What beer are you drinking now? #3052

No fish pics? ahhhhh mannnn...

 

Yes, but I had a great visit with our mutual friend.

 

Home Skillet Black IPA at Oskar Blues Tasty Weasel. A style I haven't had in a spell that faded into obscurity. This is a strange one smelling like burnt pancakes with cheap maple syrup. The taste is just the same with a hint of earthy floral in the finish. While not terrible I see myself struggling with a pint. There's just too much going on for me. I took one for the team with 100% of the sales today going to help the family of a decreased friend of the brewery.

 

Afternoon beer.

 

Another old world / new world matchup. Andechs Vollbier Hell vs Schilling Paulus Helles. Both tip the scales at 4.8% abv. Andechs is slightly lighter and clearer. Andechs has aroma of grain (homebrewers who mill their own know this smell) while Schilling is has a slightly more sweet aroma. Taste follows the nose, with a slightly more grainy flavor with the Andechs. Paulus has a slightly fuller mouthfeel, but is very drinkable. While I very slightly prefer Andechs (perhaps more if I could get it as fresh?) I think these two are very evenly matched.



Looks like it's more Entombed on this rainy Saturday

 

I have some interesting information to share with you from my visit today. I will hit you up privately.

 

This is another excellent NEIPA from this young brewery.

 

Spent my morning driving around delivering girl scout cookies to coworkers. So interesting to see them after nearly a whole fucking year of working from home.


Rye Times, a hazy rye IPA from Fremont. Pretty nice, interesting juxtaposition of tropical fruit and rye grain.

 

The skies cleared up, the snow is melting, errands done, and now it’s time to enjoy a Trees of Green DIPA from Conclave, one of my favorite NJ breweries. Cheers!

 

Technically not violating my own no-crossover-post from NBW because I'm on my 2nd can! But I should have taken the imitative to take a new photo. Oh well.
Pineapple aroma blast with a West Coast taste. Loving it so much I'm leaving other tempting beers in the fridge.

 

Afternoon BA's. Brutal Beerworks The Internet Always Wins. A TIPA that's as easy as a Ricky triple.

 

Batsquatch by Rogue. Cheers!

 

It's great to have a beer outdoors for a change. Citra and Motueka is a great combination and Untied Brewing has brought out their best in this NEIPA. I just reviewed it on the NBW thread. Have a great Saturday, everyone!

 

Foam x Equilibrium - Cojito DIPA (with lime, mint and coconut)

I would have loved if this beer was in regular production/rotation. It's just so tasty.

 

Diabetes in a picture?

 

Another thanks to @Bhubbard34 (this is my go to guy) always a pleasure to deal with and great communication.
