Absolutely never.

Lets see, over the last week or so: kicked my colored "blonde" ale at the Southern Vermont homebrew fest, kicked my schwarzbier, and tapped my California common. In the next few days I'll dry-hop the IPA, then keg it. Cali common brewed for a specific club tasting related to that style as we...

Last of the schwarzbier after it nearly kicked at the southern Vermont homebrew fest:

A few days late on the post, but I brewed over the weekend. I don't really brew IPA's much anymore in general, but noticing I had some "IPA style" hops left, and a hoppy beer brew club competition coming up, I decided to do one more of them (non-hazy). Hop choice was based solely on what I had...

Me too! (Having trouble uploading the pic, apologies if it doesn't show up. Edit: there it is, file was too large)

Just checked, and I can login fine, no ban message. Rarely go there anyway though...

Brewed up a California common yesterday. This has sort of become the "style of the year" for our homebrew club. We're brewing it for big brew day at our host brewery (the Warbler), and encouraging members to brew their own and compare. Never done the style before myself.

Down in Tennessee outside of Knoxville visiting my in-laws. Fortunately they are game for hitting as many breweries as possible. Aside from the pictured Xul, which is easily the highlight so far, we also hit Next Level, Schulz Brau, Monkey town, and Orange hat. The meadery is walking distance...

So glad you liked it! Age did this one good 😊. Was at our brew club meeting when I saw this and shared it with @Dgallo and he appreciated the comments as well; cheers! 🍻

Oh wow, that went fast. I'll take @fourfarthing

That's a shame. I went in 2019 and had a great time, still bring up stuff about it now and then.

Now that the weizenbock has been tapped, I can give a quick assessment. First, it went over very well at our club meeting last night. Even a guy who says he hates hefeweizens and anything like them enjoyed it. Banana esters definitely prominent. Overall very pleased with how it came out.

Forcefully kicked the smoked ale, cleaned the line, and threw the weizenbock on (needed it on to bring to our club meeting tonight). Since I already had it on CO2, it was ready to go right off the bat. Sample was tasting nice!

Bottled some of the bock for comps and FOTHB, subsequently kicked it, cleaned the lines, and put the weizenbock on CO2.

Offers in, since nothing's going to change with the extra time :mug:
