Reminded me of my wife when I brewed it and then come to find out she likes it:

Coopers mr Beer "Beach Babe Blonde"

1 Can Canadian Blonde HME
1 Packet Dry Brewing Yeast (under lid of HME)
1 Pouch Booster™
1 Packet No-Rinse Cleanser

YOU PROVIDE:
Juice and Zest of 2 Small Limes (about 2 oz.) and since I didn't have any limes available I used 6 ounces of frozen limeade...

I wasn't so sure how this would turn out but it hit a home run with SWMBO and my daughter that they want me to brew another larger batch soon. God i am a lucky man

The Canadian makes pretty good base for beer. It's one of the refills I will buy if I can get it 50% off :)

I'm drinking Stone Go To IPA. I like.

one of my Bengal in the Rye
"Filled with mingled cream and amber
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain
-- Quaintest thoughts -- Queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today."

First pour of my 3rd gen of Blue Moon clonish...great potential if conditioned another 3-6 weeks but decent now. Using Old MB WWW and such

also a first pour of old MB Quiet Creek Kolsch...decent potential if conditioned another 4-8 weeks. Me thinks it is the Cowboy Golden Lager in it.

We liked that one too. I'm gonna use one of my 2 cans I have left to brew another batch except probably cut the limes to one. IT was a bit too 'limey' for me, otherwise a great poolside bev for summer.

Just finished a 100 Years War IPA, an original AG recipe I threw together using Centennial and Warrior hops (hence 100 Years War -- get it?).

Mighty tasty, although if (when) I make it again, I'll get more hops in the bitterness addition and the aroma addition. It just needs a little bit more bite.

Well, Janie and I had a groupon for two burgers and a growler at my favorite beer bar (52 taps, including Belgians, sours etc). I got a growler of Troegs Nugget Nectar. I'm drinking the whole thing so it doesn't go flat. Now you know in case I get silly later.
BTW, love the "Hundred Years" label.
Making beer and stew for the Zombie Apocalypse.
Never mind, there it is.

I was at the best brewery in the USA, IMHO, Captain Lawrence Brewing - Elmsford NY - For $10 you get 12 chips. 1 Chip gets you a 4oz sample - 2 chips for Seeking Alpha. Tasting glass is $2.00 & is yours to keep & re-use. Today's lineup:
Freshchester Pale Ale - 5.5%
Brown Bird Ale - 5%
Liquid Gold (Belgian Style) - 6.5%
Sun Block (American Wheat) - 5.5%
IPA - 6.5%
IP Session - 4.6%
Fiona (Irish Red Ale) 4.8%
Demon Sweat (Pale Black Ale) 5.0%
Kevin's Bacon Ale Lots of Maple (Breakfast Beer) 6.3%
Lark IPA 2.0 - 6.0%
Seeking Alpha (Triple IPA) - 12%
Can you get a better line up than this? Every one of these beers were great to fantastic. :barman:
I had all the IPA's, the bacon, Demon, Fiona, & I took home a case of unlabeled IPA, bottled today, pulled off the line. Free beer & free bottles. I think I'm in heaven. :party:
