Broke down and popped a bottle of Chocolate Brown Ale. The change in yeast and carbing just a touch less than previous batches was just the tweak that this beer needed to be perfect. It's a little sweet with more pronounced chocolate and nutty flavors and aroma. Bittered just right, and medium-light body so it's easy to drink.

Yes it's early but they are releasing them so I have been sampling every version of Octoberfest I can get my hands on.

YUM!

Pineapple Wit in a mason jar. I don't know what it is, but it was a lot more pronounced in pineapple flavor/aroma in the mason jar than in any actual beer glassware I've poured it into.

My 'Consumable Belgian IPA'...

Kegged three days ago... Still needs a few more days but yum!

Citra, Centennial and Amarillo bursting in me face!

Drinking some old bottles of Colombus Pale Ale from June. Tasty after work treat!

Had a couple pulls of the summer blonde. I have to be gentle with this keg, she is starting to feel awful light.......

A really sour and refreshing Dampfbier. I didn't know I made what amounts to a Berliner, but apparently I did. Only one other bottle of it left, I hope that one is sour too. (yeah I'm weird LOL).

Been a good day. Started by winning two season tickets and parking pass for my favorite college football team, then went to pick up my free case of ale from the hop pick at the brewery (as well as buying a sixer of the just released Fall Lager), then went to a nice little sour tasting at the bottle shop (took home a couple bottles of New Holland Incorrigible Reserve White Sour Ale that were passed to me all speakeasy like from the hidden supply in the back ($5.50 per bomber... are you kidding me?)), celebrated a birthday with the boy, and then finished with this, which was gifted to me this weekend:

Well, yesterday was a sad day. Had to remove my hat and say goodbye to a gorgeous summer blonde ale. Another keg bites the dust, may it RIP. I've got 5 gallons in the fermenter, won't be ready to keg until ... wait... TODAY! Well, I guess I'm gonna force carb and see just how fast I can drink 'er, hopefully by next weekend. Until then, FITland is a dry county. Here Crown, come here... papa needs ya. Could just be a week of clearing out my system awaiting arrival of my hoppy blonde.

Well heck.... got a call just as I was getting set up to keg. He said, says he... lets go fishing, it's better than bein caged up today, sooooooooooo, being the good friend I am, I kept him company most the day. Nice day to be out in a boat. Beer will be there unharmed in a couple days.

Just prepared and ate Au Graten Potatoes, Spicy Butter Beans and Cajun Pan Fried Tilappia.

Drinking my Belgian IPA!

Fixed greasy bacon cheese burgers.
drinking inversion IPA

Yazoo Bell's Bend Preservation Ale, the beer made from the hops I helped pick a few weeks ago. More bitter than last year (around twice as many hops in the mix this year, so not a surprise). On tap this week for the first time, and I have a nice case of bombers of it. Sweet!

Session Black Lager.
