A beer flight at Helga's Deli in Aurora CO. That's right, six 0.3 liter pours...View attachment 16475

I like those glasses, and the pretzel looks delicious.

Cool! Yesterday, I too participated in Independent Craft Beer Run Day, visiting Chapman Crafted in Old Towne Orange, CA, where I picked up a 4 pack of Bitterness Engaged IPA. They even knocked $2 off the price.View attachment 16484

Back home from sitting in the woods with beer! A nice hot shower and a homebrew, ahhhhhh, El Dorado IPA

One that I purchased yesterday. Getting ready to fire up the smoker to cook a rack of baby back ribs.

You've taken a liking to that one it seems herm.​

How does it compare to a Maris otter? I’m sure the typical master to master differences but within a brand

It is more subtle - I feel like Marris tends to dominate and Golden Promise is similar yet crisper and lighter (not as pronounced). Similar in a way to Vienna and Munich.

If my memory serves me correct I think one is harvested at a different time of year or something anyhow it's a lovely malt .

Zinfandel, grown in our backyard. Way better than the wine made from 2016 vintage, but nothing I would pay a hard earned dollar for. Encouragement to make wine from an expected harvest this summer. This is far better than the previous attempt, as I sip and smile.

I'm jealous Tim, it's damn hot here.

...or is that a reverse fire, that absorbs the heat and sends it up the chimney??

I love a picture that requires no comment or explanation! Can’t like that one enough.

Glad you asked, made me go get another!

Definite spruce aroma and a spruce/piney taste balanced with a nice, slight back sweetness. This is no novelty beer, it’s very drinkable. Every beer I have had from Yard’s has been good to very good. I’ve never been disappointed with anything from them.

Sounds a bit like a Beer equivalent of Retsina - the wine of greece.

I brewed with both MO and GP and agree with @Blackmuse's description. Personally I like MO more because of the slightly stronger biscuit flavor.
