I fucking <3 HOP STOOPID. Gawddayum.

Although I tend to not be thrilled about fresh Brooklyn BCS , it is phenomenal this year. It's one of my favorites with 1-2 years on it but this year's is fantastico. The nose is UBER.

My friend put some great beer in the fridge last night, I wanna drink but of course I won't drink another mans beer!

Steeping the grains.

Sugar and malt!

Bitter hops.

Aromatic hops next and then into the fermenting bucket it goes!

There is a homebrewing thread.

is this your first batch?

 

[Disgustipated]

Already drank the Little Creatures Pilsner and the Judas. Pilsner was nice, but nothing special. The Judas is quite a nice, very hoppy golden ale. Looking forward to the White Shield IPA; hopefully it doesn't disappoint.

 

[KILL TULLY]

Budweiser American Ale = Budweiser making Newcastle with American ingredients for people that enjoy Budweiser. Really boring and lame, but still I am enjoying it right now that I am drunk.

 

[Evil?]

I once knew this really creepy dude who would go home from work everyday and smoke a bowl, drink a steel Reserve and go to bed. I can't see the stuff without thinking of him. It makes me laugh. He had a pony tail, a slight lisp and hated Abe Lincoln with all his heart.

Budweiser American Ale is one of those beers that you buy at 2 am when you're drunk and the bars are closed. It's decent and not a shitty lager.

Tonight's list is mainly: Old Rasputin, Aventinus, and a gueuze "Cuvée René".

Selection sucked at the store today and I don't feel like digging into the stock anymore since it's getting really low (only 3 rochefort 8's left and only 1 10! Need to start restocking hardcorelike.)

 

[swizzlenuts]

That gueuze is great.

I guess I will come aboard this thread now.


Here is todays purchase!

What'd you think of the Midas Touch? Other than Maudite (meh...) its the only one I've tried there. Thought it was a great balance of flavours!

Big Eye IPA
Calico Amber Ale

Both by Ballast Point.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Big Eye is a great IPA. Sculpin is an AMAZING IPA.

Ballast really know wtf they're doing. Too bad their prices are stupid. So I only grab em once in a blue moon.

Edit: my brother in law is from San Diego so I'll be going out there to visit his family with him sometime next year and hit up all them killer breweries.

Edit2: for probably the same stupid prices I pay here in MA/RI

Edit3: Just fresher.

 

[swizzlenuts]

Yeah my dad bought me them when he was there. In his phone, he put all the beers he drank while out there. Pretty damn good selection.

 

[Krilons Resa]

thats awesome. your dad knows what the fuck is up! All these stories...I feel like I know you dad. I need to meet him and shake his hand and maybe do some kind of brash welcoming, knock you on your ass salutation. Then get to gether and get blinded.

 

[Krilons Resa]

This Old Rasputin XII is definitely WHERE ITS AT though.
