What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #4378

I am terrified of heights so I totally get it. Somehow I manage to brave heights when it comes to photos. I once almost fell off a cliff and into the ocean while trying to take a photo of a hummingbird on a tree branch. The photo was quite amazing so the scare was almost worth it.



Yes, that's Pennsylvania, just outside Philly.

 

Good afternoon, all! Whiskey Road, Cedar Falls, IA, for lunch and a couple of Iowa's 2024 GABF medal winners: SingleSpeed Lavender Haze (top) and PIVO Decorah Nordic Gruit. Cheers!

 

Been craving one of these

 

Having a Stone IPA - I replenished my stock today ...



Dropping a new tune for anyone who cares to listen ..

 

Amstel Bock. Inspired by @Hephaistos. First time since ages that I have this.
Oldest traditional bock here in NL. Dates Back to the days (1970's and before I guess) when beer was here just Lager/Pils, Oud Bruin and bock during fall.
Good taste indeed. Somewhat watery yes. But for a good price, so you can have two
Cheers all

 

1) Spaten Oktoberfest Marzen (5.9%): A German Marzen with flavors of earthy brown bread, crust, floral and some skunky notes
versus
2) Paulaner Oktoberfest Marzen (5.8%): A German Marzen with flavors of earthy brown bread, toast, rustic and dry. (Correctly matched the two beers blind)

German Oktoberfest Marzen Battle. First is Spaten. Smooth earthy flavors, mildly sweet. Slightly light struck which is inevitable given the poor green bottling.
Next is Paulaner. Standard for an Oktoberfest Marzen. Bready, toasted, clean and drinkable. Hard to beat. Winner: Paulaner

 

Perfect name for that one Larry, nice and breezy, like tooling along the road. Cheers!

 

Thanks so much P - I really appreciate that!!! Have a good night's sleep - pleasant dreams to you

 

Thanks for listening Mike I really appreciate it

 

Smoove drip LV! Thanx.,.
Are you gigging any of your stuff these days?

 

Cheeeers!

Anyone catch the interview with Alex Van Halen in Rolling Stone? Pretty enlightening.
Ozzy as frontman for VH? Really?!?

 

That first Stone hit the spot so why not another.

 

Thanks Mike!! I don't do any live gigs anymore, just not worth the hassle plus it's hard to find other musicians with the same taste. My bass player is just tied up with drama these days and is unavailable even for recording. He keeps telling me next month and has been doing so for over a year now. Luckily I can do my own bass parts, but I do like the collaboration when possible. I won't lie though, I do miss playing live gigs.

 

The lack of German options this year is surprising. How do they do it so much better?

 

Prost!
