What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #3492

Sage advice!

My beer tonight is Hawkers' Saison. Hawkers are from the suburb of Reservoir in Melbourne, Australia, founded by a guy who also founded the Middle East's first craft brewery, 961, in Beirut in Lebanon. So quite the entrepreneurial journey!

The beer is quite nice, very dry and refreshing.



Cheers to all, and have a great weekend!

 

Good morning all, some good and some bad indeed.

Sadly have learned about the passing of an old friend and then colleague of my mother this morning, she also became a friend for me as I was growing up. Last time I could talk to her was on the phone while she was hospitalized. Apparently she died in her sleep.

So I’ll raise a toast today to her; Christiane T.




And a homage to her one last time here on BA, photo from a couple of years ago sharing something she also enjoyed: a Belgian blonde:



Santé…

 

Good Morning BAs.



Starting off today with an old favorite. Kona's Longboard Lager.



Cheers Y'all. And be on the lookout for Jason.

 

Happy Friday! Got the day off. Just exercised my right to vote in the GA primary. Starting with an Ironshield Lorelei Hefe. Very tasty. Then headed to check out Good Word Brewing. Never been there, so looking forward to it. Cheers!

 

Sorry for your loss, @Shanex.

Jr has his last school concert of the year this afternoon, so I’m working from home today and hoping the baby brings me good luck on this Friday the 13th.

I’ve been listening to a lot of this band this week.


Happy Friday, advocates!

 

Morning!
Enjoying a nice pilsner as I load the truck. Heading out to cut firewood and scout hunting areas in the Black Hills.



Pin Seeker Pilsner
Fair State / Humble Forager collaboration.
Cheers!

 

Happy Friday the 13th BA's

Another beautiful spring day in NE Ohio land....low 80s and low humidity is something I could get used to! Got in a walk earlier and sold another bike from the collection this morning too....

Enjoying this locally produced delight....

 

That beer looks really good! Still too early for me even though I have the day off. I'll be back later on with beer in hand. Enjoy!

 

Outer Light Brewing Co. -- Whiskey Business
Sour ale aged in whiskey barrels with lemon and cherries addes
ABV: 8.5%; pouring temperature: 42 °F; canning info: none seen
Source: @Roguer (BIF #15)



4.29/5 rDev +0.5%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.25

Medium amber body topped with a thick, frothy head; splotchy patches of foam stick to the glass. Gentle fruit aroma; grape, orange and lemon; very light wood mustiness. Very tart and juicy taste; lemon drops and sweet cherries; touch of whiskey in the background. Medium body; acidic and mouth watering.

This outstanding sour ale exudes mouthwatering goodness. Yes, it is sour but not extremely intense. The whiskey barrel aging is pretty low-key yet does provide a bit of offset to the lemon and cherry character. Well-crafted and very approachable.

 

Brewdog VS Mikkeller Urban Fog.
No fog at our rooftop terrace this late afternoon.
Cheers

 

...ah, yes, those cycles of life...condolences for the loss to you family...I'll raise a glass to Christiane later today...

 

Post PT beer at the pub, from my share bag - Common Roots’ Chasing Night, a Schwarzbier:



Roasty chocolate malt. Light and very enjoyable. Cheers y’all!

 

Hello Advocates! Great to be here! Thanks @RaulMondesi for todays thread. The past week has been chaos for me. Goofus Interuptus daisy chained all week. Lost electricity Wed night in a storm for 19 hrs. Came back on yesterday at about 5:30. Then internet & cable were out for 12 hrs in yet another bad storm last night. At least all the contractors are done, we got rain and my little gas generator was perfect. No loss of fridge/freezer items because the house can run on gasoline! So, to usher in this Friday the 13th today I shot hoops for 1 hr & I'm having my last Stone 25th Anniversary Triple IPA. 12.5% ABV Purchased a 6pk 10/19/21 for $15.99. A very incredible TIPA. Cheers!

 

Well folks, if you are ever in Atlanta and want to go to a brewpub that make excellent classic beers Goodword Brewing & Public House in Duluth is THE place to go. Just finished a flight of exceptional beers. My favorites in order (and it was a tough choice).

1. These Are The Days Kolsch 4.7
2. A Troubadour Speaks German Pilsner 4.9
3. Analog Life Dark Mild 3.6
4. No Wooden Shoes Amber Lager 3.5

That Dark Mild was tremendous btw.

Left to right: Kolsch, German Pils, English Mild, Amber Lager

 

And this is the ridiculously tasty Helles the server just place in front of me. Look at the head on that puppy!

 

Drinking Modelo Negra



I used to live in a room full of mirrors, all I could see was me

 

One for the road - Finback’s “Smooth Beats Miami” a coconut IPA collab JWB:



Good coconut nose and taste. Change of pace from my preferred citrus or tropical fruit. Cheers gang!

 

I am enjoying a Cosmic Cantina DIPA 8.5% - Celestial Beer Works
Cheers y'all!

 

Jumping in early on the Dark Lager tasting, hope you are able to join us this weekend!

Goldfinger, Niteglow & Sugar Creek Malt Company Collaboration - Czech-Style Dark Lager



My Dark Lager treatment linked here. Bottom line is this is a good beer, but I like less sweet versions including Dovetail's take on this style.

Two live performances featured in the overnight set on WDCB.

Non jazz fans may recognize this tune (Gangster's Paradise)

Trinity Brewing Co. -- F-Bomb
American pale ale
ABV: 5.6%



A SMaSH pale ale utizing Falcone's Flight hops (no mention of the malt used).

 

80+ degrees here so I think it's a good time for a beer. Haven't had this one in a while and very easy to drink.

 

Brewdog Triple Hazy. For practical reasons this has to be my last beer for this Friday
Cheers all!

 

Great Hendrix clip! Not seen it before.
Awesome glass too. Still need to me get one of those. These glasses look great with anything but Coors Light in it
Cheers

 

Heady Topper
The Alchemist

 

Michelob Ultra pure gold

 

Finishing this one off. Just put some spicy jalapeno-thai chilie Bolognese sauce in the oven for dinner. Based on @Eddiehop 's excellent recipe. I just added a chopped up jalapeno and about 6 dried Thai chilies. Going to experiment with some egg based Pappardelle to see how it affects my blood sugar vs the Barilla Protein+. They have similar nutritional profiles.

 

Cross posting this beer from the dark lager tasting thread. Rhinegeist Steve, a black lager.


Cheers!

 

Okay, the markets did a bounce back today and buying on the dip last night will hopefully make me some good money. Hopefully.

Time for a starter beer.



Prost!!

 

Cheers!

 

Today is the day! Before the pandemic we tried the four from the variant box my friend had bought, now today we try my box which has been aging in my cellar. Should be fun to compare to our pre-pandemic notes. Cheers!

 

I just realized that may be confusing. Those are the ABV's not my ratings!

 

Drinking SN Atomic Torpedo



@Beer-Panda I had never seen that Hendrix clip before either. The Coors Light glass really is one of my favorites, unfortunately the mountains don't turn blue anymore so I'm never sure if my beer is cold

 

Baxter cold IPA from Fremont

 

Great tune!

 

Great tune!

 

Mighty fine looking beer.

 

Great song!

 

You already know. Big thank you to @Beersnake1 for the 2022 BA Speedway notice. Gonna drown in some this weekend. For noe...old faithful

 

Hoppy Friday! Old World Alt at Fat Heads. More hoppiness coming. Cheers!
