What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #3517

Morning Advocates........

Hitting the spot after a nice morning hike

 

3 Monts. From the French part of Flanders.

Last one from my stash. @Shanex I will quit stalking you with tis beer, for the time being Saw it in a Belgian supermarket too this weekend (bombers). Already had two six packs of West Vleteren #12 on me. Gave away 4 from the Stella six pack. I never could have imagined bringing Stella Artois home from Belgium by the way.
Cheers all




This is about 1/12 of the beers available in a not oversized supermarket in Belgium (Ieper).

 

Time for a little lunch and a beer.



Cheers BA guys and gals.

Other Half Brewing Company

 

Hot humid and sunny…lunch break with a cold DDH Sungazer:



I’ve been fixing sprinkler heads and moving plants all morning so I’m ready for a break. Cheers y’all and have a terrific Tuesday!

 

Drinking Houblon Chouffe. That's a pile of vines I pulled yesterday

 

Sungazer - Double Dry-Hopped
Charles Towne Fermentory

 

This beer rocks, and a lot of lacing!

 

Trying to stay in the shade as much as possible - Guayabera:



it's 86° in the shade…the feels like is 91°…at least there’s a little breeze…Cheers!

 

Warsteiner. With a simple meal of canned Frankfurters sausages. But there is sauerkraut too.
Awesome and cheap vegetable by the way. I believe I saved a lot of my student buddies (and myself) from scurvy by serving sauerkraut now and then. But that was ages ago. Sauerkraut pairs very well with beer too.
Cheers

 

Cheers Beer Fam!

Just got back from the voting polls. And it was a bit nerve wracking. This really calmed down the nerves.

Russian River Brewing “Pliny The Elder,” DIPA. Also loving my glass.

 

Good to know! I keep you posted then.

It is indeed still mostly Belgian beer what you see in the shops and supermarkets. But it is a big lot of beer in most places. Traditional breweries are coming up with more different beers now I believe.
Difficult market for so called 'craft beer'. Imagine a hipster IPA can priced at 9,95 where you can get a six-pack of Orval for the same price (or less). Best before date can be an issue maybe. IPA's turn bad soon. Most classic Belgians last a very long time (can be in the shop too).

 

Terrapin Wake n Bake (coffee oatmeal stout) Maple Pecan Praline variant

 

Last of my drink fresh Winter beers, still going strong.

Fat Head's Head Hunter



Haven't find a convenient retailer near the South Shore line, but will keep looking. Hope to hit the source within the next year.

 

Good evening to all Advocates,
I am drinking a beer I have never tasted before which is driving me crazy, although this is not quite the style the brewery is known for...

Bibibir (Abruzzo, ITA) - PACIFIC IPA - India Pale Ale (6,2%)

33 cl can (5 €) - On the label: "To be consumed preferably by the end of: 08/2022".
Freshly uncorked tropical scents, which expand once poured: passion fruit, mango, melon.
When poured it is a deep blond, slightly hazy / not completely transparent.
Medium foam, but very light in consistency.
In the mouth there is a fragrant taste of tropical and summer fruit salad: especially melon and passion fruit, in the background aromas reminiscent of pineapple and yellow peach.
The drink is easy but very tasty with a finish that leaves the stage to fruity notes both on the tongue and on the palate, without there being a significant bittering contribution.
Beer that I drink for the first time but that, as for the TUKA (NEIPA, but that I would call JUICY IPA) by Birra dell'Eremo in 2020, I have already understood that it will be one of my "safe" choices for this summer's drinking.
It lacks a bit of bitterness to make the drink even more gratifying for my tastes, but overall it really satisfied me, especially for the intensity of the flavors (evidently it is very fresh), although this is not a "typical" style of Bibibir, which is especially strong on Belgian school styles (blanche, tripel, quadrupel, etc.).
Very good !
I think many of you would like it too!





Sláinte !
Cheers !

 

This is an excellent afternoon beer ...
