What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #3665

That's what I thought. It got me to thinking that some maples might produce more than others for whatever reason/ environmental factors to.

 

@Hiwattowner - the rule of thumb is 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of maple syrup.

 

Next up and always a nice option.

 

The only thing I got right is that is was barrel aged. Jeez, I stink at guessing the style.

 

A big shout out to @BigIronH for this shah!



And settling in for some baseball.



Prost! !!

 

"Fancy" Vietnamese...at Moon Rabbit with a big bowl of vermicelli and shrimp. It is pretty damn good, even if it is a bit more expensive than my usual, Hughies.

Saint Arnold H-Town Pils in the glass.



And its not $2 Old Fashioned Tuesdays, but still only $5 Happy Hour at Johnny's Gold Brick. And changed it up with a classic Sidecar.

 

Trolls will be trolls...

 

Good evening BA
A 16% Belgian style to start things off tonight.

Taxman Fippel brewed in collaboration with Big Red Liquors as a 50 year celebration for the chain. Cheers all!

 

Whoa holy shit! I was also wondering about how much you'd lose if it needed to be processed further. If you owned a fuck ton of maples/land I could see how this could be a prosperous endeavor.

 

@BeerVikingSailor & @beergoot

Those were excellent photos you guys posted today. Thanks for sharing.

 

What does the maple water (sap/juice) taste like straight from the tree? White birch water/juice/sap tastes sweet. And it's good to drink as is. Just chill it first.

 

BBA English-style Barleywine?

 

How Much Sap Can One Tree Produce?
Well, that will depend on a few things, including weather conditions and the size, age and health of the tree. Most trees today have only one tap; only those with an 80-inch or greater circumference generally get two taps. On average, a tapped maple will produce 10 to 20 gallons of sap per tap.

 

Prost Dunkel beer intermission?
Prost!

 

Like I said, I was totally off on the style. It's delicious as heck.

 

And your 1 to say that with your recent antics...

 

Yeah, the scenery always looks incredible. Glad you guys enjoyed the day.

 

Cheers!
