What beer are you drinking now? #920

No hockey, no Game of Thrones, no more brunette celebrity birthdays...

So, uh, have I told ya about Tyr? lol

Gotta tell ya, I've got a pretty good constitution - and I'm not talking D&D - but I've never killed a growler in a night - what's Flower Power? Like 7% abv? And I'm gonna get like 4+ pours out of it? We'll see...

Final Flower Power pour...

Aw, that wasn't so hard

Been listening to some faves off my Potergeist CD...



Cheers, BA

 

Probably my last of these for awhile, still tasting pretty dank.

Islanders season over, I now shift my next disappointment to baseball season, but, these Metsies, just came back from 3 runs down with the go-ahead run still on base.

 

Hotel beer while on business in Tampa area. Fresh from the source.



Cheers.

 

2012 Expedition. I need to age some more of this!
Cheers

 

Old Reliable. North Coast Brewing - Old Rasputin

 

Why wait for thirsty thursday when you can celebrate tipsy tuesday

 

I couldn't start the day with juice, so I'll end with it! Other Half Citra, so crushable

 

My first one of these. My oh My, does this beer make a statement !!

 

Cheers

 

The most important question your photo raises is, what flavor Clif Bars are in the box? Cheers on the Hop Hunter, good stuff.

 

Picked up a mix six today, 3 new beers and 3 I have not had in some time. Can't recall my last Prima, maybe two years ago?

Got the action shot on the pour, carbonation dancing up the glass. Emptied vigorously but not much head retention. Aroma is nice, clean malt, no sweetness detected. First sip definitely brings a harsher hop bite than other comparable American versions I've had recently (Nooner and Sunshine Pils). Getting some floral notes but also is astringent on the back of the tongue. Each subsequent gulp brings a lingering bitterness that I'm not crazy about. Really dries out my palate. Hate to say but this Pils doesn't call for another pour, unfortunately (even if I had another)!

 

I just got my hands on a couple sixers of Victory at Sea for the first time tonight. Chilling in the fridge, can't wait to try it tomorrow night. Really wish Ballast Point distributed here.

 

I´m drinking this, If you can read the style says "california common" it´s the first time I try this style, it´s very good.

 

My favorite Porter

 

If you get the opportunity to try this with some age on it, definitely do so. I'm currently enjoying some that's got a little over 3 months in my "cellar" and it's only improved imo. It's a fantastic brew any way you cut it though.

 

Ha! This is on deck in my hotel room.

 

Stopped in Fredricksburg, Tx for the night. Found the local brewery and I'm sampling a flight:

 

Agree, really excited to see what this brewery does. Very glad I have a really cool trading buddy in San Fran area who hooks me up with all sorts of great local beer!

 

Have some catching up to do. Been hard to find time to post but still finding time to try new brews.
