Nice day off today...hung out this morning with the granddaughter before taking her to visit her parents, got my power-walk exercise done and a little shopping too...including stop(s) for beer.

First off is a Prairie Artisan "Lemon Slice" sour ale. Very lemony and tart.

And a couple I didn't post from last night:

Bow & Arrow "So Far So Bueno hazy IPA

Destihl "A Touch of Haze" IPA

La Cumbre "Sun Fade" v2022 hazy IPA. Always a spring fave of mine...super juice bomb hazy

Every year the local women brewers get together and collaborate on a brew with much of the proceeds going to charities. This year they did their brew - a pale ale - at Steel Bender Brewyard.

NM Pink Boots Society "Hop Heroine" pale ale.

After dinner TV time and music time...IPA time.

Ex Novo "Threat Level: Turquoise" IPA

Ex Novo "Bedrock Push Pop" milkshake hazy IPA

Flix Brewhouse "Vampire Juice" hazy IPA with blood orange...bloody good!

A couple lighter pilsners today...

Oskar Blues "Mama's Little Yella" Pilsner. Not bad, middle of the pack stuff.

Gravity Bound "On the Run" pilsner. Top stuff. Light and crisp yet packed with flavor....so well done.

And then a hazy IPA, La Cumbre "Sun Fade" v2022

Brew day. We had to use the 20gal Poncho as a mash tun since it was an English Barleywine, over 20# of malt, and is just a bit too big for a 10 gallon.
we drank an 8 year Founders KBS Vertical (2013-2019 and a 2021 variant). It drops off quite a bit after 5 years so drink them within 4 for the most flavor.

18th Street Brewing Hunter Vanilla
http://www.18thstreetbrewery.com/news/2018/6/11/hunter-vanillaA very tasty and afordable milk stout out of Indiana.

Three Floyds Moloko Stout

Brooklyn Brewery Monster Ale. A 10 year old American Barleywine.
I didn't like it fresh, waaay too bitter, and had my doubts it would last this long. It was a solid, malty barleywine with enough residual bitterness to not be sweet.

And finally Petrus Rood Bruin, a Belgian Sour Brown Ale. I would call it an entry level sour but it was a nice flavor with probably half the acid of a Jacobins.

All this in one day?? How are you not blitzed out of your mind? Or at least not very hungover the next day...

What? 3 beers in 1 day? Not much, right? I mean, I don't think. I LOVE BEER!

Sure, but the 32oz 7.9%er is more like 4 beers on its own, right? Does look tasty though!

LOL! Yep. hahaha. Well, 4 horribly terrible watered down beers anyway.

Pacing. Water between glasses, and I suppose tolerance. Also, I may post 2 or 3 photos that I had over 4 or 5 hours as I was watching tv/movie or listing to music (hopefully in 5.1!). Yes, I do get a buzz but very rarely really totaled as I don't like that feeling at all...a good moderate beer-buzz on the weekend is good enough for me!

Home over an hour ago but busy doing this and that while sipping he Friday night brews....

Gravity Bound "On the Run" pilsner

Boxing Bear "Space Walk" IPA

I love beer. Good kick-yer-ass high ABV, high IBU beers. I only drink on the weekend. Limit is 2 on Friday and 3 on Saturday. Rarely but sometimes 1 on Sunday. Like Doppels said. water ( and fine cheese said I ) between beers and the beers are drank in about a 3 to 4 hours duration. Nice, manageable buzz with flavor enjoyments.

Oh yeah, nice cheese goes very well! I'm not a soft brie person (though once in a while it's enjoyable, port salud is one I enjoy) but a good sharp hard cheese with a beer is a delicious nosh. I quite like the sharp cheddar/gruyere blend I get at Trader Joe's...Oni the cat loves it too and he's picky so there you go.

 

[cbmmm3]

spot on Doppels !!!! A sharp cheddar. Or an Extra Sharp Cheddar !!!!!!

When I saw the can I instantly though of Wile E. Coyote especially as the beer company is called Gravity Bound!
