What beer are you drinking now? #138

Big thanks to jefferson for this trade. It's my first Hopslam and while very good, I can see why many think it's a bit overhyped. Maybe I'm spoiled here in San Diego with access to great IPA/DIPAs, but I'd rather fill my Alpine pint glass with something from Alpine.
Cheers!

 

Had this last night.
Misty Mountain Hops homebrew from a recent trade.
Delicious!!

 

(Lunch): Sushi with Sriracha hot chili sauce.
I have had a few offerings from Elysian; picked a 6 pack up of this and WOW, delicious!

 

Well.. Seeing as though its 11:30 right now I'm crushing down some h2o.

Tonight however ill be getting into Stone Best By. Pretty stoked!

 

came in for lunch and figured i might as well have a beer with it. first time with this one and im really enjoying it.. my kind of doppelbock!
well back to the lake i go.. hopefully the next six hours is better then the first. haven't even had a bite!
cheers!

 

Completely understand, I have to eat early lunch or whole afternoon is too rushed.

 

Kicking off vaca correct. This now, a couple headys in the parking lot tonight for Flyers-Pens and off to Disney first thing tomorrow!

 

Superconducter DIPA by 8 Wired. One of my new favorites! Mega hop bomb!

 

I've got the day off so a IIPA before noon seems more than appropriate.

Cheers BA!

 

Getting ready for the ride to Hunahpu.

 

Well, I'm not having a beer just yet, but later this afternoon my local bottle shop/tasting room/growler fill stop, Elizabeth Station, is having their one year anniversary party. Here are the beers they'll be pouring: FW Sucaba, Cascade Apricot Sour, Deschutes Jubel 2010 aged in Pinot Noir barrels, Abyss (I'm unsure of the vintage), an as yet undetermined cask from Kulshan (likely to be their new Saison), cask aged Torpedo from Sierra Nevada, and the unveiling of a collaboration brew between ES and Two Beers from Seattle, Walking Distance. In addition, every one gets a souvenir glass, a slice of pizza, a fresh baked cookie, and a scoop of ice cream from a local ice cream maker. It's going to be great! And RIP to Canadian legend Stompin' Tom Connors who passed away yesterday:

 

Backwoods Bastard. This is still one of my all time favorites... nice lunch beer! Have to let it warm a bit. Hard to drink slow enough to allow the flavor to bloom.

 

Well done, sir!
Just popped open this solid "macro craft"

 

It seems like yo have a great lunch with a great beer every day. I am a little jealous.

 

finally having Troeg's Nugget Nectar, glad to be on vaca, boy - this is awesome stuff, gonna have to take some back to the Mainers!

 

Today, to celebrate my 35th birthday, I will be celebrating with my family and friends the birth of my baby boy, Kayden Alexander (who turns 2 weeks old today) with a Special Kay (closest thing I could find to his first name), Rodenbach Alexander, and Blabaer 12 (the bluest thing I could think of).



(I eventually gave up trying to get him to look up at me. Poor thing had just woken up )

Cheers all! Life is good.

 

Blush...just try to mix it up and explore with what might taste good with certain beers.
Maybe we should meet up for lunch?

 

Stone Enjoy by at the Crescent Moon in Hickory.

 

Like everything about this. Congratulations, happy birthday, and stellar lineup. Enjoy!
