What beer are you drinking now? #3745

Bonjour! Amsterdam is a fun place but it's been a while for me. The Van Gogh museum is a true pleasure. That La Trappe drinks like a very nice glass of wine. It is a vinous beer in the best sense. I sold these Trappist ales for years and loved their smooth subtlety.

 

Good morning,
fresh and pleasant drink before lunch with one of my favorite Italian blanches:

MC 77 (Serrapetrona, Marche, ITA) - FLEUR SOFRONIA - Blanche with hibiscus flowers (5%)

I've already reviewed and shared it multiple times...
https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/51983/522591/?ba=Jack_14#lists
I'll just say, in excellent shape as usual and definitely satisfying even for someone who isn't really into this style.
But this is a variant that I really find very interesting and valid.
Perhaps, the best blanche of an Italian brewery.



Slàinte !
Cheers !

 

I couldn’t think of a better beer to jump start the weekend. Cheers all.

 

Good day BAs! Thanks @Shanex for starting us off today - A-dam (at least 20 years ago) was a fascinating city - I enjoyed the museums and the food - I think most art museums in the world have one of Van Gogh's Sunflowers hanging somewhere although I think I like a Starry Night slightly better.

Today's New Breakfast Beer is another from the BA Extreme Stout 2022 box:



To my taste, seems very artificial and chemically, only the cacao seems real. Rating 3.57, rDev -17.2%

 

COOL!

 

The Van Gogh is one of the best art museums - Cheers!

 

Good Day BAs! Thanks @Shanex for the opening and the pics from Amsterdam. I can’t wait to go back! Another gloomy morning here in Sunshine City…usual chores done…coffee today is FBS:



Bottled 12/2/22. Poured at 52°. I’ve some errands to run today, then a brewery visit this afternoon with a buddy. Cheers and have a great day y’all!

 

The public demands photos. Hopefully you can combine the getaway with some brewery visits? Enjoy!

 

Happy Saturday BA's!
Starting with a interesting and unique Allagash From Maine, With Love #20: Strong Pale Ale with Rice Koji.



Cheers!

 

Totally understood! Never been there but it's on my list so I can visit Sacred Profane. I hope you enjoy your stay there!

 

Free Will Coffee Ralphius with a very locally sourced boudin roll on a rainy Saturday morning. God blesses me!

 

Lollipop Cherry Crumb Pie 6% and as tasty as it looks.

 

G'day all!

Gosh, I dig this Czech Dark Lager. Canned November 21st and so much flavour in a 5%abv brew.

Prost!

Ps: from Beer Drop.

 

Brand Dubbelbock.
Like yesterday, and the day before, since it is the only option on tap besides Heineken. Plenty other bottles by the way. I'll have some of those later.
Cheers

 

Morning hike in - veggie chili cooking away for lunch...time for some hazy hops...NA style

 

Great to see this beer in de opening post. And good to hear you experience the positive parts of Amsterdam Looking forward to a return visit to Paris myself.
Cheers!

 

Lunch with home brewed Amber Saison
Do good
Be well

cheers!!

 

Did the first bike ride of the year. Finally a day without rain or a lot of wind. Now time for a beer with escargots. Cheers

 

Nothing to complain about here.

 

Hey, BA!

Founders Porter watching the Cuse bball game



I feel like I sleep on this beer. Great example of the style IMO

cheers~

 

Toppling Goliath - Term Oil Intelligentsia Coffee

cheers!!

 

Happy Saturday BA's! Off today so I slept in til 0700 and have been wiping out chores since. The wife decided that she wanted all the switches and outlets in the house changed from white to black, so I just finished the last bedroom. Well it's the end of bloody mary #2 and a pour of Camazotz's imperial stout from Cigar City Brewing. Last year at Hunaphu day we got 2 of these and 2 cans of Hunaphu. At least Cigar City listened to their customers and packages Hunaphu back in bottles this year.

 

I am very jealous of @Luscious_Malfoy right now, however I am still quite fortunate to be able to attend Central Waters Brewing's 25th anniversary party next Saturday in Amherst, WI. Right now I am drinking Cassian Sunset. On Monday I went to their location in Milwaukee, WI. I posted a picture on WBAYDN of my first beer there, but then I started chatting with people and did not post any more pictures. I had quite a few beers. Here is a picture of Silky Way. The picture shows how the new location is downtown in a major city. Their original location is in the middle if nowhere. Both locations provide a unique experience. I think they are equally impressive in their own way.

 

Mornin' Delight 2019 is the perfect way to pregame for the St. Cloud Craft Beer Tour.

 

Cheers y'all!

Celebrator dopplebock - Ayinger

 

I'm not a big art snob, but Van Gogh...love his art.
At Eternity's Gate with Willem Dafoe was a great movie too.

 

Toppling Goliath - Fire Stoker (BA Smoked Maple Imperial Porter)

cheers!!

and no, i won’t post this in the imperial stout thread

 

Grabbed those Zundert beers somewhat last minute. Thought you should try it. Zundert, being the birthplace of Van Gogh makes a nice connection too.
I'm still about 20 minutes NW of Amsterdam. Returning home on Sunday after visiting family around here.
Cheers!

 

G'afternoon BA's!

Our daughter and her girlfriend came out last night to spend the weekend. Always nice to see them.
Morning grocery shopping completed, replaced the exhaust duct for the dryer...time for a beer! Pregaming before a late lunch/early dinner..

Gonna enjoy the old school Fat Tire before it's all gone.





Cheers!

 

At Kuhnhenn picking up Solstice orders. Let them Eat Cake 4th D and a cocktail for the wife.

 

Thank you for that post. I had forgotten how beautiful that tune really is. It is a treasure in our collective sonic memory....Our family went to D.C. in '99 to see the Van Gogh exhibit at The National Gallery and it was really cold in that long line. A great family experience...

 

6.8% from Exeter Brewing NH. Really a tasty NEIPA.

 

At Oakflower Brewing drinking Morava a Czech Pale Lager nice brew.
