Nothing currently, but I do believe I'll crack open something here in an hour or so when I start brewing. Perhaps I'll go with my coffee porter, or pseudo-schwarzbier. I don't think I have any commercial beers chilling at the moment.

Did some work in the garden this pm, had some extra veggies so I called the neighbor, said u home, he said yup, so I said answer the door. Well, his wife loved the fresh veggies so we sat outside and chatted a bit. He rarely has beer, I usually give him his beer (he loves me). He runs inside as comes back out, he says, says he, I picked up a couple beers in town I have not tried, lets imbibe. I said cool, lets do it. I had never had one of these so I thought, I'm in for a treat, I hope.

New Glarus (sp?) APL. Man, I was totally caught off guard. That stuff is good, nice and hoppy, kinda surprised me. Good beer, I might just pick some up next time I'm in town. It is not the hop head exploding brews I make, but it was definately nice and refreshing.

I should have taken a picture of the beer, but it was so delicious that I drank it pretty quick. I had a bottle of the Calypso Belgian pale ale, and my my it was sooooo good! Such wonderful aroma of peach, pear and apple. Flavor mostly of the pear component. Perfectly carbed with a fluffy head that dissipated within a minute or two, and it laced at every step where I took a gulp of the beer. I might try and save one to condition for 3 or more months and try it, but I understand pale ales and IPAs and the like should be consumed young because the emphasis is more on the hop flavor and aroma, and not the malt. This beer is making me like hoppy beers more.

These bloody marys are sure going down good!

I have another 1776 12oz, Blueberry Wheat 12oz and a Bavarian Weissbier liter chilling in the fridge for tonight brew time.

I will brew at least one batch.
If I bottle another tonight (moosedrool) then I might even brew up another!
Or possibly split a 5 gal and do half by recipe and half adding Maltodextrin.

I have a Copper Ale, Blonde Ale w/ dry yeast

I'm very much enjoying PapaG's Mosaic American Wheat. Wow, what a nice, clean and refreshing beer. This guy should be in the Hall of Fame!
Gotta get me some Mosaic to try.
Big thanks for the beer share PapaG.

Seems that every photo from my cell phone is sideways no matter what I do. I feel like a idiot!

Kind of you to say so sir! My pleasure, glad you are enjoying them!

How's that... Better?

So what's the secret? I'm pretty computer savy, build my own and know pretty much but sometimes I feel like a complete idiot. The pics are fine on my computer and it seems to only happen with iphone pics.

And, it's really, really good. I've already told you I'm a hop guy and I'm finding out how good other beer styles are that I rarely make. Dang, I gotta get with it!

I rotated your image witha piece of freeware.

To solve the original problem, try rotating your iPhone 90 degrees into Landscape orientation.

I am going to have some Lagunitas Lucky 13, then I think I will have a IRA or two.

Mmm tasty IRA

Wife thinks I've had enough today, so not drinking, well, till later when she will let me have some wine with her. So, I guess I will be drinking Cafe Zinfidel.

Started with a Wicked Red IPA, based on Diablo with amber DME and extra hops. Then I just finished a Wee Heavy.

just workin' on my bottle collection 'till monday

Black Velvet, a Canadian whiskey that is rather inexpensive and surprisingly smooth!
