The Beer Nerd - what are you drinking / brewing thread

Forgot I had these in the back hiding.

 

V3.0 of my still to be perfected pale ale. This one spent way too long in the fermenter and that’s my fault, but the hop presence is so subdued it’s more like a dark blonde. It’s drinkable, but far from my favorite beer I’ve made. My last iteration was a sink pour so I’m making progress lol

 

Edmunds Oast never disappoints, Oktoberfest was no different.

 

One of the crowlers from hanging with Brian and the beer haul my mom brought me.

 

Which one was that? Foggy or declever?

 

Mmmmmmmmmmm

 

Foggy D. Pretty good. This was better tho

 

So I lied that the Marzen was my first kegged beer. To break my Anvil Foundry in, I brewed a simple blonde ale. I proceeded to keg it and left it in the fridge with no gas on it whatsoever while I dragged my feet on finishing my keg set up. I chalked it up as a loss, but I went ahead and put gas on it and let it sit. Turns out it’s a damn fine beer and the only beer out of 3 on tap that I am enjoying right now.

 

Have not cracked open salesman gave sample?

 

Like ... good back of the tongue IPA , not much Pineapple which is ok would buy $
Cheers

Cheers

 

I'm really wondering how a kviek lager works, since they seem to sit at opposite ends of the fermenting temp spectrum. Was it a kviek yeast done at a lager temp?

 

Prost!

 

I honestly wouldn’t even call it a lager. It’s a decent beer, but not lager-y at all. There’s definitely a kveik twang for lack of a better term.

 

...and a Spaten Oktoberfest with dinner
