Last of a mixed sixer from brewery Van Steenberge. Liked them all. At 5.5 this was the only session beer in the bunch.
What are you drinking now?

Decemberfest day 16 brings us a fantastic Klosterbräu Bamberger Rauchbier or “Smoke Beer” by Klosterbräu Bamberg GmbH, Bamberg, Germany. Harkening back to Medieval days – when Barley malt was directly dried by open fires, giving beers a dark color and smoky essence. Can you imagine a time when most all beers had that distinctive smoke flavor? It wasn’t until years later that air dried malts gave us the ability to make lighter brews without the smokiness.
At 5.3%, this is a great tasting Rauchbier. I see that their Rauchbier competitor Aecht Schlenkerla is in the same town of Bamberg. There must be a lot of smoke beer talent in the area me thinks. Weyermann based there too? Awesome! My kind of town!
Totally traditional, you really need to drink a Rauchbier every few months, just to re-visit the center of the Beer Universe, Rauchbiers! It is our history! Prost!

Farmberry gose brewed over in GA. Black-, blue-, straw-, and raspberries, locally grown. Tart, fruity, refreshing brew.

12BOC23 Cherry Dubbel, was amazing. Tried to open an Abbey Weizen from last year, @Hoppy2bmerry , but the top of the bottle broke off. Drowned my sorrows in several other beers, not as good.
I think this is the first time I tried this one. This one is a brewery only. Says 9.4%, very much in the category of an American barleywine with grapefruit hop flavor.

I think we all have that stein, don’t we?
Just tapped my take on Mad Kings honeymoon porter as a pecan version. Only poured a taster but super happy with it. Body is perfect and it’s a smooth with chocolate notes and hint of pecan. Going to let it mature a bit and looking forward to tasting the evolution.

Yep, you'd think that as many of us do that, there'd be a way around It. Maybe there is and I just haven't found it.

Back when i had a real job making real money I "met" an Army sergeant based in Germany on ebay. I bought a couple dozen of these for $3 or $4 each. In the warm months the lids are critical for enjoying your beverages with sharing with moths and flies.
Pinthouse action. Some IPAs/Rye lager/imperial stout..etc

Got a growler of our pro/am beer from Forgotten Star. Working on it now.

German Bier Chug #17 comes to us from Kalea GmbH, Freilassing, Germany, their rendition of a black beer. I say black beer for starters as this beer’s title, Schwarze Tinte Collab Stout is a mix of German and English beer jargon I’m trying to untangle. This translates roughly to Black Ink Collab Stout, whatever Collab is (Germans, help me here). Stouts belong over in England, Schwarzbiers generally in Germany for the most part, leading to more confusion.
Well with Schwarze and Stout both in the name, plus a black ink pen and dripping black ink, it should be dark, right? Color actually is lighter than you might think, with Orange color highlights showing through. Taste is really clean, sort of like a Dunkel going on Schwarzbier. Not a stout though, it lacks the complexity and esters of most stouts I’ve had.
At 6.2% ABV, who the heck cares. This is a tasty brew, not much head or lacing, but it gets the job done in style. Prost?... or Cheers!.... Whatever…….
