Brown sugar milk stout from a local brewery. Counting the days til my HB peanut butter Bananza Porter is carbed up!

I second Braxton. Very chill environment and great beer. Also dog friendly!

Do you have the appetizer picked out yet? In general for the appetizer I would think you’d want something light as far as beer goes. Especially if you’re doing fried food or something like that. Maybe a crisp light lager or a cream ale. Could also do a wheat beer. The possibilities are endless!

So far I have had two beers with honey (as far as I’m aware). I brewed a wheat beer with honey and I have had hopslam from bell’s. Personally I do think it adds a bit of flavor but it isn’t “honey” like you’d expect. I’m honestly not a fan so far.

Definitely piece by piece. I moved to all grain and bought a conical all in one week. It was almost painful watching the money go. Even more so since I still have tons of upgrades to make in the future. Nothing wrong with that strategy! Anything to get to brewing

Thanks for sharing! I am building up my gear starting with fermentation and brewing equipment. That unfortunately puts kegging a little ways down on my priority list. I just got a spike cf5 conical but I want to add temp control and the gas manifold before I get into kegging and I was worried...

Count me in, please!

To add to the above... I thought a package got lost in shipping because the website only showed one tracking number for 3 packages and I had received the one attached to that number. I emailed AIH and they got back to me in less than 10 minutes with an apology and the additional tracking...

Was so excited I forgot to check the date. Canned 11/7/19 :/... still pretty decent

Ain’t she beautiful?

Friday nights on HBT are the best...

Adding to my list... getting to be a long one

MHL. My wife likes bud light so I’ll drink those if they are on hand. But the more I drink craft beer, the less I can put up with the lack of flavor. Blessing and a curse I guess.
