What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #3090

Pieces of 8

 

I'm at home cooking Greek style chicken on the grill in a 82 Farenheit, bright sunny day, is Spring over already? It would seem Summer is here.
I'm drinking a Edward Teach Black Spot Lager, one of the best Schwarzbiers that I think I've ever had. Malty like a good Stout, refreshing with a very clean finish.
Excellent for the style.
Cheers!

 

Yup, just plated it!

 

I really should get that cholesterol test done

I must be getting old. Just one hour of working in the yard and I was beat. This lager brewed by Kona is very refreshing.

Got some goodies to enjoy this Saturday for the online tasting in honor of @scream. His favorite beer and the bourbon he busted my chops over. I know I will be tempted to crack into one or both before Saturday.

“resinous hops reminiscent of stone fruit with a spicy finish”

this is true. One of my favorite NJ ipas. This one is tough. It runs a bit hot. But I like a lot and if I may be so inclined to share an article I wrote about this beer you can find it here ....

I used to dabble you know. If that’s ok with the mods. I know osgood and Ron also dabble so. It’s old. I don’t benefit off it. Just a share. But lmk if I did well.

Nicely chilled always works depending on the temperature, which would be about what in your neck of Mississippi this time of year?

 

Cask box is slightly better that the can, cheers!

 

Thanks! It was a short trip across the backroads. So much cool stuff you never see from an interstate

 

Best outcome cheers!

 

We got lucky all around today. I think this one may have turned out the best precisely because of those clouds. Cheers!

 

Haha right! We lived in Mexico for awhile so we're always obsessed with cool stuff like this

 

Cheers to new beers!

Winners:

1) Harp Lager: This one has an authentic malt flavor and finishes smooth.

3&4) Moon Man Pale Ale: First time one this one, but it has traditional west-coast flavors. Not sure it beats Sierra Nevada, but comparable.

6) Summit Extra Pale Ale: This English Pale has such smooth and malty orange, caramel, and dank flavors while drinking incredibly smooth. Celebration isn't worse, but a different beer.

Have you tried New Glarus Moon Man and do you think it is a good pale ale? As good as Sierra Nevada Pale Ale?
Do you think English Pale Ales such as Summit EPA are a good style and should more breweries make more of them?

 

More robot dreams it is. I like the Paul Simon song called "America".
