What beer are you drinking now? #1474

Ordnance Brewing • Bläckfiskey Bourbon Barrel Imperial Stout

 

Rise and shine, it's coffee time.

 

I'm kind of bored but I have been cooking with my son . We got some nice herbs. He got fresh bay leaves so I am going to make rice pudding with bay leaves. We just had the fresh marjoram I bought with mushrooms and pasta in cream sauce. I want to make lemon and marjoram on shrimp. But darn I am old and need a few days on cereal and salad or I will get larrrrrrge! Cheers BA's!

 

Roof Rack, a Vienna Style lager from Bent Paddle. Tasty! And pairs well with cold pizza.

 

Day of the dead.

Wait-wrong dead?


That's better.

 

It's not quite the Mexican chocolate I enjoyed growing up on the south side of Chicago, but damn good in it's own right. Happy Dia de los Muertos to all!

 

A tall Hercules and a Reuben wrap .

 

Finally getting around to breakfast, opened another Xocoveza to go with it.

 

Happy Hump Day BA's. First off, looking forward to what will be a great World Series Game 7 finale, and second, great jobs on the glassware yesterday people! It's time for the Glass of the Day Awards!

GotD: With not one, but three outstanding submissions yesterday , this gold rimmed, beefy based, tub of a chalice gets the honors courtesy of @JamFuel . Cheers and congrats!
2nd: And another BA with multiple, all proper posts, @Zaphog for this Short's display. Pour a can into a can glass, kinda weird, but a bottle into a can...that just works! With a 4 on the Floor post (see what I did there drummers ?), cap, bottle, glass, and coaster...perfect.
3rd: And another for, you guessed it... @dcotom ! The human thesaurus delivers again with this crackled and slant bowled wine glass. Or was it reticulated and beveled ?

Honorable mentions go out to @Salt-n-Beer for his unending supply of Andechs, er, I mean a beautiful gold embossed Erdinger Weiss glass, and to @jzeilinger for Hopus Krumpus, because it was fun to read next to each other . (I should mention that this Hopus glass has received a GotD previously by a certain "winged" BA .)

Cheers everyone, and I will see you all soon!

GotD.

A traditional Bavarian Urweisse from Ayinger. One of the best I think.
Zum Wohl!

 

Happy Wednesday BAs

Ran down to Uinta Brewing to pick up a few beers and decided to hit the taproom for a pint. Having the Ales for ALS IPA. It's very fresh and full of citrus and a bit of pine. Excited about Uinta's limited release of their new Jack Rabbit Saison aged in local Beehive Distillery Gin Barrels. Per Uinta, Jack Rabbit is a dry crisp ale with a touch of spice gentle herbal notes and a bright fruity nose. Saving for Sunday to share with my brother in law.

Cheers BAs

 

Would you please enlighten me about Uinta, and more importantly Utah? From what I understand, they are not allowed to serve beer over 4% abv, but can sell stronger beers packaged? How does this work at the brewery?

 

Another soon to be dead Harvest Ale on a warm November day. We're going to pay for this beautiful autumn weather we've been enjoying!

 

Reaching out for an Op & Top from De Molen while cooking. This 'Op & Top' is described on the label as American bitter-ish. Not to heavy on the alcohol (4,5%) and has a nice fresh bitter taste.
Cheers!

 

That is correct nothing over 4% on tap but you can buy any of their stronger beers and drink from the bottle at the brewery, extremely odd I know! No real logic around it because either way you can load up on as much high point beer as you want at a bar or brewery just not on tap! (Silly and Odd) the 4 percent law has forced these breweries to attempt to master full flavored session beers and they do a fairly good job at it given the circumstances.

As far as Uinta goes I find it to be one of Utahs better craft breweries and their distribution to 35 states would suggest that too. They got a whole outdoorsy thing going on, earth wind and beer and craft their beers to go along with the states natural beauty. Salt Lake City is by no means a craft beer mecca and it likely never will be until a few things change but craft beer is alive and well there with the likes of Uinta, Epic, Squatters/Wasatch, Red Rock, Proper Brewing and 2Row etc etc.

I enjoy the SLC beer scene myself and hit it up as often as possible living just north in Idaho.

Cheers @Lingenbrau

Wife and I are planning a San Diego Beercation hopefully sooner than later and I am excited about that!

 

Lunch beer, with frogmore stew:
