What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #4829

@FRANKHAZE , and nice to see you join us @Shanex Thanks for opening the thread, as I wanted to have a few more leftover wings paired with this selection. This is sadly likely my last Miskatonic beer, as they closed last month.

Miskatonic West Coast Wizard




@Whyteboar - Thanks for the background of the Carol yesterday. I never knew that. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church switched to the revised Julian calendar in 2023 like the Greeks and a few others previous, and now also celebrate December 25th, so perhaps we can queue that up later this year to celebrate their Christmas.

This is a damn tasty WCIPA. Sad to see the brewery go, as I bought this when I saw it fresh.

Happy sunny and warmer Thursday BAs

Popped the first one of the NA Guinness - always a favorite, that I will likely get several 4 pks of this month!



skunk cabbage is popping out really early....will be a month or more before it blooms though, most likely

Mallassepät - Sahti Tumma

I brought back this dark Sahti with me from Finland. It tastes very different from the one I had on draft while there, which was of the lighter variety. This one is darker, thicker, less banana-forward, and it even has some bitterness at the end. Quite delicious. But only if you are open-minded and know what to expect. It's not carbonated so it may throw you off if you are not familiar with the style and are simply expecting a "normal" beer.



Also a fun fact about my trip. On the flight to Finland (on Finnair) one of the movies on their IFE system was called "100 Litres of Sahti" and it's about two ladies who make and sell Sahti and about the troubles they run into when they start drinking their own supply. Quite entertaining but also educational on how Sahti is actually made.

 

A bottle of Prairie Christmas Bomb on a snowy morning along the northern front range while I begin the task of dismantling the season. The weather feels more like Christmas today than it did two weeks ago. Cheers!

I saw what you did there!

 

Good afternoon BAs! Dr. Appointments this morning, then 2 mile walk. Home now, starting with an IPA - “ Tropicalia”:



Beautiful sunny day forecast. I have some errands to run and then a dinner meet up with a few of my beer buddies. Cheers y’all!

 

It's the absolute very least I can do at the moment. Silly but whatever.

 

No golf today, too cloudy. too cold, and too windy.
Picked up a 6[pack of this yesterday.

 

Lunch beer . . .

Yellowhammer Brewing Rebellion Red Lager

Clear red gold color with light color cap.

Clean aroma that's mostly malty with a hint of something darkish and sweet like cherry cola.

Nice low key flowing malt rich flavor that offers a hint of roasted malt without any bitterness or roast malt elements like coffee. Just a smooth darkness linked to the malt richness.

Medium texture with balancing carbonation.
.
A good hit but not a home run, it's decent and enjoyable but not memorable.

 

Today, it's warm and beautiful, out here in McGregor--and both cats Gracie and Sundae were very happy to help me check out the new beers of the day. For today, I've curated a New England (or Hazy) IPA, a blonde ale, and a stout--so it's a good mix for an unseasonably warm (though I'm not complaining, mind you) January day: First, with Sundae, my tenth beer from Lake of Bays Brewing Company, from Baysville, Ontario--their 6.5% Bow Echo Hazy IPA...



Poured...



More beer thoughts soon! Cheers, from McGregor! =)

 

Next, again with Sundae, it's my fifth exemplar from Ottawa, Ontario's Nita Beer Co.--their 5% Perfectum Stout...



Poured...



Finally, with Gracie, it's my fourteenth beer from Nickel Brook Brewing Co., from Burlington, Ontario--the 4.7% Cause & Effect Steady Blonde Ale...

Tomorrow: Three more new beer considerations, from the following breweries:
--Left Field Brewery (Toronto, Ontario; my eleventh of their wares);
--Orleans Brewing Company (Orleans, Ontario; my eighth); and
--Rorschach Brewing Co. (Toronto, Ontario; my twelfth)...

Have a great rest of your day, and cheers...from The Responsible Beer Drinking Club! =)
