What beer are you drinking now? #2812

Great amp. The dirty channel has a ton of tonal variation. I love the stereo effects loop.
I have Strymon pedals that were made for it.

 

Drinking at the moment: Sunshine and Opportunity from Almanac. It's a nice beer.

Earlier, at the Bine in Bothell, I had a few nice beers as well:


Strata Local 66 from Headless Mumby. Exploring lagers is fun. This one's OK.


Splash from Structures. Great pale ale.


Block 15's Welcome Back! Pretty good IPA, but not particularly notable.

 

Keystone light after busting my arse in the heat all afternoon and evening at work. There will be several more being consumed this evening.....

 

Finishing with a Zywiec Lager. Have a great rest of your night all.

 

Yeah, totally agree! I haven't tried the stereo effects loop yet but I have a Strymon BlueSky and a Strymon Brigadier so I really need to get off my fat ass and hook it up as stereo. But they sound great just front ending the amp. I have no regrets about purchasing this amp at all, I always wanted to try an Orange and I'm glad I did.

 

Prairie/Evil Twin Bible Belt

 

Seems like I can never get through a session anymore without cracking at least one of these. Kinda like "Flo" from Progressive not making it through a commercial without mentioning insurance.

Patina Pale Ale from Austin Street Brewery of scenic Portland Maine.

Cheers.

 

Da Bastard and then I’ll call it a night so I don’t get to the point of diminishing returns knowing from experience

 

Fire Maker Brewing — Perfect Match



Third can of this over the last two days, definitely on the sweeter side, but a dry bitter finish. But definitely sweet orange/vanilla note I’m assuming from the Lotus hops. Not too shabby!

 

Hello, hello,

Only one week of shut down I guess this year due to covid19. Can't complain. The whole week is like a long holiday weekend.




CHEERS

 

Finishing the night off with an outstanding brew by oskar blues...this BA series is showing some serious potential... bring on the next!



stone cold drone groove with rare lyrics and a nice little bonus with a Pabst ad to start things off...kick it

 

Double Art Car IPA from Saint Arnold...enjoying the heck out of this one!

 

Four Peaks - Kilt Lifter

 

Back in Arkansas, finally. Nothing like getting stuck on the tarmac at the DFW Airport for two hours, due passing T-Storms. For a 50 minute flight to Tulsa

New Province Zwinger Dry Hopped Gose

 

Got my kick-ass Beer Advocate teku glass yesterday, and am loving it.

Very versatile, style-wise.

 

I'm not sure what's worse, the head on that beer or the Cardinal's record over the past how many years! @russpowell

 

Chillen drinking beer with a racoon that is just smacking it's lips on the bird seed.

 

I was so stoked when they came out with this. The original was really good, and the double lived up to the hype I built up in my mind.

 

Fair enough, and just trying to promote good karma for seeing NFL football this year. The Cards may be on the rise though; keeping my fingers crossed!

 

Earlier beer in the pool after dragging the kids around the neighborhood in the wagon. Phase One by Phase Three.
Drinking this now before an early bedtime. Have to go into the office tomorrow to be the manager on duty. Lucky me.

My brother and I were discussing this movie and its music earlier. I think it’s a masterpiece, and the music isn’t far behind.

 

Eagle Park Grandmaster courtesy of @Danmullens1 thank you sir ! Cheers !

 

TRASH PANDA BIRD SEED THIEF!!!

 

Dedicating this beer to @Mister_Faucher - this place, BA, ain’t that bad!

This is an awesome craft beer attempt at an American Adjunct Lager! So tasty and clean, with just a hint of sweetness. Really good.

Chapman Crafted Corn In The USA:


FaceTimed with a good friend from back in the day who now lives in Argentina - good chat. They are in the midst of the COVID battle just like the rest of us.

I also sent a message to a girl I went to elementary school with who got deported back to New Zealand (BENEE’s homeland). She is seeing here on NYE. If things get better, should AJ make the plunge? Seems like a beautiful country.

Now of course it’s going to be a BENEE night:

 

We went from using cheap birdsead to something very marginally more expensive and have had a lot more woodpeckers and elusive birds this year. I guess the trash panda is also down with the new mix.

 

Sand City’s newest big boy...a 10.2% IIPA. Looks a little off, but fortunately tastes pretty great. Really smooth. Has kind of a citric effervescence to it.
One-and-done, have to be up at 6:30 for another 16 hour day. My last 3 weeks...56, 56 and 64 hours worked. Much earned 3-day weekend starts at exactly this time tomorrow.

 

3 things I'm digging right now.
Local beer.
Local food *not pictured* (salsa and chips both locally made)
Local music.



CHEERS


Some late '90s early '00 angst music

 

Hot tub time, Avery Double Hazy IPA

 

@RobTheKnob What's in that 3 Nations growler??

 

Currently empty, but I plan on hitting them up tomorrow. I live close and have been doing my best to help keep them afloat the past several months. Their beer is so good.

Had this earlier, and I'd like to compare the can vs draft.

 

Getting into a new one from Vanguard..





Cheers, LNBAs!

 

@RobTheKnob
This is my first try...I'm impressed!
Supposed to be a White Chocolate version of Devout available tomorrow as the "Small Batch" offering.

 

'Small Batch Friday' is the shit. Thanks for mentioning that release. I was unaware of it, but anything in the Devout series is worthy. I'll have to bring extra growlers.

 

Cheers LNBA’s. Big thanks to @jrc1093 for knocking down one of the original whalez on my list.

 

Straight up banger right here, BA.

Cellarmaker Checks The Boxes Pale Ale:

More BENEEEEEEEEEE:

 

Stone Buenaveza Salt & Lime Lager with a Woodford Small Batch #0743 Bourbon as a side car. My, closer. This lager is solid and would've gone down a treat in the hellishly hot Florida Straights. Happy to be back to lows in the 60s/70s!



Getting in the hot tub was a shock, once my sun burnt front legs met 104 degree water, penance for omitting sunscreen

 

Officially starting off the holiday weekend!

 

Tonight:

 

Thanks for the question. Decoction mashing is a time-consuming way of doing it. The first and only time I did a triple decoction, it took 4.5 hours. The beer style was a Dunkel. The Malt character produced by the decoction hit this style correctly.

After that, and I mostly did single decoctions and an occasional double. Having been to Germany at least four times, I knew that proper character of most German beers required a different approach and perhaps different barley malt than I was getting in Seattle.
