What beer are you drinking now? #3064

Summit's Saga IPA.....A nice clean, tasty IPA.

 

If you gave me a truth serum, I’d tell you Dreadnaught is my favorite Three Floyds beer, especially when it’s fresh (bottled 2/19/21 - CHECK!). Lots of citrus and a significant malt component. World-class, IMHO.

 

Hell yes man!! Seriously though my brother is 2 years younger than me and could be on the cover of Mens Health. Six pack, huge chest and arms..Im not kidding. He kills me. I know just about all the Jerky Boys stuff. Hilarious especially since no one has land lines anymore!

 

Right-side-up label, too!

Robins just arrived ,in the last hour
Cheers!


Too dark to see em, but I can hear them, as they are quite loudly announcing their presence.
In there somewhere

 

Having a third different Triple Crossing IPA. Got two 4 packs yesterday.

 

What's your favorite without the serum?

 

Austere Modular 9 by Tired Hands

 

Taco/tequila has officially begun....Stone and a shot........

Yeah, now this is the ticket............

 

Hop Stoopid ...

 

I know exactly what youre talking about believe it or not. I have a bench that has the post for lat pulls and I fashioned a rope with two wooden spheres to do tricep pulls. Plus incline, decline and flat. Just havent used it in a long time.

 

Good evening BAs. Another solid offering from Fox Farm Brewery in eastern Connecticut. Wile, a 7.4% ipa. cheers

 

Tonight's Beer Tasting Lineup is Battle Beers:

1) Cerveza Modelo (4.4%): A Mexican Cerveza with flavors of pale malts, cracker, yeast, and some Mexican honey.
versus
2) Stella Artois (5.0%): A European Pale Lager with smooth and balanced notes of lemon, honey, and pale malts.

3) Samuel Adam's Wicked Hazy (6.8%): A new hazy release from Sam Adams with deep and resinous flavors of sweet peach and flower.
versus
4) 3 Floyd's Foggy Geezer (6.8%): A hazy release from 3 Floyds in Indiana which has a great balance of orange citrus and tropical flavors

5) Deschutes' Mudpuppy Porter (5.8%): A porter from Deschutes in California that has a brown malt and molasses flavor. Strong phenols, Less cocoa than other porters I've tasted.
versus
6) Bent Paddle's Black Ale (6.0%): A standard porter from Bent Paddle in Minnesota that has a balance of cocoa, espresso roast, and slightly smoked pork flavor.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Winners:

1) Cerveza Modelo: Hard to call and winner here and 9/10 I will probably prefer the Stella over this beer. But tonight the Modelo tasted better so that's the beer I'm picking here.

4) 3 Floyd's Foggy Geezer: This one has a nice balance of orange citrus and tropical fruit. Nicely balanced. Sort of reminds me of Hazy Little Thing from Sierra Nevada with slightly more tropical notes.
Wicked Hazy is growing on me too, but too much peach and flower.

5) Bent Paddle Black: A fantastic and standard porter. A balance of cocoa, espresso roast, and smoked pork provide nice porter flavors.
Mudpuppy porter lacked the cocoa component and had too much phenols. Definitely prefer their Obsidian Stout which is the superior beer.

Do you prefer the Mexican Cerveza (Modelo) or the European Pale Lager (Stella)?
Have you tried the two hazy beers above and what did you think?
Have you tried Mudpuppy Porter and did you think it was to style?

 

Lone Star time.

 

In my prime (45 years ago) my best bench was 275. But this was way before steroids and/or good diets. Pizza and beer were the staples.

But I had a decent deadlift for my weight class. 480 at 160 pounds. Again no steroids. I miss those days.

 

I am very partial to Dark Lord.

 

Hiphopopotamus vs Rhymenoceros by Breaker Brewing. Working on my third 4pack there is likely to be a 4th. Nelson and Motueka synergy

 

2nd Shift Samsquatch while considering what to prepare for dinner. Cheers!

 

Maplewood disappointed me with November 2020 canned dates for my old reliable Charlatan APA, but I found these guys in the “new and fancy” section with a much more recent canned date. Juice Pants is a nice beer, but I still prefer a more traditional WCIPA / AIPA. I recommend Juice Pants if you like the hazy style. I also find Son of Juice a good take on the style.
