What beer are you drinking now? #563

They're selling Hardywood in MD now!?!?

 

no, it's now available in nearby DC. At least for us Marylander's who live nearby

 

Just enjoyed a bottle of NB Ranger with my dinner—some sushi, plus the rest of my kale sauteed with a bunch of mushrooms. Very tasty after my run earlier. And considering I found two ticks on me today, and the second one attached since my run Sunday, I'm uh, thinking about a second beer. Hate ticks . . . but I've got work to do still tonight, so that may have to wait. Ah, well.

Whatever beer you've got in front of you, enjoy it, ya weirdos. DO IT FOR ME. Saude, galera . . .

 

Ah man you had me excited...One day soon hopefully!

 

Rounding out a Green Flash night

 

sorry mate! Hopefully you aren't too far away! We are all cozy neighbors (MD/DC/VA) here so maybe it's not that far away as you might discover Happy beer trails!

 

Yes. In fact, I had Saint Arnold Divine Reserve 14, today.

 

One of this world's great beers!

 

Uinta Bristlecone Brown Ale. 4% ABV and just what I needed this fine spring evening. Courtesy of the Craft Beer of the Month Club. Thanks neighbor

 

Let's see how this lil baby is.
First of the year...

Results are in...it's delicious!

 

Gulden Draak is required drinking for all serious BAs...

Lots of plum and date and brown sugar and coffee and cherry...

Paired it with some gruyere and grapes

Two-fer Tuesday still in effect, Kvelertak-style!

Some "Mead" and "Moonlight"

...Set the tone for catching up on Sunday night's Game of Thrones episode...

Cheers to beers!

 

Started with NEBCO Fuzzy Baby Ducks!

then...then end of my second glass...

The whole time I was thinking of that this isn't as good as Lunch...but then I had..
fresh Lunch I bought earlier today - bottled last Tuesday!

As much as I love Lunch - Fuzzy Baby Ducks was just better...way more hops and balance with it...
then a souvenir from my latest trip to Chicago

Nice day of well crafted, well hopped, brews...
Cheers BA!

 

Well, long day in the books...a great one at that...minus the whole work part and taking on more responsibility for the same pay. However, I received two solid boxes in the mail to help me drown my sorrows and turn my day around.

First up is one of the best IIPA’s I’ve had. Boneyard Hop Venom from a great BA’er @Kurmaraja who sent this bad boy coast to coast in the blink of an eye. This is seriously a top 5...Heady has nothing on this. The nose is full of mango, pineapple, and citrus. I’ve never had an aroma so strong and appealing that smacked me in the face from the pour. Taste is much the same with a nice hop smack on the back end but met with a very delicate balance as to keep you asking for more. Mouthfeel is perfect...nice and resinous but doesn’t leave you too tart or dry. This is a beautiful beer in all ways....I’m going to cry when this growler is gone



Next is just a nice little shelf turd, Ten Fidy. I’ll just re-use yesterdays pic



Listening to a little River Whyless...this band is amazing. They are out of Asheville, NC...you know, Wicked Weed, Green Man, near Pisgah etc.

 

One more before dinner. Tripel Karmeliet. New one for me. Really nice Belgian Tripel.

 

Settling down catching the rest of the Tigers game after a bunch of running around after work.

Decided to bust out the Pilsner glass since I haven't used it in a while. Trying out Bourbon Barrel Aged Citra Pale Ale by Odd Sides. Pretty good. Don't get a ton of barrel taste. I haven't had their regular Citra Pale Ale so I don't know how much the Bourbon Barrel aging does to it. Nice brew to drink while watching baseball.

 

This could easily be one of my everyday beers!
