Some people are just more perceptive of ongoing developments than other I guess.

So, we know what some individuals ARE NOT drinking, and we know what some individuals MAY BE drinking, but what'RE you drinking RIGHT NOW?

Who's hating? It's what I'm drinking.

I'm at work and have to drive home afterwards (BOOOO!)

Beer will be later.

I'm thinking of going to see Andrew Jackson Jihad tonight at Lee's Palace plus maybe Hollerado afterwards if I'm not tired as I've seen them already. The beer at Lee's Palace blows so drinking at home it is!

Haterade is just an awesome word though, and we like dropping web memes don't we?

I'm drinking Tree Mellow Moon Pineapple Hefeweizen. I'm wondering if the Jolly Pumpkin I picked up will rock my taste buds, or what.

* PS * thanks everyone for ten years on Bar Towel. Nice knowing you folks and I appreciate what you all do.

Indie Ale House Instigator IPA, bottled version. I aged this about 6 months at cool room temperature. Over this period, it developed a subtle but unmistakeable fruity brett taste which marries well with the West Coast hopping. Tasted blind it could be mistaken for Orval. A good example of the character the old English IPAs acquired during long storage and shipping.

Wellington Shangri-la IPA. Canned version, from the brewery. Full, clean flavours, everything in the right place, quite like Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, IMO.

The Jolly Pumpkin Calabaza Blanca - GUSHER, but tasty. Need a Duvel Tulip glass to catch the foam-up so you don't lose one-third of the bottle on your countertop.

Ayinger Brau Weisse, a good Hefe. Leans to pale sweet fruit, banana and creamy vanilla.

just had a Jever pilsner - crisp and refreshing. Now I'm onto the Omnipollo DIPA, really hoppy and lots of west coast IPA flavours

Prairie Ale. First time having this one for me. Not bad, but it kind of tastes a little like dirt. Onto my Hibiscus-Yuzu Saison next.

Side Launch Weissbier faithfully carries on the Denison's tribute to Bavarian Classic. Less citric bite this time around, smooth.

Omnipollo DIPA is so good it's stupid, really. Enjoyed with Select Fine Foods grilled Nuerenburger brats made with Berkshire pork. NICE.
