What beer are you drinking now? #4359

Good day BAs! Thanks @elNopalero for opening the virtual bar today! @Shanex - I feel for ya buddy - we share the same weather! And you won't find me in the Apollo Bay brewhouse - too many TVs and too rough a crowd!

Today's New Breakfast Beer:



Final Impression and summation: 2.75 Good looking brew when rear-lite, pretty ugly with bright front lighting. Innocuous aroma, weak malt water flavor. Bad bottle or just too old? Next time I'm in Greece, I'll try to find one on tap, or at least fresher.

Rating 2.55, rDev -23.4%

 

Loss IPA from Firstep in Slovakia, at Hopaholic in Budapest. Tasty!



Egészségedre!

 

Awesome you were able to meet up halfway across the globe! Thanks for sharing.

Plan on enjoying a few this afternoon and hopefully beyond, but was able to catch up to the rest of yesterday’s thread and have a few responses. It’s hard for me to keep live between my poor IPhone 7 battery and enjoying time in the moment in Vegas.

@brewskis - Thanks for the date recommendations, and digging your music videos as always.

@LesDewitt4beer - My longest Vegas walk was from Fremont Street to south of the airport down the strip, continuing all the way to Boulder Highway Sam’s Town (about 18 miles) to catch all three Welcome to Las Vegas signs. Did it in April last decade in the 80s F. Too hot this trip but plan to try it again next March or April visit.

Also, I’ve loved hitting the Stage Door over the decades, especially the $1 Michelobs, but stopped going because they scan your ID into an electronic machine to enter, and I’ve been the victim of fraud and other data breaches in the past. Pass on Circa downtown as well due to this policy. Still love going to Ellis Island.

@Resistance88 - On sane page with Homage and Speedway, will agree to disagree on Beachwood, though I don’t find EVERYTHING they do great to very good. Just a majority.

I’m also in the minority on Pizza Port - fine beers but not a destination during limited CA visits, including off premise purchases out West. It’s a solid value in terms of price and quality (Swami’s, others), and might appreciate them more if I lived out West since I’d have access to my go tos year around.

 

Happy Thursday BA's! Only sunshine of the liquid verity here today, rain plus Lawson's Sip! Storm bands are coming thru so steady rain but no winds yet. Ran the chain saw for a bit so it's ready if needed.

 

Thanks for the update! Too bad about Stage Door. That blows. Have fun brother! I'm sure you will.

 

Brasserie Melusine (France) Porter.,. Cheeeeers!

Beautiful nice drinking little organic Porter produced south west of Paris. And how bout that label art?

 

Augustiner Festhalle!

 

Good day BAs! Waiting for the winds…morning coffee is Revolution’s Super Massive Café Deth:



Poured at 55°. Canned 4/4/24. Strong coffee nose and taste over and above the sweet whiskey. A superb example of a BBA Impy Stout with coffee added.

I’m going to drink and post, hopefully, until we lose power which is expected. Have a thirsty Thursday y’all, and Cheers!

 

Happy Thursday BAs

Changing things up a bit - have a few of these left from the 4 pk - basically GLakes Eliot Ness, souped up and aged in Bulleit barrels....quite tasty!



leaves are falling and colors are starting!

 

Needed one of these following a particularly nutty month in a continuously nutty year.

 

Westbound & Down Western Justice 4 miles into the Wyoming wilderness and one bar of service. Cheers.......

 

Lunch prep underway, Waygu beef meatballs and angel hair pasta. Tree House Spirit of a Champion is tasting great. I can't find the hop bill but there has to be some Nelson. Added to the database 8-13-2024 so a new one.

It's sunny and nice right now, temp is 79 degrees.

 

Hello again folks! And Happy drinking wishes goin' out to all the Oktoberfesters...and that includes Uncle Oktoberfester!
Band mates were in tears the other night when I told 'em I had a can of Haunted *****haus Dark Ale. It is funny and is easily toyed with. But for real, the work piece:
Allagash Haunted House Hoppy Dark Ale
Cheers BAs!
