I mowed the grass before 2.5 inches of rain forecast for this weekend.

I deserve a beer.

Sadly bear republic is pulling out of texas because of the draught. Hope they are not out for long though they do ot have a big presence here

Good news - Got 2.5 kegs in the keezer.
Bad news - Got 0 psi CO2 to get the beer out.
Good news - gotta go to dry dock brewing to get the CO2 refill tomorrow.

HB Irish red - likely last pull of HB for the night

Finally home! Thanks banesong!

While on the road I did manage to stop at crown brewing and have View attachment 278290 Grand Pubah BA on cherries. It was amazing and was followed by a brown sour that was equally good.

So... how was it? I am middling' on that one, but I support the local brewery!

It's called the Rancor burger. And it's every bit as delicious and messy as it looks. Big patty, cheese, thick bacon and a perfectly cooked egg on top. So frikkin good.

Wasn't that for the SWMBO?

What's the honest impression on that Freedom Isn't Free IPA? I had another of their beers (their Scotch Ale) that tasted like mud and was just horrid, but I had a friend who moved to the Twin Cities request a 6er of the IPA in exchange for Surly, so I guess there's something to it.

Water. About to go make my muscles hurt even more than they already do.

I probably should've tried the Mach 10 at Petrol earlier.

Same here. And I'm being serious. Nice bitterness but it's a Barley Wine otherwise and not a good one. You can just taste the cherry sweetness in the malt.

Yeah... I have had others from them that is good, but I am definitely mixed. I say, give every beer a chance!

Wow... the manhattans have caught up.

I'm quite serious as well. I don't know if it's from all the ipas I love now or what. But so many craft beers just taste like candy to me now. And I don't like candy.

I've heard through the grapevine that they've gotten QC under control and dialed it in a bit and their beer has improved, but I'm wary of spending anything to try their other beers. I hate dumping free beer, let alone something i paid for.

It was a big time gusher and I only got a third of it in the glass. It was just ok. Nothing wrong with it but nothing I would crave. The mission dipa on the other hand is a hell of a lot better than the big green can from mission that is the only one I had previously had..... And swmbo got the big glass.

Finally sold the car I bought on Sunday. Zero work, couple hours of phone calls, made $750.00. It's a good day!

Nail on the head. This beer wasn't supposed to be old until July.

I wouldn't send bad beer to anyone, but I am glad to hear about improvement. I think they used a bunch of CTZ.

Eeesh... so sorry? Will need to make that better. Never had a gusher from them before. Quick chill issues?

edit: good to hear that SWBMO got the better half. nice turn on the car buy!

Not suggesting you would. Like I said, I've had people who's palates I trust request it because they like it, just looking for the impression of others. I guess I'll have to buy some.

 

[PatrickGoss]

It had six hours in the fridge. Didn't taste infected at all. I am not worried about it. You shouldn't be either. You didn't make a mess of my kitchen like I did to Remmy!

My house is a mysterious vortex of gushers. It happens all the time here. It's the Beermuda triangle.

 

[PatrickGoss]

The real question is, if I were going to grab something aged in a bourbon barrel and sit on the porch for the next hour. What do I want?

 

[Hello]

Damn...that's puts me down by 9!



About to make a beer selection.

Hah and sorry I didn't come by. I had to eat and I was sleepy and dirty. Tomorrow for sure. It's worth the wait.

You go gurl. Was that the fishing date?

Yeah.

The real question is, did you hook the big fish?

I don't believe so.


Drinking this...

I have that happen all the time. Mostly with my HomeBrew!

That's horrible. Would you still recommend the Brew Bucket? I've been thinking of getting one.

Absolutely. I love the brew bucket. If you get the temp controller with the extensions, make sure they are sealed.
