What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #4236

Morning all and thanks to @RaulMondesi for starting off today's bar. My home county is home to Wychwood brewery of Hobgoblin fame. They've been brought out by Marston's now though.

Moonlite by Hattie Browns at The Fox Inn in Corfu.

 

Square Logic by Eight Arch. Beautifully soft pale Ale.

 

This collaboration is very impressive. Cheers all.

 

Palmers 200 ESB

 

Hope for two Russian Imperial Stouts today to get me on track for our tasting. Have a new beer planned in between the two after time elapses so this heavy hitter doesn't impact.

Bell's Expedition Stout (2018)



Russian Imperial Stout Tasting Link, includes comparison vs. 2020 and 2023 conducted Halloween 2023. Bottom line, 2-3 years out seems to be the sweet spot for this beer, fresh would be next option and 5-6 plus years too old, consistent with most beers, IMO.

Will piggy back on @Shanex musical artists, and assuming no hail or tree damage today, no complaints about our weather, though really have enjoyed our Weather here from Fall forward, much better than expected.

Bryan Ferry, as portrayed by Nicolas Cage, aka Nicolas Cappola.

 

Next up and this one is one of the absolute best.

 

Aecht Schlenkerla Eiche.



Taking a break from grinding up horseradish. If you've never ground horseradish, it's worse than chopping onions. I've been crying and blowing my nose for a half hour! But hey, what's a hotdog without horseradish?

 

I just picked this up so I decided to have an early beer today . .

 

Grating horseradish is truly a love/hate thing for me. My father was Polish and every year we grated horseradish and mixed it with beets to have for Easter. I carry on the tradition. This was last Easter's homage.

 

Good Sunday BAs! Thanks @RaulMondesi for getting us going.
Belated condolences to @mushroomcloud.

Starting with a delicious Schilling Volksgarten Vienna Lager.



Cheers!

 

The day started at 4am prepping to get a 7lb flat smoking. I'm more than ready for a beer! Digging in the old KBS stash with a 2019. Holding it's own after 5 years. Sometimes I think I'll be drinking these in perpetuity. Cheers V-barflies and enjoy your Sunday!

 

Happy humid Sunday BAs

Made the 370+ mile roundtrip yesterday afternoon and evening to pick up this cool little vintage 1963 International Penguin racing sailboat - need a little sprucing up, but it is very cool!



here she is!

can't believe the guy gave it away for free!

 

I was going to wash my car but it's 91 degrees out there so . . ,

 

Good Sunday BA's! Errands and a 3.5 mile walk completed. It's already 88 feels like 95 so try to get out early. His and hers, prolly grilling 2 burgers in a little while.

 

That's pretty sweet - I can't wait to see what you do to it. I bet you have that baby looking like new when you're done with it. Cheers!

 

Swashbuckler Negra Mexican style lager at FlavorFest at the Mt.Hope Winery and Renaissance Fairgrounds.
9 bucks for a 20 oz plastic cup, filled to the brim.
It's not bad, it would probably be much better if I wasn't drinking sweet Pa wines all day, and it wasn't in a plastic cup.
Not a single brewery offering samples at this all wine & spirit event. BOO!
The things we do for our wife and kids.
