I brewed a spruce tip ale. Looks and smells great, havent tasted yet.

This will be my first chance to unveil my new hobby to my family and in-laws so I am pretty excited. I'm bringing an IPA and an amber ale. I've got a blonde ale that should be ready but I have yet to try it, as well as some jalapeno beer I tested out with the blonde ale batch. I used jalapeno's that my dad grew at his house so it should be interesting.

I'm bringing a party pig full of German Doppelbock. I tasted it last night and it is great! I added 5 oz of Goldings hops in the primary and used a lager yeast.

Pretty much everything in my signature, except the kegged - I was hopeful, but it isn't carbed enough yet.

The hits (served some of these at Thanksgiving) have been the Old Fezziwig, and the Irish Red. In fact, the Old Fezziwig got a 33 in a recent homebrew contest - not as high a score as I would have liked, but for my first time I'm pleased.

Should be a couple of fun nights!

Belgian dubbel - this isn't as phenolic as I'd like from a dubbel but it is dry with great raisiny/plum/fig flavors and SWMBO likes it. The most appropriate for the holidays IMO.
Winter brown ale - currently this one isn't very enjoyable because the tap is imparting a birch beer flavor, but normally a hoppy dark amber ale that is awesome. My own recipe.
Peach wheat - simple american wheat beer with peach puree and extract. Another SWMBO favorite.
IPA - chock full of half a pound of amarillo
American stout - high FG, amazingly rich, espresso-like foam, so chocolate/roasty that it could pass for a smoked beer.
Funk'd Amber - normally a lightly hopped american light amber that is a crowd pleaser, but this batch seems to have picked up a wild yeast. I didn't see signs of a pellicle in primary, but the flavor reminds me very much of my all-brett beer. We'll see how far I get drinking this keg. It doesn't taste like satan's anus but it also isn't that great.

there are some great beers for this weekend. I think my goal will be to get my FIL to drink some RIS or something out of his 1 beer (coors light). Maybe start with a pale or wheat first though.

It is just going to be SWMBO and I so it will be a mixture of commercial and some HB's. I still have some Pliny, Heffe, Super Alpha IPA, Green Bullet Pale. I am going to crack a bottle of the dbbl chocolate milk stout to see how it turned out.

 

[josiahcox]

I have 5 gallons of Double Chocolate Oatmeal Stout that will be pouring from my new keezer. Merry Christmas indeed!

 

[ecojack]

Pumpkin Ale, Winter Warmer, and my American IPA


delicious.

 

[petep1980]

My Baltic Porter which was killed at my daughter's birthday party this past Sunday. My only choice is a sissy Boston Lager clone I have, or serve my Pilsner too young.

 

[Whut]

On Christmas Eve I'll be tapping a keg of Common Room ESB. That recipe came from KingBrianI and was brewed back on 10/25.

 

[cheesecake]

my sad 2% abv breakfast stout....seems to be a hit with alot of people but you would die from over hydration before you get drunk

 

[paint_it_black]

My Black Butte Porter clone (Jamil's recipe) is just now about bottle conditioned and ready to go, and we have plenty of it, so that'll be up for grabs.
Also have some of my Widmer Brrr clone (my own recipe) left and very tasty. Mmmmm.

A happy Christmas to you all!

Green Chile Beer. I used Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde as the base and added roasted green chiles to secondary. We have both mild and medium heat batches. I have been invited to a couple of Holiday Pot-luck dinners and when I asked what I should bring, the unanimous request was "BEER"! Once they know you are a homebrewer, you get invited to all the best parties ... as long as you bring beer.

Goat Scrotum Ale
