    Here’s "Round Three" trying to emulate something like the old Bitburger/Sierra Nevada compilation beer Triple Hop’d Lager. I’d say this one is a heck of a lot closer than the previous two!

    Today’s hop load on the IPA side features a blend of Bravo, Chinook, Citra, CTZ, and Magnum hops, giving it a very traditional West Coast IPA flavor before blending. Speaking of Westies, by itself this is a super-clear IPA, blended with the Bitburger Pilsner, it is supurb. At a 50/50 ratio, the ABV comes in around 6.2%, and the IBU is approximately (28+45)/2 = 36.5 IBU or thereabouts. Nice!

    Good head, terrific lacing, and triumphant clarity, flavor is excellent on this one. Highly recommended for those of you looking for a Pilsner/IPA blender! CHUGWORTHY!

    ...'And It Stoned Me' is reminiscent of a great time my old USAF friend Tom and I took a cross-country hike through the Rhineland-Pfalz area of West Germany...I was stationed at Sembach AB (and so was Tom)...he lived in Sippersfeld and we hiked somewhere south-southeast of their on a a late Spring / early Summer day...our hike took us along a small chain of three spring-fed ponds, and we actually jumped into the last pond for a quick swim to cool off and then wandered to some sort of farm / gasthaus place where we indulged in beer in pomme frittes (french fries)...

    ...Tom is a huge Van Morrison fan and thought this tune captured the spirit of our adventure...I've never disagreed with this...

    Bones Shirt Black Lager from Suarez Family Brewing by way of @TCgenny

    Nice roasty aroma, clean crisp light body, finishes smooth and creamy with a hint of roast malt. Suarez does a nice job on lagers. Thanks Tom. Cheers!

    I’m turning hockey on now, getting sick of watching Mr Wick kill people.

    My wife went to Ocean State Job Lot today and brought me home a new glass because I’ve been good with my spending lately. I had to christen it, don’t usually drink during the week. I actually needed some liquid courage though because I went and bought a $250 custom made clamming rake while she was gone today. I’m kind of like all these guitar guys on BA except my addiction is clam rakes, oops. Just look for the guy walking around with a mini bull rake sticking out of his ass

    Same. I saw Live Oak Pils about a month ago, but that's about it. The only Real Ale I see is are the quad, stout, and scotch ale mixed sixers.

    This was a rare miss by Good Word. Well Oiled Blend #3 2022 Barrel Age Barleywine. Blend of two Imperial Stouts, barleywine and wheatwine. Overly sweet even for a barleywine. Barrel flavor very minimal. I've had some better ones from them for sure.
