What are you drinking right now?

Followed that up with Spring Cleaner IPA. Yes, the Pic came too late.

View attachment 34629After a day spent fly fishing (without catching) on the McKenzie River, this local brew is a good drink.

It has been too long since I brewed any beer. There is still a bag of grains that I bought to brew last summer, but it never happened. At the end of September 2025, my wife and I both took a long hiatus from alcohol. At that point we were both drinking entirely too much. After a routine blood test, she was diagnosed with fatty liver disease, and was recommended to avoid alcohol. As an expression of support, I quit with her. My abstinence lasted 4 months, while she is dry since last October 1. Though I am drinking again, I try to limit myself to no more than 2 beers. Such is life at 60.

In any case, I look forward to sharing pictures of my own home brewed beer.
Fly fishing? I usually use a swatter for flies…
 
Citra Mosaic extract pale ale
With the lighter SRM and no crystal malt, I should've pulled back on the IBUs a bit.

Yeah I've been dialing back the IBUs on my beers I make
My taste is changing
I was out for lunch today and had a New England Brewery beer called Baby Fuzzy Ducks which I used to enjoy but found it a bit bitter

With the lighter SRM and no crystal malt, I should've pulled back on the IBUs a bit. It's also still young and still in the fermenting keg and with the dry hop tube. I'm sure it would mellow out if I transferred to a serving keg
