What beer are you drinking now? #669

Sitting outside and enjoying an Arthur

 

What it do nephew!

Weather out here today is PERFECT! Marine layer hanging around for a bit . Great breeze going thru I think I'll take a walk to haul some more beer

Awesome brew

 

This shit bananas!

 

First time having this, and my suspicion was correct. It goes wonderfully with my PB&J


Any day's a good day for Muddy Waters.

Now that's some original swag.

 

YES! the "2 inch pour" was the stuff of legend when i was skinnier. my roommate was a pro but usually involved BMC. my beer talent was known as "the elephant."

 

"Everyday I wake up and I take my medication":

 

That is one of my favorite things in the entire world. =)

 

As a sucker for milk stouts, this beer is incredible. Kuhnhenn Todd's Michigan Mudd imperial milk stout. Delicious!

 

Yeah she is really cool. 90's cool.

 

Prairie artisan ales: merica

 

I'm getting me some tonight, can't wait to try

 

Figured it was best to post this now, since the time difference is so much. By the time I usually have my first one, all of y'all are sleeping... or should be. Went down to Kaimana Beach, which is 3 miles from my house and just east of the famed Waikiki. I'm not much of a Waikiki fan, so we don't go there much. Entirely too busy, takes way longer to go short distances than it should, and there lots of old, fat European men in thongs. Yes, thongs. On top of that, you can't have a beer or smoke a cigar. Kaimana though, you can have beer, cigars, and don't have to worry about explaining to your 3 year old daughter, why a dude is wearing a women's bathing suit. I'm all about personal liberties, so I just have to say, to each their own.

Here's a couple shots, just before the sunset. It was so beautiful, I'm so blessed to live here. Notice the rain squall over to the left, pretty cool.


This was seconds before the sunset, from the water. My phone is water proof, so I have no qualms with getting it wet. To the left is a guy on a surfboard and a sailboat off in the distance.


I was planning on having my COAST Boy King, but decided to hold off, maybe today after work. Instead, the in law brought me a Primo to enjoy with our picnic.


Okole maluna y'all!

 

Good afternoon BAs! Pretty much screwing off today and catching up on my drinking - my serum ethanol levels had dropped precipitously into the "compatible with life" range! I am pleasantly surprised by this brew and think it's underrated here on BA, but then I'm lovin' Thai curries.

 

Wish I was!

 

Got lifeguard duty for the kiddie pool. Whose vacation is it again? Not daddy's.

 

Love it, Maria the forth picture I thought you were burping or we're going to hurl!

 

If you can't rock and roll don't fucken come.



What's mine is mine. One for the BA's who like metal.



My dog Minnie has determined that this cushion is hers.

 

OK you guys! You have all heard me rave about troegs. Heard me say how their beers are seamless, intricate and as delicate as a hand tatted piece of lace. Well this is a monster of a beer! This beer here seems to me to show troegs as the skillful brewers they are. They have created a west coast style mouthfeel that you cannot imagine. This si a 6.2 % beer that drinks like a session IPA. EXCEPT for the flavor of it which has the bit of alcohol in it. I think it's tongue in cheek and is brilliant. Grapefruit with it's inherent sweetness light even amidst all it's pith and peel. The biscuit malt dry, flaky and sweet without honey. There is a mysterious tropical fruit in this that at first seems to be the honey I am looking for, but then is really a light tropical fruit I cannot name. Light spice to finish this one with the perfect bitter. I remember talking about how a bitter in an IPA should come from underneath the beer and not ride roughshod over the entire flavor profile. That is what this one does. Now that's BOLD brewing that speaks to what is possible and to what people seem to be clamoring for.

OH! I am in love. I only bought one and I have to admit I like itbetter than perpetual IPA which is more sugary than this one. This one is the tantalizing grapefruit and not 5 other things, light as an angel food cake.



I am going back for MORE!

 

They say you never forget your first and I know for sure I certainly won't. My very first Heady Topper!
