What are you drinking right now?

[Megary]

Continuing my run of really nice beers from Troegs.

Double fermented with Lacto and then their house ale yeast. Sour, tart and blood-orange fruity...but not overwhelmingly so like many sour for sour's sake beers. Really enjoying this. At 4.5% it's quite drinkable, and one of those beers that simply sticking your nose in the glass is worth the price of admission.

Still in a craft beer desert but there are some decent wineries. Back in Austin tomorrow night, then home on Monday. Another night or two and JA's beers could be in serious jeopardy.

I'm sure JA should fill that craft beer longing Noseybear?

Called it a day after hanging half of the outside lights. Forgot that I'd tossed them last year and needed to get new ones. Off to the Walmart, which took almost 2 hours Luckily, picked up a bottle of Evan Williams and having shot(s) of that along with a pint or 2 of my Centennial Pale Ale.

Having one from my brew club bottle exchange holiday competition. This is the description, it is called 100 Cups.
Description
Swap your morning coffee with this beer. A session stout with a heavy handed amount of coffee.
Some responses reference it being a but thin in body, but it is 4.1%, a session coffee stout.
This is my response
Agree on the body, but I am really enjoying this fine beverage, getting a bit of chocolate flavor too. Very nice, well done sir!

Stouts and porters are my favorite styles. I personally prefer the coffee to play a supportive flavor rather than a leading role.

Nice futurama reference there. What happens if you drink 100 of them?

I haven't checked how close it is. I tried not to hit it too much there for awhile and I've been hitting a couple of the lighter ones I have on tap to get rid of them 1st.

Smart man! Makes sense to let the porter age.

 

[Nosybear]

Guest beer from a friend in Austin, a blend of Kolsch and pepper beer. Nice fruity esters from the Kolsch, subtle smokiness and pepper flavor from the pepper beer. I'll get to JA's cans tomorrow.

Wasn't aware of the reference, but makes me think of a drinking game we played in high school called century club. Everyone has plenty of beer and a shot glass you drink one ounce of beer every minute for 100 minutes. Sounds simple enough, but it amounts to better than eight 12oz beers in a little over an hour and a half. I tried once and failed...

One of the finest pepper beers I've ever had was a Jalapeño Kolsch at Ravenna Brewing in Seattle. A very nice Kolsch Ale with just enough Jalapeño to impart a nice flavor without any heat. Kolsch is probably one of the best canvases to express artful brewing on.

Ah yes. We had something similar, the power hour. 1 minute clips of songs let you know when to drink.
And yeah, it's way too much volume for me.
By the way, ever heard of Edward 40-hands?

Well, you get two 40s for each person and duct tape them to your hands. First to finish "wins" and gets to use the bathroom
You also need someone to tape and untape everyone's hands
