What beer are you drinking now? #2749

Have a good Thursday. I fell asleep early last night around 7 PM after eating a big 2 lb eye of round roast, that was amazing. I was up over 24 hrs at that point any way. Finished up an assassination mission in borderlands when I woke up at 3AM. I only had 1 person to kill left out of 4. Ended up getting 2 more really powerful sniper rifles, and some nice elemental assault rifles. I am currently going through my arsenal to sell off weak guns, and get a better well rounded lineup. I got a bunch of eridium over the last couple missions, so I upgraded my backpack, Assault, and Sniper capacity. A sniper with a fire elemental has been my main work horse, but I just got an even stronger one after the last mission. About 40 hit points higher damage.


Great Notion Juice Jr. Excellent NEIPA. Great rocky head retention/foamy lacing. Aromas and flavors of big tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine hops; with moderate wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light biscuit/toasted malts; and herbal/floral/grassy hop earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation/body; balanced creamy/bready/grainy malts, sticky hops, and some resins/rinds in the mouthfeel. Light-moderate increasing resin dryness, no hop astringency. Nicely smooth/soft, minimal warming 6%. Awesome Mosaic showcase. Super juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a great clean wheat/oat/malt backbone. Mild residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. No complaints. Loved the hop profile as expected.


Cheers

Been a while since I listened to this album, going to give it a few full spins while I play games.

 

Good morning all, been tossing and turning since 5am. Working my part time job later as a crazy beer geek and I am pretty good at it. I wish it didn’t mess up some of hanging with the family, but I will get my fill homeschooling this morning. Cheers all and this is LeRoy the second Employee of the month and he will be heading down to PA soon for a swap with @TheIPAHunter .

 

Good day BAS! Well, it's rainy hard which makes it a typical summer day here in NW PA. I finished debarking my apple logs yesterday and made the first cut and, on some, the final cut to prepare them for smoking. Since today is Thursday, it's laundry day - the first load is in the washer and the white stuff is marinating - I should be done by noon.
Got an email from Craftshack yesterday - my order from 13 days ago is finally ready to ship. That means the IPAs are just that much older. I know - first world problems.
Today's Cleaning Out the Reefer Breakfast Beer, from 7/17/19:



I'd forgotten all about this - it was buried in a drawer with cans of WOOT. Quite tasty - think I'll have another.

 

Well in the states, socialism is confined to billionaires, professional sports owners, large corporations, hedge funds and private equity firms. All others must fend for themselves.

Trying to stick to one pour a day until I reach my slim high school weight hopefully in June or July if I stay disciplined. While I think New Glarus produces great fruit beers and Central Waters produces very good thin bodied stouts, my favorite Wisconsin brewer over multiple styles is loved by @scream and I and many others. Wisconsin brewer 3 Sheeps does a great job producing good to great beers over many different styles. Had the fortune of visiting their brewery last August, which I plan to replicate annually.

Today’s pour is a silky smooth rich chocolate and creamy full bodied stout, Cashmere Hammer. It takes much self control at times to stop at one pour. I turn to Marcus Aurelius to remain stoic in times like these.

Have a great Beer Thursday and cheers to better days in May and beyond!







True story, this first song was written to celebrate the farmers who lost their farms to benevolent bankers yet still love America.



People are truly universally the same all over.

 

Ascension Fifth Stop. Awesome Hazy APA. Opaquely hazy green. Nice fluffy head retention/spotty foamy lacing. Aromas and flavors of big tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine hops; with moderate wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light toasted malts; and herbal/floral/grassy hop earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and fairly sticky/resinous/rindy mouthfeel. Lightly increasing resin dryness; no hop astringency. Very smooth/soft, minimal warming 6% or lingering hop burn after the finish. Awesome Citra showcase. Very juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a nice sized wheat/oat/malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. Loved it. Ascension really has their haze game in the right ballpark.


Cheers

Going straight through the discography. Not sure why I never gamed and listened to music at the same time, but it's amazing. Just turn on the subtitles for the game story.

 

Good morning BA
I had a much more gloomy post composed and thought better of it. Nightshifts are done. Working 2 on 6 off these days. Blessed to be employed and healthy.

Cheers all and enjoy your Thursday!

 

good morning guys... morning porter it is!?

 

Good morning, BA's, and a blueberry muffin to you all! This is Blueberry Muffin, a hefeweizen from Second State in Cedar Falls, Iowa. I love it when a brewer keeps his promises. This is straight-up blueberry muffin. Not blueberry, but blueberry muffin. Fresh, "right out of the oven" blueberry muffin. I'm trying to break the all-time record for the number of times the word "blueberry" appears in a single post. I can't help it, though. There's just something special about a blueberry muffin hefeweizen. Don't you blueberry fans agree?



Too bad it's not brewed with locally-sourced blueberries. Or maybe it is. I'm not sure.

 

Going with another local-ish beer today, New Image Coriolis Effect IPA. Hittin the spot.
Might take a day otherwise - and switch over to some (n/a) seltzer for the rest of it - need a break. Cheers - be well.

 

Hey man I try very hard, sadly. Thank you and you are one I enjoy hanging at the virtual bar with. Been trying to display more of my sweet glass collection, many given in trade from @jzeilinger . Cheers man.

 

Aurelius' Meditations is the only book that is ALWAYS near or on my night-stand. Even Emperors can have some deep thoughts.
Cheers to Stoics.

 

Another gem heading to PA for @TheIPAHunter . Can’t wait for you to try this monster.

 

I see you've made some progress with that puzzle. I've always been terrible with puzzles. Especially when trying to do them without a beer.
