What beer are you drinking now? #2880

Much love, but I’m sorry, I don’t think it’s appropriate to start a new thread just because it’s past midnight. Here I am in California, just like you, but I am still thinking about my failures of the day. It’s not Tuesday yet.

Cheers (halfway through my Yeti):

 

I’m Raul. Live and let live:

Club Raul now:

 

Another Pacifico if you please:

Club Raul all night. Come on, can you feel it?

 

Have a good Tuesday. I got home last night from Fishers Indiana at 1045PM. @hbbeeremptor I went through that whole album on the drive home, plus 2 Haken Albums. The previous obsession with having to buy beer before leaving the state, but now can just leave really shows how far I have come with my alcoholism, and also my obsessive nature about trying every beer known to man. Taking the slower road on reviews now. Got a solid handful to keep me busy for a bit.

Any way I went to chill with my buddy Mitch downstairs for a bit after I got home. He got a PS4 from his GF last week. Returned to the lair and "chilled out" and listening to music still. Went through about 4 games of chess with another buddy I have from middle school. Funny how some friendships reform in adulthood. Had fun for the 2 weeks in Indiana meeting old college friends; and my roomie from back then and his family. We played at least 10 hours of remote play together games at his house on our laptops, which were streamed from his gaming rig in the bedroom. Bossgard, Uncooked, God's Trigger, and Trine.

I am going to start Parks and Rec from the beginning on Netflix now. I remember enjoying it at one time.

Heretic Chocolate Hazelnut Porter. Excellent American porter. Lasting had retention/soapy lacing. Aromas and flavors of big milk chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, roasted hazelnut, biscuit, toast, brown bread/crust; with lighter notes of vanilla, dark fruit, wood, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy hop earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, woody, peppery, piney bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and fairly sticky/chalky mouthfeel. Slight lingering resins through the glass. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Awesome complexity of rich malts, hazelnuts; with nice earthy hop presence and mild fruity yeast. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. Spot on style example. Loved it. 4.03


Cheers

This is a sick track, kind of neoclassical riffage going on.

 

Thinking about firing up some The Outer Worlds now that I have my gaming computer again. I will make sure to set up remote desktop before I leave for Ohio this or next weekend. I can stream games from my desktop over the internet to my laptop if my computer is running. Unfortunately Steam crashed last week when I did it, but I will set up an app called Moonlight to use all my game launchers. My college roommate I stayed with over the weekend used it mainly and recommended it.

Amazing as always. We apparently got a new shipment locally for it. Might grab another pack. Of course the regular will do fine as always if I can't find it.


Cheers

 

By the book, yeah you can start at 12:00 PST, knock yourself out. I agree with Raul

Of course we've only been on this forum for 12-14 years what do we know. Also you
might want to use that like button every so often.

 

Back to the grind, pillaged village sounded appropriate. Earthy resin from the hops spoke powerfully. Cheers!

I thought this was appropriate before running the ole lawnmower.

 

Mornin' - no class this morning (Zoom office hours all afternoon) so a little Hair of the Affogato from OB
Lill surveys last night's panicked pre-frost harvest. Goddamn 2020.

 

I use midnight Hawaii time as my rule of thumb to start a thread if I'm up at that time (5 AM CST, 3 AM PST), between 4-5 CST if the previous thread is dead (hour plus).

Was able to score several bottles at $10 per during a COVID clearance sale in May, made two trips to grab several different varieties, and several aged Jester Kings (2015-2017), among other offerings for the same price. Can't wait to try.

Speaking of Cali time, clearing the fridge and came across this collaboration from two of my favorite San Diego brewers.

Alesmith & Modern Times Cosmic Omnibus



Likely won't see these again, but this aged well in the fridge, a bit more mellow and balanced. Really like it and great start to a rainy Tuesday in Chicago. Only stayed out a few minutes as it is cold and I want to avoid pulling out jeans for as long as possible (haven't worn since May).

 

Yep, you're thrilled. If I may ask, what are you looking at? Something between here and there?

 

Oktoberfest time of the year. Today it's Odell's turn, and I am enjoying it.
