KBS Spicy Chocolate (2023) Gnomeboy

4th straight day of heat advisory. Sucks. Cheers!

Breakfast Stout Gnomeboy

Porter Gnomeboy

Good with a burger.

Kbs (2023) Gnomeboy

Happy International Chocolate Day. If you're local, I'm also happy it rained and dropped temps into the 70s day.

KBS - Chocolate Espresso Gnomeboy

Pretty dang good, but I was hoping for a little more espresso character. Chocolate and sweetness nice! Too damn hot outside side in the house with ceiling fan wide open, pretending it's cool stout weather.

Mortal Bloom Gnomeboy

Citrus Sunrise Gnomeboy

Reminds me of a Tequila Sunrise in looks and taste. Just add some tartness and a touch of salt. You could drink this stuff on the rocks. Playing on my Amazon Music (we moved indoors) "More Than One Way Home" Keb' Mo".

Citrus Squall Gnomeboy

These are great for drinking right out of the beer frig on a warm day. Grapefruit & agave.

KBS Blueberry Gnomeboy

Well, it was a KBS Blueberry. Now playing at the Porch Pub "Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain" by the rain. $1 to the Cascades. Not listening to circadas. Woo hoo!

KBS Spicy Chocolate (2023) Gnomeboy

The Porch Pub is now The Circada. Circadas on the porch on my left, on my right, and in the bushes in front of me. As long as they behave and don't sing their horny song, they can stay. Now playing at the Circada, "Chains and Things" B. B. King (RIP).

KBS Chocolate Cherry (2022) Gnomeboy

Now playing at the back deck, "Dazed and Confused," Led Zeppelin.

90 Minute Imperial IPA Gnomeboy

The somewhat famous malty IPA. Now playing at the back deck, "Weight of the World", Marc Broussard.

KBS Spicy Chocolate (2023) Gnomeboy

After an on and off 6 hour deluge of rain, the skies cleared, cool, dry breezes prevail. Now playing at the Porch Pub: Lose Control, Teddy Swims.

Breakfast Stout (2023) Gnomeboy

KBS Blueberry Gnomeboy

Love the tangy blueberry. Now playing at the Porch Pub: TV Mama by Bobby Rush. "She's my big hip woman Prettiest thing you ever seen She's my TV mama One with the big wide screen"

KBS Hazelnut (2022) Gnomeboy

#SpringCleaning #Beer #Frig It's a dirty job, but I get to do it.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2022) Gnomeboy

Might be classified as a pastry stout.

Breakfast Stout Gnomeboy

Now playing at the Porch Pub, Sultans of Swing by 40 Fingers.

Chocolate Cherry KBS Gnomeboy

Delicious leftover from Valentines. First day in the 60s in a while. The Porch Pub is open.

KBS Spicy Chocolate (2023) Gnomeboy

Starts out with mild pepper burn that fades quickly, then bathes your taste buds with delicious chocolate. Hard to say when not taste-tested against other KBS variants, but this one seems the most chocolaty.

Backwoods Bastard Gnomeboy

For Valentine's Day, we're having Linda's choice, a ruby red Scotish ale wee heavy-styled ale from Founders Brewery.

Citrus Squall Gnomeboy

Citrus Squall Gnomeboy

Porter Gnomeboy

Hits the spot with a burger.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2023) Gnomeboy

KBS Blueberry Gnomeboy

Porter Gnomeboy

Greenberg smoked turkey sammy, swiss cheese & a robust porter. Perfection.

Porter Gnomeboy

Wife opened it, decided she wanted another beer instead, so I'm forced to drink a very good robust porter. I was actually planning to have one with a smoked turkey sandwich this evening. I still will, too.

KBS Blueberry Gnomeboy

Love the tart twang of the blueberries.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2023) Gnomeboy

The expected flavor, nicely melded chocolate, coffee, rich mapleness.

Nitro CBS (2019) Gnomeboy

Same flavor as the 2023 CBS today, but not as much booziness.

KBS Hazelnut (2022) Gnomeboy

Either this or the Expresso variation is my favorite variation of KBS. I go back and forth on it. Either way, cheers, it's stout weather on a beautiful day in North Carolina.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2020) Gnomeboy

Today is International Barrel-aged Beer day. What could be more iconic than a KBS?

Citrus Squall Gnomeboy

Citrus Squall Gnomeboy

This is growing on me, picked up another six.

KBS Hazelnut (2022) Gnomeboy

Can't sit on the porch and watch the storm. All hells broken loose. High wind and rain coming down in sheets. Cheers! The chocolaty flavor always surprises me.

Más Agave Prickly Pear Gnomeboy

90 Minute Imperial IPA Gnomeboy

Breakfast Stout Gnomeboy

Today may be the closest we get the rest of the summer to a cool weather stout day.

Tequila Barrel Imp Gose Gnomeboy

I'm mourning the loss of a 2022 BBA Narwhal and a fav tulip glass. I had a sip and inadvertently set it down on a peanut butter pretzel nugget. Off the table it tipped and fell.

Porter Gnomeboy

Yesterday. Perfect companion for a ribeye. When in Texas.....

Porter Gnomeboy

With a homemade burger with all the fixins'

Tequila Barrel Imp Gose Gnomeboy

Lightly tart, a bit of sweetness and Tequila barrel. Not too dry, quite refreshing.

Más Agave Grapefruit Gnomeboy

Backwoods Bastard Gnomeboy

Reading a Hop Culture article thru UNTAPPD about Scotch Ales and decided to kick off the weekend with a WeeHeavy on hand.

90 Minute Imperial IPA Gnomeboy

Rübæus Gnomeboy

Breakfast Stout Gnomeboy

On this date in 1933 the Cullen–Harrison Act came into force after having been signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt thus beginning the end of Prohibition in the United States. This is why today is #NationalBeerDay. Cheers

Slightly Mighty Gnomeboy

Basketball game brew

90 Minute Imperial IPA Gnomeboy

Great day to be outside enjoying spring weather and a great beer.

Mango Magnifico (2022) Gnomeboy

Slightly Mighty Gnomeboy

A bit thin and weaker flavored, but way better than expected, if graded as a low-cal style it's pretty good, just not as an ipa. At 4% it'll work for knocking down basketball tournament beers.

KBS Hazelnut (2022) Gnomeboy

Taste even better than usual when your team pulls off what some are calling a do or die last basketball game of the regular season against the #12 team.

Más Agave Grapefruit Gnomeboy

90 Minute Imperial IPA Gnomeboy

Blushing Monk (2019) Gnomeboy

Beer from yesterday. My last of the 2019 batch. Such an enjoyable beer to drink. I wish this raspberry ale was the annual beer and Rubaeus was the intermittent ale.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2022) Gnomeboy

One way to brighten a gloomy overcast day.

Chocolate Cherry KBS Gnomeboy

Tasty. But personally I was hoping for a little more tart Michigan cherry flavor.

90 Minute Imperial IPA Gnomeboy

Always enjoyable to come back to this one. For me it's a lesson in balancing balancing bitter and sweet for the slightly sweeter good.

KBS Hazelnut (2022) Gnomeboy

Enjoying one of the nicer days we've had in a bit. Cheers!🍻

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2022) Gnomeboy

Dessert before dinner this evening.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2020) Gnomeboy

It was a special occasion. I discovered I had more than one stashed.

KBS Gnomeboy

Always a good go to when you have that weekend feeling.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge Gnomeboy

Tell if you've heard this one. Two sexy imperial stouts walk into a bar. One is a very tasty red 750 wine barrel age stout, the other a 12 oz. decadent dessert stout. I got drunk.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2022) Gnomeboy

early dessert.

Belgian Twist Gnomeboy

Been a long time since Linda & I set on the bachelor deck@3:30 pm and enjoyed a beer. Belgian Tripel brewed with blue agave nectar enjoyed directly from the beer frig@ 40-45 degrees F. carpe diem.

Mango Magnifico (2022) Gnomeboy

Más Agave Grapefruit Gnomeboy

Hands down my favorite Mas Agave variant.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2022) Gnomeboy

I always stash some Founders and other's barrel-aged stouts fot the cool weather. There are always a few that don't make it.

Mango Magnifico (2022) Gnomeboy

Mango Magnifico (2022) Gnomeboy

First had Magnifico in 2013 and loved it. Last one I had was 2018. So happy to snag a batch of it today. Still enjoy the Mango sweetness that might have been too sweet for me if not for the tangy habanero burn in the finish.

KBS Espresso Gnomeboy

KBS Hazelnut (2022) Gnomeboy

Taste like the Tigers won their regional, heading for super regional CWS. Pulling for Vandy to beat Oregon so Auburn hosts a Super Regional.

Backwoods Bastard Gnomeboy

Más Agave Grapefruit Gnomeboy

It just seemed like the right beer on a day we broke 80. It was.

KBS Hazelnut (2022) Gnomeboy

Smells like boozy hazelnut coffee. I lose the bozziness in the initial taste, just hazelnut coffee to my taste, finishing with chocolate notes and roastiness.

Velvet Rush Gnomeboy

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa (2021) Gnomeboy

It's dessert time and Flonase time.

Campfire Amplifier Gnomeboy

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa (2021) Gnomeboy

All the leaves are brown But the sky isn't gray. I been backyard sippin' On such a winter's day. I'm safe and warm in North Carolina Surprisingly not that different in Grand Rapids today. North Carolina dreaming on such a winter's day ($1 to the Mama's

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2019) Gnomeboy

Enjoying for the first time what any #AUburn alumni are experiencing a #1 ranked basketball team. Working at Duke 30 years I met Duke coaches and players, pulled for 4 National Titles, but as an AUburn alumni, our AUburn Bball guys take the cake #WarEagle

Backwoods Bastard Gnomeboy

I'm not sure who I'm for in the game, but I knew what beer I'd drink... Been saving this beer ever since we knew it was Georgia vs Alabama.

Más Agave Grapefruit Gnomeboy

Used to think of the Mas Agaves as warm weather beers till this evening. They're good anytime.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2020) Gnomeboy

Stout weather is here and somebody is excited.

Dirty Bastard Gnomeboy

This ale is good, but for me, honestly, it's all about the ruby red color and the cool glass.

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa Gnomeboy

Often when I read a brewers description of the beer I don't taste everything in the description. This isn't usually the case with Founder's description of beers. Chocolate, coffee, cinnamon, hint of vanilla, not overly sweet, it's all there on my tongue.

KBS Gnomeboy

It seems wrong to have this beer when it's in the 80s out here. But it doesn't taste wrong. Happy National Beer 🍺 btw.

Velvet Rush Gnomeboy

It's all there, coffee, chocolate, vanilla, milk sugar & bourbon barrels. It had a sweet booziness that harks back to days of my youth under-age sipping of the Original Southern Comfort. To Founders Brewing's credit it's not as sweet as Southern Comfort.

KBS Espresso (2020) Gnomeboy

A little 4pm coffee pick me up. This brew is on the short list of things that didn't suck about 2020😃 🍻

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2018) Gnomeboy

Happy 34th Anniversary weekend to us.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2020) Gnomeboy

#Firepit #Friday sippin' weather in North Carolina.

Porter Gnomeboy

Peanut butter banana & almond slivers sandwich with a good robust porter, it's AUsome! Who knew? ME!

Blushing Monk Gnomeboy

🍺IT'S NATIONAL BEER DAY🍻 04-07-1933: President F.D. Roosevelt took steps toward ending Prohibition & signed a law allowing brewing/selling beer in the U.S.A below 4.0% alcohol. Beer drinkers were able to purchase beer again for the 1st time in 13 years

Panther Cub (2021) Gnomeboy

After drinking porters for a week, I think Robust porter may mean American craft beer porter w/ stuff in it not usually in porters. While the dominate maple sweetness/bourbon, and touch of vanilla doesn't taste to me like porter, it tastes good! Eureka!

Porter Gnomeboy

An old fav, practically a classic?

Beer Geek Breakfast Gnomeboy

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2020) Gnomeboy

Rainy days are back again. Having dessert before dinner. And then there was only one left.

Mas Agave (2020) Gnomeboy

When you have Cinco de Mayo weather in February, you end your day like this.

KBS Espresso (2020) Gnomeboy

And then there were only four, on an unusually warm and sunny day. Which one shall I drink tomorrow?

KBS Gnomeboy

An early Founders Day Parade making my weekdays great again. Five to go.
