What beer are you drinking now? #2771

Took a nice nap and woke up with my right ear blocked with wax. This sucks. Going to have to blow it out with water.

Old Nation M-43. Amazing NEIPA as always. Flavors of huge grapefruit, tangerine, orange juice, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berries, lemon zest, orange peel, and light pepper/pine hops; with wheat, biscuit dough, light honeyed malt sweetness; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Very mild pine, grassy, zesty, citrus peel bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; very creamy, bready, grainy wheat/oats, and light hop stickiness in the mouthfeel. Lightly increasing bitter dryness, no hop astringency. Very dank/juicy hops, with perfect wheat, oat, malt malt balance. Not overly sweet/heavy from lingering dryness, amazing soft feel. Super easy drinking. Glad to have this as a year round available beer. This is one of my top most purchased beers ever at the moment. It just doesn't get any better for the style vs availability. Every Old Nation NEIPA is better than most anything else I've had in the state. DDH is just as impressive; but a bit more bitter, resinous, dank, and earthy.


Cheers

 

Back at the room letting the sunscreen soak in. Epic brewing NE style IPA....I see a beach chair nap in my future.....oh yeah, no bacon at the breakfast buffet, wife took matters into her own hands..

 

Like this one still.

 

Nice view - near DePaul U?

Samuel Smith Yorkshire Stingo, a beer which took an inordinate amount of time to find. But it was well worth the search.

 

Nothing to do today. When the hell am I gonna have a day that feels at all different from yesterday?

 

Awesome pics!

 

They still let people on the roofs?

 

My ears really hurt
I made it through twelve seconds.

Tank Seven brewed here



Miles' was born a few miles from Missouri (Mizz-her-ah), and played his first gig as a recent high school graduate with Billy Eckstine's group in Saint Louis, filling in for trumpeter Buddy Anderson. The rest shall we say is history.

Whether you were an American Giants or Monarchs fan, the White Sox or Cardinals, or even the Browns, Athletics or football Cardinals (Chicago and/or Saint Louis), I think we can all agree the Chicago Cubs and Bears suck as bad as Rebecca Black.

My weekend is underway with an oyster basket from the neighborhood fish market.

 

There are some logistic problems at the moment. But you are very welcome to join in anytime!

This fresh and fast service from Uiltje comes in batches of 12 cans. Makes a nice stash indeed. Fresh beer like this is rather unique around here.

Joined the program just for a couple of months since we went into a 'intelligent lock down' here in NL. Always someone home to take the package and also some more drinking at home (taprooms are still closed).

Cheers!
