What beer are you drinking now? #4439

Back from a walk on another cloudy day. Now time for a beer. Cheers

 

A very impressive NEDIPA. Cheers all.

 

@micada - just replying to your post last night as I was already zonked out ..

Wormtown? Is that real? It sounds like a movie title. If there is not a movie called Worm Town, I humbly suggest we make a version.

The moniker was created by Leonard B. Saarinen, otherwise known as L.B. Worm. Saarinen was a punk rock DJ and printer who was the first to coin the name. His reasoning was in reference to Worcester’s punk scene in the seventies: dead and still, like worms in the ground.

The name wasn't without controversy. The local politicians hated it and found it derogatory. However, the name stuck and has become a popular nickname for Worcester MA. The originator of the term still has a radio station in Wormtown.

These days, Wormtown has become a pretty thriving place - it is the second largest city in New England.

Cheers!!!

 

Drinking Heady Topper. Tabs up!

 

Next up and not too shabby.

 

G'day all!

2016 Gillian, at least this bottle, is loaded with Brettanomyces and that's a good thing.

Prost!

 

That's on deck for me.

 

Spent the morning wrapping presents, now it's time for a beer and catch up on last nights UFC.

It's a Thing! from Verdant x Beak.A lovely Mosaic, Nectaron and Nelson Sauvin hopped pale.

 

My dumb ass fell asleep on the couch last night with this open. Taking care of business now. And the business tastes amazing as always.

 

I appreciate that history lesson. I had no clue.

 

Fell asleep? Does your wife say fall asleep or pass out? I have done it myself on a few occasions. Cheers man.

 

Well, this is too sweet to my liking. Yeah, Tiramisu I have had before and I loved it. This doesn't quite capture the real essence.

Prost!

 

Final triple thread post for the weekend, with a final double post planned with the Holiday thread for my second and final beer for the day. I do break my one a day home beers for these tasting events, always enjoy participating.

Full review linked above. New Beer Sunday #1034 treatment linked here, Holiday Beers Tasting thread treatment linked here. WBAYDN treatment, this started with surprising Egg-Nog notes before warming up and becoming the typical Citra-Amarillo hopped IPA despite the six added flavors. It's a nice new selection from a solid Chicago brewery.

Posted this video earlier in the week, my first exposure to this musical artist from the 1960s, who gave up music in part after hearing Joni Mitchell and thinking she could never offer that, and having a revival at the start of this century/millennium.

P'tite Maudite from Unibroue. Billed a a lite (4%) version of their full strength Dubble. Very good flavour for a low ABV beer.

 

Vintage Ale (2024)
Kirkland Signature / Costco Wholesale Corporation

 

This a Pilsener style brew from two favored brewers Schilling ( in NH) and Threes in Brooklyn). Both are worth a visit for for beer and a meal. Cheers
