What beer are you drinking now? #4191

Howdy folks! Windy & 59F here. Pretty nice. Plants & trees are beginning to emerge. Cruisin' around my yard with a Summit Triumphant. Cheers!

 

Drinking Guinness at The Rusty Nail

 

Basically took the day off to get the car maintained. Shop is near a park that I walk around while I wait. Was checking out the camera/phone's ability to identify flower types. After it told me of tulips and pansies, I gave it something that I had the specifics on and I think it got tired of playing the game:

(the park has it labeled as "flowering quince")

Home, I dealt with some financial stuff and that has driven me to a beer, in a glass I spent a couple dollars on at the thrift store also near the car shop:

 

Good afternoon BAs! Sipping on a Chimay Bleue on this rainy Thursday. Cheers!

 

Time for a new brew here:
Modist Bangin' Phone...... Fang & Bone New Zealand Oak-Aged Pilsner. Nice!

 

Cheers!

 

Cheers!

 

Catching up on posts, and Charlie's Citraholic post and Beachwood's Melrose release (so wish we got these here) inspired this pull.



@GuyFawkes I used to go quite a bit to The Music Box while I lived six blocks west and worked downtown (convenient walk or brown line trip) but IIRC, 63 UP a couple months before the lockdowns was the last film I saw there (or any theatre, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood the last "commercial" release). Will need to check out the Coming Attractions to rectify this once the weather is nicer.

They had the ten film pass, not a season pass, under the previous owners, and we went through quite a few over the years. Miss the Film Festival being there (though their lineups went south over the years).

 

Komes Barleywine (RIP #32!)

 

1) Paulaner Muncher Hell (4.9%): An original German helles with flavors of earthy honey and German bread. A smooth finish.
versus
2) Paulaner Oktoberfest Wiesn (6.0%): A German Festbier with flavors of pale malt, dry bread, grains, yeast. Crisp and carbonated. (Correctly matched the two beers blind)

Winner:
2) Paulaner Oktoberfest Wiesn: Paulaner battle. Their helles vs their festbier and a good way to finish off the last festbier from last year. I also think these drink pretty well in the Spring, not only the fall. First is their helles lager. Pale malts, authentic German bread flavors. Very balanced and nice.
Next is their Festbier. Pours identical, but the aromas and flavors are stronger here. A little more earthy and toasted bread notes, otherwise very similar. I enjoy both of these but head-to-head I really like their festbier better. Both are great beers.

 

It's a very grey, cold, and rainy day on Newfound Lake, perfect Heady Topper weather.

 

Always a huge fan. Cheers all.

 

Up from my afternoon nap…sitting on the side porch drinking a Zombie Dust:



Cool and rainy. Looks like the bad weather went north of here. Cheers y’all!
