What beer are you drinking now? #1645

Doing some head to head comparisons from my US haul at my local



Win goes to Heavy Mettle unanimously. Smoother and juicier overall. Mettle seems to have some noise in the flavor

 

I was really worried because it is a 2015 and I thought it might have turned, but I lucked out! Delicious.

 

Good Morning!



Turkeys are gobbling like crazy this morning.
Have a great Saturday.

and remember.....
Drink early and Drink often!

 

That's not my name, but thanks for the high regards!

 

Having a Sixpoint Bengali.

Some Sixpoint brews are not very hard to get at the moment here in the Netherlands. Too bad the only shops I know that have them are not around the corner from where I live. For who is interested; I found this one yesterday in a (or probably 'the') beer shop in the city of Breda.
Cheers all!

 

Keep quiet? Me? Naaaaah...I won't give you all the pleasure . Besides, I'm having too much fun, and still have a job to do. That's right, it's time for the Glass of the Day Awards!

GotD: Ummmm....I don't even know what to say. Cheers and congrats to @foundersasap for making my job easy, and taking this thing to the next level with this "xenomorph" glass (as El Brujo called it ).
2nd: I'm loving these stange / IPA hybrid glasses that we're seeing so much of lately, and this proper Jack's Abbey post from @FJ88 takes the cake.
3rd: And coming out of the gate strong, @SudsDoctor 's Warsteiner stemmed flute stayed in the game, earning him his first mention since WBAYDN 1379 ...! (Yes, the archives are real .)

And today, The Staff has decided to pay tribute as the honorable mention to The Holy Grail. Thanks @SawDog505 for bringing us there (almost daily). Your iconic posts from that bar stool will missed.
Cheers everyone, and I will see you all soon!

GotD.

Special Edition Honorable Mention: The Holy Grail.

 

Trees are a buddin'. Birds are a chirpin'.

I decided to take a pass on Record Store Day. Lines just aren't my thing. In place of that I decided to whip up a batch of Szechuan chili oil.



It goes on everything.

Beer while it steeps.

 

I like this.

 

Good stuff! Cheers! I have been looking for the right peppercorns locally and we still don't have any.

 

Hello all. First post for a while. Just got back from Mexico vaca last week where the tipples of choice were tequila (loving those Palomas) and rum...not so much the macro lagers on offer at my resort

Tucking into my first KBS 2017 of the year. Good stuff

Have a hoppy saturday BAs!

 

Szechuan peppercorns are a little tough. They can be old even when they are found at the Asian markets. Give Penzey's a look. If you don't have one nearby they have free shipping on $25+ orders. They have great spices, very fresh.

 

Cheers!

 

Sweet Action from Sixpoint.
The Bengali I had before went down quickly. Cans are a bit on the tiny side ofcourse
Cheers.

 

Brunch brew . . .



Score 3.59
look: 3.5 | aroma 3.25 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.75

Light, clear gold color with white cap.

Clean scent of light malt with a touch of floral hops.

Taste is mildly medium rounded and rather nice. Malt/grain on entry with hops sliding into third but it's the honey touch that lingers in the aftertaste that is the lasting memory.

Light to medium texture with balancing carbonation.

This isn't a wow beer but it's certainly presentable in polite company. It's generally perceived by consumers to be above average yet isn't challenging to the point of being an acquired taste. A soccer mom beer.

 

F*ck it. I'm going to be riding a bike everywhere I go today anyways. Might see if I can go scrounge up some ramps and morels or whatever other fungus I see.
