What beer are you drinking now? #3190

Good afternoon/morning BAs! Thank you @Shanex for opening up today’s thread. Inclement weather forecast all day here in Beer City, USA. Some coffee before some RV chores - KBS:



Bottled 4/22/21. Poured at 54°. I’m going to try to hit several breweries today, transportation and weather depending…Cheers and have a a thirsty Thursday y’all!

 

Some local stuff before we move along.

 

Memphis Made Brewing Junt Cream Ale

Clear, clean yellow gold color with a small, quickly disappearing white cap.

Aroma of clean grain mixed with sweet malt. Little else save a touch of grassiness.

Full, round taste of grain with a noticeable sweetness. The grain flavors (I'm presuming there;s more than one grain or adjunct) are so well integrated I can't tell where malt stops and others start. Taste is simple but clean as a whistle with just enough hops to balance things out.

Full texture with a touch more carbonation than it needs. An more direct pour will fix that.

Easy, unassuming, unaggressive brew that won't challenge the palate and will go well with a variety of food styles. I'm thinking Thai for some reason.

 

The in-laws arrived yesterday for a visit. I get along quite well with them, so we should have a good visit.

 

The last of these Chicago Beers for Chicago J in my stash. I will pick up more down the road if offered.

Haymarket Chicago Tavern Beer (A Lager)


Sucks baseball doesn't resume until tomorrow for most of us. MLB should hold the futures game Sunday Evening (after all MLB games are gone) and hold the draft Wednesday and Thursday to assist fans going through 4 days detox from their local team.

A few great Chicago Bars:





Map Room

 

Yeah, heavy on the N/A rotation these days. Post 9 mile run with hills/intervals (ouch).
Untitled Art's Juicy.
Cheers!

 

Starting 11 days of vacation with a Dankful,,,,,,then out to lawn chores.

 

Lunch at Perrin Brewing Company - Tiki Tacos, and a Grapefruit IPA:



The tacos are pulled pork with a pineapple citrus salsa (Excellent!)…the IPA is ok…I have higher expectations for the bourbon barrel aged flight that is warmin’ in the wings:



Cheers y’all from Comstock Park, MI!

 

Bike ride and a beer.
Cheers....

 

Tree House Tree of Light

 

Hey BA's

Took a "mental health" day today - the gf is moving into her new house Saturday, so I just spent 5 hours this morning painting the last bedroom and touching up in closets etc.....fun stuff.....forecast is for heavy rain here Friday - Saturday (of course), should be fun times



I think I sweated out 5 lbs today already!

 

Good afternoon, all! I'm drinking this and you're not: Nacho Bait Habanero Blonde Ale, from Country Boy Brewing, Georgetown, KY. This is a really nice blonde ale with a spicy kick that lingers on the lips and the back of the throat. Paired with spicy chicken wings. In for a penny, in for a pound.

 

It’s flight time…from left to right:



Lil Griz oak aged brown ale; Malted Milk Ball (2020) aged in oak bourbon barrels; Perrin Reserve (2020) RIS aged in BB; No Rules (2019); No Rules (2020).

The No Rules rule! Can an Imperial Porter (15%) be decadent? Luscious bourbon, coconut, chocolate and mint; cafe con leche on back end. Multi layered flavors and delicious! Too bad they won’t sell growlers. Cheers y’all!

 

A Merciless Double IPA from our local brewery Kompaan (The Hague).
Cheers!
