What's your favorite Beer?

@Twistlock:

Nothing spectacular, but great to start off the weekend on a warm summer evening.

It's a classic though, and for a good reason.

Tonight’s fun:

Gorgeous old school DIPA from one of my low key favourite Norwegian breweries and a TIPA collab that was very tasty too…

@neph93 the color on that DIPA looks incredible, cheers

Cheers buddy.

Høgna make a lot of straight up beers but their twist tends to be sweetening the brew, literally. Their head brewer (a badass young woman), often adds sweet stuff to her brews. Honey for example and in this case a bit of muscovado sugar. Goes perfectly with the toffee and biscuit tones of an old school dipa, contrasts well with the bitterness and, I guess, created that lovely dark colour.

Couple of fresh local beers.

I'm gonna have to step my beer photo game up if I'm gonna continue in the beer thread .  Picked up some tropical IPAs today that are begging for the weekend.  Maryland's beer scene isn't incredible, but occasionally I get some standouts

As a presumably New Yorker, @Sage954 , do you like Equilibrium?

[Sage954]

@Joberwocky Im in Bethesda. Sapwood Cellars in Colombia is making some great beer. The Other Half location in DC has really improved recently. My local beer store gets a lot of Equilibrium. Their beers are excellent, but expensive.

@Sage954 My all time favorite place that I ever got to play music in was called The Psyche Delly in Bethesda MD.

[Sage954]

@Jett129 that place looks great. Had to google it. Sadly it shut down a few years before my time. There are a few good music spots close by now.

@Sage954 I haven't been to Sapwood Cellars yet but it's on my to do list this summer, I've been enjoying Adroit Theory beers when I can find them and have been really satisfied with Crooked Crabs' newer offerings

I’m at Tin Can Alley in ABQ.  It’s constructed of shipping containers.

Some barley wine from Santa Fe Brewing…

Great looking place @Matt

Cool spot.  Nice view of the Sandias…

Damn… my kind of falling over juice. I suppose the Star Wars references are lost on you?

BUT.  The alcohol is so well disguised, it is really the definition of falling-over-juice…..

Whereas the alcohol here is front and Center but beautifully balanced.

(Happy now @Aetas ?) [emoji1]

It's been my experience that a lot of the pastry/desert stouts hide the alcohol well,until you go to scratch your shoulder and it's the floor.
