What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #3735

Thank you for sharing these wonderful shots! Tasty beers and lovely views. Sounds like you are enjoying yourselves out there. Makes me thirsty for a cold one but alas it's only 7:30am.

 

I was supposed to be taking off shortly to LAX, but Pete Buttigieg’s FAA seems to have issues operating a computer system.

Wish they had a @LarryV or two on staff to, I don’t know, suggest they maintain a backup system, have security systems in place to avoid hacking, and/or help them rectify this issue.

 

They're not really releasing the details of what the actual problem is - but you would think they would have some sort of redundancy in place to prevent something like this. Hard to comment on without more specific details.

 

Good day BAs! Thanks @AzfromOz for starting the thread and sharing shots from your summer vacation! Here it's 25 F (- 4 C) and cloudy, so no deciduous plants in bloom (bummer!) but also no snow (YAAAA!) Today's New Breakfast Beer is from @Whyteboar anf BIF #16:



If you're holding one of these, let it warm to 60 degrees F before you drink it - everything depends on the higher temperature to bring out the subtleties in flavor and appearance - delicious when warmer! Thanks, Craig, for this delicious brew! Rating 3.99, rDev -2.7%

 

Good day BAs! Chilly walk (48°) earlier, usual chores done, it’s coffee time - FBS:



Bottled 12/02/22. Poured at 52°. Quiet morning/day lined up. I’ll probably be back later…Cheers and have a great day y’all!

 

Sitting on my patio with a second cup of Joe - KBS:



Bottled 9/13/22. Poured at 53°. The outside temp has risen to 58°. It is a bright sunny day that should not get above the high 60s. I’m on laundry duty and otherwise taking it easy. Cheers!

 

G'day all!

It's snowing again in Casper and not that much of the 16" from last week melted.

Prost!

 

Avec les Bons Voeux de la Brasserie Dupont.
Cheers

 

Enjoying this very nice old ale from Motorworks.

 

Nothing but the best for me today.

 

is that a cuvée of jager and high life??!?

 

Yeah... but only if you want to get all fancy about it.

 

that’s bad ass! does it work? the combination of the 2?

it’s crazy because last week while visiting my brother he asked if i ever threw a little beer in my mixed drinks, but i don’t drink many mixed drinks. he asked if i ever put a little guinness extra stout in my white russians, to which i said “no.” he said he’s been enjoying vodka sodas lately and will pour a little bit of rolling rock in them. anyways, very interesting to me. cheers!!

 

The Kukko dark lager.

 

My answer might surprise you. It's delicious to me... but I like such things. It's not as strange as it might appear. In Europe (particularly France), there is a custom of adding bitter liqueur to beer. This is most famously done with a more citrus leaning liqueur than a herbal one though - Picon Biere. Have you had this @Shanex ? Amer Picon was (or still is?) famously unavailable in the US amongst cocktail enthusiasts, and people always looked for substitutes. I had beer served like this in southern France. The other day I realized that I've never had Jager (which you can consider a cousin of typically used spirits) in a beer, and I knew I needed to try it. I would think that normally such a thing would be served in a US bar like a boilermaker with a depth charge. I considered my drink today as an average US bar spin on a Picon Biere.

 

Good evening BA!

Drinking a fine Pilsner, nothing special but a pretty good beer..



Prost!

 

Bell's - Hazy Hearted IPA (can).. cheers!
