Beer of the Day - BOTD - 2020

[FL shaver]

16.3 ABV! Holy smokes.... how'd that sit?

Don

Lol! You noticed that! I actually took the full pour photo, then split it with my son.

Category 5 is aged in Chardonnay barrels and hides that ABV much better than some bourbon barrel beers. Still could feel it! I think this is the highest ABV I have seen.

Wifey looked in the fridge and yells “Is this a real beer?!?”

First it was fruit. Now it’s glitter? Yikes. I’d still drink it though. I like sour beers.

It was actually good, not what I'd consider a true sour, much more drinkable. My wife even liked it and she can't stand tart/sour beers.

Bells Double Two Hearted tonight for me. Really good amped up (11% ABV) version of a great IPA

I'm not a pepper guy. Finally caved and tried this one from Oliphant. The pepper gave this one a pleasant bite. Loved the hamsters on the label, too.

First stop post surf: Point Ybel Brewing. This is a DIPA called Point of Return. 8%. Dry hopped. Reminds me of Six Point Resin.

What is A DIPA? I saw that for the first time today at the liquor store.

 

[FL shaver]

Just a double IPA. More flavor and higher ABV than an IPA is how I differentiate them. Someone else might know the finer points!

A basic, light and refreshing cream ale from Bent Paddle, Duluth, MN.

I got a few new ones to try this week. Mostly pumpkin beer since ’tis the season. Gotta be at least one I like!

Wow. A beer fridge that actually holds beer. Mine was annexed for other purposes; kind of like the Sudetenland......

It will always hold beer! At one point I was on this Natural Light kick.

Been a while since I've had a wee heavy. "Glasgow Kiss" is a soccer term meaning a head butt; I'm assuming directed at another player rather than the ball. This one's from Starry Eyed Brewing. A sipper at 9%, with a raisin/caramel sweetness. Reminded me of a port. Went down well, very happy I tried it!

Looks like coffee! Yum

What kind of kegerator you working with there? Co2 tank?

 

[jesseix]

Had a couple of these tonight. Not an overly NE-style, but fresh and a good “middle ground” betweeen a real east coast hazy and a west coast IPA. Much better than the last couple beers I’ve had from Fremont.
