What beer are you drinking now? #4545

That looks and sounds quite interesting, how is it?

 

That would be great Mike. I can barely use my cellphone. If I can figure out how to get on Zoom you certainly can. I’m sure @LarryV could tutor you.

 

Speaking of family, how your cousin doing

 

@vabeerguy is one of the folks that everyone always wishes would join us on the Zoom call. Hopefully one of these days he does join us.

 

Time for dessert.
This Kriek held up incredibly well over time.


I'm actually freeing up space in my keezer beer basket for more beer.
Cheers!

 

Still rolling along. Feeling great.

 

Having a Substance next

 

RNG wanted to end a disappointing weekend on a high note. Wasn't planning on having this so soon, but was very much looking forward to having it. The cellar hoard suddenly makes too much sense.

Eau Rouge - Noble Beast Brewing Company - 6.5% - GABF 2024 Gold
A Solera blend of five & three year old beer aged in our oak founder. This “Burgundy of Belgian” developed wine-like characteristics through a long secondary fermentation with wild yeast & souring bacteria. Cherry pie & raspberry flavors emerged alongside a firm, yet gentle acidity. Time in medium toast oak added tannic structure & balance. If stored cool, this beer will continue to develop & improve over the course of many years. Bottle conditioned.

Has to be much different from the 2021 base I had the privilege of sampling at the festival here that year. As it is, it has quite a pleasant nose of fruit, vanilla, and barrel with a similar taste. Not overly sour; very refreshing.

Hard to actually score when you aren't used to seeing these old-school styles often, but that makes it all the more special when someone takes the time to keep them alive here of all places. At this point I am probably crazy enough to go buy another bottle or two while they are still around...

Fantastic album to close out the weekend, too.

 

I would be willing to do an informal Zoom meeting with anyone who just wants to figure out how to do it.

 

Cheers!. Sounds like I missed out on another Zoom meeting last night.

Have a blessed Sunday and a productive week ahead to all.

 

He went home from the hospital Thursday , almost 3 weeks in the hospital.
No rehab facility (eyes roll),
Only half the family still thinks I tried to kill him
Just a coincidence I’m the new power of attorney

 

Howdy BAs
I had a blast last night with you fellow BA/ Zoomers, it literally is a virtual bar. Thanks again @LarryV for setting it up. I left after midnight and a bunch of you were still going strong, cheers to all the participants!

Unfettered Soul from Strange Bird by way of @TCgenny ’s porch bomb. I think they named it after him. This is really delicious Tom, thanks.

We saw this at the beach today, kind of funny.

 

Please do Mike!

 

The easiest and safest way to kill somebody with a compromised immune system is give them some bad chicken soup, just say’in

 

That is a beautiful well done job. Did you also put in new floor tiles?

 

Tastes like Malaria and Dengue!!



Kidding.

It was a really interesting red ale. Couldn't quite put my finger on it, but i would try it again in a heartbeat. Never had or even heard of Ayrampo so my input is limited

 

Clever Girl. An IPA brewed by Triple Crossing.

Not sure what is going on but I bought 2 four packs the other day and there is just one can left. I better check the locks on the doors. Seems someone is sneaking in and taking them. My son-in-law has a key to the house. Couldn’t be.

 

- I've never heard of it either, but I'd give it a try if I come across it - thanks!!

 

Covert - Egg Pie, 2024 vintage imperial stout aged in Buffalo Trace, thanks to @bbtkd

 

Successful dinner with lots of leftovers for this week. Closing out the night and the weekend with this Imperial Baltic Porter: Jack's Abby Framinghammer. Cheers!
