What beer are you drinking now? #3007

Good Wednesday everyone. Felt like a little orange juice to start the day.

 

Good morning BA
Today is day 13 of dry January and I just finished a shift of four overnights. Usually this would call for a high proof celebration, but today I'm just dusting off a seldom used stein and drinking a fair NA beer.

Cheers all and enjoy your Wednesday!

 

Good day BAs and thanks @Shanex for kicking off today's thread! This morning's New Breakfast Beer:



Very nice DIPA - rating 4, rDev -2%. Nicely malted.

 

Wait . . . what? Julius in bottles?

 

It feels like a weekend because the nhl is back tonight! Go flyers, do it for gritty!

 

Conshohocken Brewing
Oats Magoats
Oatmeal Stout. 5.7% abv
Conshohocken, PA

Deep brown. Tan head. Smells of cherry pit, mud, coffee grounds, charred malts. Flavors of cherry, stone, dirt, black coffee. Moderate acidity. Dark fruits. The feel is acidic, thin side of medium. Overall a pretty ok oatmeal stout I only drank a little less than half. Not that a beer NEEDS to be remarkable but this one is unremarkable and has a higher than average dark fruit/ berry acidity to it than I prefer in the style. A bummer for me given that this brewery does English styles so well. If you enjoy red berry in stouts then you’d enjoy this.




italian wedding soup. From scratch meatballs n everything. Didn’t have Pepe macaroni so I used elbows.

This is my first "Hazy Little Thing IPA" ever and I like it.
Prost!

 

this is one of my favorite ones actually!

 

Finishing up the Lake Effect Fernet BA Imperial Milk Stout bomber from yesterday. 14 oz today, the wine stopper worked over 24 hours.



55 more years of savoring beer planned on my end, Chicago's Very Own Vyto B, circa the Bicentennial.

 

Great Song !

 

Thank you! Those are among my "greatest hits" bottles in my possession, ordered by brewery from West to East. I don't have additional bottles or cans beyond the ones presented.

While I do enjoying having a beer or two each day at home during the past year, and the geographical and beer style diversity of brewers and regions available in Chicago, I hope to be able to resume traveling domestically this Spring or Summer, and one day visit Europe and New Zealand/Australia within the next few years.

 

Alvarado Street back with another Motor Oil release. This is really good, being more like a Imperial Stout and not a Pastry Stout. Not sweet, but manages to highlight Maple and the Pecan flavors.

 

Have a good Wednesday. More work for a quick night and got off at 6AM. I slept all afternoon from 3-work at 10PM. I had a good meal at work after 36 hours of no food hahaha. It was great. I put BBQ on the cold cuts. Did a few more engineering applications this morning. Seems like more recent ones are actually responding back with all denials, better than nothing I suppose.


Loved these pork rinds too. Great pepper complexity and restrained heat. I'll get another bag. Underrated snack imo.


So I was thinking about opening a beer for 4 hours now, I don't have the same obsession with alcohol as I once did for 6 years from 2014-2020.

Redd's Sour apple review. Great stuff. Aromas and flavors of big juicy green apples, ripe fruit peel, citrus, grain, white sugar syrup, caramel and herbal/grassy earthiness. Touch of alcohol booze in the aromas as it warms, but not overwhelming. Light herbal/grassy bitterness and alcohol spiciness on the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Medium-plus carbonation and body; with a very smooth and lightly creamy/syrupy/sticky mouthfeel. Fairly refreshing for the ABV. Mild increasing warmth of 8% after the finish. Yes I really like these for what they are. 4.05


Cheers

I listened to Spotify Obscura artist radio all night. With a Beyond Creation album mixed in. I found this one today. Amazing prog power metal. It has Hannes Grossmann on drums, Christian Munzner and Phil Tougas on guitars. Mike LePond on bass, who has been with Symphony X for 22 years. Had no idea who he was at first, but now I know.

 

As good as any NEIPA you can get

 

Bronx Brewery World Gone Hazy.




This is a good one.
