All Day Grapefruit G

Prefer the original All Day IPA, seems like a watered down version with very modest grapefruit notes.

Mortal Bloom G

Surprisingly well done with hints of sweet citrus over tropical fruits and a fainter hops bitter. Goes well with tonight’s dinner of salmon, shrimp & asparagus.

Citrus Squall G

Light bodied easy drinker that is sweet with big citrus aroma and flavor. Surprised to see the ABV is 8%, it is well disguised.

Nordic Spring G

Enjoying this with another great dinner from Rosa P.

60 Minute IPA G

Appetizer up! Smoked trout with horseradish sauce

Nordic Spring G

Nice blend of pine, citrus, malt & juniper! Second round of garden planning in progress.

60 Minute IPA G

Round 2 and no complaints about the Grandma pie!

60 Minute IPA G

Added a stuffed pie to the mix for round three

60 Minute IPA G

First beer of the weekend! Rosa & I stopped here for dinner on the way home from work.

French Toast Bastard G

Lives up to its name! Maple is most prominent in the flavor profile - despite the ABV, this one’s not going to last long enough to warm up. Speaking of the ABV, it is well hidden. The Buffalo Trace is great, too - it’s a private barrel just for here.

Mortal Bloom G

Smooth and delicious with a grapefruit like citrus vibe going on. Goes very well with our St. Bernardus Quadruple beer cheese.

4 Giants Tropical Treasure G

Sticking with a winner for tonight’s dinner!

4 Giants Tropical Treasure G

Nice to revisit a tasty friend. Last beer before dinner is ready

Centennial IPA G

Hints of malt and grapefruit peel over a modest hops bitter. Almost 284,000 logins and I’ve never had this before?!?!?

4 Giants Tropical Treasure G

Sweet pineapple over tangerines & lemons. Mild bitterness in the background. Good stuff in my glass.

60 Minute IPA G

Round 2 at Buddy Clarke’s is a return visit with the first IPA that I honestly enjoyed.

The Perfect Pairing Pale Ale G

Didn’t try cheddar cheese, but it certainly pairs well with spicy meatballs. Thanks, Nancy!

All Day Haze G

Another round of revisiting tasty beer from the past.

All Day Haze G

Very well done - goes great with our wings

60 Minute IPA G

In the Banquet Room at Bisaille’s for Beandip’s big 50 bash

Syrax G

Light bodied & smooth. Modest hints of grapefruit pith

Snowbound Vanilla Porter G

Initial sweetness over modest roasted & coffee notes. Big vanilla ~ chocolate vibe rolls in. Velvet smooth and ABV is invisible

Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter G

Lots of good things going on here - dates, fig, cherries, vanilla, caramel & booziness. Sweeter than expected, it’s not an issue. Well done & delicious. Today’s sports day starts in the UAE where it’s Shabab Al Ali Dubai 0 - 1 Al Ain SC - 36 minutes in

All Day IPA G

First beer of the day at the Easton Garlic Festival

Blue Hen G

Round 25

Mango Smoovie G

Just when you think you’re all out of a good thing isn’t it nice to find one more hiding in the depths of the beer fridge.

Mango Smoovie G

Stunned to find one of these still hiding in the depths of the beer fridge! No complaints, has held up nicely and goes well with tonight’s dinner.

Where the Wild Hops Are G

Dinner is served!

Where the Wild Hops Are G

Dinner was great, service was friendly - having one more before we call it a day

Where the Wild Hops Are G

Round 2 at the Sports Zoo. Trying some really good Hungarian mushroom soup while we wait for dinner to come out

All Day IPA G

The Iron Maidens continue to rock it out

All Day IPA G

More great beer and more great music from tonight’s headliner - The Iron Maidens

All Day IPA G

The Iron Maidens continue to rock the house…if they play in your area you need to see them

All Day IPA G

Girls, Girls, Girls! takes the stage!

KBS Espresso G

Smooth and chocolate over roasted coffee and modest boozy notes. Charred oak and boozy notes float around in the background. Good stuff in my glass.

Where the Wild Hops Are G

Round 7 on the Bangin Beers Podcast

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa G

Pushing my luck with the cinnamon today….velvet smooth with cocoa and vanilla jumping out right away. Cinnamon is in the background and well balanced - that will probably change as it warms. The Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve isn’t too shabby either

90 Minute Imperial IPA G

Nice & malty IPA to go with tonight’s dinner

4 Giants IPA (2021) G

Well done - malty with a complex flavor profile mixing it up underneath. Not sure what all is going on down there, but it is delicious

Oktoberfest G

Semper Fi and happy birthday to all my Marine Corps brothers & sisters - here’s to 246 more years!

Hazy-O! G

Flyers still have a chance to pull it out - down by one with 2 minutes left in third period.

Más Agave Premium Hard Seltzer Lime G

Not a fan of this, nothing nice to say so I’ll just shut up

Festina Lente 2017 G

Big hit of brett funk& hay before the peaches & tartness kick in. Well done! This bottle says the ABV is 6.5%. Don’t see a date anywhere, but this is release #008

Hazy-O! G

70 minutes in and Celtic still up 3-1. Can’t hate on Liam Boyce, too many good memories from Cliftonville.

All Day Vacay G

Light and smooth with a gentle touch of citrus. Another one that was served ice cold on a hot day

Más Agave Grapefruit G

Big hits off the barrel right away, but not what I would call boozy. Smooth over a modest sour with grapefruit and faint tequila linger on the finish.

Mango Smoovie G

Slightly tart mango & vanilla. Lactose is balanced and well checked. Delicious. Sporting my new Bangin Beers Podcast pint glasses from Teespring!

Nemesis (2021) G

Malty & hoppy with boozy undertones. Hints of dried stone fruits and a modest pine linger on the finish

Grolsch Premium Lager G

One of my all time favorites. One of my introductory beers on the path away from Bud-Miller-Coors

DKML G

Tap at Humboldt Mystery Bag #1, beer #2 - another revisit from one of my all time favorites! This is from the 2017 release & was bottled on 14 July 2017. Sweet, malty, vanilla, boozy, bourbon amazingness in my glass. Goes down way too easy for 14.2% ABV.

Backwoods Bastard (2019) G

Nice surprise hiding in the back of fridge! This one was bottled on 21 October 2019. Heavy, boozy, dark stone fruits, caramel - chocolate deliciousness in my glass! Will have to grab another drink later for New Brew Thursday.

Oude Geuze Boon à l'Ancienne - VAT 79 Mono Blend G

Sharp tartness on the nose. Huge oak notes everywhere. ABV is completely hidden. I like it.

Punkin Ale (2020) G

Glad to find another pumpkin beer that isn’t a spice bomb. Nicely done with pumpkin as the primary flavor with undertones of cinnamon and other holiday spices

Backwoods Bastard (2019) G

One more until after lunch....a high horsepower goody!
