    I’m seeing a lot of Racer 5s in the virtual bar lately, I notice because it is one of my all time favorite beers, unfortunately they don’t seem to distribute to Virginia any more… :slight_frown:

    ps-Last time I had one was in San Francisco a year ago, they don’t date and the beers were past their due date, still drank them as I had Pliny to clear my palate.

    Drinking a Piwo Grodziskie style from Tree House now called Wycinanki with 4% abv, brewed with smoked wheat malt and Polish Lubelski hops. Crisp, refreshing and light with notes of pale mild wheat malt, lemony citrus and smoked meaty ham and bacon flavors. Real interesting beer and glad I got to try this style thanks to these guys. Cheers all!

    Made a rigatoni pasta alla vodka sauce with sweet Italian sausage meat and extra seasonings:ok_hand:

    If it is any consolation to you brother Racer 5 used to be a top 5 (ha) rotational IPA for me. Today it is a challenge to even find fresh here in SoCal and I contest it is not the same beer as years of yore as well. That said this Tall Boy is date stamped and 4 months old however tasting exceptionally well all things considered. Cheers :beers:

    1) Benediktiner Hell (5.0%):
    A German Helles with flavors of pale malts, yeast, bread.
    versus
    2) Weihenstephaner Festbier (5.8%): A German Festbier with flavors of pale malt, smooth honey, cereal, pale Munich malts. Smooth. (Correctly matched the two blind)

    Benediktiner Helles is light, bready, and smooth. This is growing on me.
    Next Weihenstephaner Festbier. More floral, honey, and sweet. More flavor overall. This is getting a bit light-struck being bottled, but I still think it's a better beer.
    Winner: Weihenstephaner Festbier

    To paraphrase Forrest Gump, "and just like that it was summer." 83° at the moment and I'm joining my fellow enthusiast @beerloserLI with a Heady. Cheers!

    In my hands that glass is an accident waiting to happen! The can design is really appealing.

    Good afternoon BAdvocates. I’m drinking another tasty Corona on this beautiful Tuesday. Felt a little earthquake yesterday evening. 5.5 in magnitude. Always a weird sight to see your house moving!

    Cheers all!

    Staying with the PA brews, getting into Storm King from Victory. This brew stands the test of time, a well done RIS.
    Cheers!
