What is Everyone Drinking this Thanksgiving??

[thaworm69]

Im new to brewing and nothing brewing "YET!" But I am drinking Hoptober by New Glarius.

 

[highgravitybacon]

I have an English IPA still fermenting, so It was Harpoon Summer ale today. Why? Well there's a place in town that gets a delivery every Thursday (IDK about today) of all the beer that doesn't sell or reaches expiration for half price. I'm not that particular, so a case of summer ale for $14 works good for me.

Ugh. I found a sixer of sam adams summer beer in the in-laws fridge today. Had options of coors light, bud light, or that. Two months past the best buy date. Ass in bottle. Smelled like metallic boiled corn.

Absolutely nothing because the house I am at only serves Budweiser. I would rather drink from the toilet than drink Budweiser.

But it still beat out the Coors light and Bud light, right? :rockin:


Me, Green Flash West Coast IPA, and DFH 90 minute ipa. Probably follow it up with Firestone Walker Double Jack. I'm drowning my sorrows in bitterness, since I'm in CA for business over the holiday, and way from my family.

Gravy straight from the boat.. then washed it down with cider/holiday tea blend

Oddly enough, my Southern Baptist preacher's wife mother in law buys the occasional 12 pack of Budweiser to pour down the toilet 'because the yeast will help the septic system.'

Shortly before or after my wife and I were married, by her father of course, we stopped by her parent's house and her mother was smashing a Bud bottle in her flower bed. I said 'Wow! Now I now why you don't drink, you get mean!' She didn't understand and told us the broken glass would keept the slugs out of her flowers.

Started with port brewing Santa's little helper imp stout with dinner. Moved on to my citra hopped white ipa i have on tap and if I ever get over being completely full I will work on a few of my bottled Russian imp stouts to cap off a great day of beer drinking and being with family. Wish my lemon/pear saison was done, I think it would have been perfect with our turkey

 

[neophilus]

Started with some Breakfast Stout, had some Rare Vos with dinner, then busted out my Dry Stout homebrew for dessert.

 

[jason91notch]

Cracked open a bottle of my black butte porter clone (plus a bit of coffee) that I bottled 10 days ago. It needs more time, but is definitely promising!
Also, I currently have a Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar in a glass. This stuff is AMAZING.

Tonight wasn't a total loss. My Nephew who makes wine, and is prolly my counterpart on homewinetalk.com brought over a case of Peach/berry skeeter pee as the pr-dinner tipple and a nice white zin he made for dinner. The usual holiday thing is that I bring the beer for before dinner festivities and he brings the wine for dinner and after. But since I was homebrewless, we got into the skeeter pee as soon as he got there. He said we put away more bottles of wine this year than ever, and definitely more pre-dinner bottles.

Now I am home enjoying a glass of Sweet potato mead, that because of the mom stuff, couldn't get bottled...so I am just pulling it from the carboy with my turkey baster.

Coors light gives me heart burn and bud light reminds me of the lust fueled college house parties, the staggering home from the bar, the kegs and eggs before football games, the belligerent cowboy bars. Days long past. Long past.

I should write a book about it. "Good Times with Bad Beer."

The main reason I went with the Sam Adams was to have an extra long neck pryoff. Im short on bottles.

Just opened a growler of 21st. Amendments Bitter American, this is on of my favorite daily drinkers. I have only had it in a can to this point, yesterday I stopped @ Whole Foods and had my growler filled. There is something wrong with this beer, very little bittering hops profile and it has a antiseptic/numbing effect on the palate.

I've never heard of it. So is it a session beer? Like an American version of an English Bitter?

That is hilarious.

Mmmm, Corny goodness and half price.

I agree about the Coors and Bud. I keep a few in the fridge, they're good for shoving up a chicken's @$%. Of course, you have to use half a can, so the other half goes down the drain.

 

[highgravitybacon]

I'm bringing an Oktoberfest style lager, my Backyard Hop Wheat Lager with homegrown Centennials, and a Soriachi Ace dry hopped pale ale with me up to Fargo, ND to share with my father-in-law and brother-in-law

You can drive over to Morehead and find Brooklyn Brewery stuff at the liquor store I bet. They distribute to MN.

 

[Xpertskir]

It was a rough day yesterday...I woke up at 630 to run a 10k before cooking for 10 people.

At the race they had southern tier IPA but when I got back I started in on a growler of founders breakfast stout, then it was some Pinot Gris followed by a turley Zinfandel tasting, 3 different geographies.

It's 15 degrees and the wind is freakin howling man! It was 60 degrees when we left central Illinois.

Revvy,

It is an American Pale Ale (Extra Pale Ale) as described by 21st Amendment. For my plate I have found this to be the best balanced "mass produced" session beer I have ever had. I'm a former regular consumer of SNPA and Dale's Pale Ale, but if available I will reach for the Bitter American every time.

The malt profile does lend itself to a English Bitter, IMO due to Golden Promise base malt. And the hops profile is more reflective of an APA, Warrior and Cascade in the boil and Simcoe and Centennial for the dry hops addition.


Until this year it was a seasonal offering but due to folks such as myself requests, they have decided to add it to there year round offering. Hopefully you can find it in the "Detroit-ish" area. If not shoot me a PM and I wiould be happy to help you out.
