The Beer Nerd - what are you drinking / brewing thread

Fiddlehead Rarefied Air Pale Ale

 

Honolulu Beerworks. My first brewery I ever visited.

 

The Village - bottle shop / tasting room. Nothing great on tap (as expected from Hawaii) but had a few decent pours


Waikiki Brewing - meh. Not great. Not terrible.

 

Another one from @uhplifted

 

Cool! Have to see if I can find this one. I really like their brews.

 

Straight up shot o rum

 

This is tasty. Especially after sweating my ass off all day

 

So, in looking around for ratings on Oktoberfest beers I was kind of surprised to see Sierra Nevada at the #2 spot on Ba. Good but not really a stand out considering all the others I've enjoyed.

 

I agree. Not the best, but not the worst.

 

National Beer Lover’s Day is observed annually on September 7th.

"Beer and the process of brewing beer may predate known history. As varied as the methods, grains, and flavors, beer continues to change and evolve over time.

Virginia colonists brewed beer. William Penn included a place for brewing beer within the colony of Pennsylvania which can still be visited at Pennsbury Manor today. The first President of the United States recorded a recipe for brewing beer in his notes. Samuel Adams holds a place in both beer and tea history in this country. There were a few beer lovers and patriots among the nation’s founders.

The United States also derives its rich brewing history from beer-loving German immigrants during the mid-1800s. Some of those immigrants families’ names are as familiar today as they were a hundred years ago.

While some names have faded into the past, smaller batch brewers continue to experiment with old and new recipes. The crafting of beer carries rich traditions, often requiring years of training and experience in the trade. Depending on the brewery, the path to brewmaster may take years to develop the skill and expertise necessary to produce a quality beer every time. One certain requirement is a love of beer and the craft."
