What beer are you drinking now? #4479

Foam Spelled in Bones

 

Having another Pilsner Urquell - I could never find this beer around here but my local supermarket got some after I asked if he could get me some - much appreciated,

 

Wholeheartedly agree.

I buy lots when released. A fave.

Cheers!

 

Stone Imperial Stout while I look out my future laundry room window.

 

Great glass Larry!
@beergoot I appreciate you rocking Rush today! I see they are releasing a 50th anniversary anthology which is pretty amazing! First time i saw them was in Detroit in summer '82. Either one loves them or hates them!

Heady, Sip of Sunshine and Second Fiddle were hauled back from NH/MA 2 weeks ago, I wish here. Hey, Southwest says 2 bags fly for free, 1 suitcase, 1 beer box that holds 25 cans......cheers!!

 

LOL - nice. Gotta be from Nawlins area. Can't wait to join in a bit, it's a banner beer day for me. Cheers....

 

Typical grey, overcast 50 degree kind of winter day here in north central FL. Looks like 70's again next week. WW Pernicious for the evening opener....

 

1) Hidden Hand With Random Precision (7.5% no canning date): A NEIPA from Chicago with Simcoe, Amarillo, Apollo, Columbus, and Centennial for flavors of tangerine, apricot, earthy resinous stonefruit, citrus, and pine.
versus
2) Hop Butcher Best Buds (8.0% canned 11/19/24): A NEIPA from Chicago with Simcoe and Moteuka for flavors of orange citrus and zest, tropical green melon, and some lime. (Correctly matched the two blind)

Chicago NEIPA Battle. First is Hidden Hand Brewing. First try at this brewery. This one has west-coast hops, but in a NEIPA form. Orange, tangerine, apricot. Lots of those earthy and resinous Simcoe flavors here.
Next is Hop Butcher Best Buds. Also with some Simcoe. More smooth berries, lime, tropical green melon. Excellent.
First try at Hidden Hand from Chicagoland. Let me know if you know anything about them. Seems like they have some promise in the IPA game. This was sort of that "hazy west-coast IPA" style. Pretty good stuff and I'd like to see more.
Winner: Hop Butcher Best Buds

 

Now at The Whiskey Tavern

Half Acre - Sunrise Vallejo

 

"I should have bought more.." is what I always say when indulging in this great brew.. cheers!!

 

Next is Glenn Hilton Park, an imperial stout aged in Port wine barrels with raspberries. This one is special to me as it's named after a park I frequently went to as a kid in my hometown of Hickory North Carolina.

 

Appreciate the history @BeardedWalrus , Olde Hickory has a nice barrel program!
Cheers!

Nice! They go down fast Larry.
