What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #4234

Good Afternoon Advocates!

Friday thread looks off to a good start! I'm drinking a misc hodgepodge out of the fridge today to make way for some much-needed healthy groceries haha.

Starting with this tasty NEDIPA...

• MEGA: The Empire Edition | Modestman Brewing

Cheers BAs!

 

At $18/30pk, it's the best thing going imho, at least down that aisle of the beer store. A couple things I like to say about Hamms: "It's beer that tastes like beer" and "Hamms is the beer you have when you want to drink a beer, not form a relationship with it." One day I'll get that marketing job with Hamms, Inc.

It does get a lot of love round these parts. Sorry you can't get it where you are. YMMV and all those other disclaimers. Cheers!

 

Hey @TheIPAHunter my hometown still does ok German deli:

Cheers to any gentle giants out there!

 

@Qu3st , so sorry to hear about your loss. The fur babies have that special way of giving unconditional love that is dearly missed when no longer there.
@ATL6245 Congratulations on your 500th review, and many more!

Happy long Memorial Day weekend with a nod and toast towards those who have sacrificed on behalf of the USA. With round 1 today am enjoying a milk stout from Boss Rambler in Bend, OR courtesy of @muchloveforhops3 , thanks Doug! This has a nice roasty malt base with a deft touch of adjuncts that actually play well.
Cheers!

I’m starting the holiday off in style at Autodidact Beer with a favorite: Dark Horse, a Black IPA. I’m glad this brew is part of Auto’s regular rotation. Cheers to this meaningful, long weekend, BAs!

 

Yes thank you! I'll catch another galloping Lite pony. Cheers!

 

Hey, BA! happy Friday!

Pislner Urquell for me in this heat


cheers!

 

Mattern Deli in Orange. It was once a beautiful scene, but the original owners (all German) have since retired. Still, the Hunter in my hometown? Let’s go.

 

I will add it to my "whale" list. Years ago one of our neighbourhood home brews bore the label "Do things you can't remember, with the taste you can't forget."

 

Stormy and cooler today. Hoping for a break in the rain to get a brief walk in. Until then, Pipeworks Night Sun Stout it is. Cheers!

 

Four Keys Strawberry Clouds

 

Sticking with Rhinegeist...switching beers.

My palate was not loving the hazy today. Dubious start.

Joining @TheIPAHunter with this corrective beverage.

At Spilled Grain Brewing in Annandale, MN, and enjoying their newest Lake Series beer for 2024.

3.74/5 rDev 0% look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.75 On tap at the brewery Purple pouring beer that is quite murky looking. The head is slightly off white in color. The aroma has a hint of blueberry on it, as expected. Light, subtle, slightly sweet smelling. Taste- the flavor is blueberry, but subtle. The blueberry is not overpowering or over the top. Slight sweetness to it and a faint tartness. There's a faint grain hint to this beer as well. Light, refreshing, crisp and bubbly body. This beer hits the target as a summer crusher.
