Day 307 #beervid19
Toppling Goliath
Fire, Skulls, and Money
NE IPA
I think I'm burning out on IPA again. Probably time for another IPAcation, or at least a serious reduction in the number of them consumed.
Day 306 #beervid19
Anchorage Brewing
Chomp The Wicked
IPA w/pineapple
Interesting. I liked the pineapple, but think different hop choices would work better. However, of someone offers me a can of this I won't turn it down.
Day 306 #beervid19
Upper Hand Brewing
Light
American light beer
More flavorful than most american lights, though that ain't saying much. Still, it would be a fine beer for an afternoon at the ballpark.
Day 305 #beervid19
Upper Hand Brewing
Yellow Hex
Gose-style ale?
Nicely thirst quenching after a long, oddly warm, day of work.
Day 304 #beervid19
Upper Hand Brewing
IPA
Solid IPA, mildly piney.
Part of that package of Michigan beers from the previous post.
Day 304 #beervid19
Upper Hand Brewing
Laughing Fish
Refreshing summer ale
The stars have aligned! A perfect conjunction of
* I was on the flatland side of the hill
* I remembered a pending package full of beer at a friend's house
* And I had the keys to their place.
So now I've got a package of tasty new beers to explore.
Day 303 #beervid19
3 Sons Brewing
Dope Down Under
IPA
Tasty. Interesting kind of sweet-grapefruit flavor.
Day 301 #beervid19
Toppling Goliath
Mosaic Dry Hop Pseudo Sue
Hazy IPA
Not so much hazy as foggy. Pretty good. Citrusy, with some other fruit overtones.
Day 301 #beervid19
Adroit Theory
Information Overdose
Schwarzbier
This is pretty tasty. A bit like a rauchbier, light mouthfeel, good maltiness, sessionable ABV.
Day 298 #beervid19
Elysian
Space Dust
IPA
Latest gift in the exchange stash at Lower Helicopter. Beerocaching - it's like geocaching, except with beers.
Day 292 #beervid19
Firestone Walker
Luponic Distortion #17
IPA
Not my favorite in the series, but that's a pretty high bar to reach. I'll still be drinking it regularly while it's available.
First new beer for 2021. 2020 was pretty dire in terms of new beers - the first year since 2013 where I've logged fewer than 300 new beers for the year.
Day 282 #beervid19
Stickmen
Bananas on Fire
Dunkelweizen
This was a surprise - it's a little bit banana-y, but mostly a dunkel. Nicely malty, smooth, and stronger than it tastes.
Day 277 #beervid19
New Bohemia
Double Vision
NE-style hazy 2x IPA
Could be really good, but marred by alcohol taste.
Drinking that Space Dust this afternoon was a mistake - my productivity went to hell. At 9% ABV, this one ain't gonna help that situation. But it's late evening and I'm just puttering with hobby stuff now.
Day 277 #beervid19
Elysian
Space Dust
IPA
The latest drop box exchange. Doggo1 and I decided to chill with it at Lower Helicopter.
Day 276 #beervid19
New Bohemia
Captain F.G.S.
Baltic porter
Rich and tasty, this is a fine beer for sitting by the fire on chilly damp winter night.
Day 276 #beervid19
Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing
Ginger's Winter Warmer
This was a surprise. I read expecting something malty and heavy, but it's actually rather light. Nice spicy nip from the ginger and jalapeno.
Day 273 #beervid19
Founders
Backwoods Bastard
Oak barrel aged scotch ale
Ohhhhhh this is soooo tasty!
Celebrating progress on the office yurt. We're about an afternoon from having it fully enclosed and ready to start moving stuff in.
