What are you drinking now?

[ThirstyPawsHB]

A recently unearthed bottle of one of the first meads I ever made. Can’t find notes because I closed a homebrew shop and moved houses twice since then and probably have been through 3 computers - my best guess is this is from 2003-2004 timeframe and could be 20 years old. I remember this honey, the blue bottles and the pink shrink tops. All place it in that time. It is sweet, flowery, and has held up ridiculously well. I have 2 or 3 more after this.

Truly awesome! Thanks for the cool share. Oldest HB Mead was from 2 friends and it was gasoline fuel. 6yrs old I think.

Another one from the 12 Beers of Christmas 2022. This was a bonus beer and everyone in the house that drinks thinks it’s fantastic.

Sucks that I have no notes for this. I remember this honey because it was really flowery and perfumy. At the time I just thought wildflower as I was totally new to mead. Tasting it now, I’m 99% sure its just clover. But this is the only (gallon) jar of clover honey I ever found that was this aromatic. I color code things, just what I do when I can. Pink shrinks = wildflower, green = clover etc. When I make IPA I use the green hop bottlecaps, American Flag caps for APA, etc to try to help me remember. I didn’t make that many meads and I haven’t bottled them in 750s since my earliest batches. I use beer bottles now. I know this was made during the time I had my store. And I closed the store in June 2004. So it was in the bottle before then.

Faak! my Huskers ... anyway a tall pour of 20%abv Lemoncello will fit the bill. This is Jack who was truly the BEST dog ever. He was so kind to all the grandkids when they were young. It's the owners of Pitbulls that Fukk them up. But cheers to great pups everywhere!

Think this is the first time I've ever posted a beer that isn't my own in this thread!

"Goats for Ukraine" golden sour with buckwheat honey, whilst playing with recipe ideas for my "Suffering Beerstard" Tiki Sour.

From left to right. #33, #52, Natural Flavors Pineapple & Just Fruit enjoyed after coaching the last basketball practice for my daughter’s team. Last game of the season is Saturday.
What a great season! I’ll be looking to see if we can still get some gym time to keep the girls playing. I really enjoy coaching.

One more bonus beer from the 12 Beers of Christmas 2022 while making dinner.

and one local standard for when dinner is ready.

Burning the midnight oil with the new job. Cracked open the OH beer to start and hopefully the Tin Barn is the last for tonight.
I want to wrap up this project and send it off to the European team for their review. This way I can maximize my time tomorrow if I need to make any adjustments.
Cheers!

Red ale I brought back from WV last year

Puppy love - another week and a half or so

 

[Hoochin'Fool]

"Pretzel Day Stout (the works)"... Ugh, waaaay too sweet

 

[z-bob]

1/2 ounce Rose's lime, 1/2 ounce Triple Sec, 3 ounces gin, bunch of ice. It's pretty close to a gimlet.

 

[Immocles]

HB lager while kegging a bock. Poured myself that one before I realized I’d have the bock hydro sample to drink as well…

Blueberry wheat at the brewery for HBC meeting.

A day removed from my yearly review. Late lunch at 2:30 after tons of meetings.

Abita Christmas Ale. Malty, just a touch of bitterness. Pretty good.

Visited a brewpub outside of Orlando. Only had one.

Got this at the AL limited release lottery. Just a hint of smoke, a touch of sweet, very smooth, 86 proof. Glad I bought it!

 

[SanJuanWorm]

First HB Imperial Sprucetip Porter with a nice amount of carb. I decided to bottle so I wouldn't have my only keg full of a 14% Porter! Very happy with this one, and the harshness of the 'smoky/roasted' flavour is starting to mellow out. Just coffee / dark chocolate / sprucey goodness. Cheers!!
