Very nice.

 

Party IPA, can't go wrong

 

Happy Birthday to @AzfromOz and

Happy Anniversary! @Orca and @DavetotheB

We're currently at Standard... but these were the last ones at P3-Double Nectar: Mango & Sicilian Lemon and some random guy shared his Planofolia bottle.. Cheers!

 

Superb Schwarzbier from Brick and Feather

Buckeyes pulling away now, Akron surprisingly decent early. Defense looks good.
Will have to scale back to lagers if I’m to make it to the west coast games. Cheers!

 

Forbidden Pumpkin ~ Abomination Brewing


I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do) ~ Hall & Oates

 

That looks great, Dave! Prost!

 

Kicking off the evening with this local classic. Civil Life American Brown Ale.

 

You have that bird trained well, it never leaves your deck!

 

Imprint Beer Co. “Světlé” Czech Style Pale Lager! I’m sending the Tom Cochrane song out to the Gaudreau family for their devastating loss!

 

Gotta love those Kyser capos!

 

Yay! Looking forward to it. Welcome home!

 

One more Hamms to bring this thing home. Cheers!

1) Stone IPA (6.9% canned 6/3/2024): A West-coast IPA from California with flavors of bitter lemon, apricot, orange, and resinous pine. Bitter and resinous
versus
2) Stone Delicious IPA (7.7% canned 5/29/24): An IPA from California with Lemondrop and El Dorado hops with flavors of lemon peel, and sweet and bitter pine. (Correctly mathced the two beers blind)

Winner: Stone IPA
Stone IPA Battle. I've long digressed about how it's hard to find the OG Stone IPA anymore and Delicious is often more common.
First is the OG Stone IPA. Bitter, tangerine, and slightly resinous. Next is Delicious IPA. Stronger aromas. More lemon peel and sweet pine. A strong bitterness too.
I have always talked trash on their Delicous IPA, but this was a pleasant surprise. Yes, it's a bit fruity and juicier, but still has a respectable bitterness. I don't know what the gluten-reduced is doing for the beer much, but probably not much. The higher ABV probably helps it stand out a bit.
I still think the OG IPA has a stronger and cleaner bitterness profile so picking it. @TheIPAHunter I'm sure you have an expert opinion on the two.

 

Kicking 'er up a notch with a BA English Barleywine from Oddpitch..







Cheers, friends!

 

Still swillin' it up wit the Swami's BA

 

Looks like Cignetti is bringing his first win to Bloomington but it's been a sloppy game with (9) penalties and he's not happy. I like this guy's fire, he has some Bob Knight in his blood.

O'fest train rollin'...

Looks amazing, Dave!
