I always am caught off-guard when people have to score New Belgium, as they've been in the markets I've lived in forever. I always forget that they aren't in all markets (though they are working on it).

Tonight I will be going for a northern tour during poker... Thinking that Surly and Lake Louie will be on the menu, though I might throw in a last second audible.

I am drinking an all grain Brick Warmer Red Ale. It's been in the keg for a week and has a nice taste! It is an interesting beer from start to finish, the flavor profile improves toward the end of the glass as the beer warms.

5.4 % ABV

9 lbs Pale Malt, Maris Otter
1 lbs 8.0 oz Crystal, Dark
1 lbs Wheat, Torrified
8.0 oz Crystal, Dark
4.0 oz Pale Malt
4.0 oz Pale Malt
0.61 oz Magnum 60 min
0.73 oz Styrian Goldings 10 min
1.00 oz Orange Peel, Sweet 10 min
1.0 pkg London Ale Yeast (Wyeat)

:thanks:

Mr. Beer summer seasonal saison where I simply added 1/3oz of Citra for a little hop stand and overfilled a bit to get more beer and make it a bit more like a summer saison vs. a winter saison (as in lower abv and drier). It's really good @4 weeks in the bottle.

Cool Springs Brewery's Berliner Weiss is so very good. Also had their Twig and Berries (their Kolsch secondaried with a ton of blueberries) and the Honey Pot (Saison Braggot). Great evening at the local brewpub...

As a side note, Twig and Berries and Honey Pot obviously fall in line with CSB's rather suggestive naming conventions (not sure how the Berliner didn't get a funky name). Others include Shaft (Black IPA), Pecker Wrecker (IPA), Brussel's Muscle (Belgian), Bulging Kilt (Wee Heavy), Kilt Lifter (Scottish), 3's A Crowd (Trippel), Wheat Dream (Hefe), Private Johnson's Pale Ale, Early Riser (stout), Titches Wit, MorningWood (Red), Jackhammer (Maibock), Bushwacker (Wheat), and (of course) CircumSaison...

Scottish Ale; i got a growler from the Cannon Brew Pub, Columbus Ga
"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."
