Great stuff.


Question: Anyone 33 or old still able to get hammered one night and be ultra productive the next day?

 

I’m 30, and that’s a negative.

 

I mean, I've been getting a good buzz a few nights a week and still getting things done the next day, but I wouldn't say hammered. The kid has put a damper on that. Last time was new years and I was dead to the world the next day haha

 

Straight 50/50 mix

 

37 here, hangovers only get worse with age.

 

I honestly expected this to be a hazy. Nice little surprise there, but not as bitter as I like in a non-hazy

 

So I’m sort of like, I know things will eventually get better but part of me is also like yolo so I wanted a beer to remember tonight.

I didn’t open a 12, but this is the best Dubbel I’ve ever had. I promise I’m not just giving in to the hype. This is smooth and has plum and raisin for days. I don’t know how a 12 can possibly be better.

 

Cheers! Drink local# (60 miles away )

 

Haven't posted in a while. Beers from the last week or so. The gf started one of those monthly beer subscription boxes.

 

are you and @YotaBum related? So many stouts lol

 

lol I love my stouts

 

Man I'm only 23 and it's already starting to be hit or miss.

 

It is. Just drink it. It's not life changing, but like you said, YOLO. What occasion are you waiting for? It's a 12oz, not like you're going to share it with everyone.

 

My go to!

 

Sampled my newly kegged Amarillo-Simcoe Pale and I swear I had it once and the combo was like rainbow sherbert. This time, more dank and green.

Also this Bruery cellar filler i tried to drink through but it wasnt working. Just not the right flavors....

 

You're right.

My only complaint now is that I don’t have more 8s and now Belgian Mart is shut down due to the pandemic.

I’m saving my 12s for comparison sake once I get a clone brewed. My Single is fermenting happily away at 75f right now and that will make a nice yeast cake for my clone 12.

 

I just had one of my Dubbels. Doesn't compare, but it scratches the Belgian itch.

 

My first home brewed dubbel is unfortunately sitting on cherries right now for a few more weeks. I am practicing for a Christmas beer trade on Homebrewtalk.com.

I did take a sample before racking to the cherries and it was very promising, although a little more dry than I was expecting, finishing at 1.008. I will be brewing another again soon to bottle and let sit until winter.
