What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #3772

Here's another greeting from the northern hemisphere.
Today the working day started very early due to work to be done away, so now a little break at home and then back to the office after lunch.
So from the fridge I took something quick and undemanding:

LAGUNITAS IPA (6.2%) produced by Heineken (Amsterdam, NED)

For my taste, more than decent NOT craft beer produced and distributed by Heineken in Holland, "under the supervision of Lagunitas Brewing Company (California, USA)", as reported on the label.
What a splendid lie!
Always on the label: "Best before: 08/25/2023".
It's in fairly good shape and seems quite fresh to me, even if I have tasted more fragrant ones.
For €2.75 in the supermarket it can be used as a drink that is not at all demanding.
The intensity of the final bitterness, more marked than products intended for mass consumption, is the element that makes me choose it over even more anonymous offers.




Sláinte !
Cheers !

 

And now reporting in from the Eastern North American out post of early beer advocate network is RG working on whims. Cheers all

 

Good day BAs! Thanks @AzfromOz for starting us off, and to @Shanex and @Jack_14 for getting the EuroBAs represented!
"Produced and distributed by Heineken in Holland, "under the supervision of Lagunitas Brewing Company (California, USA)" - thanks for the warning - I'll make sure to avoid it next month when I'm sucking down that good German beer on location in Bavaria!

Right on the cusp of rain/sleet/snow this morning (31F/-1C) - driveway was wet and starting to get glassy when I got the paper an hour ago. But consequently, today's New Breakfast Beer - an alleged "winter warmer":



Little malt and weak, mixed spices. Rating 3.37, rDev -5.3 (First review, second rating)

The brewer is located in Kane, PA, about an hour up the road. They're in the a remaining chunk of boreal forest and frequently have the lowest temperatures of any town in PA.

 

TGIF! Haven't had a morning beer in a while so here it is. 1 of my favorite.

Cheers y'all!

Ayinger Bavarian Pils

 

Fireplace. West coast IPA from Salikatt Bryggeri (Norway).
Still winter here. I better make myself comfortable near the open fireplace downstairs.
Cheers

 

G'day all!

Sadly, my last Celebration.
But, I DID pick up some more Bigfoot.

Prost!

 

Happy Friday BA's

Did a very chilly 1.6 mile hike with Emma earlier - man, what a change in the weather!

Also picked up some Murphys Irish Stout - the older I get - I think I prefer this over Guinness!

 

Happy Friday BA's!

Today is my 10th year on BA, but I have only been really here since last year.
Not only do I learn about beer, learning about music here is an added bonus.

Allagash Coolship Resurgam 2018, spontaneously fermented ale aged in French oak wine barrels, 1-3 year old blend, really reminds me of Tilquin.



Cheers!

 

Checking back in, Cheers all!




Deep dark gray day and this tune came to mind. What a song and great memories....

 

Cheers!

 

Happy Friday BA's! One Lite and done for me, have about a 35 mile drive to Homosassa to pick up the 4Runner after the 10K service. I'll be back later with a beer.....

 

Cheers to the weekend advocates!

 

I might check back in later tonight, going to see Tim Hagans, who is an excellent trumpet player from Houston. He has a new quartet starting tonight, and my good friend Thomas Helton will be the bass player. Of coarse I'm biased but Helton is really one of the better bass players out there IMO. Hagans has had all kinds of accolades, Grammy's, done soundtracks for movies. They are going on a mini tour after tonight. If I get back at a reasonable time, I'll post back

It will be played at a great venue in Houston, called MATCH. There will be booze, both beer and cocktails a plenty, as well as a stop off at a cool record store in the area





See everyone later tonight...maybe
