still drinking hop/malt/yeast free beer. I'm still phat.
Todays walk only burned up about 600 or so calories. I figure at this rate, maybe I can drink a few this weekend. This leaning forward a bit to see my feet is getting real old, real quick.

Last night had a Flying Dog Doggie Style Pale Ale. Really good, very hoppy, would probably be an IPA if it had the abv. Plan to clone it today.
By the way, while I plan to join a gym again this winter, I can still see my feet! (Though I suspect you exaggerate) Of course, size 14s are hard to miss!

Saw the tips of my Toes this morning ... Just about threw my back out looking for them, but I saw them.

6" of the lightest puffiest snow I've seen in years, could use a leaf blower to clear driveway, but a snowblower is much more fun.... Beer, then clear snow, the wife's chix soup, then beer...

The last of my MB White IPA spring seasonal, was not that good in my opinion. I was disappointed with that one and kind of glad it's gone, I don't usually feel that way about my home brews, most of the time I feel real bad when I drink the last one.

I know how you feel berryman, I still have two bottles left of the MB White IPA. I really don't want to dump them, but I didn't care for it either. Maybe I'll drink one tonight followed by something else.

Trying a Workingman from Blue Pants Brewery Madison Ala. Sent by dbrowning. It is a Alabama Common based on a California Common. Not bad, a lot more hop forward than an Anchor.

Ugh, trying to find something good tonight.

I went with a Boston Lager because we were having salmon, rice and veggies for dinner and it sounded like a good pairing. Not good. Just like the Old Fezziwig there is something off with this beer. I tried the Winter Ale the other day and it was "ok" - just a non-descript beer. I think the last time I bought a sampler I didn't like the BL either so I think I'm getting old beer, or I just don't like it out of the bottle.

Poured it down the drain and grabbed a beer that my in-laws brought back from LA on their trip (Dixie Beer). Poured that out, too.
Now I'm drinking a Pale Ale from Louisiana that's a solid pale ale so I finally found something I can drink tonight. Aaahhhhhhh.

Honestly that kit is a 5 gallon saison base that will make a good quaffing saison for hot summer days - it's not a white IPA. Anyone who still has a can of it and hates it but likes saisons, simply add some DME and up to 1# of sugar to get it up to a 1.05ish gravity for a 5 gallon batch, throw in some noble hops or goldings for flavor/aroma, and then use Bella Saison yeast. It does not need any more bittering for a 5 gallon saison, the HME is bitter enough for that when using a yeast that will take it to 1.003 or even less if you use sugar (could even get below 1.000). I guarantee that will be good beer - as long as you like saisons. Use the spices if you wish or not, either way will be good.

I've got a couple of cans of it that I got for $12.50, and that's what I'm doing with them next spring/early summer when I have no time to do a steep/PM/BIAB. Good cheap easy mode lawnmower beer.

Anyways, I'm drinking more of my IPA.

Wonder what's up with that? Some years back I ran into a bunch of Goose Island beer that was sour/funky that was not supposed to be. It was when they started to mess around with their saisons and funky beers in big bottles. I think they got some cross contamination.

I don;t know but I know I've had BL on tap a few months ago and still liked it so there's definitely something amiss at the Circle K
