    Catching up thread while enjoying this beer from a brewery I'm planning to visit and enjoy a few new beers when New Beer Weekend starts later this evening. Hoping @Todd and the team will consider recognizing 17:00 GMT Friday as the kickoff to future weekends!

    ...and here's some love right back at ya, @ChicagoJ!

    Friday night here in Oz at the end of another grey winter's week, but we're now two-thirds through the season, and I swear it felt a little lighter a little later tonight.

    Tonight's beer is Frotheh, a Kölsch from the much-missed Deeds Brewing, perhaps the biggest and most well-known of the growing number of breweries that have gone under this year as the cost of living crisis downunder decimates people's discretionary spending. The loss of any brewery is a pity, but Deeds seemed to hit harder than most.

    Cheers!

    Thanks @ChicagoJ for picking up the VB keys where I left them, namely next to my bed early this am European time anyway.

    Good day all, drinking 3 Monts Triple the variant from a brewery I enjoy often. It’s not bad, but as I often noticed with French Tripel a bit on the sweeter side which in this style anyway doesn’t make it for me. Will drink anyway.

    Happy Friday all…
    Trying to keep myself dehydrated on this hot summer afternoon with Houblon Chouffe, a belgian-style IPA

    [​IMG]

    Much more bitter and dank than I expected. Much more so than other beers Ive tried in the style. Tastes a bit maltier too. I was shocked to see it clocks in at 9%. Very well hidden.

    They honestly might’ve kept “belgian ipa” off the label. It’s an unmistakably Belgian brew, just with heavy hop taste. “Hop Chouffe” alone is a perfect description.

    Every other Friday is now "project day" after the purchase of my first home. Today is mainly getting the garage further cleaned up and some lights and work bench items setup. Wanted to grab a Summerfest for the occasion, but don't have anything cold, so poured this lager from Alma Mader.

    G'day all!
    Looks like the temps will be in the upper 90s for the next few days. Tolerable.

    I'm really enjoying this Bamberg style Pale Lager from the collaboration between Von Trapp and Live Oak. Thankfully, I have another can. :wink:

    Prost!

    Awesome thought this brewery was already around during the last days of the Viking Age. Good they were safely tucked away in Bavaria during those years, and not a coastal monastery/brewery.

    Bison stuffed shells are in the oven for lunch so I've made time for a Jai Alai. I guess Invest 97 is headed this way, 5-8 inches of rain predicted, I'll be cleaning gutters after lunch.
