What beer are you drinking now? #1328

Loved that album from Knopfler and Emmylou, cheers.

 

Yeah-no doubt their explanation is at least partially true, but the specific regularity is suspect. Regardless, the relatively slow response to a fix would be more disconcerting than the actual cause, I would think. But I deal with parallels at work enough to leave it there and will simply be happy to now rate my last beer.

 

I hear ya. Frustrating. I was in the IT business for over 20 years. Although not an IT person (sorry, just a numbers accountant), we had to deal with frustrated clients. Between you and me, I can afford, perhaps like not most folks, to pay a small monthly fee for better service. Dare I say it, there are evenings, seems it happens then, that I just want to walk away.

 

Bottle share at @oach's. Outside, so pictures will get darker.

One of our host's homebrew - IPA with Mandarina Bavaria and Huell Melon hops. Two weeks, this should kick ass.


My contribution for the night.

 

Third of the Firestone Walker Jack series... Wookey Jack. Don't really have a favorite, they all have something different to offer. But Union Jack was the easiest drinking one.

 

Another Melvin collab but not the 3-way... Starts with beer ends with camp.

 

One last Puff...until next time. Cheers!

 

Sun is breaking through. Boneyard - Incredible Pulp. Such a refreshing beer.

 

Going big on the next one; Clown Shoes Bluegrass Billionaire, it was one of those kind of days at work

 

Drinking a Funky Buddha Hop Stimulator. Cheers!

 

Ska: Modus Hoperandi


Looking forward to tomorrow nights show.

 

Watching hockey on DVR so no catching up on posts until I finish, cheers!

 

So I'm drunk and have been trying to post a pic forever. Thought it was my internet but apparently this has been happening a lot. No more beer just Mezcal and Rye. And my fire pit from a couple hours ago sorry.



And some Maynard

 

Dark Horse Crooked Tree IPA.
Cheers LNBA!

 

Paulaner - Salvator

The original doppelbock. Very good, but not at the same level as Celebrator in my opinion





Cheers

 

Nice fruit beer. Flavors of juicy watermelon, berry, guava, apricot, apple, honey, and bread; with some light herbal/grassy/peppery hops. Light herbal/spicy bitterness and fruit tartness on the finish. Light-medium bodied; with some light creaminess, fruit acidity, and hop stickiness in the mouthfeel. Light-moderate dryness. Very refreshing with a lot of nice authentic watermelon notes. Similar to the New Belgium Heavy Melon a bit; but this has a more malt character and sweetness. Feels more like a standard pale ale in malt balance and hop bitterness, alongside the fruits. Would definitely grab again.


Really damn good Coffee IPA. Flavors of big roasted coffee, grapefruit, lemon zest, orange peel, pineapple, mango, citrus rind, and pine; with some light caramel/toasted bread malt; with floral/grassy hop earthiness and light chocolate/vanilla notes from the coffee. Moderate pine/rind and light roasted coffee bitterness; with a sticky/resinous mouthfeel; with some light chalkiness and bready creaminess. Moderate increasing bitter dryness; with zero hop or coffee astringency after the finish. Extremely well balanced between the coffee and hop flavors. I will definitely be grabbing this again. Bottled in January but still tastes completely delicious.


Outstanding brown as usual. Flavors of big caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, toffee, toasted oats, brown bread, and chocolate; with light nuttiness, bourbon, and oak. Light herbal hop bitterness and bourbon/oak spiciness on the finish. Great creamy medium body. Highly drinkable. I love this one so much, because it has a ton of great barrel influenced character(vanilla/toffee), without any boozy bourbon notes going on. Highly attainable off the shelf now, and they just started canning it too. Will be getting many more soon.


Tasting incredible as usual. Huge juicy mango, melon, papaya, berry, pineapple, grapefruit, tangerine, orange peel, citrus rind, and pine hops; with moderate honey, bread, light caramel malt sweetness; and herbal/floral/grassy hop earthiness. Good sized pine/rind/spicy bitterness; with a medium-full bodied sticky/resin and creamy mouthfeel; with a touch of slickness. Moderate dryness with zero hop astringency. Mildly warming ABV. Last of my 4 pack, consistently amazing every single year.


Cheers

 

Founders Porter. Jumped in my cart at $6.99 a six.
Cheers!

 

Staining some bad spots on furniture and I was too lazy to find my gloves so I shoved my hands into wifeys. Finishing off the Hop Stoooooopid. Cheers!

 

Proper hotel glassware. This is a pretty darned good tripel.
