Tonight’s Blind Battle Beer Tasting Lineup:

1) Revolution Oktoberfest (5.7%): An Oktoberfest Märzen from Chicago with flavors of pale bread malt, earthy honey, lightly floral and a balanced body.
versus
2) Millstream Oktoberfest (5.9%): An Oktoberfest Märzen from Iowa with flavors of earthy baked bread malt, glazed honey, and a light caramel finish. Tons of flavor and mildly sweet.
versus
3) 3 Sheeps Oktoberfest (5.5%): An Oktoberfest Märzen from Wisconsin for flavors of baked bread, bread spice, pepper, and a dark, sweet body.
(mismatched #2 and #3 blind)

4) Junkyard Royale with Cheese (8.0% canned 7/22): A NEIPA from Minnesota with Citra & Mosaic for flavors of citrus, citrus rind, pineapple, and some dank tropical notes. Balanced.
versus
5) Drekker 2 Right Eyes (8.3% canned 9/20/22): A NEIPA from North Dakota with Citra & Mosaic for flavors of apricot, pineapple, kiwi, melon, and tons of ripe berry flavors. Drinks sweet. (both correctly matched blind)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Winners:

2) Millstream Oktoberfest: All 3 of these are so great in their own regard. Revolution is the most drinkable with pale malt smoothness. 3 Sheeps has a peppery bread spice flavor and amber malt that is delicious. First time at Millstream. It has a smooth honey-glazed and baked bread flavor. Probably one of the most aromatic and flavorful Oktoberfest Marzens I've tried. Highly rated on BeerAdvocate for a reason.

5) Drekker 2 Right Eyes: Pretty darn good. So much variety in what Citra and Mosaic can do. This one has a ton of ripe blueberry with a slight complexity from apricot and kiwi. Dank, sweet, and "Ripe" would be a good way to describe this one.

 

Back from Denver last Monday. Bought this and some other faves. Got Covidized the next day. Recovery. Beer.

 

That’s almost the same thing my wife says “ Mike the more wine I drink the better you look” Cheers

 

that DFH went down quick cuz it's my fav

Twin Elephant Squints. This is a local brewery whose best style i've always thought is Saison.

This one...not so much. not sure if being a 'summer saison' changes what it's supposed to be, who knows. oh well, it's not terrible

 

Actually starting my Friday follies at a decent hour this week. This beer right here is worth seeking out, one of the best D-IPA's I've had from Dewey so far.



And speaking of "dipas". This one is for all you fellow college basketball fans:

Well, evidently I'm not able to post shorts from YouTube. Here's the gist of it:



TGIF! !!

 

I really love this beer and when I see it sitting on a hand truck next to the entrance with the invoice still on it I'm gonna jump right on that.

 

Canned Heat Super Fire ..

 

Mrs. Z vetoed pool day…she was anxious to come home…so we packed up everything and I drove the dogs home in the RV…after 4 1/2 hours of taking the backroads, I’m drinking a Freak of Nature DIPA;



Mrs. Z stayed behind to shop…she says she’s driving home tonight. I’ll get started on un-hurricane proofing the house and yard, both unscathed by Ian. Cheers from St. Petersburg FL!

 

Firestone Walker Parabajava (2019)

Great way to start a rainy, cool weekend. Coffee, dark chocolate, smooth bourbon on the way as it warms. This is great. Cheers!

 

Things escalated quickly over here. 4 Hands Thank You Imperial Stout. It was aged in a blend of bourbon, rum, and cherry and peach brandy barrels. It was sealed in wax, but thankfully they had a pull tab that it easy to remove the wax around the top for easy opening. This one is a bit complicated and I think it’s improving as it warms.

 

The evils of beer.....taken 10/18/1972 at my baby brothers 18th making me 22y+18d......hardly a day went by without a beer in my hand, (but I did have a smoke.......and hair), and enjoyed most............

........so I offer this as proof, 50 years of beer drinking makes you handsomer.....

......enjoy what's in yer glass.....and fills yer ears......
