Independence Day Beer Lineup

I'm going for shock value. Going to a barbecue where most of the people drink macros and they all know I can't stomach even a sip. So what's the shock? I'm going to show up with a 30 pack of Coors light.

 

Anchor Liberty Ale, naturally. Perhaps too obvious, but it's still a great beer.

 

Mayflower Summer Rye while I have responsibilities to take care of. My second and final bottle of RuinTen after the baby goes to bed. That's what I would tell you now, although this could all change based on what the wife and I finally decide to do.

 

Starting off with a tasting. From Firestone Walker, I Have Bottles of XVI Anniversary, Parabola, Sucuba, Double Jack, Then Moving on to FFF with Dreadnaught, Arctic Panzer Wolf, and Apocalypse Cow, Then I have a Bottle of Mexican Cake for the Grand Finale. Im also bringing a case of Zombie Dust for good measure. We party on the Lake all day starting at about 11 AM and wait for the Township fireworks to go off about 10 PM, then we go back to our friends house and Light off our own display. By the end, the boats that were out watching the townships display are anchored in front of our friends house. It's a great day that gets better every year.

 

I am hosting a firework show for the neighborhood, so no beer until late for me. I will be serving my BMC guests and Beer Geek guests;

-Yuenling and Yuebngling light
-Blue Moon Agave
-Odd Sides Citra IPA
-Short's Beard of Zeus
-Shorts Dan Pink Skirt

Once the Fireworks are over I will be having a Founders Doom. I am really looking forward to that one. I have missed it on tap multiple times, and I still have not had the bottle I bought

 

Ommegang Hennepin
Maybe some Dale's Pale
Maybe some Anchor Steam

 

Gonna be on a boat all day so am thinking low ABV cans of some kind, not sure what yet though. Maybe some Daisy Cutter, Anti Hero, maybe an ESB or blonde ale, not really sure yet.

 

Yuengling, PBR, and Jack Daniel's. Then I'm gonna go blow some shit up with red, white and blue firework type things while eating red meat.

 

Think I might go with Yards Ales of the Revolution pack.

 

I have to work 7-3 unfortunately, but least it's holiday pay. Plan on getting in many afterwards. I have remnants of the Saranac 12 Beers of Summer and Victory Varieties of Victories samplers in my fridge, so I'll probably blast through a couple from each.

 

Buddy is coming up from the city (NYC) bringing the Crooked Stave offerings that made it out here along with a few other goodies. I have Parabola 12-13, KBS 13, Anchorage Galaxy IPA, the Pretty Things offerings and hopefully some HT for hime to finally try. Blows I have to work the following day but it won't be the first day I go in with a hangover.

 

I just picked up dales pale ale for the fourth. All that heavy picnic food . . . aunt so and so's macaroni salad "made with miracle whip not mayonaise", burgers, brats, ribs and hot dogs . . . yeah a pale ale.

 

HOPEFULLY some HT. I will know more before end of day and keep you posted!

 

Canned beer!

 

Nothing says "hooray for the USA" like a case of Heady Topper. I'll try to make it last the weekend.

 

Picked up some 'Gansett Cream Ale tallboys for a family BBQ.

 

thanks as always brother!

 

Kegged up 5 gals of homebrew IPA on friday - now sitting with 3 ozs. of Zythos in the keg. Probably going to pull those out tonight and add 2 ozs of Citra or combo of Simcoe/Zythos depending on how it tastes tonight. Should be bomb by Thurs. Widmer Citra Blonde and Otter Creek VT Lager as a thrist quenching backup.

 

Going out on the lake and it's gonna be hot so just tasty summer beers-

Gallon of Swamp Head Stump Knocker
6 pack of Sweetwater IPA
6 pack of Bell's Two Hearted
6 pack of CCB Jai Alai

 

I love the 4th, this year I plan to get Anchor Liberty & Steam, and Homebrewed Pale Ale. Maybe some Buffalo Trace to finish out the night.
