What beer are you drinking now? #869

Decided to make my own Strawberry Berliner.

Using the standard Berliner from Three Palms - called Zip Zag. Solid on it's own



Added fresh FL strawberries and I am loving the results

 

This one is interesting. Not the best , but certainly better than the price would indicate.

 

It's now my official opinion that there's something about Vermont water that just makes the best IPA's around....another winner, from Pro Pig brewery. Side note, this is the cutest little growler ever.

 

Those bars open EARLY down there in Texas!! (Everything be bigger in Texas!)

 

Busy afternoon

Beast mode x 3

At a friend's house

Non BA but It's a nice day so I'll oblige

And now this...

Cheers!

 

The Grand Reserva blew me away Friday night this is almost as good. Almost.

 

Sipping on a Dogfish Head Immort Ale while I sun myself on the front steps. Almost 50 degrees and it feels like 70, love this time of year! Have a good Sunday all.

 

That really is a tough decision. For ribs... If I'm using a pretty peppery spicy rub, then I go with the heavier smoke I get from hickory or pecan. If I'm using a sweeter rub, then I usually go the lighter smoke obtained from apple or cherry wood. Looks good, man!

 

Starting this fine Sunday with this beautiful 120 that's just shy of 1 year old. Cheers all.

 

Home preparing dinner, enjoying
Hill Farmstead Everett, a treasure to be had.

Cheers all

 

My yearly tribute to Rich.

Currently sipping on a Heady Topper, review in the " New Beer Sunday" thread.....

 

2013 Goose Island Bourbon Country Barleywine. The year and half age has definitely mellowed this out. Still get some slight bourbon, oak, vanilla, and coconut; however the age allows the dark fruits (plum, raisin, black cherry), carmel, toffee, and brown sugar to come to the forefront as well. The stout qualities from the one held BCBS barrels is still barely hanging around, adding some light chocolate notes. The aging is putting this very close to King Henry. World class.

 

Happy Sunday BAs, a little taste off after breaking up 3" of ice in my driveway.
East Coast vs. West Coast, Expensive ($15) vs. Economical ($9), White can vs. Black can, Fish vs. Moose.

 

The vanilla is about 50% of what it was fresh. The whiskey barrel has really mellowed out sweetly. Working together really well now. I'll check it again after Spring or so.
