Independence Day Beer Lineup

Victory Hop Devil,Summer Love and Sierra Nevada Torpedo

 

Plan on kicking a keg of a homebrewed Nelson Sauvin IPA, followed by copious amounts of Cream Ale and Kolsch. Maybe finish off the night big with a La Chouffe and Trade Winds.

 

I think I'm going to keep it simple and pound Boston Lager most of the day.

 

Here is my lineup in no particular order
Central Waters BB stout
Love child #3
Wild Dog BB gonzo imperial porter
TG Assassin
And a IP trade of 2 bottles of KBS for 2 bottles of Bells Blacknote

 

Planning to get together with some friends, catch up, and share some beers. It's looking like we'll be enjoying some combination of Heady Topper, Gandhi-Bot, Devil Dancer, and Double Jack. I have some other IPAs around to mix in, but to be honest I probably couldn't drink a full bottle/can of the first 4 I listed in a day before killing my palette. I'll probably skip the HT and save 'em for the weekend.

 

This is exactly what I have ready to go for tomorrow lol

 

A bomber of Stone Ruinten
a can of Heady Topper
and two or three Karbach Love Street Summer in between, before/after...

All the while I'll be smoking three racks of pork spare ribs.

 

I could stare at this all day. Yum.

 

Fars I kno strait up racer cinco

 

Bringing the following to my brother's 4th party tomorrow:

6pk of Great Lakes Wright Pils
4pk of Founders Rubaeus
2 bottles of Weihenstephaner VITUS

 

I'll probably use tomorrow as an excuse to pick up some thematically appropriate beers that I either haven't tried or haven't had in a while. Probably a few from this list, depending on what's on the shelves and what I'm in the mood for.

Anchor Liberty (duh)
Sam Adams Boston Lager (can't believe I've never had this one)
Brew Free or Die
Founders KBS (Founders/founding fathers-get it? Also, what's more American than bourbon?)
Arrogant Bastard (America fuck yeah!)
Alesmith Yulesmith
SNPA (THE quintessential American craft beer in my book)

 

I'll have a few Augustiner Lagerbier Hell in the park this evening, maybe some Brooklyn, and if I can find a couple Torpedoes I'll grab those too. No fireworks of course though. People will probably wonder why the two of us are getting drunk in lawn chairs on a thursday afternoon.

 

throwing a sours n stouts BBQ with another BA where i've asked everyone to bring a bottle of each and a side/something to share. i have four big slabs of pork ribs, he's got a big meat and cheese spread, others are bringing sides and desserts. i'm bringing 3F Intense Red and Mexican Cake, will probably grab a few others as well.

If i had to make a rough guess of what i might see tomorrow...
Peche n Brett
Fantasia
Super Nebula
Block 15 sours, probably Framboise White, Strawberry Fields, Demon's Farm, and (hopefully) Golden Canary
Abyss 2012, probably other vintages
Black Butte XXV, probably other vintages
Blend Love and/or Blend Edmunds
Cascade Apricot, Kriek, and Strawberry
Crux Tough Love
Love Child #3
growlers from deGarde
Avery and Crooked Stave bottles
a few Cantillon and 3F

looks like i'll have to take a pic of the aftermath and compare

 

Going to be bringing these along w/me to the annual cook-out...

and...

 

I've got a 30 pack of Genny Creams -

 

Ruinten
Devil Dancer
Arctic Panzer
A few Zombie Dust
And some local Flat 12 Walk About pale, to support the local brewery.

'Merica!

 

Went out yesterday to grab Geary's summer ale .Store was out so I grabbed a 12 pack of Brooklyn summer ale in cans. Simple easy drinking for hot weather.

 

You are a winner!

 

I have a growler of Peekskill Amazeballs. Can't wait to pop it open!

 

July 4th tends to be a LONG holiday day for many people.

I have a RuinTen bomber which I'll share with a friend at lunch time, while I'm still smoking ribs.


When I start the grill at 11 am I'll pop open a Karbach Love Street Summer.

Then with my ribs and fireworks I'll have one or two Heady Toppers.

It can all be spaced out and enjoyed... I'd hate to pound all of those in a row early in the day. I wouldn't remember to pull the ribs off my smoker!
