What beer are you drinking now? #4964

Sierra Nevada Brewing's ~ 2026 Bigfoot BA
The beast. The beer. The legend. After the workday grind, reconnect with your wild side through our untamed barleywine-style ale. This classic lives up to its namesake: massive malt body, sheer hop intensity, standing at 9.6% ABV.

 

Looks like it’s gonna be a toaster here too today. Cooling off with a citrus-infused macro lager that’s a bit too sweet but still pretty refreshing.



Egészségedre!

 

A little World Cup inspired beer to start this Saturday. My girl Daya has a few soccer games this morning and the a party at my brother Brett’s house. Nice little Saturday. Cheers all.

 

Good morning (just) BA.

Out for the day in Dorchester today, never been before so we'll see what we find!

Pint of Schlenerla and a pretzel!

 

Good morning and afternoon, fellow BAs!

I do not have a brew in front of me at the moment, but I will later today. I do not drink in the morning. I know, a metal dude with restraint?

I wish everyone a fantastic Saturday and a restful, relaxing day.

@SawDog505 Speaking of the World Cup, it is finally coming to Philadelphia, and of course Italy does not even qualify for the tournament. Such a bummer.

 

Have a banger beer packing only 4.0% ABV. Citra and Simcoe the hops, typical Spiteful IPA, reminds me a lot of the Simcoe brewed Alley Time Pale Ale. Full New Beer Weekend #305 take linked here, full beer review linked below.

Lite Brite, another great Chicago invention.

 

Tom Browns by Dorset Brewing Company.

Cask best bitter.



Lovely steam at the bottom of the pub garden.

 

Good day BAs! Thanks @Todd for opening the bar - good to see you participating!

It's 50F and raining here, so a typical summer day on the tundra of NW PA - guess I'll not get anything done outside this weekend.

Fortunately, I've got a good New Breakfast Beer, one I haven't had in a couple of decades, well before I joined BA:



Pliny the Younger (2026) from Russian River Brewing. 17.25 fl oz bottle, received 18/05/26, in a ninja strike from @2beerdogs. Stored at 40 degrees F at home. Reviewed 23/05/26, review 3733.
Final impression and summation: 4.25 Uncredited label art. Very aggressive but pleasing flavor combination – distinctly an IPA.
Rating 4.33, rDev -7.7%

@2beerdogs - Many thanks for sending me this Icon - I'll probably never get out to the west coast again. I'm in the school of "PtY is a technically better beer, but Big Chicken is more aligned with my tastes". Thanks again!

PS - seems like a good day the watch "Das Boot" again!

 

Yellow Tail by Wantsum Brewery.

Cask pale ale.



Apparently we missed the annual duck rase that is held on the steam behind, by a week. Would have been something different to see.

 

Piston Popper by Apex.

 

@Giantspace, I didn't see your post until this morning and it's too late to reply to yesterday's thread. No, I have never seen Hop Drop 'N Roll in New Jersey. I'm in NC's Research Triangle for a couple of days and bought it here. Cheers!

 

G'day all!

I'm sipping on this excellent Dunkel from Prost.

Prost!

 

Time to get my blueberry and pomegranate on with In My Darkest Sour from Black Plague Brewing, San Diego, CA. Cheers y'all!

 

I took the train to the little town of Hatvan to see more of the countryside and to visit a brewery in a new-to-me region of Hungary. Hatvany Serfőzde has just 3 beers: light lager, dark lager, and wheat — very much in the German/Czech/Slovak model. The light lager is damn good too!



Egészségedre!

 

Fuzz Tone by Dark Revolution.

Cask hazy pale.



Love this on the wall in the pub...
