What beer are you drinking now? #3667

Yellow Rose in the glass.

Spinning one of the best albums of the 90's. PJ Harvey's To Bring You My Love.

 

Hey Bar Buds
We hung out at the beach for a while today, unbelievable weather streak going on this week

we scored some “right off the boat” swordfish from our fish monger today

“Did someone say fresh fish?”

 

One of the perks living where you do!

 

Drinking another Enjoy By



I freaking love this video, a week ago I posted Down With The Sickness because the DJ at the club played it and other throwback stuff. I had an old girlfriend that went out with David before they got big. She was always making fun of his gothic way of speaking. He has a Chicago accent



This is a truly bad cover



I like this tune; it calls out chicken shit

 

Destihl Dead Head Easy Haze IPA.....

 

Has anyone had this beer before? Haha. Sierra Nevada Celebration. Warm enough to sit on the porch. Cheers!

 

Not much to complain about when this is a fresh shelfie in your neck of the woods. Next up, I guess I need to find me some Celebration . . .

 

Old Hat. An amber lager from treehouse. I can’t get over how every one of their beers seems to be great. I’m not super into ipas, so I haven’t tried any of the stuff they are famous for, but everything I bought in my mixed case (amber lager, rauchbier, rice lager, esb, dunkel), has been great.

The one IPA I did buy, beneficiaries of chance, was stellar.
Salute!

 

Well the chances are actually great. Alas, in this instance, I have failed your expectations haha. Just a run of the mill hothouse tomato and Natures' Promise chicken breasts. Couldn't agree more about "uncured" cured meats!

I pulled 41 organic heirloom tomatoes (3 varieties) out of my garden this year but they're all long gone.



Turns out I had 2 of these tasty treats remaining, yay! Much love for the Oktos.

Cheers Heathens!

My fave fish. Looks deeelish! Nice diamonds.

EDIT: Also the Celebration envy grows daily. Our great Granite State is odd in that it's certainly at distro centers but there's always a delay.

 

3 Wrong Turns at Farm Road Brewing in Bennington

 

Sip of Sunshine share with 3-4 folks that have never had it......the joy of sharing....

 

Celebration from Sierra Nevada is in the jar. Cheers!!

 

Oyster wars! as long as I win!




Cheers!

 

Tonight’s Blind Battle Beer Tasting Lineup:

1) Raised Grain Doktoberfest (5.9%): An Oktoberfest Märzen from Wisconsin with flavors of bread malt, toasted bread, bread crumbs. Toasted and clean.
versus
2) New Glarus Staghorn Oktoberfest (6.25%): An Oktoberfest Märzen from Wisconsin with flavors of rich bread malt, caramel malt. Toasted, strong carbonation, finishes clean.
versus
3) Great Lakes Oktoberfest (6.5%): A Oktoberfest Märzen from Ohio with flavors of rich bread malt, caramel malt, with a boozy, sweet body.

4) Great Notion DDH Plump (7.0% canned 8/18/22): A NEIPA from Oregon with Citra and Mosaic for flavors of yellow grapefruit, pomelo, guava, passionfruit, and starfruit. A soapy citrus rind to finish dry.
versus
5) Eagle Park Heart it Races (8.0% canned 8/25/22): A NEIPA from Wisconsin with Mosaic Cryo and oats for flavors of tropical pineapple, melon, berries, and stonefruit. Smooth & creamy.
(All beers correctly matched blind)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Winners:

1) Raised Grain Doktoberfest: This one has some great flavors. Rich and toasted bread malt with bread crumb flavors. Toasted, flavorful, yet still drinks relatively dry and clean. Definitely the most flavorful of the three. Raised Grain has made some quality beers from all the ones I've tried. Definitely will keep coming back to these guys.

5) Eagle Park Heart it Races: Great Notion had so many DDH hops that they may have had to call the hop police. Intense DDH. Nice for what it is, but I think Eagle Park gets the win here. Tropical pineapple, melon, berries, and gets a bit of ripe stonefruit with some age . What makes this one stand out is the soft and smooth malt body from the oats and wheat. Reminiscent of Hop Butcher or Hubbard's Cave in terms of mouthfeel. Intensely smooth and soft. A hop milkshake in a glass.

 

Closing out the season just like I began: with a local.
Short Fuse 1872

 

Clever Girl. An IPA brewed by Triple Crossing. I believe Clever Girl is a second cousin once removed from Pseudo Sue.

 

Another one of the better albums of the 90's spinning. This year is its 25th anniversary, Dig Me Out from Sleater-Kinney. So much to love about this, from being Janet Weiss' first album with the band, to The Kinks homage as the cover art, to oh yeah the assume music.

Got to have a West Coast IPA with Sleater-Kinney. North Coast Pacific Magic will do

 

Happy Friday! Opening my last Vitamin Sea from my buddy’s Boston trip this summer! This one is a collaboration with TBBC (Tampa Bay Brewing Company)
