fishnbowljoe Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Not drinking, but I did purchase some Three Floyd’s Alpha King today for my son. Glad I did. We got home to find out that he’d came over to our house and mowed the front lawn. Win-Win. Biba! Joe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sven Heuchert Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Both nice. I liked the ginger-beer better, as we had it one a pretty hot and humid day here in Teutonia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 It’s already Thursday?!?!?! And, it’s 5:00?!?!?! Ya-Hoooo!!! 2019 Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest. This years collaboration is with Bitburger. Gorgeous color, and nice maltiness. I thought a touch Wine-ish on my first taste, but that was fleeting and maybe just a weird thing with my palate. Solid beer and another six pack will get picked up for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Bell’s Oktoberfest on a balmy 92 degree afternoon. Maybe it’s the temps, but this Bell’s is the weekest of the Oktoberfests I’ve been working through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Heuchert Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 German Bourbon Barrel Bock. Pretty good, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Keeping the Oktoberfest beer train going. Local brewery Red Hare Hasenpfeffer Oktoberfest Lager. Yeah, just OK. Nothing really much to talk about, honestly. A bit of caramel sweetness early, and maltiness notes poke through. Drinkable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the handsome can. This is my favorite beer drinking season, and I like to go through as many as I can. I typically go with US brewed Oktoberfests in September, then switch to the German brews in October. For a person who is so organizationally challenged I couldn’t oraganize a two-car parade, I seem to be able to plan my Fall beer drinking regimen for some reason... My 5 o’clock Monday candidate is Goose Island’s Oktoberfest. I like this better than last years effort, particularly the biscuitty finish on it. Very creamy with a not over the top caramelliness over the palate. Or maybe, it’s I opened it with one of the coolest bottle openers I’ve seen...

smokinjoe Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Budweiser Black Lager out back. Lager aged over 6yr JimBeam Barrel staves. Healthy 7.1 ABV. Velvety mouthfeel. Not overly sweet and wth some nice chocolate notes. A bit too much black licorice flavor for my tastes, but not overpowering. I like much better than the copper lager collaboration with Beam last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarSurfer55 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 In the process of closing up the RV for the season. Rainey day so I have a pause. Watching Football and having a Kona Pipeline Porter. Looking forward to a bit of pork butt that I smoked later today. A good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been through on again, off again rain delays at baseball games before, so I decided to pass on the Cubs game today. However, my son and one of his best friends (from Florida) are there now. My son sent me a pic when they got there a couple of hours ago. Biba! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, if the game got rained out you wouldn't have been far from Binny's Lincoln Park store. However, since it didn't and the Cubs got swept, the bar at that store could've helped ease your pain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Met a couple coworkers for a couple after work (Uban Chestnut's Dorfbier and a Velvet Underbrown) and now having this one with some pizza at home. Gonna sleep well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratchline Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Oktoberfest continues. This is very nice. Just slightly more hoppy than the Ayinger but very well balanced and easily quaffable. Grimm does a fine marzen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
