What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #2188

Candied orange peel...and perfectly bitter.

 

Glad you liked it. I was there several times and it was a great place to have a beer because of the view-beer was mediocre at best. From what I have seen they have upped their game big time. I have a bottle of Mother Of All Storms barleywine courtesy of @jzeilinger which I plan to open this Friday w @GreenBayBA and my son-looking forward to it !

 

Is that bourbon ?

 

youngsters sheesh !

 

Playing a little catch-up...

After beer last night, Basil Hayden Scotch with dry cured ham on crackers...

And no, it didn't really "pair" well per se - more like I just ate a bunch of crackers with awesome ham and then drank Scotch, but a win is a win...

Tonight I started with Sticky Situation, a 7.5% abv Belgian dubbel from Gun Hill...

Canned 9/24/18, a collaboration with West Kill Brewing, made with bourbon barrel aged maple syrup and toasted maple bark... Characteristics suggest watery dates and maple syrup... Oak tannins sort their way through lending some drying oakiness on the finish... Mildly sweet without much bitterness, and a faint shellac of maple and pine resin lingering on the palate... Fairly light-bodied, lightly carbonated, and very drinkable... Perhaps lacking some of the depth of flavor and feel of a traditional dubbel, this is still a very enjoyable beer... The bourbon's influence on the maple syrup is barely noticeable, and this is more of a maple and wood infused thin dubbel... Give it a try, but dubbel purists may find it lacking...

While I drank it I finally got all caught up with the MCU via Amazon Prime...

Another really great flick, packed with goodness, and, like most, it has a mid-credit and post-credit scene - winning stuff - can't wait for the next release, Captain Marvel, as well as the untitled Avengers installment, due in theaters in March and May, respectively...

Currently drinking That's a Paddlin' from Mikkeller SD...

New England-style DIPA, part of their "Hop Series;" canned 9/11/18... Delightfully juicy, with lots of orange, mango, and pineapple, and a fluffy, soft feel... Smooth and plush, sweet and plump - a real treat of a DIPA... Really diggin' this...

Food for thought...

Therapeutic and stressful at the same time??? So hungry!!!

Music to my ears...



Cheers...

 

Scholars and gentlemen. You do know the thread. I got the drift. And I thank you.

 

I agree. You are an old fucker.

 

Looks like an IPA-based evening gang. This is Fieldwork’s The Dopeness DIPA. Clocking in at 9ABV. I like the minimalist label art.

Time to Put A Blueberry On It. Thanks to @r0rschach for this in a ninja package.

4.13/5 rDev 0%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4

This beer pours a beautiful red/purple color. Dark, and deep. The head is red, 1 finger, but the retention is poor.
The nose is nice and rich with blueberry. Slightly tart nose.
Taste - it is a nice, rich, deep, slightly tart blueberry taste. The blueberry isn't artificial - it is all natural.
Bubbly feeling. The body is quite full, even for such a low ABV beer.
Solid Berliner. Just fun, and easy drinking. A nice change up from all the IPAs and stouts.

 

Canned 9/26/18 and 3 weeks old.
4-pack experiment complete.
I had one at 2 days old, 7 days old, 15 days old, and now tonight's at 21 days old.
The results are in:
15 days old>21 days old>7 days old>2 days old.
Cheers!

 

Was fun, but being the type of venue it was not as much as an outdoor show. The Youngbloods played at Goddard which was and may still be a hippy-dippy type type school. They would bring in people to teach you what you wanted to learn. Heavy flower power. Youngbloods played for 3 hrs. no breaks-awesome ! The Central Park shows were pretty cool as well. The band shell was not far from the street and one could go and just hang out outside and listen.

Being from Jersey ever heard of Jones Beach on Long Island ?

 

Too many non-beer posts by me here. I guess I need to go grab one-back in a bit !

 

Another new beer from Stillwater I picked up today. This one is called Retail NEIPA.

 

What a nightmare of a day. Drove about a hundred miles to try to get trade material, and completely struck out. Hopefully better luck this weekend. The person I've been dealing with has been super cool, and I'm getting like 4 steps closer to putting some checks on my beer bucket list.
I went to some bullshit place in Freeport today, and grabbed this. Amazing Brett saison. Unreal. Also, I grabbed a bottle of Allagash Pick Your Own, but I grabbed a bottle from the very way back. I got home, and realized that it was a bottle of HIVE 56. And I am not upset in the slightest. Can't find Hive anywhere.
Anyway, I'm super glad I posted a trade thread on here. There are actually genuinely good people left in the world. Cheers everyone.

 

A huge shout out to the man who I have swapped so many boxes with, I can’t even begin to come up with a number of how many in the last 3 years. JZ @jzeilinger turned me into a trader.

 

Our pitching this inning has led to the call for something stronger. 2016 Goose Island BCBS. One more left, but no sense sitting on these forever.

 

Very tasty, just right.
