Troegs Nimble Giant from a stop in Harrisburg yesterday. Glad to be home here in Water world.

I had a chance to watch the last season of Mrs. Maisel last week. They used this song.

 

Drinking Bud at an iconic location



They just played the national anthem, but not this version

 

1) Falling Knife Of A Feather (5.5%): A Helles Lager from Minnesota with flavors of lemonflower, smooth honey notes. Clean
versus
2) Utepils Helles (5.1%): A German Helles Lager from Minnesota with flavors of pale Munich malts, smooth bread malts. (Mismatched the two beers blind)

Winner: Falling Knife Of A Feather
Falling Knife vs Utepils Helles Battle. First is Falling Knife Of A Feather. Floral, yeasty, and clean. Excellent flavors and drinkability.
Next is Utepils, one of my favorite German Helles. Smooth bread and honey notes. Very similar.
Close, but slight win to Falling Knife for the crisp drinkability.

 

More Okto and cactus flower Wednesday cheers!

 

Joining @Shanex with a classic Duvel.
Cheers all!

 

Right along here ba. Late night juice run, ddh iipa w/ citra, citra cryo, citra incognito, nelson sauvin, & ekuant, oh. Crazy good hop juice. Nice and dank with notes of tropical fruit and white wine,

 

Indomitable Rye 2xIPA, my 1st beer from Skeleton Key, 39 miles away. Terrific!

 

1) Barrel Theory When The Sun Hits (7.0% no canning date): A NEIPA from Minnesota with Citra and Strata for flavors of tropical orange, grapefruit, guava, pineapple.
versus
2) Barrel Theory Thoughts + Feelings (7.0% canned 5/12/24): A NEIPA from Minnesota with Citra T-90, Citra Cryo and Riwaka for flavors of orange, pineapple, melon, and mango. (Mismatched the two beers blind)

Winner: Thoughts + Feelings
Barrel Theory IPA Battle. First is When The Sun Hits. Citra and Strata. The Strata provides a grapefruit rind, guava, and almost coconut type of flavor. Clean.
Next is Thoughts + Feelings. Citra plus Riwaka. Great combo. Tons of orange, pineapple, melon, and mango.
Really liking Barrel Theory especially this Thoughts + Feelings IPA.

 

Paulaner Oktoberfest/Marzen from a build a 6

 

Insight/Venn Leafy Greens (7.1% canned 6/30/24): A "West-Coast IPA" from Minnesota with terpenes for flavors of cannabis, herb, more cannabis, and some citus. Dank and juicy.

First try at this one. Sort of regretted picking it up. Opening the can I already knew what to expect. Tons of cannabis and dank herbs. Some juicy citrus as well. Dank, herbal, and sweet cannabis. Sort of like cannabis in a can. I am certainly worried there could be a high level of THC in here.
I don't know folks. Another masquerade. Really I think its disingenous to call this a west-coast IPA. I'm not going to pour it out, but probably put in back in the fridge and open a beer I actually enjoy.
...okay I'll probably pour it out.

 

Happy Wednesday BAs! Relaxing in the shade on a beautiful summer afternoon, sipping on a Köstritzer Schwarzbier. Cheers!

 

Another wonderful day. Early morning walk in and then off to the mother-in-law's to mow. Finally got around to cleaning the bird party droppings off some of my deck furniture. Now a Aldersbacher Urhell, last one, and only beer of the day. So let's make it a tall one. Cheers!

 

Great pic of you both!!

 

I wasn't on yesterday, so I missed posting about Charlie Haden's birthday...which was yesterday ha. Late birthday remembrance for one of my all time favorite musicians.

Saint Arnold Amber in the glass.

Charlie Haden's Golden Number spinning. An album of duets with Don Cherry, Ornette Coleman and Artie Shepp.

 

Along here again ba. Alexandr, pilz, schilling,

 

Stone at da beach.

Turned out to be gorgeous today!

Town inspector just signed off on my solar installation so now I have to wait for National Grid to come by and replace the meter and then we can power up the system. He said probably a couple of weeks. Having a Stone IPA ..
