Ymm, Beer

[fuse]

Had a Vicious Fishes Octopils pilsner last night.

Not a bad beer, not worth going out of your way for, either.

Easy sipper.

Lost Province Orange Sunshine NEIPA with Oranges

Smells a bit like Orange Clean.

Super orangey, and bitter (not unpleasantly so).

If you mixed an Orange Julius and a light beer, you might get something like Orange Sunshine.

Tasty, drinkable.

Cheers! 🍻

Orange Sunshine-Lost Province Brewing Company

It was local when purchased

Credit-fuse; thanks and more thanks!!
Style-fruited NEIPA; started with "Hipster Juice," previously reviewed
Temporary residence-pint can
Glassware-felt at home in a standard pint glass
Appearance-OJ light; moderate, frothy head
Nose-any 100% juice OJ
On the tongue-mildly juicy
Tastes-hey, fuse, did you really empty my can and refill it with an Orange Julius? There's some rind and pith, too.
Adjuncts-"...insane amount of whole fruit orange puree..."
Hops-Cascade, Centennial and Mosaic
Overall impression-really a fun and quite tasty beer on a warm, well, it was more like hot, spring evening
Ymm, Beer rating-so juicy and flavorful, I'll stamp a low cat 3 on this one; I'd have another of these, and probably a third one, too

This article made me super happy.
I won’t say anything further.

"Baskerville is planning a 10 percent ABV imperial stout made with dark chocolate."

May I have a 4 pack, please?

Garden Grove Brewing and Urban Winery. In Carytown in Richmond. Reviewed a couple of years ago, been aging this one. In light of recent events and a 3rd Covid case at work, I broke it open. Death. Yep, Death. A two time award winning Belgian style ale made with Va. grown petit verdot grapes. Aged 14 months in Napa valley carved & grooved American oak Cabernet Sauvignon barrels. 10% abv. 41 ibu’s.

This is an ale like no other. It’s an ale with a bit of malt, oak and raisin. Then you get some sweetness from the grapes and a finish that’s bold like a cab. They made 100 bottles only, 1 pint .9 oz., wish they made more. Had one too soon, saved this one a while. Easy cat 3, hope they’re surviving and want some more.

Hardywood is listed as one of the 200 breweries participating. I suspect that means accfanfrom1970 may see some via Family Tree.

Reads amazing.

If they produce a limited amount, that'd be a good bet. If they produce a large amount for more sales/profit/fund-raising, all of Richmond and contiguous zip codes may see that brew.

From last PM:

Two Weeks-Neuse River Brewing Company

Really local

Credit-fridge leftover from another location
Style-pale ale
Format-pint crowler ("please recycle")
Vessel-usual pint glass
Appearance-clear/clean amber; modest, off white head
Mouthfeel-faintly bitter
Tastes-some floral and some piney hops; light caramel
IBU-maybe 40
ABV-5.5%; still crushable
Overall impression-decent
Ymm, Beer rating-mid cat 2; would neither avoid nor seek out; Sierra Nevada Pale Ale sets the bar and this doesn't quite reach that level

Weekends were made for Michelob.

Michelob Dark, maybe.

Or that amazing Michelob bourbon barrel aged vanilla holiday ale they released a few years ago.

Wait, you had that? I thought you "missed" the several barrel-aged InBev brews that were released.

The year it came out, I tried it.
No idea if it was a one year thing, or has become an ongoing seasonal thing.

Gotcha. I may have been thinking about some other InBev BBA offerings like the Jim Beam (?) amber lager and/or another winter product.

Not looking like another trip to Bottle Rev today for a FrIPAday growler special. There's a good chance however that in-house inventory may be sufficient .

Sorry to hear. Looks like I may get to rendezvous with my gal Stella tomorrow, unless I decide to frequent WMB instead.

Will probably drink some Yuengling Golden Pilsner this weekend. I refuse putting this in ychh, beer. It is actually a pretty good pilsner for the price ($10 for a 12 pack).

If I have to play disc golf, I prefer beer being involved.

Instead? Google Maps claims they're only about 3.8 miles apart...
