What beer are you drinking now? #3748

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

 

Breckenridge Buddy Pass impy oatmeal stout

 

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!

 

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.

 

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
