What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #3294

Savanna River Hammer Of The Hops.

 

Good morning BAs. Starting off my one and only day off from work with an espresso:



Flying Fish Caramel Espresso Porter. Aroma and taste is malty with strong coffee flavor and a nice hint of caramel. It's very tasty and while I'm glad it's not a sugery dessert beer, it could use a tad more sweetness to better balance out the espresso bitterness.
Cheers!

 

Drinking Sierra Nevada Northern Hemisphere Wet Hopped IPA. I've been craving this one
since last week when I bought it, Seems like a while since I've had hops

 

Perfect pour as usual.

 

A really nice RIS from Real Ale at 9.8% abv. A generous, frothy tan head dissipates slowly to a creamy cap and leaves nice lacing behind. Aroma is toasty, dark dried fruits. The taste carries this as well as some really nice bitter dark chocolate. Creamy smooth.

Cheers Y'all

 

Wormtown Fresh Patch Pumpkin Ale, 4.5%, a light but very tasty pumpkin pie flavor!

 

Now THIS is how you do a banana stout!

 

Good afternoon BAs! I took a couple days off from drinking…now drinking a Jai Alai at the condo while I do some chores:



Cheers y’all!

 

Night Shift Whirlpool pale ale, 4.5% - woo hoo, what a flavor at a dollar a can!

You know when you take that first slurp of foam off the top of some classic west coast IPA and you get hit with a face full of weedy fresh hops? That's Whirlpool for you, only lighter. Oh man, that's the stuff!

 

Drinking from the bottle, though not the heavy stuff.

New Glarus Kid Kolsch



This first 1976 tune goes out to @mickyge to celebrate the Orleans opening act he enjoyed back in the day, after his stint as head coach of the Green Bay Packers.



And a second featuring another wonderful singer from the same year.

 

Good day Advocates! Thanks again @Ozzylizard for today's thread. Had to work last night and have a 3 hr beer-fueled band rehearsal tonite. I'm trying to convince one band member to join BA. He always brings some new juice to the sessions (always MN made brews) and he knows how to break down some aspects of each one/why he likes or dislikes it. I'll keep enticing him. So today is chill with some last bits of winterizing, wrapping up all garden things, shutting off the water spigots, etc. Perfect beer work and weather! Looking VERY forward to returning from SO DAK with a beer lode deluxe. The previous trip was successful.
Summit Triumphant right now. Going outside with the sippy cup. Cheers! Keep on smiling!


My office last night:

 

Ommegang Rye Barrel Vanilla stout

 

This is the last of my Oktoberfest biers for the year, this was a bit of a disappointment. Oh well.

 

Cheers BA!

 

Good Afternoon BA's. A lovely day in WNC with temps in the mid-60's and sunny. Da Boss and i had to endure howling winds the last two days and nights that have finally gone away.
Today's first choice is Greybeard IPA from Pisgah Brewing up the road in Black Mountain, NC. Reminds me of the old school 90's IPA's which the mantra for some was how bitter can we make this beer. Primary hopping was Nugget and it came across very woody and piney with a touch of grapefruit. This was a big departure from the sweeter tropical and citrus brews that is most often available but it was a nice change of pace!
Cheers,
Tom
