What beer are you drinking now? #2872

I must ask, why did you name your dog eggs?

 

That was one of my first “WOW!” beers, don’t think it would be now.

 

Terrapin Hopsecutioner.....

 

In the “now”, digging this shah as @jzeilinger would say. Pool is 88 degrees, awesome!

 

It seems kind of tame compared to other offerings available, still good though. I only had a single.

 

Happy Monday - short 4 day work week, then off Fri-Monday for Labor Day weekend....



beautiful evening

 

Augustfest is almost over! Cheers!

 

Damn. I’ll be right over. Just leave a take-out box for me at the of the driveway so that we keep socially distant.

 

Cheers, Advocates!

Vegetable lasagna in the works. Creamed spinach and mushrooms.

 

Dude ... you're a stout fellow dealing with that. Drink lots of water and here's to cooler times in the near future!

 

Late start today, having a 2016 Xocoveza with some spicy penne rigate pasta. Probably not the best pairing, I figured the peppers might go with the spices I threw in the sauce. Need to start drinking some of these old 12oz bottles too now. Cheers!



(leftover bowl)

Not the greatest sauce but it works. Threw in a bunch of crushed red pepper and chopped garlic along with some other herbs and spices, namely onion powder, garlic powder, a little chili powder, dried parsley, cracked black peppercorn, olive oil. Pretty tasty, almost like a faux-fradiavlo. I'm used to real jalepenos and peppers in a fradiavlo sauce, but working with what I have. This is good.

 

WRENCH My first experience with an Industrial arts brew...

Poured into my tulip this beer has an opaque banana/lemon yellow shade with a dense creamy head. Nice staying power and some fluffy sticky lace.

Scent is pine and tropical fruits (pineapple at the forefront) with a dash of spicy hops and a zing of citrus.

Pineapple, mango are right up front. There's a spicy ginger-like note in the background. Not obvious; subtle and intriguing and does a nice job balancing the sweeter fruit notes. Long finish has an interesting sweet / sour / spicy transition. Sweet but balanced. Not a hop bomb nor particularly bitter. A touch of astringency at the end of a long finish but my lips are left sticky and sweet.

Mouth starts creamy with very fine light carbonation and becomes quite juicy in the finish. It's almost like a two part thing.

Drinkability is very high for me.

I love what they did with only 7.1% ABV. This is really a nice IPA. You have my attention Industrial Arts. This is really good stuff.

 

Unfortunately, his mother has a certain sense of humor, so when she found him and learned he hadn't been fixed, she named him Huevos, which on the street means something different than eggs.

Holy F!

 

Cheers BA!
