    Greetings and happy Tuesday all!

    Pre-lunch beer today is Chimay brune and its red label. Always a reliable one, too.

    We bought this am a new furniture for our living room. Need more space, always.

    Waiting for considerably more snow to fall today. Cheers!

    This lager doesn't have that fruity hint as the one yesterday. Old faithful brand Karhu = bear. In a new design bottle though.

    Not an expert in NA beers but would you expect a fruity character in a lager? Personally I would perceive it as a flaw in a lager. I guess it depends on the type of fruit we're talking about. Thanks for sharing your NA experiences and the nice snow photos.

    Yes, I don't really know what it was. It was a domestic lager, must check if I can detect it again.

    And thanks!

    Good day BAs! Thanks @Shanex for starting today's thread with an old favorite I haven't seen around here in a long time! and @beer_beer, I guess yinz are comfortable with snow - for me winter is nastiest time of the year.

    Today's New Breakfast Beer comes from @Whyteboar and NBS BIF #16:

    What is a Finnish Stout? And when did Upper Hand become a subsidiary of Bell's? Do I have to be a Yooper to know these things? Anyway, rating 3.74, rDev -8.3%.

    Chimay again? I’m on a roll. The blue one this time and I’ll call it done drinking for today.

    Bottled 10/4/22. Poured at 54° straight out of my chiller. Tasty!

    Currently it is sunny and 66°. We may take the dogs to the Gulfport Tuesday Market for a walk about before it gets up into the high 70s today. Otherwise a pretty quiet morning. Cheers and have a terrific Tuesday y’all!

    First Celebration of the season. Usually get some bottles as soon as it's released and drink it at the beach in San Diego but I gotta admit It's tasting quite fresh down by the crick on a nice December day in Ohio. I'm enjoying it.

    I've been drinking Straub Lager lately and I've seen some reviews that say it has a hint of apple in the smell and taste. It's not sweet at all. It finishes a little dry but I do pick up the hint of apple. I'm no beer expert but I would say it comes from the yeast they use. I don't think it's a flaw. I really like it.

    Just out of curiosity how far is The Gulf of Finland from where you live? And, speaking of a bear, how far are you away from St. Petersburg? Nice roasty looking lager!

    I don't drink many IPAs lately but I still love the C hop flavor. I always like the old Centennial IPAs and the Cascade in SNPA. Not sure exactly what Chinook hops taste like but I like this combo in this Celebration beer. Still remember when I wouldn't buy this beer because the comments on BA said it had cinnamon and Nutmeg in it.

    The Gulf of Finland is very near, we are talking meters, not kilometers :slight_smile:. Checked how far from St. Petersburg we are, it's almost 400 kilometers, wonder what I would have guessed, maybe 300? The lager was very proper, no surprises :beers:

    Honestly, I'm not the biggest fan of winter myself, only ranking higher than late fall. Finnish stout, interesting...

    Haven't seen a Winter in 16 years. I'm Working in Punxsutawney area staying in Indiana PA. It's really nice over here. Still adjusting to the cold but I'm really liking it. Any beer recommendations out here in PA or Ohio? I'ma go check out Fat Heads on my day off.

    Our yard guy is done mowing, blowing, etc. It’s so nice outside that I’m having a second coffee on the patio - FBS:

    Mrs. Z is reading in bed, and we are collectively researching a Spring 2023 RV trip to Utah to visit the parks. Life is good, enjoy it while you can - Cheers y’all!
