What beer are you drinking now? #2953

Hey BA’s
First time for me having anything from Kings County Brewers Collective. It won’t be the last, it’s loaded with 5 different hops, barley, wheat and oats. Hops are Citra, Mosaic, Idaho7, Centennial and Cascade. It’s a mouthful and a nicely balanced easy drinking IPA. When I opened it my wife said phew that stinks, I knew then it was going to be good.

I made blackened steelhead and shrimp salads for dinner. They tasted great but I need to work on my presentation skills.

 

This is another “Beer of the Month” beer from my boss, and it is probably better now than it was a couple of weeks ago when I first had it, which is illogical, given its age (I’m thinking the latest it was canned was late September) and the hop profile (Citra/Mosaic/Nugget/Chinook). Juicy juice.



Ranger can’t decide whether he wants to maul his pillow or his Christmas dinosaur. He also thinks we should convert all beer into Frosty Paws.

 

Did you wait 24 hours to open the box?

 

I just lost one of those mugs this week. Was part of a 12 glass casualty when I was looking for a glass in

 

Punching above your weight class here.

 

Love you too Jeff. Even though you’re much uglier than Greg Giraldo.

 

Of course

 

Friday begins for me. Finally.
Cumbre Gilded Age Porter. Damn straight. Cheers!

 

Goose island 2020 Kentucky fog bcbs. Someone didn’t get the note to hold these until Black Friday.

 

Holla at @adrock314 for this Yuengling/Hershey's Chocolate Porter. Pleasant enough, but not a thrill either. Glad for try!

 

Love theGhost Flame in each image.
So well done

TGIF!

 

The holidays are gonna SUCK
but your beer doesn't have to.....wait, what?

 

Happy Friday BA!

 

Poured a few fingers of beam and a beer before pizza making, dough resting.



Have a great Friday night

 

Was so looking forward to having this...

And, man, does it deliver...

New Killer Be Killed album dropped today but so did Hjelvik...

--> Erlend Hjelvik was the lead singer for Kvelertak on their first three albums...

Once I saw Hjelvik had a song titled, "The Power Ballad of Freyr" it hadda get first listen... lol

--> *haven't stopped listening to it yet*

Yeah, so Freyr is Freya's brother, and something of a big deal in Norse mythology. Everyone liked him. He brought them fertility and peace and prosperity, also had a big dick and had sex with lots of things, including Freya - don't worry, gods do this all the time... Less humorously, he fell in love with a jötunn (mythical race, often misidentified as "giants" although that is not really accurate) - and to be with her he has to give away his sword, a powerful weapon that could fight for itself... He and the missus are a Hollywood-level god couple in their time, but Freyr cannot and does not survive Ragnarök without the sword he gave away in order to be with her... *now that is poetic*

Album is excellent - assuming you dig on Erlend's vocal style and Norse themes...


Very guitar-driven, employing smooth, classic heavy metal riffs and solos...

Other guys in the band are unfamiliar to me, but it's a solid group - sound like Maiden, Amon Amarth, and Kvelertak rolled into one... (full album here...)

Happy Freyr's Day, BA...

 

If Eagle Park Brewing made their beers available consistently in stores in my area, I would probably spend 83% of my beer money on their IPAs!

 

Hopadillo IPA. It's malty, hoppy and good.

 

ODD Muse Brewing (Farmers Branch, TX) Sluggish Ruggish Bone Imperial IPA - I have enjoyed several excellent beer from this brewery. If you find yourself in the northern part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, I recommend stopping by the brewery.

 

Been drinking my way through some boxes of West Coast goodness that @bret27 sent me earlier this month, but he went and snuck one of these in here:



This is really good but I don't know if it's 4.52-on-Untappd good. If it is, then I need to be trading some New Trail beers with some of y'all.

 

Cheers!!

 

Congratulations!

 

I always enjoy this one.

 

O'Connor Ibrik BBA Imperial Turkish Coffee Stout. Happy Friday.

 

3 Sheeps Wet Coast. Still tasting great.

Last beer to "myself" before I do a virtual beer club meeting with some long-distance friends of mine...



Hubbard's Cave Fresh One Hop Citra (canned 10/28/20)... not awful, but not great. Have had better, even in this series. Cheers, regardless!

Review here!

 

That’s better looking glassware in the trash then I have in my cabinet

 

Thanks! We've been retired since September but finally got all our paperwork to get our retired ID cards. It's good!

 

I drank that ALL the time when we lived in McKinney. After Yellow Rose, my favorite Texas IPA, followed closely by Deep Ellum IPA.

 

Everything about your post looks amazing! The wife is working on salads with grilled chicken for our dinner. Cheers!

 

Nicely put. Cheers

 

Its Friday, ergo I shall drink these





Easily my fave band outside metal and hardcore

 

My last Doom Sauce, compliments of @micada . Looking forward to securing some of this again next year. The base beer is Lord Hobo's Boom Sauce which I understand is pretty good too.


Accompanied by Shinedown's "Boom-Lay Boom-Lay Boom". Great song, unfortunately paired with a forgettable Stallone movie.

 

#2, after careful consideration, I think this is Bell’s’ best beer, IMHO. Given their lineup (Two Hearted and Hopslam and Oberon, anyone?), that’s saying something. What a magnificent beer this is.

 

Thank you Sir. Her’s will be better

 

I had 18-Watt from Singlecut a few weeks back. Excellent.
