What beer are you drinking now? #156

These folks got it right - last one of the night.



(I aspire for my homebrew American Barleys to be this well balanced.)

 

Now this is more like it...fantastic brew! Super hopped...tons of apricot...lil boozy. Seek it out... #FAF

Cheers!

 

I've been using different glasses for the first and second pours from bombers. Can't say I notice much of a taste or aroma difference, but I love the visual changes.

This is the second half of my Odyssey.

Here's a better pic:

Beer is smooth finishing, very fine... I know some of you will disagree, but for me, this beer edges out Trois Pistoles, Gulden Draak, and Chimay Blue... crazy, I know, right? But I really dig this beer. Like, if I had to choose just one (of the four), it'd be this one.

 

Just got done watching my kid play ball in near freezing weather with some flurries. I suspect there are few 9 year olds hating baseball right now. Torch Plisner from Foothills up first with a Hopping Frog Double Pumpkin on deck...

 

Tonights new ones:

Nice doppelbock. Too fruity overall, but still have nice malt complexity; and it has a very pleasant creamy and slick mouthfeel that many US examples lack. Enjoyable stuff.


Glassware addiction #43. Picked this up 2 weeks ago, breaking it in tonight. This is a very nice Belgian IPA. Lots of brilliant lemon and orange-y citrus notes; with well balanced Belgian spicy esters. The glass is very nice as well, beautiful appearance and rising carbonation from the center. Looking forward to the Belgian Black DIPA I also bought when I got this bottle.


Cheers

 

Dinner with some spicy peanut pork chops



I love the packaging. Hell I love the packaging on pretty much all of 21st Ammendment's brews. Inside the can is slightly less impressive, but still not bad

 

Just got back from a CBC event in DC where I had on tap: Darkness, Furious, Abrasive, Sucaba 2013, and Jai Alai. I wasn't sure what could finish off the night so I figured I would give the Mikkeller Beer Geek Brunch Weasel Calvados edition a shot. I also picked up some cans of Coffee Bender, Abrasive, and Furious. It's been a good day....

 

i can.. imo its not that great of a beer...

ill have one with ya though.. haha. one of the biggest reasons i like to drink it is because it matches my bells shades i got at a bells vip pool party with open bar.

I'm back from the san juan craft bar

No snow and bells beers = very happy loafinaround.

 

Finishing the night with:

Got a 6 of Hopstache this week, so it's time to clear these out


With Rye of the Tiger coming next week, time to drink the rest of these too.


Cheers

 

Pipeworks Smoked Porter Aged in Whiskey Barrels



Old school Pipeworks, batch 5!



Yummy sweet whiskey and smokey malt, pairs well with salty foods.
I'm enjoying it with olives and cornichon, and I'm thinking about tearing
open some potato chips.

 

I hear that beer will fuck you up!
