What beer are you drinking now? #1326

pFriem • Belgian Strong Dark Ale

 

Morning, BA's and happy Tuesday.......

Bit cooler and less humid today - big - t-storms roared through last night and brought a cold front with it

Feeling a bit like a Dodo today.....another damn tasty Ohio beer!

 

Getting fully stimulated

 

Trillium Cuvée de Tetreault.. wild ale aged in oak barrels with Cabernet grapes and black currents. Tasty.

 

In a search of my stash to see if I had saved something else (I hadn't) I decided one of these needed to be emptied. Smoooooth and sweet.

 

I heard that this is the alpha fruit beer. But to be honest i really didn't like the feel of this beer at all. I think its safe for me to say fruit beers just arent my thing. It tastes good but no carbonation to break up all that heavy sweetness.

 

Good morning BAs! Thunderstorms moved through last night and mudded in all the planting Mrs. Lizard and I did yesterday - that's out of the way for this season. Today's sunny morning new breakfast beer is:



Nice!

 

From last night
New Belgium Citradelic



Here is a close up of the label 'cause i love the design

 

Summit's 30th Anniversary Keller Pils. A pretty good breakfast beer.

 

Looks like a tasty blend! Great cup, too :-)
Ever see that movie Chappie? The Die Antwoord crew got a chance to show off their acting chops - in other words, they did a great job of playing themselves
Cheers!

 

Mornin' BA's! Just after 9 here in sunny NOVA & I'm starting with an old fave:

I should really work this stuff back into the regular rotation :-)

Tunes:


As always- Drink up & drink on, my fellow advocates!

 

I'd say that Chappie might actually be my favorite of Blomkamp's three big releases to-date. He does such a superlative job of balancing real emotion with the more 'cartoonish' elements. Couldn't agree more re: his style as a director. Never have I seen such effects-laden films manage to build such a sense of immediacy & reality. He's like the anti-Shane Carruth (another favorite of mine)
Alright, I'm back to beer - don't wanna turn this into a movie-review thread

 

I'm definitely guilty of passing up Unibroue more than I should.

 

Maui Brewing Co. Hopkine.

 

Back again, BA's! Now around 10 here in warming-up NOVA & I'm onto a new-to-me local brew:

GPA (Grapefruit Pale Ale) from Dominion. This is interesting. The bittering hops are much stronger than expected & actually seem to compliment the grapefruit-rind notes pretty well. Sadly, there's just not much else going on. It's too heavy & slick to be considered refreshing, so the well-defined citrus bite almost seems out-of-place.
To my fellow VA BA's - is it just me, or has Dominion been slipping a bit lately?

Tunes:

Masters at work here :-)

Cheers!

 

A sneezy morning after walking the dog (I'm allergic to something out here);
otherwise, a beautiful day shaping up. Going wild this morning-Firestone Walker's 'Bretta Rose', a wild ale fermented with raspberries:



Tart raspberries and a dry champagne like finish. Subtle funk underneath. Nice.
Cheers from Petaluma!
