Decemberfest Day 3 brings hither Kurpfalz Bräu, a terrific tasting Helles. This is a REALLY tasty Helles, it has this deep, malty flavor that I connect with excellent German Helles lagers. Since 1752.
Brewed by Weldebräu GmbH & Co KG, Plankstadt, Germany. 5.3% ABV, brewed according to the German Beer Purity Law of 1516.
Kurpfalz Bräu has a deep golden color, good body, medium carbonation, not much head and a very small amount of lacing. Das ist gutes Bier!

Never had a bad Shiner beer. This is fantastic!
Marzen at Uber Geek. Riverhead NY
How many had you already had when you took that pic? 
Lakewood Brewing Temptress Imperial Milk Stout.
It was the first, LOL.How many had you already had when you took that pic?
This is the second stop.
A Tripel.
Lots of chocolate, sweet but not too much, nice mouth feel. I like it!

Looks like it's trying to get away. Quick! Grab it before it runs off!
HB Hazy Mosaic/Citra IPA. Added a touch of vanilla. Doesn't taste like Grandpa's beer!
Drinking a buddy's HB Kolsch, brewed with some quinoa (not GF, though). Never had a beer that used quinoa, so don't have anything to compare this to, but it's mighty tasty. And waiting for the apple pie my wife just baked to cool. Life is uncertain--have dessert first. Then it's homemade pizza tonight.
HB wheat
First pour of my “Back 40” pale ale, with homegrown Cascade and CTZ hops. Not a lot of hop presence but enough to let me know they’re there. Wasn’t sure what I’d get from first year plants. Still, a very easy drinking pale.
Questionable glassware for this Marzen
Finally sampling from the cellar for the fotd

Batch 19 (Spring 2023): A new take on Mott the Lessor with three fortified wines (Madeira, Tawny and Ruby Port?) and Tom Cat Vermont Gin barrels.

12BOC23 Spiced Cherry Dubbel. Subtle cherry aroma and flavor, nice dubbel character, beautiful label. 11% abv; don't taste it but it doesn't take long to know it's there! Very good job, @kwilson16 !
Garaminger Kirta arrives to us behind Decemberfest Door #4 this week. A “Devil of a Brew” looking at the cartoon artwork, it is a “Dunkles Weissbier” which literally translates to “Dark White Beer”. To me that’s another one of those beer misnomers, like “Dark India Pale Ale”. Fellas and Gals, we have to come up with better typing of beer styles, “Dark Pale” and “White Dark” does not cut it in my book. Like making a Left-Right turn, or turning the lights On-Off. Enough said.
Like many other wheat beers, most all begin life as ales. So, I am assuming this is an ale like most other Weiss / Wheat / Weizen beers. It has the distinctive spicy phenolic character on the front end, however I have to admit, I couldn’t even discern it by the end of the pint. Taste being what it is, we drop into the styles quickly and lose sensitivity to the weird stuff as you go on further and further into the glass. Like Smoke beer for example, or complaining spouses. We just don’t notice it after a while!
OK, seriously, this is a good beer, made with barley, wheat and roasted barley. Produced by Graminger Weissbräu KG, located in Altöiting, Germany. It is a “Natutrüb” beer, meaning it is likely unfiltered and cloudy, sometimes with yeast present in the murk. 5.0% ABV, small head, some fading lacing.
I will admit wheat beers are not my favorite, and they have been declining in Germany too from what I read. The phenolic thing is a bit tough for me to swallow - literally and figuratively! This one was OK though, I think once you get on this pony, you get used to the ride quickly. Prost!

These doc reviews at work are doing damage to my cellar. I think this is 2018

I'm feeling sick today, sick of work.

I'm retired now but I remember the occasional day where I woke up with a vision problem - I just couldn't see myself going to work that day.
@BongoYodeler, I'm drooling for early retirement to arrive. Got SWMBO off the Oregon coast thing and convinced her North Carolina was the place to be. 5 destinations into this, hopefully this sticks. NC is very retirement friendly.
Pretty green PA. Little dryer then intended and ended up at 6.2%. Columbus/Cascade/Hop Oil

Lol, wife and I throw that back and forth at each other (except she doesn't really get sick days).
We are headed down to Mexico - condo on the beach for about $350k (if you're into "condo" living) and while gas is equivalent to California, everything else is dirt cheap. You can get a house for not a whole lot more...

Yeah, Hautulco was an option for a while. I have no interest in Mexico myself plus being in care of a disabled grandson made me nervous being so far away from multiple specialist he needs. Where are you looking? I'm sure you can get some very cheap beach condos in Alcapulco!

I assume you know the Merida story? Safest place in Mexico since all the drug lords families live there as a truce.

Stay in the general tourist areas, mind your business, speak the language, and you'll be fine. We are tentatively planning on moving down there (somewhere in MX - we both really like Huatulco) in about two-three years (for a year) to see how we like it.
We are going to Merida/Sisal next month for the wife's over the hill, so we'll see where that falls in terms of ranking
HB best bitter. Wrong kind of glass, but then, I'm not much of a rule-follower.
