What beer are you drinking now? #474

Drake's Hopocalypse. Mmm... fresh bottled 1/29.

 

Recycled pic, but one of my favorites. Here's to insomnia and amazing beers! Cheers!

 

Dust Bowl Brewing Co.- Black Blizzard. Bottled 01/01/13. Mmm... here's to aged RIS's. Cheers.

 

Ballast Point Victory at Sea - real letdown - like burnt stale coffee with a touch of alcohol. Second drain pour this week - on to Fathead's Head Hunter.

 

Changed my mind - going with Ten Fidy instead. This is definitely an IRS morning!

 

Nugget Nectar. Awesome

 

Graveyard shift is always weird. Today, it's Thursday AND Friday for me...so, why not celebrate with a little nightcap? Hell, it's almost the weekend.



I recently read some article that listed the 10 signs of alcoholism...the number 1 sign was drinking in the morning. Whoever wrote it has obviously never gone to college, nor worked their ass off on the 3rd shift. Bunch of dorks. Cheers!

 

Or had insomnia or been "older" and simply started to awaken before the crack of dawn pushing their entire lives into the morning rather than the evening hours. I can remember my old Uncel Tom. (90 something and still drinking boilermakers) . . . he used to walk everywhere and start drinking around 10 am when he would start to cook.

"How'm ah gonna know s' de vino go wit -a de pasta less ahm a gonna taste -a first."

 

Going stout on an ...(poor pun on "Going south on an expedition...")


Down to the last of my batch from 09/2011....this beer ages oh so gracefully. It is now showcasing an aroma that is akin to a BBA imperial stout. Dark fruits, dark chocolate, molasses in the taste with a discernible earthy bitterness towards a the end of a long, long, finish. A beautifully executed beer from Bells that has stood the test of time.

 

Boneyard Hop Venom! True to its name, felt like I could squirt hops out from my tongue an hour after drinking it. Great DIPA though, albeit a little sweet (hahaha...I complaint too much about sweetness in my beers, haven't I? )

Cheers!

 

I raise this one in honor of my Dad, who would have turned 87 today. He was my hero,and in miss him terribly.

 

Cheers!

 

To your dad!

 

@utopiajane your wise words convinced me...ONE more nightcap is in order.




Ayinger really doesn't put out anything less than flawless IMO. I'm sure you guys get sick of me posting the same beers, but I have yet to find anything that I enjoy quite this much. Cheers once more, and goodnight!




*P.S. Alison Krauss....SWOON

 

Amarillo/Citra Pale Ale done by a friend, and it's right tasty.

Man had such a crush on LR back in the day

 

Blurry pic but delicious beer. =) Cheers BA!

 

start from last night and was super tasty IPA

 

Next was my first time trying this and was so good crushed this small bottle

 

Finished my night with a nice easy drinking coffee stout to put me to sleep LOL
