The TMB Good Beer Thread

Damn good for 10 years old. #stoutszn

 

getting back into homebrewing after a 6 year hiatus. I made a Belgian Witbier with Sichuan Peppercorns on Father's Day and I'm making my first lager - a Munich Helles today. low-carbing for a couple weeks to drop some lbs, but once I'm done, I should have two (hopefully) tasty beers on tap on the kegerator.

 

Had to have one of these while watching the 100m

 

Damn

 

Is infinite ghost a new thing? Been out the game a while but had a couple cups at brewery yesterday and it’s fantastic. Like ghost in the machine just hotboxed the car with some absolute heat

 

Going to have the ol' kegerator going soon with all three taps filled.

Munich Helles

And to keep the pipeline going, I'm brewing an Oktoberfest using the leftover yeast cake from the Helles (WLP860 - the Augustiner strain).

 

A pepper beer?

 

yeah - witbier often has citrus notes, so I added some sichuan peppercorns (quite different from typical peppercorns). they have a floral, citrusy thing going - alongside their buzzing, tongue-numbing qualities. which I was also curious to see if that translated.

 

Trying a quad IPA for the first time. Kinda tastes like what i remember Green Flash’s Palate Wrecker tasting like back in the day.

 

It's been a bit since the last time I had an entire can of beer by myself but I had no problem doing so today..

 

My 1st time dranking this and it's tasty as fuck.

 

Looks good. Two Hearted is top tier

 

'tis (almost) the season - what's everyone's favorite Oktoberfest beers?

I've been trending toward the German Festbier style more than the Marzens over the last couple of years. I

 

I got a four pack of Paulaner Oktoberfest tallboys for $7.50 last week. Not sure I'd say it's a favorite but great value.

 

If you can ever find the liter cans of Paulaner Oktoberfest Weisn, buy all of them. That shit is special.

Local Kroger has had Paulaner Munchner Lager (Helles) 4 packs of tall boys for $8 over the past year. I've bought a few case's worth over that timeframe.

 

Speaking of Helles, I'd never given half a shit about it until I went to Munich, where I realized it's one of the world's perfect beers. Prior to that, I'd lumped it in with blonde ales that were for people that didn't really like beer.
