What beer are you drinking now? #4841

Was just in CT to buy my Dirtwolf and there was no GBot....bummer. cheers and enjoy!

 

I was never a big fan of triple IPAs. Thought the sweet spot was the double IPAs in terms of taste and ABV.

 

That last one went down fast with dinner. Time for the closer tonight.

 

Old Rasputin. Cheers.

 

100% Mike. Me either , They are way to sweet and thick most times . I bought this by mistake when North Park came in with a drop and picked up all 4 of the brews on the week. I will suffer thru thou.

 

We will inform Lawsons so they temporarily cut back on Sip of Sunshine production until you’re back home. Rest up and stay the hell off of scooters. Those things clearly were underwritten by the orthopedic surgeon lobby.

 

Back to basics . One of the OG WCIPA’S . Not sure what to do with the wall ( more ivy)?. Will need some more flowers and bulbs thou,

 

Cheers!

 

One of these.

 

Absolutely! Don’t waste beer if you can avoid it. Occasionally, I may buy a single can of a triple IPA but it has been a while since I bought a four pack. And then it was a local brewery.

Bad weather is in the forecast here. I stocked up on some more brews. Which reminds me I should post it on the haul thread.

Drink well my friend. Stay safe.

 

At my favorite Vietnamese beer bar in Houston...that is Hughies.

A tale of two Hefes...

First up is Live Oak, and an all time Texas classic. This is also as fresh as I have had this in a LONG time, and it fantastic, and only $4



Second Hefe is the Wltenburger Helle Weibe

I like it. and very classic, but the Live Oak is more expressive. Its probably more a function of the Live Oak being uber fresh, and this being a much older keg.

 

Bring the Rukus, Barreled Souls Brewing, Saco Maine

On draft at Novare Res, Portland Maine

Oh baby, this is the one if you’re looking for a high octane intense barrel aged stout!

Aged for a year in Dickel bourbon barrels.

Appearance is deep dark mahogany black. No head or lacing at all.

One whiff tells you This Is The One. Rich, heady Russian Imperial Stout aroma. Some alcohol as would be expected for 13.5%.

Taste is out of this world! Complex, dark fruits, molasses, heavy in a good way, borderline syrupy but not at all cloying.

Rich mouthfeel, tingles (it’s that 13.5% talking), lingering wonderful aftertaste.

Overall this is the perfect cold night winter stout. A great after dinner drink. Sweet but not overly so, less than a ‘dessert’ stout. It’s amazing…

 

Did you stock up on seafood.. shrimp & clams ?. Oh and I only buy singles on various drops.

 

Can't leave Hughie's without great Vietnamese food...

Still the Wltenburger Hefe...and a shaking shrimp with extra spicy fried rice. This is great.



Oh, and it is Tuesday...so that means a stop off a Johnny's Gold Brick for...whats that..oh yeah...A $2 Old Fashioned

And have just about 50 pages left to go on this huge Karl Ove Knausgaard novel, that I'm absolutely loving.

 

I missed this the other day at the VB and apologize!
@MacMalt => Q: "Does Rheingeist distro to Eastern Penna.?"
Answer: No, I actually muled those cans back from Ohio on our way to Indiana for Thanksgiving.

 

Sorry to hear about the injuries. I hope you get back to abnormal soon!

Take care. Don’t rush back into things.

 

Sorry to say the only other things I stocked up on was water, canned sardines, and M&M peanuts.
