    What's that? Friday, you say? Well, why didn't anyone tell me earlier? Guess I'd better get a beer in hand!

    Now let's see... what's in the fridge tonight? The bottle of Cantillon? The cheap macro? The last of the beer muled back from Singapore?

    How about this: an affogato stout? A what? What the hell's an affogato you ask? It's coffee and ice-cream, together at last! Which genius thought of that, and then which genius decided to add it to beer? Whoever he is, he must be a rich man, surely! I mean he owns a brewery, so he must be rolling in cash, right?

    Anyway, enough exposition. Here it is, Affogato Stout by Bright Brewery, from up in the Victorian ski fields. Surely a great ending to another shitty work week, right?

    Meh, it was ok; it had a massive hit of freshly ground coffee, but fell short on the ice-cream part. I guess the rich guy who invented the beer wasn't rich enough to add the ice-cream after all...

    But as always, I'm not complaining. I have a beer and it's the weekend. Life is good!

    Cheers, and have a great weekend!

    A new to me brew this afternoon. Belgian one and named « Golden Strengh Triple ».

    330ml, 7,3% does it for me, right format and ABV.

    G'day all!

    I'm sipping on a Pig Trail Porter from Diamond Bear Brewing and it's pretty good. There's lots of roasted malt and dark chocolate with hints of coffee. The hops do impart a bit of a bite to it, which I could do without.

    Prost!

    Good Word Brewing for lunch. This is a cask ale collab with Creature Comforts. An English style IPA - Miles From Home 5.1%.
    Very tasty. Bready & grainy with a spicy herbal hops character. Has a nice bitter kick that doesn't linger too long. Served at 52°F.

    Lots of good beers on tap today!
    Kolsch, Helles, pre-prohibition lager, German Pils, Marzen, Schwarzbier, Czech Dark Mild, Altbier, Saison, Hazy DIPA, Berliner Weisse just to name a few.

    Nice to see a rarely seen style, Kentucky Common. Cool photo as usual.

    Moving to some hops from Toronto. Boneshaker Unfiltered IPA by Amsterdam Brewery tastes great with solid citrus/pine and an excellent malt backbone.

    Having a round or 2 before venturing off to craft beer cellar. Seen they got Celebration in, few more I'm looking forward to as well.

    Cheers y'all!

    GWB brewer Todd brought me two samples Czech Pale Lager on the right and - hoppy Lager on the left. Czech Pale is tremendous. Hoppy Lager needs a little more carbonation but it's not quite done yet - right off the tank!

    It's Friday evening and I'd like to say the working week is done, unfortunately I'm working tomorrow. That's not stopping the beer though!

    I went to Lowe's Foods which was the only place that had Celebration for a few days (it's everywhere now) and found Cigar City Jai Alai less than three months old.

    Can't drink just one when it shows up intact.

    Hello BAs. Thanks @AzfromOz for today's thread. It's a raw, cold & windy day here. Nicer indoors. So, in need of some pathway direction today, I've chosen a grail of 2023 Lagunitas The Waldos' Special Ale TIPA 11.7% ABV. Tip Top. Bought the bottle 6/15. Should get me going. Cheers!!
