j1laskey]

HB Pirate Strong Ale. Really hitting its sweet spot in the keg

 

[pshankstar]

A barrel aged stout from Mortalis. A friend dropped this off last week for my 40th birthday. This is down right delicious!!!

A few, three actually, homebrews Blonde Ales tonight while grilling supper.

 

[Immocles]

HB brown ale

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

I grilled steak and taters out on the deck after shovelling. Yes. Sour cream on the baked potatoes after that workout. 20° and a nice stiff wind.

Why not? Tomorrow's my last day of work for 2020!

 

[grampamark]

HB Wheat Ale

 

[pshankstar]

HB IPA fermented with yeast dregs from an Other Half IPA.
The first snowball fight with the girls is in the books this winter. They should sleep well tonight, I showed no mercy but was a good dad and sport. They beat me!!!

 

[pshankstar]

Another HB IPA but this one is fermented with Imperial’s POG strain, & another episode of The Punisher on Netflix while the wife and girls are in bed.

 

[camonick]

HB MO/EKG SMASH. Still pretty young (kegged on Sunday) but tastes pretty damn good. Carbonation and clarity aren’t quite there yet, but will be great in time for Christmas guests next week. Thanks @Immocles for the advice. I just did boil additions with the hops and no dry hop. Balanced and flavorful.

Night cap

 

[The Grog]

I brew A Great Lakes Christmas Clone every year at this time as I finish off the fall with Grogs Autumn Ale. Nice seasonal brew for fall and winter if you like strong ales

 

[KeizerBrewr]

Currently drinking some Black Rifle Coffee at work, looking for things to do. Slow day. Excited for some Belgian beer action with homemade roast when I get home

 

[user 263363]

@Hoppy2bmerry fruitcake old ale from 12 BOC. I only slightly chilled it and it is quite good. Love the color!

Thanks for the feedback, I’m happy to see a little head on that beer. I hope the cherries do something good for you!

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Feeling whole again with the new glass. More Pre-gaming....

Short pour of the Stout I kegged yesterday. This is gonna be good when it’s fully carbed.
