Easter Beers?

Easter is always ham, and the usual sides. We're going over to my daughters so il probably not have a beer until I get home. A rainy chilly dreary Sunday , quite boring honestly , I would prefer a nice two finger pour of Knob Creek about now and a nice nap.

 

Allagash Tripel to go with the meal. Belgian styles just seems appropriate for spring, and an Easter meal.

 

I hadn't put too much thought to it. Thinking maybe a Carton Guilded Lily and a Xocoveza.

 

2013 Ale Smith Grand Cru is making a fine Easter brew.

 

Here comes Peter Cottontail, Hopslamming down the bunny trail. Still drinking amazing!

 

Brought a mixed case of Jack's Abby cans home to share with my in-laws for today's dinner.
-Excess IPL (Broke into that one last night, holy shiiiiiiiiiiit!)
-Hoponious Union
-Calyptra
-House Bier

Figured that, with the exception of Excess, they're all pretty sessionable and might appeal to some of the more casual drinkers.

For dessert when I get back home:



Kent Falls Hibiscus. There's been some hype about this one, should be interesting.

 

I'm having a special Easter-brew called 'Paas-IJ' (Easter-egg).

 

Gonna try and tackle a 750ml Caractere Rouge over a 3-hour nosh fest. Come on 3:00!!!

 

I don't drink on Easter. The day is more centered around the kids and egg hunt, etc. Don't feel the need to drink...plus work in the morning.

 

I have one of the sours from Russian River that has been hanging around by beer fridge for a couple of years. It's about time that I end its ever-loving life to go along with the Easter ham.

 

Still sticking to my home brew. Not bought a beer from a store in over 10 months now. crazy.
But If I did it be Orval for the the win, as in all things, its the best of the best of any beer...period.

 

Ovila Abbey Quad brewed with plums.

 

Opened my day with Paradox Cafe Verdad - a nice coffee sour. Odd, but not as odd as I was expecting. This was followed by a Lagunitas Citrusinensis, which was really fantastic. Wine with lunch, and now I am drinking a Victory V 12. Quads are a hit or miss style for me, but this one hits. Another huge success from victory.

 

HF Ephraim, it's a big ass beer with a lot going on. It's one I'll probably never get to again, but you never know.
