beer Being Crafty

Got comp'd a bunch of tickets to this shindig at Waterloo Brewing.     A choice of 4 food options and 12 samples  ( 4 - 5 oz pours from the three breweries involved. )  considering my Wife doesn't drink beer and was the DD the three of us drinking  actually ended up with 16 samples apiece .

One of my favorite loval DIPAs of the Summer so far. Suuuper fruity from the yeast and hop combo.

Nice beers!

They were all really good. Tilted at a 1° angle though, so I could post them in portrait mode.

Yeah as long as you save the file it will save the orientation that is being viewed in the editor. You should not have to tilt your photos though. Save is not greyed in my program but if yours, maybe just select the crop tool but crop at 100% so it doesn't change anything, or make the pic smaller, or add a filter.

I'm about to bottle up the NEIPA I brewed last Sunday, wash the yeast, and brew another NEIPA with the same yeast. This one will be a session, with all mosaic. Only 8 lbs of base malts, with 1 lb. of flaked oats, and 1 lb. of flaked barley.

I'm in.

This beer is fantastic. It's a spin-off of one of the best ipas out there. Big time fresh tropical fruit and citrus flavors punch you right in the mouth. The malty backbone is toasty and sweet enough to balance the hops. Simcoe and citra play a huge roll but the experimental element comes from the hbc 438 hops.

Wow just checked the tap list at my spot and they have a Stone/Maine beer company collaboration. Think I'll make a trip today.

Bissell FTW! Great Summer brew, and a great brew to drink while brewing beer.

An imperial IPL too. Interesting style. I bet it's good.

I've definitely never heard of HBC 438 hops. I'll have to try them out sometime, if they ever hit the mainstream hop market.

My NEIPA is looking just right, it tastes great as well, with no carbonation. The aroma is very similar to many of the standard NEIPAs I've had from Bissell, Tree House, Aslin, etc. I think I nailed this one. I can't wait to start drinking it in a few weeks!

Lol, I think I will stick with home brewing. I made it my goal to be able to brew NEIPAs well, and I'm finally making some good progress. I need to come up with some punny name for this one. I do plan on brewing my juice skyhopper DIPA again sometime soon, with this yeast. First things first though is knocking out this session IPA I'm working on right now. I'm using a half pound of mosaic in a session beer, which might sound ridiculous, but I think it's going to come out well.
