Always. Then shake the water out.

I'd get a growler of that in a North Carolina minute. Mrs. killerleft might even like that.

If she did, I might have picked up a crowler. Stouts are out!

Ha! I clicked over to ymm, beer right before I was about to do this.

I do it every time. I usually even rinse my clean glass before my first beer because of my OCD.

Tempting me to open my bomber of this. Must ... resist ... temptation...!

Give in...

Will have to see about this one if I hit-up WMB tomorrow.

Lemme help you a bit more here:

Thrilling Daydreams-WMB, no, wait, Wise Man Brewing

Local? We lived there 4 years so it's still local!

Credit-RJ199; thanks!!
Style-double NEIPA
Package-metal cylinder containing two cups of ale
Stemware-if it's from Winston-Salem, there's a really good chance it gets poured into a Stella snifter
Appearance-mildly cloudy orange amber with a moderate, foamy head
Nose-tangerine and cantaloupe
Mouthfeel-slightly thick
Tastes-there's that cantaloupe again with some more tangerine, orange and a splash of pineapple and grapefruit; some zest at the end
Hops-Citra, Mosaic and Sultana (last one is new to me); a wonderful mélange
IBU-91 (no. way.)
ABV-7.7%; about perfect
Overall impression-another outstanding creation from WMB
Ymm, Beer rating-low, maybe mid cat 3; this was such a pleasing ale to sip over 30-45 minutes with our Italian sub/hero/hoagie/grinder tonight; find one!

Jahvanilla may not survive the weekend.

But, but, but, you promised.

Question of the evening:

Clean/different glass for every beer. Rarely drink two of the same back-to-back (unless perhaps it was 1991-92 ). Almost always a different style for the second beer, too.

Handwash most of my glassware unless it's a standard pint glass which I'll always rinse before I pour a beer into it, just in case the rinse cycle of the automatic dishwasher didn't perform its job properly. Soap is "deadly" to beer.

[devildeac]

Always. Then shake the water out.

Here's my OCD showing: I'll also hand dry my glass, even after shaking it out or letting it sit upside down in the dish drying rack for an hour or more.

[devildeac]

If she did, I might have picked up a crowler. Stouts are out!

More for you then, amirite?

[devildeac]

Ha! Beat me to it. I need to spend more time reading Ymm, Beer.

Yea, that shocked me when I saw that on their website. My palate thought 50-60.

Haw River Torn Paper Leaves

Had my eye on this, and thanks to richardjackson199 and beergoddess, I get to try it!

Pours a brassy gold, minimal head.

The nose is spicy, woodsy, difficult to place.
I want to say cinnamon and that is completely, totally wrong.
Almost like a very mild, very pleasant cologne.

The description of Torn Paper Leaves Brazilian Oak is golden ale aged on amburana wood spirals.
No idea what amburana wood is 🤔

Wow. Wow. Wow.

Golden ale is an undersell- the long description on the can says Belgian style tripel. This is a beer that would have been right at home in the last virtual pub.

Honeyed sweetness flows into a spicy mid palate before finishing dry.

I wish I could pull out all the melange of flavour in this beer.
We may be making a pick up trip to Saxapahaw.

A brilliant beer- thank you, richardjackson199 and beergoddess!

Cheers all! 🍻

Torn Paper Leaves-Haw River Farmhouse Ales

Local indeed

Credit-RJ199 and, of course, his lovely chauffeur and accomplice, the magnificent beergoddess; many, many thanks!!

I'm stopping there. Read fuse's review that I've quoted. There's nothing I'm able to add/improve on what he posted except this is a solid cat 3 beer and I could buy a case of this.

[devildeac]

Shoot. In addition to today being National Doughnut Day, it is also National Gingerbread Day, so someone shoulda sipped a Hardywood Gingerbread Stout or one of the variants. My fault for not notifying Ymm, Beer this AM.

[devildeac]

Maybe a preview shopping run later today for killerleft's Milkshake IPA Virtual Pub in a couple weeks. Kinda like a recruiting trip.

Just make sure that you are in a legal contact window.

Cuz if you’re not, you’ll get defenestrated. By the Russians.
