What beer are you drinking now? #1470

happened to skim through yesterday's thread this morning & saw about your dog. sorry for you loss, man.


enjoying FIS right now.

 

Good morning BA< have a great Saturday! I have a saison with Mosaic/Galaxy sitting in the fermenter right now and haven’t kegged yet, going to get that done today. Been slacking on the brewing last few weeks.

Beers this morning:

Amazing Gose as always. Flavors of big sour cherry, lemon, lime, green apple, wheat, cracker, coriander, sea salt, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice sized fruity/lactic sour finish; balanced cherry/lacto acidity, salinity, and light grainy wheat creaminess in the mouthfeel. Highly drinkable despite higher acidity. Unlike last year, there are still a TON of packs still on the shelf right now. I will definitely grab more when I run out again. I grabbed a bunch of 4 packs a few months ago thinking they would run out, but they still haven’t.


This is fantastic! Flavors of big toasted coconut, milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, vanilla, cream, toffee, dark bread, and light coffee. Light balancing roast bitterness against sweetness; with an awesome creamy/silky medium body; light touch of sticky/chalky roast character and dryness. Glad I was able to find another 4 pack earler in the week. This has been flying off the shelf like crazy around here, but there are still some more around at lower traffic stores that got a new shipment this week. Will likely grab more to hold over until next year.


Mind blowing as usual. Huge nutty dark roasted coffee, dark chocolate, cocoa, toasted oats, dark bread, and light molasses/smoke/char; with some herbal/piney hops. Bittersweet medium-full body; creamy and sticky/chalky balanced mouthfeel; some silkiness and roasted dryness. I prefer this even more with about 9 months of age to bring out more of the deep malt complexity and tone down the hop bitterness, but it's one of the best beers I've ever had at any age.


Amazing DIPA! Finishing off my IPA 4 pack. Flavors of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, passion fruit, mango, melon, lemon/orange peel, light pepper, and piney hops; with moderate honey, caramel, brown sugar, and toasted bready sweetness; with herbal, wood, and floral/grassy hop earthiness. Moderate herbal/spicy/citrus peel bitterness on the finish. Medium-full bodied; balanced hop sticky/resins and malt creaminess in the mouthfeel. Light-moderate increasing resin dryness; zero hop astringency. Very smooth with some light warming alcohol. Awesome juicy Citra hop flavors as expected; and you get the really unique sweet/earthy honey character from the Avocado blossom; which is a darker honey with rich flavors. Really complex and well executed stuff! Wouldn’t mind buying another IPA 4 pack again; all of them were amazing, and well worth the price.


Cheers

Forgot how much I love Nevermore. One of the best Prog metal bands ever for me. They are technically on hiatus now, but I would love a reunion album. Jeff Loomis is playing with Arch Enemy now though, and Warrel Dane said he would never do another album unless he was included. Would agree, one of the best guitarists of all time.


Great new album from Devin. Not my favorite, but it’s been growing on me.

 

Good morning BAs!



Family stuff today and costume party tonight; another beautiful day here in the low country. Cheers!

 

Thriller of beer, from a recent trade. Halloween on a Monday? How's a parent supposed to drink and make work the next day? Celebrating early.

 

The three year old was up at 6:40, so I'm skipping the coffee beer and going right to real coffee, but I figured before I did that I'd belly up to the virtual bar and order the most popular thing on the menu these days.

That'll probably be it for me for a while, advocates. See you this afternoon!

 

I will call this the little brother of SMS, still very good.


Defines my morning thus far, the beer is helping

 

This looks like the day to bring all the outdoor furniture inside. Winter's right around the corner!

 

still in Cali. always been an early bird. i didn't incorporate enjoying beer this early though til a few years back. interestingly, it works out well for me though. i usually have 1 after getting off the treadmill while cooling down. it's had multiple benefits /advantages. i often have re-flux issues if i go to bed after too much heavy stuff (incl beer). the other major irrelevant plus - nobody else is up to mock me for taking a pic of my beer. i've cut back too as i generally pour my 1 & am done. every now & then i'll squeeze in a second.

cheers!

Good morning BAs! It's starting off to be a sunny morning here in NW PA, before the rain moves back in, no doubt. Today's New Breakfast Beer:

Cheers!!

 

Pull from the mini-cellar (box next to fridge of things that don't need to be consumed immediately). Batch 65, i think I got it about a year ago.


I even got a @LeperJim bubble (pretty sure that's a Jim signature, forgive me if I am not recalling properly).

Quality stuff in my glass right now, for sure! Big Bad Baptist never disappoints.

 

Morning BA's and happy Saturday....the last one in October.....and my Mom's birthday today! Getting ready to bake her a birthday cake - but needed some Miracle Toast with my French Toast....great stuff!



Stella the Halloween black cat is sneaking up on the beer....



Really a great stout - from Ohio of course!

 

Chillin for a second before i sleep off last nights shift so i can work tonight.
