What beer are you drinking now? #4019

Good morning all. Starring at a lazy Sunday and I am excited for it. Cheers all.

 

Good day BAs! Thanks @Shanex for starting us off. Typical fall day here - drizzling and cool (40F/4C) - just miserable.

A fitting morning for my New Breakfast Beer:



Sour, something I didn't expect in an impy stout. Considering drain pour. Rating 3.7, rDev 0% (First review from current batch)

 

Good morning, all! Feels like winter is closing in on the Cedar Valley. It's a brisk 35°, but it's still Oktober and I still have a bunch of Oktoberfest biers that require my attention. This is Rhinegeist Franz, in a Goebel German Stein. Prost!

 

Good morning BAs! Some chores done, it’s coffee time - Jackie O’s “Bound By Dust” an imperial stout aged in high-rye bourbon barrels for 16 months:



No bottled date, but believed to be late summer/early fall 2022. Purchased at the brewery June 2023. Poured at 57°. Bourbon, chocolate, heat from 13.3%. Quite tasty. Working on notes for NBW.

Cheers and have a great day y’all!

A pretty decent Helles. Not my favourite style but well made and worth a try if you see it because it may not be around long.

 

A lovely Sunday morning after an unexpected college football win against a long-time foe ("the south's oldest rivalry") that was ranked an order of magnitude higher than your school. So yes, @jvgoor3786 - an exclamation was heard throughout the house when the final interception was recorded last night. Assuming last night's unlikely result isn't a dramatic shift in the trajectory of our season to be repeated every game for the next 5 weeks, I ask for only one more specific win in the last game this season - all others are gravy.


Morning celebration (lowercase - not SN's fresh hop brew):


Still have a couple of Double DBAs left, though they seem to be losing their punch a little. They are mellowing nicely, though, with a little more cigar tobacco where there was once bourbon.

 

G'day all!

Nice Autumn morning here in Casper.

This beer...French Toast Bastard...is hitting all the right notes. It helps that I love french
toast for a side in my breakfast.

Prost!

 

This one I can’t complain about.

 

Bitburger with Curry-Wurst.
Cheers from Germany

 

Good Sunday BA's! Thanks @Shanex for opening the bar.
Relaxing with a typical and easy Mighty Squirrel Cloud Candy DDH NEIPA.



Cheers!

 

Happy Belated Birthday to the several celebrations mentioned the past two days. Back with another one from Massachusetts, and it's very enjoyable.

Full review in the New Beer Sunday #974 thread. This is similar to the offering from yesterday. Great mouthfeel, a little stronger, nice balance but sweet overall, nice collaboration.

Hope you enjoy your beer and day today. If I'm ambitious, I'll return with a few from beyond my home.

At HighGrain Brewing Company for brunch. Currently drinking their Monarch Juicy IPA.


Cheers!

 

This is a nice change. Solid Copper Ale for sure.

 

Cheers!

 

I hope your team wins all the other games, except for that one!

 

Happy Sunday BA's! Slept in til 0730 today, load of towels washed, 3.5 mile walk complete in the 60 degree air. I'm enjoying this Funky Buddha Maple Bacon coffee porter while watching the pool cleaner do it's job. We're headed to a high of about 86 today so a jump into the 72 degree pool may happen.

Definite beech smoke up front. Not as intense as the Schlenkerla version but the same flavour. Much more smokey and drier than Smoked Honey, the other smoked beer by Royal City Brewing. X-posted to the Smoked Beer thread.

 

Need this after the day at work I've just had. Cheers all.

 

While I don't have a dog in this particular hunt, congratulations on your school's victory! I don't follow the sport closely these days, and don't like the insatiable greed which has led to the conference realignments over the past three plus decades, I do appreciate and hope as many of the century old rivalries can continue throughout this decade.
