What beer are you drinking now? #404

If I had more I'd send you one. This is the first time I've had it. I love this stuff. To me its better that G'Knight.

 

Agreed! I tried it at three temps and room temp to me is the winner.

 

Had a couple SNPAs with turkey dinner. Excellent. I brought them home to share with my father- and try to get him more into craft. He found it undrinkable, unfortunately. He says it was too "strong", and I assume that means it's too hoppy for his tastes. I'll get him something more malt-forward next time I think.

 

Cheers all.

 

What did you think of Bolt Cutter?
Considered opening one tonight, but went with other options.

 

I was going to crack one and went with other options, but equally curious.
I had one to the dome relatively fresh. I liked it, but figure it's going to evolve into something more to my liking over next few years. Laid the other 3 down.

 

I'm thankful for Flora, so good!

 

Founders All Day IPA (before heading to parent's house)


Founders Breakfast Stout w/ pumpkin pie


Now I'm back home and enjoying another FBS.


Happy Thanksgiving!

 

Now going to this post-turkey, with a small sample pour for my dad. He's not a big beer drinker, but he does have a taste for German and some Belgian beers when I bring them over.

 

Like I mentioned to SanFranJake earlier, I thought it was a good brew. Mostly sweet, but with enough bitterness to make it easy enough to drink. I still think it could be aged longer, but it was good to drink now too. I think now or later, it'll still be a good beer!

 

Some of the Celebration made it home...

Hopefully Pittsburgh will give me something to celebrate

 

Russian River Pliny The Elder, still on the shelves here in rural Kentucky.

 

Flower Power.
This stuff has a signature taste. I think I'd be able to pick it out in a blind tasting 9/10 times.

 

Just came home from an especially long and anxious day at work. But at least now I can have a beer, I'm thankful.

Cheers BA, happy Thanksgiving

Best to all on this day of thanks.

Thanksgiving.

The daytime drinker was a growler of Toyon Amber from Cambria Brewing Company in beautiful Cambria, CA. I am frequently bored with ambers, but this one is outstanding. West Coast style.

Dinner is a growler of Firestone Walker Vessel 8 saison.

Brewmaster Matt Brynildson and team have created a small batch of outrageously drinkable light-bodied saison. Think “Duvel” meets “Dupont Saison”. The yeast is a French Saison type. The flavor sublime: Pear drop, earthy, peppery, with a soft sweet malt middle, a touch of candied sugar and Styrian Golding finish.

 

delicious

 

This was aged a year when I got it so I figured what the hell, let's see what some more age does for it.
