What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #3548

Hello Advocates! Thanks @barneyrubble for todays thread. Nice to be here and thank goodness for beer! Was sippin' a brew the other night with a buddy and I used the phrase "...back in the good old days." He stopped, looked squarely at me and said "Man, these are the good old days." I have to agree. Fat Head's Wet Hopped Head Hunter IPA right outa the can. Cheers!

Hey @Shanex here's one of my pencil doodling sheets. I wanna draw a lake shore scene at some point but I have to keep painting songs on the drums! Ha!

 

Nice!

 

Just got my shipment earlier, direct from the Brewery, and enjoying one now!



Cheers!

 

Oooo. There's a few things on that paper that work well when minimized/jpeg...Cheers!

 

The Beer-Spill. Fresh hazy IPA from Uiltje.
Cheers

 

An epic tasting about to commence... Heady, Focal and Rapture.

 

Lunch is grilled chicken, creamed spinach, potato salad and a 60 minute......

 

Working until 12 on Fridays drastically improving quality of life, as does beer. Couple original beers at the home team. Fresh: citra and Columbus, and a brown ale they almost never make any more. Cheers!

 

I spent three weeks in Australia in 1999.My mission was to search for wine brands and to meet current suppliers and tour their vineyards and facilities. I spent most of my time in South Australia and West Australia, but also The Hunter Valley in New South Wales and visited the beautiful city of Victoria. I loved The Clare Valley in way north South Australia and the wine region south of Perth in West Australia. At a park at the far southwest corner of Australia, up very high, one can look west towards Africa, north towards India, and south towards Antarctica. Nothing but vast blue ocean. This is the territory of continents- including Australia- and it is truly magnificent! If I had been 15 years younger I might have never left... It was a great journey.

 

Ending our week in the Bahamas. Beautiful place with lots to do but my wallet is ready to GTFO. Cheers!

 

Most vacations tend to do that to everyone's wallet.

Enjoy the rest of your time there. Cheers.

 

Lunch and Lager . . .

 

Happy birthday to me! Starting of with Pliney today, wanted a fresh palate for it. Took will power to let it sit in my fridge for 3 days.

Cheers y'all!

@beergoot Thank you! I believe I'm enjoying this 1 more than the first 1 had so far.

Happy Birthday young man. Hope you have many, many more filled with beer, beer, and more beer.

Cheers

 

The Alchemist - Rapture

After completing my 2 missions to A) Have a beer from every US state, and B) To have a beer from every brewery in my must-try list (which included the likes of Cloudwater, Verdant, La Cumbre,, Monkish, Casey, etc), my next self-assigned mission has been to tick certain beers that I've wanted for some time. One of these major "wants" has been Rupture from The Alchemist. Not an easy beer to get hold of, as it's only released on the third Thursday of each month and only sold in Stowe (or so I was told). Thanks to @thebeers 's infinite generosity, I finally got to try it.

The flavor profile is a lot closer to what one expects from a NEIPA (minus the bitterness, which thankfully is there) and it deviates considerably from the two flagships of Heady and Focal. The look is a lot hazier than the flagships and the aroma is made up of a nice mix of tropical and dank notes. Very inviting. While a lot of Alchemist IPA/DIPAs have a "signature" flavor, this one does not follow this trend and it displays an early sweetness with a bit of the nail polish remover that one associates with many NEIPAs these days.

A slow sipper for me. Glad I got to try it!

 

Happy birthday! And hoppy! Hope!
