What beer are you drinking now? #3748

Drinking Jack’s Abby Shipping Out Of Boston. The town had my mailbox replaced by 8 this morning

 

Good day BAs! Thanks @Shanex for starting today's thread - you can't go wrong with Chimay!

Today's New Breakfast Beer:



So far, this is the best tasting beer from the BA Extreme Beer Box (4 to go, saving Paraboloid for last) - coconut, coffee, undetectable peanut butter (Thank Dog!). It's also my first from Finback Brewery and leaves me wanting more! Delicious!
Rating 4.37, rDev +2.6%

And here's the photo that goes with yesterday's New Breakfast Beer:



Now I'll post this and see what actually shows up!

 

Fat Head's - Hippy Sippy Imperial Stout (can).. cheers!

 

Biėre du Vexin (France). Thanks @Shanex ! Love this style.
Cheers all

 

I like it. Reminds me of some artisanal beers I've had near the Belgian French border and the area of Poperinge.

Once I had a leaking can (and garlic oily olives too, to make things worse) in my backpack. Best is to rinse it out with soapy water in a bathtub, shower or large sink and leave it outside to dry.

Looking forward to have some 3 Monts together in France someday.

Cheers

 

I found this lurking in the back of my beer fridge.

 

Veltins @ Veltins Arena Gelsenkirchen

Glück Auf!

Prost!

 

Good day All!

So Stout is proposed for breakfast! I got a good one right here that gave me a little silly buzz face at noon.
Maybe I’ll leave the last couple of pulls as a “shower beer”. See how that goes.,. Cheeeeeeers!

Sleaford Mods!

 

Good morning, all! I stopped in at the bottle shop earlier and ran across this pleasant little surprise at the growler fill station: They Call Me Joy, an imperial (14.5% ABV) barrel aged (9 months in Heaven Hill barrels) stout from Tellurian Brewing, Charles City, IA. Brewed with vanilla beans, toasted almonds, and toasted coconut. Truth be told, I couldn't get the money out of my pocket fast enough. This is flavorful enough to bring to mind an Almond Joy bar, but without the attendent sweetness. My only problem with this is deciding whether to drink the whole crowler at once or to save some for later. Yeah, I know. Third-world problems, yadda, yadda, yadda...

Starting light



EVERY SINGLE TIME i start my day with an Imperial Stout , BA Imperial Stout, Strong Ale or anything over 7% my day turns to shit ( in relation to how i feel physically) . I sometimes forget that beer is bad for your body.

This is a trial run to see if starting with a lower ABV changes anything .

 

I've been watching your posts regarding the box and just waiting for you to try Paraboloid . IM(W)O the only good beer in the box .

W = Worthless

 

Sounds like a lot of fun, except for the whole "losing 0-4 at halftime" thing. I hope Schalke makes the game more interesting in the second half.

 

Cheers y'all!

Weihenstephaner original premium

 

I started out with the Wake Up WWS - so for the only extreme box beer I've had - extreme coffee and extreme ethanol - the rest have been OK but not really extreme, just impy stouts. I'm not a fan of peanut butter in my beer - fortunately so far the ones from the box have been pretty easy on the PB. I started off saving Paraboloid for last, so I should hit it this weekend - just in time for NBW.

cheers!!

 

Hey BA's

Happy sunny Tuesday - big storm brewing for tonight - through Thursday with a fair bit of snow / ice forecasted - fun times!

Just getting ready to get in hike # 2 with a friend...

This first.....



the view currently from the Boathaus....

 

Kwaremont 0.3. Belgian (very) light blonde.
Cheers

 

The weather has been mild for a week, but more snow and cold is in the forecast.
Today's lunch beer a favorite. Wish I could find some closer than Colorado.



Blind Pig IPA
Russian River Brewing

Made a note of Auvers sur Oise. When I looked it up on Google maps I saw Van Goghs grave is also there.

By the way, since last week I understand who the lady in your avatar is. Striking resemblance!

Cheers

...any beer enjoyed in the 'Fortress of Solitude' is generally a good beer...this one is no exception...

Horzempa Brewing -- Tmave Andel (Dark Angel)
Czech dark lager
ABV: n/a; pouring temperature: 44.8 ℉; bottling info: n/a
Source: @JackHorzempa
Auxiliary vice: Padron -- maduro robusto



...the last of six beers Jack sent me...this is the only double beer he sent...I believe I drank the other bottle as the first of the six he sent...a very nice home brew...rich, malty, tasty...

 

...surprised you still have a boat in the water...I guess you aren't worried about an Endurance event...

 

1) Humble Forager Forbidden Fortune (8.0% canned 11/1/22): A NEIPA from Wisconsin with Mosaic Nelson, Strata for flavors of grapefruit, passionfruit, peaches, pineapple. Oat cream for a smooth, soft finish.
versus
2) Other Half Space Diamonds (8.5% canned 10/31/22): A NEIPA from NY with Galaxy for flavors of grapefruit citrus rind, peaches, some cream. (Mismatched the two blind)

Winner:
1) Humble Forager Forbidden Fortune: Both of these are bangers. Space diamonds drinks with fantastic flavors from the Galaxy with a touch of grapefruit citrus rind. Humble Forager was extremely similar. Tons of passionfruit citrus with a smooth oat cream body. Surprisingly both were nearly similar. Expected from Other Half, but Humble Forager went out of their way to impress me with this one.

 

I saved this from the black hole at the back of the ‘other’ fridge. 8 months old or so. No issues. Messorem Bracitorium I’ll etait un fois: Il Diavolo Italian Pilsner.

 

Well, ya'll know I'm not a big fan of 16 oz cans - but I did want to get some Second Fiddle. Well, all they had was 4 packs of 19 oz cans (01/11/2023) for the same price as 4 packs of 16 oz cans so here ya go, and it's delicious!..

 

That view just looks cold - pretty though. We get the snow tomorrow I believe. Hopefully no big deal since I have a dentist appointment at 12 - long overdue thanks to the pandemic.

 

Haha - no, but that Shackleton book is a favorite (have a first edition of Lansing's book)....this particular boat was gifted to me a few years back, (an English built twin keeler called an Alacrity), and I decided to leave her in the water several winters ago, and she fares just fine! Very solid cruising boat!
Cheers, Dave!

 

FH Beerworks -- Good Day IPA

Reorganized the beer fridge and came across a couple of Fest beers. This is a nice one, true to style.
Cheers!

Not too bad today, 36 and sunny currently - just back from second hike of the day - did 4.6 miles!
Snow comes tonight and tomorrow mostly here! Cheers!

 

After hike refreshment....pretty tasty German brew!

 

Nice - good hike, but you have great hiking areas. I've been trying to get out and walk more everyday but I have no exciting places to walk around me. I live on a circle though so I can walk around the circle multiple times but it gets a little boring.

 

...yes, the Shakelton and Endurance story is one of the finest true sea stories out there...one of my favorite books, too...I suppose you've read the story about the whaling ship Essex...another fantastic but true story...I've got a surprising amount of books (fact and fiction) about sea stories...always good reading...



...plus other books I have from the likes of Melville, London, William Hope Hodgsdon, Greek and Roman stories and histories involving the sea, military naval tales, etc....

...Cheers, Jerry...

 

Final packing near complete
enjoying this dark delight
Airport at 6, flight at 8 weather looks good 1/2 way around the world.
Just enough Ancho, cinnamon, chocolate to add complexity
Lovely dry finish, 10% is nowhere to be had
Cheers from a guy no longer at work for 3 weeks

 

Had to dump an awful canned stout from Anchorage (feels bad man). This is what I really needed. 12oz needs to be the standard again, and that’s coming from a post-hazeboy era beer drinker
