What are you drinking now?

HB Grodziskie and just finished smoking a beer injected chicken!

 

[Sammy86]

First birthday beer of the evening!

 

[DBhomebrew]

And...a little mother's milk.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Happy 4th! No fireworks allowed here but with family around who need fireworks!

 

[T Murph]

With flights from Austin to SLO for like $300 now, literally could fly in, walk to that brewery then fly back. Post-pandemic looking good!

Another dud. Beerberg Black is Beautiful. Way WAY too bitter overwhelms any flavors that might be there. Sometimes, I feel like I'm the only one who can make a great stout in Central Texas. Dumped and quickly moved on...

What about the one gang. I love their sour cherry?

 

[hopkincr]

Might as well have a beer. My trusty 10+ year old smoker didn’t want to fire up today. Guess it’s grilled wings.

Solid brewery! The wine is not overwhelming which is a plus IMHO.

This is really good. Incredible fruit presence with hops/yeast.

Bottled a bunch of beers for sharing, emptied 3 kegs so I could defrost the kegerator. New beers!

Timothy Taylor Landlord "clone", a little overcarbed for the style:

I love anything from the lost abbey. Unfortunately I haven’t had much lol.

Have you ever tried brewing a Bretted lager?

not yet

100° days don’t take long to zap the countryside. Even worse if there’s wind. Fortunately for us, it’s been fairly mild here. Could use more rain soon.

Yeah. The only rain in the forecast here is a “chance of scattered showers” over the next few days. The early planted crops still look pretty good, but will need rain and/or cooler temps soon. The tail gunners, who don’t plant until about June 1, don’t have much of anything showing above ground.

HB Stout from @wepeeler Chocolate/coffee goodness:

 

[Immocles]

Rye lager. Fairly certain this was the last bottle of the batch, but I thought that a few months ago before finding two bottles

[Tobor_8thMan]

My own Spotted Cow. I was fortunate to obtain fresh Spotted Cow to compare to mine. Very, very close. Difference? I did detect a bit of banana ester in the real thing. Also, my version has more flavor.

Puzzling thru my mind the banana ester thing in the real version...perhaps the yeast?

Both beers look great, but the altbeir looks absolutely fantastic!

 

[davidabcd]

Not near me

Both at Kroger in Harper Woods and SCS. Very lucky.

Thanks. The Altbier might be my favorite recipe. It’s actually a bit of an odd combination, but I was looking for a way to use up the bottom of a couple of bags. I started by plugging my intended grain bill into BeerSmith and then kept changing styles to see which darkish ale was the best fit. When I chose Altbier, all of the numbers for gravity, bitterness, and color lined up exactly in the middle of the range for the style guidelines. So I ended up with 44% each of Pale Ale and Vienna, 8% Caramel 40 and 4% Chocolate 350 for a calculated SRM of 14. Hopped with Magnum and Willamette to 35 IBU.

I like Altbiers because they’re quite an under represented style among craft brewers. I’m attracted to things that aren’t the latest Shiny Object. There just aren’t that many commercial examples out there. I also like the fact that an Alt is the other side of the warm fermented lager coin. It’s a cold fermented ale. I use US-05 at 60°. At final gravity I drop it to 35° and leave it for a week, or so. It’s quite lager-like and has a really nice, clear, reddish-brown color. One of my favorite beers.

Exactly why I have a Weizenbier Strong with Amber DME going now. Hopefully things will turn out!

Thanks for the info. Ive been meaning to brew one for a while now. I love that they are clean with some nice malt flavors but have that great bitterness to balance it out. I love their look. Big fan and yours sounds like it was a great representation of the style!
