How about you? As for me:
London Porter (adapted from a Fuller’s clone)
Raspberry Porter
Saison Buffoon (co-fermented with Blaugies and Dupont yeasts)
Plum Soured Saison (kettle soured with lacto, with red plum puree. Idea from Orpheus Brewing’s Atalanta. Re-pitch of yeast from above batch)
ESB (adapted from 2011 NHC Gold-winning recipe)
Rochefort 8 clone
cherry apple hard cider
Happy to report they’re all tasty, and hoping they’ll get me through Christmas.
I have 3 porters: brown, smoked, and spruce, plus an amber ale that I’d happily drown in…
Hazy ipa
Braunbier
Berry Belgian Cider
German Pils
Up next: red rye, Schwarzbier
I guess my signature says it all…
I have my homage to Landlord and Newcastle on tap. The turkey goes on the smoker first think tomorrow AM. Have a great Thanksgiving!
The Christmas Special is lagering and will be tapped in three weeks when the Landlord kicks.
Wow! That’s quite a list. Here’s hoping your liver makes it to New Years. ;D
You can hear me chuckling, right? I have a couple dinners coming up (next one 9 people) + the silent auction at work for charity + Christmas parties + taking beer home for Christmas to family and friends. It’s not my liver that will suffer but meeting the expectations of everyone who’s expecting a little taste.
Oatmeal Stout
Porter
Christmas Beer (Dark beer and mulling spices)
Kolsch
ESB
California Common
Porter, Hazelnut Porter, Christmas Stout, Oatmeal Stout, Oatmeal Stout with Coffee, Oatmeal Stout with Black Currant.
P**s Lite not allowed in my house!
Cheers!
Excellent work everyone! Now you know how I get my ideas for what to brew next. You’re making me very thirsty and it’s only 10:30 am. It’s a good thing I also have my home roasted coffee to satisfy that craving for quality beverage this early in the day.
BrewBama, no doubt that bird is smoking up nicely by now. I’ll be hosting a Thanksgiving Redux party a little more than a week from now and will likewise smoke a bird. Stating the obvious here, but I find smoked meats go very well indeed with homebrew.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Is there anything that doesn’t go well with homebrew?
Porter, Brown Porter, Oktoberfest, Rye Amber, and a Czech Pilsner.
Currently:
Rye Porter (about 1/2 a Keg left)
Session IPA w/El Dorado and Nelson Sauvin (1 keg left)
Kolsch (almost empty)
Hard Cider (almost empty)
I don’t have any kegs waiting, but I’ve got 10 gallons of Wee Heavy in primary that I brewed Wednesday. Tomorrow I’m brewing 10 gallons of a Red Rye Ale. And I’m going to get a Cream Ale in later in the week to have ready for Christmas. If time and space permits, I’m also going to be brewing a Landlord clone and my NEIPA before christmas.
For Christmas I will have :
American IPA w/Amarillo
American Pale Ale (w/ less late hops than usual)
Christmas Ale (Amber Ale w/Simcoe)
It’ll definitely be a hoppy new year.
Molé Porter
Flanders Red w/ Raspberries
Belgian Blonde
White Wine Saison
Blonde Ale, ESB and an AIPA. No lagers until 2018.
Pils, Helles, American Blonde, tripel, Midwest pale (NE IPA made to pale ale standards), Czech Dark, Bretted Dry Stout (my current favorite), Czech Amber. All are great with leftover smoked turkey!
Wow! Indeed, the list reads like “amazing beers to pair with Thanksgiving turkey”. Bravo.
Rye APA two ways, one with 34/70, the other with Abbey yeast, Rye Saison, and just brewed a Rye German Pils yesterday.
I like Rye.
I had a Robust Porter for after dinner and a Cranberry-Orange Spiced hard cider that was excellent before dinner. Both on tap, the cider was a huge hit.
I’m panicking a little bit, I’ve blown 2/3 taps this week and the 3rd can’t be too far behind. I have a faux NEIPA I brewed tonight, but I’m getting a little inspiration from this thread. Hope I can find some time before the holidays to fill out the rest. Fam isn’t much of a dark beer fan, but I’m thinking a horchata beer and a hibiscus orange wit?
