Last night, sipped on what I'm calling the Bubs' Duo- Bubs' Pale Ale and then Bubs' IPA.

Well here Gose nothing, Highway 128 Blood Orange Gose. First taste of this style, take some getting used to.

Had a first pour of my "Winter Steam" I tried this about a week early, (3 week ferment and 18 days in the bottle) because I couldn't wait any more. And I'm really happy. Initially I was a little worried by the first whiff out of the bottle, as I thought it smelled a little green, but I think it's just the Northern Brewer hops. I have not used them before and as I settle into the glass, I'm picking up some minty/earthy aromas, which are supposedly a trait in these hops. This is a variation on the California Common style in that it is a darker beer. I used some crystal, Vienna, and chocolate to add some depth and character. I am picking up on the caramel and chocolate, but it's nicely balanced with a creamy finish. I really like this and It's going to be great to have on hand this Winter. I will Probably post on the First Pour thread with some pics. Happy New Year all!

Opened up my first Blackstone Black Belle... 10% impe3rial stout aged with cacao nibs in bourbon barrels. Wow. Outstanding. Age has done this one well. Maybe I'll bring the other one to the Nashville meet-up.

Happy new year, folks...

And the Central time zone New Years beer is...



Wow, I love this beer. I love the kriek even more, but the geuze is very solid.

I'm ringing in the new year with a Prairie Artisan Bomb. Its a 14% Imperial Stout brewed with cocoa nibs, espresso and chili peppers. I've never had anything quite like it. Its pretty friggin amazing!

[swenocha]

That Prairie is pretty amazing, isn't it? That whole Bomb series is great. The Christmas Bomb didn't do it for me so much (it was good, but I liked some of the other variations better), but what a great series of beers.

Death Sour ECY20 Plain, it's a nice tart sour, but could use some complexity. Have a new package of ECY20, time to brew up another sour, change up a few things, then wait a YEAR to see what I should change for the next time.

LOL! I was just picturing something like either Darth Vader or Grand Moff Tarkin (sp?) With a pucker face.
Or better yet, a picture of Bella with a 'sour' face!

If you only knew somebody that could take a great picture for you.....(by the way, I need a fix....please post a pic of her soon)

[Inkleg]

Not Bela, but how about the late, great Tobias (aka Kitty T).
