What beer are you drinking now? #4905

Good day BAs! Thanks @ChicagoJ for opening the bar! @mactrail - sorry I didn't give you credit for opening yesterday's thread - for some reason (probably a TIA), I though @Beersnake was the party involved, hence my reptile report.

No New Breakfast Beer today, just one of the two daily drinking beers I buy by the case:



Right out of the kitchen reefer - as always, a great cherry brewski!

 

Good morning BA
Barleywine for breakfast after a 16 hour night shift...

Cheers all!

 

Happy hump day ba. Long day off, largely unsupervised, so this could get interesting. Looking forward to the baseball season start, tonight, and opening day tomorrow. Although the season starts a bit to early for north east temps.

Up and at it w/ for real my last can of heady. Managed to score three more from yesterday and I’ve made quick disposal,

 

G'day all!

I'm sipping on this Hazy IPA from Cellarmaker and Everywhere. Nice citrus forward Hazy.

Prost!

 

On the TGV from Strasbourg to Paris. Pretty cool to be drinking a beer on a 200 mph train.

I am an expert in air travel, flying almost every week, but I’ll admit to being a little intimidated by the European rail system. I think I figured it out. I have a ticket. And am on a train. I’m somewhat sure it’s the right train.

 

Hello BAs. My beer fridge interior looks pretty spiffy all of the sudden. Brushing off the option anxiety powder coat, today's starter is from @beergoot and it's Westfax Tears Of Our Enemies Scottish Ale 7.1%
"Do you have any Scottish in you? Would you like some?"

This is a lovely tasting beer.
Nice day here. South breeze, AM sun has burned away the clouds. 69F predicted. Cheers!

 

I'm back with this offering from New Holland and to me, it's very disappointing. Coffee and Bourbon clash and make my palate squirm. I don't know why stores in Casper insist on picking up NH beers. I had 10 of their beers and only 2 I rated above the average; both are retired.

I miss the big beers from Epic, Deschutes, Avery.

Prost!

 

Today, spring is becoming more prevalent, albeit slowly--and both cats Gracie and Sundae are happy to help me check out the day's new libations...a celebration of fine Ontarian breweries: First, with Sundae, from Chatham's Sons of Kent Brewing Co--my second time having their 5.7% 8Track Extra Pale Ale...



Poured...



More in a moment! Cheers, from McGregor! =)

 

Next, with Gracie, from Kenora's Lake of the Woods Brewing Company--my second experience with the 7.1% Forgotten Lake Blueberry Ale...



Poured...



More momentarily! Cheers, from McGregor! =)

 

Finally, on a road trip to Chapter Two Brewing Co. leading The Responsible Beer Drinking Club--their 7.2% Anniversary Belgian Dubbel (for their recent 8th anniversary)...



The first two beers are also shown bookending articles about film from The Rough Guide to Cult Movies (Kitsch section)...



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

 

Hey everyone - beautiful sunny spring day here!



Went hiking at the beaver swamp, so good to get out - turtles haven't emerged yet.

 

I couldn't finish that New Holland so I moved on to a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Sooo much more comforting. Packaged February 19th.

Prost!

 

Happy Hump Day BAs

Nice walk in - temps warming up, and the sun is shining - win win!

Cheers, big ears!



saw several types of willows blooming on my hike this am....this is the most common -
"*****" willow....

 

Back at it ba w/ another local brewery here: Peanut butter Boris, variant ris, spider bite brewing. The base ris is pretty good and has won some decent state awards if that matters at all.

Robust and chocolate malt forward. The peanut flavor is subtle, not overly sweet, and offers a decent complement to the malt. Full bodied but it does come off a bit chalky at times. The 10% abv doesn’t hurt. Decent but I’m not in love w/ it,

Not dated, been out for a bit, but cold stored,

 

That previous Scottish Ale was dynamite! TA @beergoot
I didn't get back to the store for Kasteel Donker @Shanex due to the sliding floor and moving panels of my schedule which are subject to quick change...but I will get there. Hopefully there's a few 4pks left.
Anyhoo...yes. I do have a vice for Dunkel.
Andechs Weissbier Dunkel 5% bottling code L2535
Sept 10 '25. Will go for it no prob because I've had older German beers that were just fine. I've gambled in the past and did quite well. Cheers!
Rolling the dice bottle...
Mmmmm. Yum!

 

A few life lessons I learned from @beerloserLI in my travels at BA
Let’s Git This Shit Started
FaceBook down the street on the left
Ass,Gas, Grass: nobody rides for free
Today I add another:
Long Day Off, Largely Unsupervised, This Could Get Interesting.

continuing this theme I decided to spring clean the beer fridge bottom drawer where I stash some shitty beers because I’m too cheap to toss them.
Today is the day to sample and decide the shittiest beer in the house.


1) Ommegang Hop Water: as advertised, it’s not bad
2) Lawson Cosmic Shift: canned 6/25 sucked in the summer
3) Lawson Juice Stand: canned 6/25 more sour than my actual sour in the line up
4) Beer Tree Foggy Valley: neither expressive hop flavor or bitter, pick a side, any side
5) OH Florida Plates: too fucking something, maybe made by AI
6) Wayland Peachy: the clear winner actually very tasty balanced peach flavor sour, I guess I put this one in back of every beer I had since summer.

@beerloserLI new theme song
It’s true
I data input all I know about this guy
ChatGPT spit out this result
done with the sour now I’m sure I’ll prolly so sips/ some sink pours
Cheers BAs
