New Beer Sunday (week 384)

New Hefeweizen, Dubbel, and American Black Ale Sunday

good afternoon!

Forget the weather, its European Championship final day, and Im all Italian (as I always have been). It is hot as hell outside (100+), and Im on a tear of new beers lately. Earlier I had this (it was on ok Hefe, not enough yeast flavors until way late. Slightly acidic very late) http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/7753/56681/?ba=VncentLIFE

Now Im on to another. This is just wow. If it wasnt for Westy 8, this would the best Dubbel ever.

New English Bitter Sunday

Very nice HOT sunny day in Northern Utah. Got this one from Bitterbill, very tasty. Been awhile since I've had anything from this brewery. This one does not disappoint.

Cheers!

 

I just finished posting all of my reviews from yesterday's New England Brewfest in Lincoln, N.H. Of the ones I tried my favorite was Wachusett Country Pale Ale.

 

Drove out to Hill Farmstead Brewery yesterday.



Went to get some of the newly released Double Citra. Surprisingly, wasn't really what I wanted at the time, so I got a growler of Nor instead. Never tried it before, I'm on my second day. Not as carbonated, but imo just as delicious. That place is the holy grail for me.

 

Schroeder Weiss from my local Brew Pub

 

New Oatmeal Stout Sunday



Shakespeare Oatmeal Stout from Rogue; I was really looking forward to this one, but it ended up being disappointing and unbalanced.

 

Now its this. The Azzurri look as amazed by the Spanish as much as Balotelli is scared of the Spanish defense. Hello drunkenness. I opened this .
I love how it smells. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/208/674

 

New Saison Sunday (week 384)

Greetings NBS 'ers, what a beautiful day to brew a saison, which we did, and to taste a saison as well, which also we did, along with many more, This one the only new one though, and what a treat it was, wish I had another right now. Hope you have a delicious American beer in your glass. Cheers!

Had a 21st Amendment Saison. Figured that since I like their other beers I'd enjoy this one despite not knowing much about saisons, but I think I need to try other saisons that would be a better introduction to the style.

 

time to drown my Italian sorrows.

Greetings, NBSers! Beer and pretzels on me, high-5s all around!

This hot Sunday afternoon involves me boxing up some trades, listening to some music, and enjoying this new brew, which I received in trade not too long ago:

Got this chill tune on the platter, which is doing a fine job of cooling things off on this hot June afternoon:


Hope everyone else had a good weekend and will have a safe, productive, beer-laced week. Cheers!

 

German Pilsener​

Happy NBS to all...

Hot and humid here on Long Island today. I did my monthly Sunday OT at work and then went food shopping with the wife. She's preparing dinner and I'm sipping on this German Pilsener...

Another "no review" Sunday

MBC Nut Brown Ale

Making some room in the fridge by finishing off some "new to me" beer from Michigan Brewing Company. As they recently shut down, there's no formal review (just personal notes to justify my "hads" score of 3.75).

It's an easy drinker. Nutty and a little sweet. Kind of like beer nuts in liquid form. Given the opportunity, this would be part of my fall rotation. There aren't a ton of MI brown ales, and this one kind of hit the spot.

Here's what others think....

Finally finished ticking all 104 styles. That Happoshu was a bitch! Thanks to mdaschaf.

Here is my last style. The Scottish Gruit.

Congrats on getting all 104!

 

New Bière de Garde Sunday​

Today we are still topping 100 degrees in the Nashville area and I had my first beer from Jolly Pumpkin. Tart and sour, it tasted good on this sweltering summer day.

>>>>>> New DIPA Sunday <<<<<<

Hop Juice from Left Coast. A decent DIPA, drinkable, not the face puckering hop bomb some of these things can be.

Pleasant here in the great northwest. None of the scorching temperatures or horrendous thunder storms of the eastern part of the US. Of course we are known for these pesky volcanoes that blow ever 5000 years or so. ;-)

Happy (and safe) Trails!
