What beer are you drinking now? #1367

To Øl • Fuck Art Let's Dance!

 

Both @Klourie and @muchloveforhops3 announced the impending arrivals of second children on yesterday's thread. May I say two things, gentlemen?
1) congratulations
2) teach the new one to wake mommy up.
Otherwise, I will await seeing early am posts from you like this.

This used to be a song on my favorite Monday morning cd at work. Now it's just wishful thinking.

I say it all with love, advocates.
Love of beer, that is.
Happy Monday.

 

Good morning BAs! Another overcast day here in NW PA as I listen to the apples hitting the roof. Trying something milder today:



It's not a bad beer - you've just got to let it warm up a little away from that frozen beer mind set. Nice malt and hops, a little diacetyl, tasty!

 

I really really want one of those Snorkel glasses!

 

Wootstout!

 

Went to a bottle share yesterday, here's a few of the highlights!








And a couple pics from our hike the other day, amazing!



Okole maluna y'all!

 

I've got a bottle of '14 Parabola sitting in my cellar. How's it drinking?

 

Not exactly local but locally available.



Appearance: Nice light gold, attractive white cap and good lacing.

Aroma: Malt first followed by a fuller sensation of hops that are earthy and spicy in a rounded out sort of way. The hops don't hit you like so many Session IPAs, rather cover my sense of scent like a comfy blanket.

Taste: Rather nice as these Session IPAs go, it actually has some malt with the hops. At 6.3% it's got some stuffing to product all those fermentables and it shows. Hardly a session beer at this strength but I guess that's the marketing division input. Doesn't really stand out in the hops department but what's there is flavorful and present in a non threatening sort of way. I think my Bud Light friends might like this but they would get whacked pretty quickly.

Texture: Medium

Overall: A sensory flavor impact reminiscent of AALs yet something different. Malt without being malty and hops without being hoppy. A tweener. Not first rank but lower the price and it may prove popular.

 

Good Monday morning all. It's about 8:30 here in Milwaukee and I'm charting several day trips with the RV. Some coffee to clear the cobwebs:



While Mrs. Zombies is in Barbados, I hope to visit some local, and not so local breweries. I'll keep you posted - cheers!

 

Revolution Brewing in Chicago could be a day trip

 

Thanks! I'll Google them :-)

 

Half Acre brewing is not too far from them as well. Bottle shop-West Lake View liquors

 

Firestone Walker 15th Anniversary
