What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #3468

cheers to the new thread. I'm stuck in vinoville but will join you when it is late night in your time zone. Assuming it is about 10 am where you are if in the UK

 

Good day BAs! Thanks @The_Kriek_Freak for starting today's thread! The UK has some wonderful pubs with great selections of cask beers - thanks for sharing local craft and please continue!

My New Breakfast Beer from the continuing inventory reduction program is:



Of course the cork was stuck so I had to use my cork removal tool to ease it out:



As I've mentioned previously, I'm a fan boy of Old Raspy, both the base beer and its iterations, but this was definitely a weaker version, perhaps because of the age. Here alcohol leads the flavor, not the flavor leading the alcohol. but what can I say - it's still an Old Raspy! Rating 4.16, rDev -2.3%.

 

Good morning BAs! Thank you @The_Kriek_Freak for kicking things off from Greece today. Verdant brewery is always on my buy list (if I can find it) when I travel abroad. Great beers!

Steamy 70° walk with dogs this morning…kitchen cleaned…hit me with another cup of “coffee” - KBS Hazelnut:



Bottled 1/27/22. Poured at 54° after sitting on counter for 15 minutes, out of the “beer” chiller. Still strong hazelnut nut nose. Nutty chocolate taste; coffee and bourbon not so much…Plenty of 4 pks on the shelves down here, I’d bet the $26.99 price tag holds most folks at bay…no OG or FBS on the shelves at 3 different locations yesterday…I may drive up to Seminole, FL today and see what I can find…

Have a terrific Tuesday y’all and Cheers!

 

Another “coffee” as I ease into my day…I believe this is my last FBS on hand:



Our yard mowing crew has come and gone this morning…hot work/glad it’s not me out there mowing. Dogs are in the backyard now. They only want a few minutes out, then back inside for which they will pine…the temp mid morning has ticked up to 76° with 86% humidity, our version of summer is beginning and will only get more humid and hotter…

Mrs. Z keeps our inside living space a cool (chilly for me) 70°…hence, Stout weather year ‘round! Cheers y’all!

 

Currently Chillwave by Great Lakes. Side note I encourage people in Northeast Ohio to give Unplugged Brewing a whirl. Pretty solid beers overall

 

Mid morning Bud while watching the Sun dry out and warm up the back yard.

 

I like to wait for a nice warm sunny spring day for my first Bell's Oberon of the year

 

Congratulations on your first WBAYDN thread @The_Kriek_Freak !

Another venture into my cellar, this time for a local stout.

Mikerphone Smells Like Bean Spirit



Just short of three years old. Held up well, especially for a coffee stout. Full review in the cellar review thread.

 

The pool is open and I'm ready for a swim. First, though, I want to finish painting the patio. Actually, before anything else, I want to enjoy this beer.

 

Well, it's snowing in northern New York so, why not drink a winter warmer?

Harpoon Winter Warmer.

 

Hey BA's

Snowing in NE OH as well - man, this has been a cold and wet spring! Emma and I did our morning hike anyway, and got snowed on...supposed to be mid-60's Thursday and 80 by the weekend, so....bye bye snowy shit!

 

R. Shea - Dessert List "Coconut Macaroon Pastry Milk Stout" (16oz can).. cheers!

 

Skulls and Femurs American pils 5% - Odd Muse
Starting today off with a crisp refreshing lager. I have a nice beer line up for today. Cheers y'all!

 

MC² DIPA 8% - Equilibrium
MC² was my first NEIPA. I was hooked from the get go. I guess that's why I will always have a soft spot for Equilibrium brews. Cheers y'all!

 

Today's cool, wet weather put me in the mood for some Porter. Delicious decision to start.

Figure I'll pregame a couple before heading over to parents' retirement place to rack 'em up in the billiards room with my Dad before dinner at their Bistro this evening.

Stoneface - American Porter

 

Having a Stella for a palate cleanser. Cheers y'all!
