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

Today's New Breakfast Beer:



Watchstander Stout (2025) from Ghostfish Brewing. 16 fl oz can, purchased 26/02/26 from Franklin Beer, Franklin, PA. $ 5.75/$ 0.359/fl oz. In reefer at distributor, stored at 40 degrees F at home. Reviewed 13/03/26, review 3705.
Final impression and summation: 3.5 Uncredited label art. The body is a bit light for a stout, distinctly porter-ish. The bitterness remains on my palate long after the beer has been swallowed. Gluten free and apparently lactose-free.
Rating 3.53, rDev +1.4%

Hard to believe this won gold twice at the GABF - either the only beer in the category or the rest must have been unbelievably bad. One and done – drain pour.

 

Bitter by Moor brewing.

Solid cask bitter. Enjoying the fire on this cold day.

 

G'day all!

I'm sipping on this Bitter from Ridgeway. I had this many years ago. This doesn't resemble what I had in any way. No balance, astringent bitterness is all that I get. Disappointing is an understatement.

Prost!

Edit: Then, with the last pour, I finally get some malt presence. Too little, too late.

 

Drinking Knoblach Urmärzen. A very tasty Märzen, with the malt heft and fullness that one expects, with a refreshing hop bitterness that is certainly at home in this style from an historical perspective, along with a pleasant herbal hop flavor. It is a well rounded flavorful beer in all respects, balancing rusticness with obvious quality. A fine example of the style in my opinion.

 

Moved to a faux German beer hall.

Krombacher dark. Very nice.

 

I don't know how to answer that but I have attached an interesting video that I found this morning.

 

Tasting a new product at work.


Pretty damn tasty.

 

Here is a Midwest Pilsner from Transient Artisan Ales out of Bridgman Michigan. It's the breadiest Pilsner that I have ever had. Hop presence is near nonexistent. It's not something I would drink again except I have another can to do a review.

Prost!

 

One of the best beers I've ever had was this, back in the mid 1970s, 5L can.

 

Coors Light at Sapphire beach.

 

Happy Friday the 13th BAs

Watch out for black cats and the like today!
