What beer are you drinking now? #3152

Hi Shanex. Just curious. Are the Lagunitas' and Sierra Nevadas that you get in France brewed in CA, or in Illinois and North Carolina, respectively?

 

Shanex,

On your Lagunitas bottle, there should be a code near the neck.

The first three numbers are the Julian date (hopefully between 1 and 150).

After a space a single number indicates the year (hopefully a 1 for 2021).

The next single number is their brewery (1 = Petaluma, CA & 2 = Chicago, ILL)

On the second line, the first four digits are the batch # and last four the military time.

Sierra Nevada is easier to read and decipher. M = Mills River, C = Chico

Sadly, Lagunitas’ taproom here hasn’t reopened to the public, one of only a few in Chicago, and they may not until 2022. It’s a fun place to visit.

 

Good day BAS! Thanks, @Shanex, for starting today's thread! Off to an overcast start to the day - looks like the TX rain may have followed me home. Today's New Breakfast Beer did follow me:



Decent malty IPA - rating 3.68, rDev +10.8%.

And yesterday's New Breakfast Beer, which somehow didn't get posted:



One I would REALLY like to try fresh, rating 3.68, rDev -11.3%.

 

Starting this hot day with this tasty DDH NEDIPA. Cheers all.

 

Good morning BAs! Up early getting stuff done...now it’s coffee time - KBS:



Bottled 2/3/21. Poured at 53°. Bitter roast coffee, char, bittersweet dark chocolate and bourbon on the backend. Delish! I’m glad to be home, although at 9am it’s already 80° with 75% humidity, and it’s only going to get hotter. Cheers and have a great day y’all!

 

New roof day!

 

I am going to watch Oslo!

 

Being productive around the house today and getting rather thirsty. Good crusher of a NEDIPA right here.

 

Morning...
Camp breakfast beer.

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. After an almost full day online conference.
Cheers all!

 

Central Waters Scotch Ale Brewer's Reserve.

 

Kicking off Monday with Sweet Tarts, a Maine Blueberry Sour Ale from Peak Organic Brewing. It hits on the promised blueberry and tartness, but there's nothing else going on. I rated it 3.54 which is just a tick below it's BA average of 3.67.

 

For who is interested, this is how we get Sierra Nevada in NW Europe. It is imported via Ireland and finds its way to France, NL an other countries from there without worries about borders.

Date at the bottom must be a best before date. Could not find a canning date on this.

Cheers!

 

In my glass now is Workhorse Cranberry Wheat. A really nice fruited wheat beer with some tartness. Wifey really likes this one.

 

You must have been reading my mind. I was going to post the SN Pale Ale I'm drinking now and point out that your can is the draught version, which as far as I know is only available on draught in this country. We get the bottle and can conditioned product, apparently France gets the bottle conditioned version as well. Draught is 5% ABV, bottle conditioned is 5.6% ABV
