Kicking off the weekend with this New Belgium Voodoo Ranger Hop Raider IPA. Classic piney IPA.

Tonight’s Blind Battle Beer Tasting Lineup:

1) Deschutes Jubelale (6.7%): A Winter Warmer from Oregon that has flavors of toasted cocoa, roasted pine, cinnamon, and bread spice. A bitter finish.
versus
2) Breckenridge Christmas Ale (7.1%): A Winter Warmer from Colorado with flavors of brown bread, molasses, brown sugar. Clean and leans dry.
versus
3) Bells’ Christmas Ale (7.5%): A Scotch ale from Michigan with flavors of smooth caramel, brown sugar, maple syrup, molasses, and booze. Sweet.

4) Equilibrium Hubble Palate (8.0% canned 8/10/22): A NEIPA from NY with flavors of tart grapefruit citrus, mango flesh, pineapple with some tart and funky yeast.
versus
5) Equilibrium To Space We Go (8.0% canned 5/19/22): A NEIPA from NY with Mosaic and Strata for flavors of green mango skins and mango flesh and tropical pineapple. Sweet.
(all beers correctly matched blind)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Winners:

1) Deschutes Jubelale: This one has impressed me more than previous years. It has a toasted cocoa and roasty, bitter pine note to it. Holiday ales sure seem to vary widely by taste and style. I think this one hits just right. Sort of like a darker and slightly roasty version of Celebration.

5) Equilibrium To Space We Go: Older, but one of my favorites from EQ. Shows the Strata hole well with tons of green mango skin and flesh. Fantastic stuff from Equilibrium, and digging the beer names.

 

Destihl Dead Head IPA at The Lodge..... Christmas lights in Ocala....

 

Cheers y'all!

Large can of Arrogant Bastard...

I'm at Buck Bald Brewing in beautiful downtown Murphy NC drinking a Party On The Patio Porter, it's described as Dark and toasty with a touch of Molasses.
I'd say that is a little understated, roasty, spicy, sweet, hints of vanilla and chocolate, soft mouth feel and little bite on the back of my palate.
A very nice example of a Porter and I can't wait to have another one.
Cheers!

 

Phase Three - P3 Czech-Style Pils

cheers!!

 

Excellent Festbier from Athens, GA's Akademia. I'll be in Athens a week from tonight to see Cannibal Corpse. Early Christmas party!

 

Hey all - long week.
FRIDAY!

A little Breakside Wanderlust IPA to break-up this here monotony.

Cheers!

Second Costco advent beer which is very good

 

Honing this Stone Tangerine Express Hazy IPA from the 12 Days variety pk. Not reeeealy fresh but enjoy by dated 1/12/23 and in this case (12pk), free beer is my favorite kind. Tastes better than it looks. I dislike the way it looks. Cheers!


I love this entire album.

 

Crushing an Elephant, an old favorite import, and remembering all of the old favorites that have now been lost to the sands of time…



The moral to this story?

“Live your youth, and mind your liver.”

Cheers!

 

Cheers to the weekend BA!

 

Still decorating. Tree House Alter Ego. Think this is a Julius variant but haven't had Julius in a while so can't compare. Pretty dang good regardless. Middle kid's hands photobombing the pic. Cheers!

 

Getting to start the weekend at Miskatonic with their wild ale, Pomona, with pear and cinnamon.

 

And IPA and sour from Arvon before dinner. Let’s enjoy what we got tonight BA’a.

 

2013 Double Bastard I grabbed last month.11/21/2022 to be exact

 

I have since learned they are also found in Georgia, New Mexico, Brazil and Switzerland. But SW Virginia is the best place to find them. I have found many through the years.

Prost BA's!

 

What's going on, BAs?

Drinking a very unusual beer from Burial (collaboration with Fair State). It's not a hazy IPA, it's not a 15% ABV Pastry Stout. It's a 4.2% ABV Czech Dark Lager.



This is outstanding!

I've been saying and I'll keep saying: "We need more of well-made Czech Dark Lagers, Schwarzbiers and English Dark Milds!"



Cheers!
