I definitely wish I had one on right now.
I’ll be in Indy for Thanksgiving week/weekend, by the way. Could return your refilled Grolsch bottles. 
Sounds like a winner. I’d be happy to give you a couple bombers in return !
Mental thing with those beers = cold fall/ winter night. I usually realize that when I’m enjoying one mid summer.
Just had a hefeweizen and next will have a dance with her dark-haired sister, a dunkleweizen. In Western Massachusetts, we’ve had summer-like weather today–so a chance to return to the summer beers. But with the more typical November temps due this weekend, I’ll be back to an amber ale and porter by tomorrow.
Split a bomber of my wild black raspberry saison. The fruit brought something with it in secondary. The smell is wonderful; with light carbonation (only 2 weeks in the bottle). Not sure that I’m digging the back end of the taste though. Can’t put my finger on it, it’s just off. The plan now is to leave for another couple months and check it out again. Good thing I have other choices in the fridge. Think it’s time for an Ofest myself Ken
Finally trying the new Ruination. Not bad at all for a commercial DIPA. I like it much better than the new Pale Ale.
Pete,
What’s that???
Its the new Spencer Abbey Holiday Ale! It came out yesterday. I know its not being sold outside of Massachusetts but hopefully its distributed widely enough to find at a store near you. Its fantastic. I’ll post more in the commercial beer review thread.
Well, coffee at the moment. But last night I put a new keg on tap… a Citra & Amarillo pale ale. SRM 7-8, 2-row, some wheat, some C40. Nugget to bitter, Amarillo & Citra at 10 minutes, in the whirlpool and then more for dry hopping, 1056. It’s a beer that my wife likes me to make and this particular batch came out very nice and I also mentioned this one in a “should I gel a dry-hopped beer?” thread in the general category… it came out very nice and it’s got great clarity too. Cheers.
I agree, I think Ruination 2.0 is pretty solid for a year round IIPA. The 2.0 Pale Ale, not a huge fan.
Fresh tapped Saison kinda thin on the body cause of a low mash temp…
But leaves you wanting another glass peppery just barely 4 weeks from brew date.
The yeast was from Funkwerks in FtCol.
Big ol’mug of Munich dunkel tonight.
I loved that one. Tasty !
Had a Sam Smith’s Winter Ale last night and probably a Sam Smith’s India Ale tonight. It’s an English weekend!

Is the SS Winter Ale the same as Winter Warmer?
having a couple newcastles at some random vaguely airport related hotel in Chicago. after spending ~9 hours in the sacramento airport Southwest managed to get me half way home. here’s hoping for a better experience tomorrow!
Laguinitas born yesterday pale ale. I really like this one. Good hop flavor.

I am recovering from elk hunting (it sucks to be old and fat) from this morning with a Murphy’s stout and a wee bit of Jamesons.
The local gas station is selling a funky coldpack consisting ten 16.9 oz. nitrogen widget cans of Murphy’s stout for $7. That is a good deal. The stout tastes great. The boys at hunting camp wouldn’t drink it (stuck to Coors) so I got to bring it home. 8)
Elk hunting sounds likes a good time … I’m a country boy and enjoy a good hunt.
