    Hello!

    It's Saturday evening here in Oz, and I've just finished what I can assure you is a beer, even though it looks nothing like one. This is Funny Guy, a quad-fruited smoothie sour by One Drop Brewing from Sydney, Australia.

    Smoothie Sours are strange beasts. They don't look, taste, or smell like beer, always seem to come in large-format cans, and are fantastic for the first two sips and a chore after that. This one fit the stereotype perfectly. I feel like I just chowed down on a giant bowl of ice cream!

    Anyway, let us know what you're drinking. Hopefully it looks like a beer, and even more importantly, tastes like one!

    Cheers

    Love the kickoff @AzfromOz , and I am sharing the same experience for this style, likely the only one you’ll see me here with, but enjoying more than anticipated.

    Full review linked above, full New Beer Weekend #276 treatment linked here. Bottom lines I enjoyed more than anticipated, but do t view these as beers so likely one and done in terms of this style.

    Leffe Blonde taste like beer, so I am drinking it. Not a huge fan of those gimmicky beers either to be fair.

    Our ship has reached its last port of call, Budapest. Tomorrow we disembark :sob:

    Muttermilch Brewing Vienna lager. And although the beer is Viennese, the reading material at least is Hungarian.

    Just a heads up - I'm planning on hosting another BA beer Zoom on Friday, Nov 7th at 7 pm EST. Several folks have already expressed interest, I hope you can make it as well :sunglasses:.

    I will post the meeting information next Friday. If you need the Zoom client you can download it from the following link:

    https://zoom.us/download

    It's a great opportunity to meet and chat with other BA's - the next best thing to meeting in person. The meeting is typically open for a few hours so you can drop in when it's convenient if you can't make it at 7 pm. Hope to see you there!! :beers::beers::beers:

    Good day BAs! Thanks @AzfromOz for opening the thread - my sympathies for your beer choice!

    @JackHorzempa - We're heading to TX after we vote Tuesday - a couple of hours late on our annual trek, but better late than never! I've still got your phone # (assuming it's the same) and'll try to contact you after we arrive (Wurstfest Nov 7 - 16) - maybe we can get together for a beer or three!

    While we are gone, the contractors are supposed to redo our bathroom - hours spent in the actual choices, days spent in opening space (the Final Frontier!) - all I care about is whether the toilet works (old sewer lines under concrete) - Mrs Lizard is running the show! The main contractor has done several projects with us over the years - we trust him with our house while we're gone

    Today's New Breakfast Beer:

    Bourbon Barrel-aged Sextuple from Hoppin’ Frog. Four-pack of 8.45 fl oz cans picked up at the brewery, 16/10/25 - $29.33 (Including tax and tip)/$ 0.868/fl oz. Reviewed 01/11/25, review 3621.
    Final impression and summation: 4 Uncredited art work. Very sweet initially but the flavor grows on me. Glad this is in 8.45 fl oz cans instead of 16 fl oz cans!
    Rating 4, rDev -2.9%

    G'day all!

    I'm sipping on this Imperial Brown Ale from Boulevard. Best before September 10th 2028. Strong, sweet, full bodied, pecans are noticeable, barrel aging working very well. Excellent.

    Prost!

    Good morning BAs! Stayed up late drinking so slept in this morning…in the ice plunge now with a Narwhal:

    The beer is great again this year - lots of bittersweet dark chocolate and roast coffee flavors.

    A full day on tap: Gulfport’s biannual Art in the Yard Walk from 10 to 5; meet up with friends we haven’t seen in awhile at Webb’s Cellars at 1; then monthly bottle share a HBS with the share crew. Busy, busy, busy.

    Another cool beautiful day here, pity the heat returns this week. Cheers and have a super Saturday y’all!

    Good Saturday everyone! Thanks @AzfromOz for opening the bar with a glass of orange juice, um... I meant sour. :wink:
    @flagmantho What a nice view you got there.

    Starting with a delicious glass of SN Northern Hemisphere Harvest.

    Moving right along BAs…my partner is still sleeping, so I’m drinking/taking my usual notes on this beauty - FW’s “Double DBA - Batch 10,000” (2023):

    [​IMG]

    A BBA Imperial ESB. So smooth, caramel, molasses and just as you think it rolls sweet, the dryness of the barrel balances the whole. Outstanding! My notes are done…hope to get over to NBW. Cheers y’all!
