Beer - what are you drinking / brewing thread

[Crawpapa]

Hi all,

Where are the beer nerds? What are you drinking?

If you provide your “Untappd” user name, I’ll try and add it below to grow our drinking companionship!

Last night I got a Kilkenny, which I love!

I don't use Untappd. However, the next brew on deck will be an oatmeal, cinnamon, raisin, and rum cookie stout.

Uggg, you’re killing me with this thread. I used to be very active in homebrewing. I just had to stop drinking last month. Not gonna lie, I miss a good belgian quad and triple ipa.
My untappd name is djevox, but I haven’t been on there in a few years.

That sounds awesome! I don’t brew anything myself, so I admire those who have the skill and patience to do it themselves.

Not a brewer, just consumer. Normally have Boulevard Wheat in the 1950 IH beer fridge. But currently have some Sam Adams Cold Snap in my bottle keeper next to me. Also enjoy Leinekugels Honey Weiss and Canoe Paddler. Mostly a wheat beer guy. Not a fan of a hoppy beers and can't stand IPAs or sours. And don't to **** in a can domestics.

One of my favorite breweries, but tough to find in RI.

I also brew, right now I'm making mead. Problem with it is that it ties up my carboy for about 6 months.

I make mead as well. 6 gallon bucket for the win. Stuff it in a closet and forget it for a few months until it starts to clear.

Not on Uptappd, but I do enjoy brewing. Currently nothing in-process, working on two minifridges full of my last 3 brews: A Christmas Ale that was a little spicier than I'd prefer (I made one about 5 years ago that was awesome, but didn't write down the recipe, and I've never been quite able to duplicate it since); A basic lager, which my sons enjoy when they come over; And my latest, an Oatmeal Stout - perfect combo for pulling out of Winter and into cold Ohio Spring

If I'm drinking store-bought, Kona Brewing is my go-to, especially one of the IPAs.

How’s getting married in the brewery work on the beer nerd scale?

Haven't brewed anything in a couple years, but what a fun hobby. I've got an old GE refrigerator from a coworker that a put I tap into and started using 5 gallon kegs (screw bottling ha). Fridge is still in the shed. Sometimes I think about moving it back to the garage and getting into it again. Just takes up a lot of space in my already small garage. And it's way too easy to come home from work and pull that tap handle more than I should

I gave up home brewing back in 2017. After the last of the kids left there wasn't anyone left to drink the brews except me and I never did drink that much, I just simply enjoyed the hobby and the different tastes. I don't recall ever brewing a bad beer, they were all very tasty and unique. I favored America Ales, IPAs, and holiday specials like Christmas ale, Pumpkin Spice, and summer wheats.

Has been a while.
Brewed and capped 55 gallons in three months, had to stop, got too addictive. Never-mind the weight gain.

Man you and I should hang out! Years ago I went to Kansas City for work and hung out with a buddy who introduced me to Boulevard, and we went to the brewery one day. We didn’t get a tour, just are and drank there. I got a flight and still remember the awesomeness of their Rye-on-Rye-on-Rye. I recently found out I can get Unfiltered Wheat from Total Wine here in Virginia, so now I have two cases chilling in my old college dorm fridge which has turned into my beer fridge.

And like you I can’t stand IPAs!

Some awesome photos! Congrats on the wedding (whenever it was)!

I travel a lot for work, and first had Kona Big Wave a few years back when I went to Hawaii. Pretty good beer.

Local grocery store has 20-packs for $20, or 12-packs for $15. No brainer to get the 20-packs. But I'm only a few hours from KC in Omaha, NE now. Most of the local sports bars have it on tap, and restaurants have it in bottles.

Funny! First time I had Kona was on Oahu, Fire Rock was the one

Of the Kona beers, I'm more of a Longboard guy. When I was in Navy, Pearl Harbor was a standard stop for us at beginning and end of each deployment.
