What are you drinking?

Uhm, what's up with the lamp on the floor?

There's actually a couch and side table out of vision in that shot. The lamp is on the table...

I picked up some Lagunitas IPA Maximus yesterday. Real nice beer; high IBU, but also high ABV, so the malt mitigates the hops. Real good summer IPA.

I also got a sixer of Fat Tire from a friend in my bowling league who took a trip to Delaware recently and had the decency to ask before-hand if some of us wanted some Fat Tire (which isn't distributed around here, which is a CRIME!!!!).

Gonna have to reimburse that gal next Friday at our awards banquet, and give her a kiss, too. I can't tell you how much I needed a Fat
Tire or three this weekend. My work schedule, and the Hammering Fist of Life have both done a real number on The Hat this month.

But I have great craft brew, great homebrew, and barbecue to look forward to this weekend.

I should be almost human again by Tuesday......

Irish Red based on Brew Demon red ale. This is one of my 3 favorite homebrews.

My day in beer... one of these things is not like the other...

Trub bottle of my Amarillo IPK (IPL like beer made with Kolsch yeast). Less then 3 weeks in the bottle and not cold crashed, so it has some chill haze, but it's the bomb, and the non-trubby bottles will be wicked in a few weeks.

I remember you posting about that one, cool. Now it makes me anxious for my Gumballhead clone to finish up.

Looks like the High Life might be the one not like the others....not that it's High Life, but the fact that your in the drivers seat with it!!!!

Philm00x's pale ale was a much better choice for this evening's brew... Enjoyed it while watching a Colin Hay concert...

Glad to hear you enjoyed it, Swen! I need to get me one of those IPA glasses. I drink the pale ale regularly in a standard pint glass, but would love to see what the IPA glass does for it.

While watching the Pacers/Heat game, I started with my Bourbon Barrel Porter, which was wonderful.
Now i am drinking an almost 2 year old St Patrick's Irish Stout. This was one of the two free refills that Mr Beer offered me to test when they had just been acquired by Coopers. I did not think it was very good to start with and it has only slightly improved with age. I thought it was time to reuse the bottle and I can't bring myself to pour out any drinkable beer. Actually as it warms up it is not too bad, just not one I would ever brew again without a healthy addition of DME and hops.

Pulled right off of the canning line this morning when the machine missed on putting the top on. What's that mean? Drink! #morningBeersAreTheBestBeers #especiallyWhenTheyAreOffTheLineFresh

Trying to drink through a couple of my 'Wheat, not Rye?' brews from earlier this year.

This was the simple wheat base with about 25% Rye...

Nice and clear, a little over carbed yet...

Not a lot of head retention, a bit spicy due to the rye but other than that, rather 'flat' overall (pun intended).

Forget what hops I used... But probably something noble and at low levels as I was trying to assess the rye balance.

Probably need to change this one significantly if we dance again...

@ Swen, very cool!

[Dawg LB Steve]

Got a taste of my North Port Pils that went into the keg Monday, a hair green yet and not quite carbed yet, but purty durn good!
