What beer are you drinking now? #4119

Hey Moe!

 

Half Acre Slow Melt IPA (Citra/Mosaic). Believe this one is fermented with a lager yeast which would make sense given its crisp and clean feel. Dank blueberry, bright tangerine, grapefruit peel, grass, and pine. Solid stuff.

 

Oh Snap!

A tasty Arkansas NEIPA from the generous @russpowell

 

Looks yummy!

 

Sierra Nevada Hop Magnum in the glass.

And @beergoot guessed it, but I'm pretty predictable Bill Evans, Interplay spinning. From 1962 ha, my wonderful Japanese pressing that sounds incredible.

Revolution Straight Jacket (15.0%): An BBA English Barleywine from Chicago with flavors of caramel, brown bread, molasses and bourbon, with a medley of dark fruit and cocoa.

First try at this one. Had to muster up some strength to take it on. Interesting pour. Milder head than I expected. Intense aromas of bourbon, caramel, oatmeal and molasses. Upfront it's astringent and carries a bourbon burn. As it evolves toward the end there's more raisin, dark cherry, and cocoa flavors. Sweeter and more smooth off the end hiding the alcohol better. Not an expert on the style. It's a bit astringent and burns a bit off the front before the malt sweetness soothes it out. I bet it will be even more smooth and complex with some age. I have no baseline for comparison for this type of beer. It's very good no doubt. I might have to try more of these Revolution BBA Bombs.

 

How did these Lagunitas, Sierra Nevada, and Brooklyn beers sell in your area? Were you single-handedly clearing the shelves or are there some other like minded folk that try these beers?

 

I'm on the same boat. I got to try more of their BBA stuff. Which is why I will have @jzeilinger come over to teach me. I have several of their products like DB VSOD, Straight Jacket, Life Jacket, Dread and Breakfast, and many more but I'm too afraid to drink them by myself!

 

Agree. Deth's Tar is on the list for me next!

 

Not as good as I'd hoped but pretty good. Too bad Celebration is gone. Wifey said it didn't have any taste??

 

That one I did drink by myself and it's great. Cafe Deth too. Aged or not. I consider myself an idiot for living in Chicago for 8 years without ever drinking a Revolution beer.

 

Lagunitas Beast of Both Worlds DIPA (Mosaic, Citra, Strata, Sabro). Have wanted to try this one and saw it on draft so decided to give it a go. It’s no Lil Sumpin, but it’s not horrible either. Grapefruit and orange with some mango, papaya, and pine. Dangerous for 8%. Enjoyable, but I wouldn’t get a 6 pack of it.

 

1 and done for real beer today. Will most likely be back tomorrow for 1-2. Got some new lagers to try from Celestial Beerworks.

Cheers y'all!

Thanks. Waiting for the wife to get home to try it.

 

Having another Stone IPA after dinner - if it ain't broke ...



Sometimes the best meal is the simplest meal. This was angel hair pasta with roasted peppers, 3 Thai chilies, in chili oil with garlic. A little Parmigiano Reggiano to finish things off. Damn, it was satisfying!!!
