    • Really love RIIP @Nugganooch . Huntington Beach is among my favorite, and per capita (under 200,000) would rate it best American Beer City (RIIP, Green Cheek, Beachwood, plus at least a dozen I haven't had a chance to visit).
    • I was also glad to come across Dovetail Baltic-Style Porter as well @Qbert . Need to visit / pick up beers from Dovetail more often.
    • @brewskis - Best wishes for your California Honeymoon!
    • @tekstr1der - I have the same mindset. Follow your gut, eat, drink and keeping living well.
    • @jzeilinger - F Robbie Hummel, mute his Purdue ass. :grin:
    Today

    Somewhat intimidated for the 24 hour block between volunteering for FOBAB this evening (a seven hour shift) and then attending Saturday afternoon. Hope to survive, will try to post a few during the event.

    Light and easy and hopefully a good night sleep the next two evenings after enjoying this pour.

    Hello again. One of our cats has taken a fancy to waking us up at about 3-3:30 am and so this can of Rhinegeist Saber Tooth Tiger Imp IPA should knock me back out for a few more winks. It's a good one. Cheers BAs!

    Good morning,
    yesterday before going home from work, a quick stop at the Eternal City Brewing brewery, which I find on the ring road of Rome after a short change of direction.

    Eternal City Brewing (Roma, ITA) - MORA - Oatmeal Stout (6%)

    At the pump.
    Small toasted aromas and lighter chocolate.
    Beige foam, just the right amount, with a soft and creamy consistency.
    Light and soft body thanks to the use mainly of oats.
    In the mouth I find notes of toasted hazelnut that go more towards the biscuit than the coffee. Notes of dark chocolate that fades into licorice, immediately dampened by a cereal softness that pervades the entire beer.
    The body has a hint of light silkiness, but it is rather watery.
    Yes, easy to drink, but also enough to be far from unforgettable.
    I would say, scholastic.

    Sláinte .
    Cheers .

    Happy Friday BA's! Thanks @ChicagoJ for opening the bar.
    @micada From yesterday thread, Guinness Foreign Extra Stout is my favorite too.

    Starting early today again with a Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra.

    I usually don't imbibe this early in the morning, but after I fancified my Eggo waffle with a chicken wing and banana, I thought, what the hell, Founders Breakfast Stout would pair quite well. Leggo my Eggo!

    Good day BAs! Thanks @ChicagoJ for opening the virtual bar today - I wanted a drink! We're back from the wilds of TX after a short flight and a crappy food choice at Austin airport - laundry's done and so is the first phase of turkey day shopping - Black Friday's only a week away so this season's BCBS will be lined up to join the next year's shelf turds.

    Today's New Breakfast Beer will never be a shelf turd:

    Final impression and summation: 4.25 Looks like virtually every other American Imperial Stout on the market. However, the lack of in-your-face bourbon in both aroma and flavor is a pleasant change from most BBAs. I like this. If that’s what Heaven Hill brings to the barrel, I’ll have to try bourbon again. Thanks Justin!

    I would be white lying if I ever stared imbibing in the morning is bad, but what it says on the label: Founders BREAKFAST Stout. Drink and enjoy, it remains a great beer.

    My favorite Stout, for sure! On another note, a maple syrup soaked chicken wing gives a Buffalo wing a good run for its money. Cheers!

    G'day all!

    I got up a little earlier today because I have another shipment of beer from Beer Drop.

    First up, a very nice fresh hop Pilsner from Jack's Abby. It hits all the right notes, in general. Some notes from the can:

    Decoction mash using Maine floor malt. Coolpool hopping w/MA grown Triumph & NY grown Cascade.

    Prost!

    Nice! I bet the Founders was matching real well with your breakfast.

    Sticking with IPA, Bissell Brothers The Substance.

    I loves me a good Scottish Ale. This one is way too sweet to my palate. Darn it.

    Prost!

    Good morning BAs! Stayed up late, slept in. Dogs have been walked and fed, kitchen cleaned…it’s coffee time - KBS:

    [​IMG]

    Bottled 9/10/24. Poured at 52°. Such a wonderful breakfast beer. Just the right amount of bourbon and chocolate always.

    Hanging out on the back patio with the dogs. Breezy 64° with clear skies and nonstop sunshine. Two of my trivia crew are getting married today, and thereafter hosting a huge beer/wine party tonight. More fun to come - Cheers and have a fantastic Friday y’all!
