Happy Tuesday Advocates

Nothing like a bright crispy ass pilz to brighten up this dull Tuesday:

Cheers!

 

1) BlackStack DDH Loud 755 (7.55% no canning date): A NEIPA from Minnesota with Citra, Azacca, Galaxy, Amarillo, Mosaic & El Dorado for flavors of zesty orange and lime citrus, orange juice, and green apple.
versus
2) Phase 3 Unchecked Imagination (7.8% canned 10/31/22): A NEIPA from Chicago with Citra & Motueka for flavors of orange citrus, zesty lime, juicy w/ mild grassy bitterness, and sweet apple. (Correctly matched both blind)

Winner:
2) Phase 3 Unchecked Imagination:
BlackStack combined two of their favorite NEIPAs for this one. Some zesty orange juice, lime, and juicy green apple flavors.
Phase 3 take it home here. Tons of tropical pineapple, green melon, and sweet apple. Incredibly smooth and creamy. Phase 3 has become among the top Chicago breweries for IPAs and they're still growing on me.

 

Beer, book, and courtyard time with the pupper. Saint Arnold Amber in the glass. Still working my way through this great book by Orhan Pamuk.



Moe says HI to everyone

 

G'day all!

Cold and snowing again in Casper.
I'm enjoying another Crowler from Mountain Hops Brewhouse. A straight up Stout.

Prost!

 

Is this the setup you thought I'd have earlier to celebrate our Cowboys win? @The_Kriek_Freak

Cheers y'all!

White Elm ¡Cocorrado! BBA imperial Stout, 13% ABV. Pours black with a one-finger light-brown head that dissipated quickly and left no lacing. Nose is strong coconut, chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla, and light bourbon. Taste follows plus faint pepper burn, bourbon stronger, moderate sweetness, slight bitterness, lingering coconut taste. Decent smooth mouthfeel, overall outstanding. I'm not usually a coconut fan, but this is good.

4.31/5 rDev 0%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

We had an ideal winter day, sun, light wind, temp in the upper 20's, so some snow/ice melting today. Unfortunately we have the next storm hitting mid-day tomorrow, looks like 6+ inches. Luckily just fixed the snowblower, hope it holds out until I get a new one.

 

Hey beer peeps

Back from my trip north - another boat enters the "Boathaus" stable.....these great deals just seem to find me, what can I do?

Another new brew as well.....this one a rather flat shandy (lemon ginger) from BrewDog, that was brewed in association with Pelotonia, to raise funds for cancer research etc



the new addition - called a "Cats Paw Dinghy" - just under 13 ft long, with simple sprit sail rig, also can be rowed etc....guy I just bought it from was a preofessional boat builder....will not need much work really in the spring - glued lapstrake construction...he threw in 2 books, the original plans from WoodenBoat magazine (which cost $60), tons of hardware, oars, and anchor, 3 life vests etc







hell, the sail alone or the trailer are worth more than I paid for the whole outfit....score!!

 

The sun is setting…a beer on the patio before I feed the dogs:



Cheers and have a great night y’all!

 

That is much better!

 

Always a great way to kick off a Tuesday. Cheers all.

 

Nice score indeed! Looks like a cool boat,

 

Damn fine Imperial Black IPA right here!!
Cheers!!!

 

Next up is a Turbulence NEIPA from Swamp HEAD Brewing. Heading out to grill a small piece of sockeye salmon before long.

 

Hello Moe

 

Cheers BA! Keeping it simple at the moment.

 

Time to fire up the clippers and cut my hair back. ZG Conehead IPA. Final can of it... Chip chop this chimp. Cheers!!

 

Shower beer, Crispy boi lager

 

I agree, though I haven't had the Third Space. I preferred Morning Ritual over FBS. As you said, the coffee doesn't steal the show, which is the problem with many coffee stouts.

 

My bad!

If we win next week I'll have something lined up for a win. If we lose I'll still be drinking it..
