What beer are you drinking now? #1819

Having an Oktober Fest with lunch. Was a hell of effort to keep from popping open one of the Narwhals I scored this morning. Alas I've work to do this afternoon. Nice to know it's there at days end. Nice that the bottle shop finally got it.

Cheers all.

 

Well BA, my work week starts at 5:30pm tonight, so this is my nightcap.

First of this year's run. Bottled September 2nd and tasting great. Have a great weekend folks!

 

Another round . . .





Color of light hazy gold with white cap and lacing.

Aroma of sweet malt tinged with orange and flowery hops. Not a heavy scent, rather mild actually, yet very clean.

This is not, I repeat not, a tart white wheat ale. Far from it, the flavor is rich and smooth with rounded depth. A spicy orange flavor is prominent but carries a dryness all the way to the finish. The malt is almost caramely but that may be partly due to the orange which remains a constant throughout. Simple flavors well interwoven, in short a class act.

 

Atom: Rye DIPA on cask.

 

That would be my basement....

 

So I ask the wife if I could make her a cocktail...she says that the laundry needs hanging (most of the homes/apartments where we stay in countries we visit don't use/have dryers). I mention that it will be dark in 2 hours, so perhaps tomorrow?...lager Quattro:

 

Happy Friday from Boston, BAs! Went to Trillium at open and spent way too much money on ipas, but I just can't resist. Trillium really is the beer nerd's candy shop. So many colors and flavors! Must have them all.

Now taking a break at our airBnB, and trying this one for the first time.

If this beer were a lady, she'd be mighty fine.

 

My wife and I are celebrating our 10 wedding anniversary. Up in North Conway shopping for her and beer for me. In that glass is Clown Shoes Space, @bowzer4birdie always loves when I drink that. Cheers Friday the 13th.

 

Drinking Paulaner Oktoberfest Märzen

 

I was there a couple of weeks ago for a conference and went over to Trillium within maybe an hour of arriving. I genuinely am still amazed by how easy they make buying amazing beer. You mean that I can just walk in and walk out in 3 minutes? It’s the platonic ideal of a beer purchase.

If it’s still open and the weather isn’t too chilly, I highly recommend their beer garden. Fun vibe. Cool location. Great beer, obviously.

 

Congratulations and best wishes for many more years to come - Cheers!!

 

IIRC... This seems like a good beer to start this day:


Apparently a virtual pseudo-share with @cbcrunch ...

This is an old can, and the coffee isn’t too strong [any longer?], but it is still a nice roasty oatmeal stout.

 

Congrats. You only have 33 yrs and 331 days to catch up to me !

 

Congratulations hope you guys have fun!!

 

Congratulations, hope you find some good beer. Oh, and congratulations on the Anniversary as well. Seriously though a decade... Real congratulations.
