What beer are you drinking now? #4708

Crisp morning. This will get the Tuesday going nicely. Cheers all.

 

Good day BAs! Thanks @mactrail for opening the bar! Kind of reminds me of the days sitting on the steps of the Rod and Gun Club, waiting for Frank or Lundie to open the bar.

Well,it's a chilly 43 F (6.1 C) here in NW PA - guess I'll pick my Gong Bao peppers later today, assuming I don't get attacked by migrating bipolar bears. Today's New Breakfast Beer:



We're at the end of a chain of beer distributors, so what they can't sell at the beginning eventually ends up here, hence three year old Deschutes four-packs. With IPAs, I wouldn't buy them, but Deschutes Impy Stouts might still be good. Indeed, the base "The Abyss" was excellent! However, the Coconut variety didn't hold up - the coconut has passed on to the big flavor bog in the sky. Maybe if this had been refrigerated for the last three years, the coconut wouldn't have fled.

The Abyss - Coconut from Deschutes Brewery. Four pack of 12 fl oz bottles picked up at Franklin Beer, Franklin, PA, 28/08/25 - $ 19.50 (including tax)/$ 0.41/fl oz. Reviewed 09/09/25, review 3582. Note that I use DD/MM/YY protocol.
Final impression and summation: 4 Uncredited label artist. The initial nose is coconut, but this fades away as the glass warms. No coconut occurs in the flavor, beat into submission by the barrel and ethanol levels. Not a bad beer, just don’t expect any coconut – seek out a fresher vintage in hopes that the coconut hasn’t faded into oblivion.
Rating 3.6, rDev -15.9

Dudes & dudettes! Happy Tues to you. I'm here faced with the task of cleaning and sorting my drum room. FFS. I thought I sold a load of stuff?! I can barely walk in there. It may be morning but a beer will aid in guiding me to a logical process of how to even start. Kinda like: I have to start thinking about starting to think about it.
Sierra Nevada Pils packaged 8/19/25 in their 25cl kooky Kolsch kan that makes everything else look big. It's a tasty brew. Cheers!

 

That is indeed a cool looking ship!

 

Likely one of my favorite "Festbiers" and made locally.....really a nice beer!

Cheers BAs and happy Tuesday!

 

1 more SN Pils. Cheers!

 

Nice pic! Cheers, @Dethark

 

Really enjoying these lighter beers lately. So much flavor and I can drink a few without worrying about getting hammered. Schilling in Littleton, NH is killing it with lagers and Belgian ales.

 

At Two Goats, Dirty Shepherd brown ale for me and a Dirty Butt (brown ale & cream ale) for the wife.

 

Canned 2 weeks ago. Yes please.

 

Here's some fun water: Modist Last of the Best Strata DDH Pilsner. Poured gently into a rare 1930's Hazel-Atlas jar from my late mom's collection. It cleaned up nicely! I'll use a Pils glass next time. Making headway in the drum room...Cheers!


@Dethark I had to B&W Ye Oulde Waverley ! Looks superb ;-) Cheers!
