Beer club

[UgliestSon]

That looks like a cool place, Blues. Prost!




I've only had CCB beers at festivals. I wish they distributed around here.

I drank this bomber last weekend with a friend. They don't distribute around me either, it was a gift and a delicious one at that!

Unsure where you are. Their distribution is growing. Since they joined up with Canarchy/Oskar they are everywhere. Up into NY and even Europe. But that is their normal shit like Jai Alai and Maduro. You can sign up for their El Catador club and get a bunch of their barrel aged beers. Pretty good deal. I think they have a third party who will ship right to you.

Drinking a local and lauded IPA right now; my husband brought home a growler of it for me as I was traveling this week. Good to be home.

I don't know (or remember). I've drank with Australians before in Alaska, Canada, Japan, Germany, and Nepal. They were lightweights compared to the Russians.

In my town we have three microbreweries and five micro pubs. We have a larger pub celebrated by CAMRA for their care of Shepherd Neame draught beers.

Excellent choice although I rate Youngs as being better in draught beer .

More of a fan of Festbier, especially Weihenstephaner, but yeah people love their Marzans.

Happy International Stout Day folks

I brewed a barleywine last weekend, it should come out at around 13.50% as it sits.

It's not going to sit as-is though. I've never made Ice Beer before, but am going to try it with this one. Going to concentrate it by removing half to two-thirds of the water and boost it up to 30% Abv or more. I'm starting out with 4 gallons and might only end up with a dozen or so bottles when done. If it works, it'll be pretty cool.

That ice beer might take a while to mellow out at 30%. Tactical Nuclear Penguin was 32% and a bit like gasoline on it's own. I wonder if your ice beer might be appropriate for blending?

 

[UgliestSon]

Yeah anything in the 30s is just going to drink way to hot.

Drank quite a few new beers yesterday. Power Of Friendship colab between Cigar City & 7th Sun. Brandy barrel aged imperial stout was pretty stellar.

 

[AbsintheFather]

I know it's gonna be hot, it's the challenge. That brandy barrel sounds great.

Tonight, I went to a Goose Island Bourbon County release. Had five different ones. 2019, 2018. Cafe, Cheri, and Wheatwine. Got wasted together with a daughter and saw beer club friends, it was fun.

Goodbye yogurt.

 

[AbsintheFather]

Goodbye yogurt.

Like with yogurt, it's also good way to start the day.

I went to my real beer club's Christmas Party last night. There were about 135 people there. We had a nice buffet dinner, there were about 30 kegs of beer representing many styles, people brought many special bottles to taste and exchange. It was a great night. By the time I got home and cleaned my jockey box and put things away it was almost 2:30 a.m. A nap is in my future.

Cheers !

12 days of barleywine

I will be frequenting this establishment this evening and I do hope there's a bit of the 2015 Dark Big Woody that I can enjoy.

AND, I personally recommend this barleywine.
