What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #4795

Thanks for the kickoff @elNopalero ! Nice you enjoy Beachwood in Northern California. We get two drops here a year, and I buy enough to stretch out for six months refrigerated with minimal drop off over time. Also glad I can enjoy in Vegas. Also enjoyed reading of @Resistance88 ’s Beachwood gifts to 1175883[/URL]]@Luscious_Malfoy which based on his 4.5 ratings he enjoyed immensely. Your Sunset Beer friend also picked great beers for his staff.

This was canned two weeks after my Beachwood Amalgamator in mid April, but has not held up as well. Still very good through a few months after canning.

Alesmith IPA



Live now with this beer pairing on WDCB, Ahmad Jamal Saturday Morning.

 

Happy Friday all. Cheers all.

 

Rejoice, BAs! You still have time to hang some tinsel, stock your fridge and do some light stretching before next weekend’s annual Holiday Beer Tasting.

As per recent custom, any holiday beer will be welcome any day, but we will have optional themes:

• Next Friday: Domestics (Sierra Nevada, Great Lakes, Deschutes, Troegs, etc.)

• Next Saturday: Imports (Belgian Christmas Beers, Austrian, British, German, Canadian, etc.)

• Next Sunday: Locals (holiday beers that aren’t distributed outside your area)

In addition to providing another excuse to drink well and celebrate the season with your online pals, daily superlatives for interesting photos will be awarded. Let’s see those trees, nativity sets, menorahs and decked out pets!

Good day BAs! Thanks @elNopalero for opening the bar!

Today's New Breakfast Beer (As the second load washes, the first load dries, and the "white stuff" marinates):



Gilded Bock from Founders Brewing. One four-pack picked up at Franklin Beer, Franklin, PA, 30/11/25, $ 12.38 (including tax)/$ 0.258/fl oz. Reviewed 05/12/25, review 3649.
Final impression and summation: 4.25 Uncredited label art. No hint of the BBA, unless the faint caramel isn’t from the malt used. Anyway, this is a good take on a chocolate bock, another good alcohol delivery system from Founders with a very acceptable price point.
Rating 4.07, rDev -2.2%

 

Up early with the dogs, saw the bar was open, so decided to join you.

 

Birthday brew #1. There may not be many beers today, lol.

 

Happy Friday BA's! Thanks @elNopalero for #4795.
Happy Birthday @IMFletcher!

I can't say today is warm by any stretch. Starting with a morning cup of Guinness Foreign Extra Stout.



Cheers!

 

Happy chilly Friday BAs

My lake here is frozen over already, and it is cold AF! Did not do my ritual morning hike as the temps were only in the single digits...I may try to get out later once it warms up a bit....

Nice stout I picked up at Aldi recently....I like!

 

Anywhere Beer Factory (France) ‘Lava Lake’ English Red Ale.,. Cheers!

 

Thanks for kicking off the thread @elNopalero .

Quaffing New Belgium Danger Beach IPA.



A Happy Birthday to @IMFletcher . @Shanex , Another nice drawing. I'll have to check out that program on Netflix. What's the title?

 

The wife's girlfriend is over (our Bonefish bartender) so I'm staying out of the way, it sounds like a therapy session. Jai Alai, canned on 11-04-25 on a 77 degree overcast afternoon.
