What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #2115

We had company from out of town this weekend. Today's stop was at my daughters so they could see the baby (now over six months old). My daughter texted me and said to bring her some IPAs. She is not much of a beer drinker and IPAs are hardly ever on her list.

Being a good dad, I brought a couple of IPAs as requested. Just got them yesterday from @TheIPAHunter . By the way, thanks dude. My daughter and I shared them. We both thank the Hunter for his contribution to making today a memorable day.

Drinking this new to me beer from Sixpoint, with the current state of my beloved family room in the background.

 

We got the last ceiling fan installed in my son's new house, and I finished of the last CW BA Stout. Again had to improvise on the opener. I stashed a 4-pack of KBS in the back of the fridge for the next visit - safe since I'm the only beer drinker in the family.

 

@Knapp85 attack this afternoon. In chronologic order:









And right now? From my Indiana haul, Nubian Overlord Double IPA from 18th Street Brewing:

 

Mrs. Z isn’t feeling well and has been in bed all day, so I’m on kitchen duty, mostly cleaning out the ‘fridge Jr. has ignored for the last three months while we were away...

Beer #2 is another Jai Alai:



I may have to move onto stronger beer, spirits, or both - Cheers y’all!

 

Prairie Deconstructed BOMB! Chili Peppers

 

Pool time.

Looking forward to the Lollapalooza broadcast for these guys in about an hour.

 

Other Half Double Mosaic Dream. Cheers

 

Batch #2 of Vocabulary Spills, ridiculously crushable for a 9% DIPA. My new U-Keg has kept this remarkably fresh at 3 days out.

Cheers,

 

This is Tropicalia from Creature Comforts, an extraordinary and pleasantly bitter IPA. I am pleased to have the opportunity to enjoy it, after a multi-year wait.

Normal weekend over here with some hot weather. Made another big new beer haul from my favorite store yesterday, and got hooked up with some big wants as expected. I have way more stuff than I know what to do with right now. Just have to knock em out as I go. Massive amounts of IPAs that need priority, the big barrel aged stuff can wait. Made my usual bottle returns and laundry for the day. Also buzz cut my hair again as it was getting thick and annoying.

New beer:

Daily lager review. Excellent Euro pale! Fantastic fluffy head retention and thick lasting lacing on the glass. Aromas and flavors of big cracker, white bread dough, toasted biscuit malts; with light-moderate peppercorn, herbal, grassy hops. Light-moderate herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium-high carbonation, medium body, and fairly crisp/clean finishing. Creamy/bready/grainy malts and some sticky hops in the mouthfeel. Touch of lingering resins. Light-moderate increasing bitter/carbonated dryness. No astringency. Very flavorful/refreshing 4.6%, not watery at all. Perfectly clean lagering, no fruity/yeasty notes. Really nailed it! Very clean and rich pils malts, with balancing Saaz/Lublin noble hops. I would buy again. One of the best pale lagers I've had in a while. 4.03


Shipyard is on the haze train now. Really nice stuff. Great head retention and nice lacing on the glass. Aromas and flavors big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, wood, and pine hops; with moderate wheat, cracker, biscuit dough malts; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; creamy/bready/grainy malts and some sticky hops in the mouthfeel. Light resins/rinds. Lightly increasing lingering bitter/resin dryness, minimal hop astringency. No warmth of 7%. Smooth, not overly aggressive. Citra, Mosaic, El Dorado showcase. Very juicy, dank, and earthy balanced hop complexity; nice bready malt backbone, with minimal residual sweetness from lingering dryness. More resinous/drying than I expected, but it's a really enjoyable attempt on the style. 3.9


Cheers

I have to find that lager! I love Euro pales, and throwing a Polish eagle on the can is a pretty sure way to get me to try. Thanks for the recommendation I'm gonna keep my eyes open for it. Na zdrowie

 

And thankfully, it’s over. 720 chicken halves gone. Hopefully make about $6k. Although I did cheat and moved all the picnic tables around with the tractor, still a 14 hour day that I need about 3 to recover from. According to my phone, I did this when not on the tractor or golf cart.

 

Troegs Nebulous Pennsylvania wild ale - one of the best wild ales I have had. Definitely will pick more up the next time in PA!
