Ymm, Beer

[Tripping William]

Foothills is re-upping its Craft Happiness IPA series. Yay!

[Nrrrrvous]

I am please to announce that a host has stepped forward for this months virtual beer pub. I am indebted to OPK who will be hosting. Since he has, I believe, hosted before he is now back by popular demand.

Thank you, OPK, for agreeing to be the host.

So, OPK, what's it going to be? Single Malt or Blended?

[Tripping William]

Happy to say I’m Three Philosophers deep into the weekend already. Cheers, y’all!

NoDa Hop Cakes being released Monday. Look for it at a Stella near you!

[LegoBatman]

I'm going to need to find some more winter warmers. Looking like it is going to drop below freezing Sunday night and stay that way through sometime on Tuesday. Right now the weather app shows a high of 23 and a low of 9 on Monday. Not something we normally see down here in Houston and well below the recommended serving temps devildeac posted recently.

Tired of staying home? Wish you could take a tip?

WELL, NOW YOU CAN!!!!!!

(virtually)

This month’s Virtual Pub will be Saturday, February 27th with a Zoom pub time TBD.

Last time I hosted, I brought us all to Belgium. This time, it’s up to each of you where we go! The theme for February is — if you could go on a vacation anywhere right now, where would it be? Then bring and enjoy beers or beverages either from that place and/or types which remind you of that place. Pub-goers are encouraged, but by no means required, to share the stories behind their selections.

Whether overseas, in-country, or just down the road, let’s all escape for a day to that place we want to be. And raise a toast to the happy day soon when we can go do it!

Hope to see everyone at the pub!

Aww, man! This is about as tough as luburch’s “local 6-pack challenge.” Fantastic concept (but I expect NIL royalties for the title)!

But the only brewery on Ocracoke is CLOSED FOR THE SEASON!

But the only brewery on Ocracoke is CLOSED FOR THE SEASON!

Maybe you can find a trade, or a beer that reminds you of it?

[devildeac]

I'm saving the last one in the fridge for a special occasion. Maybe something like Friday the 12th? The Saturday before Valentines Day?

Lunch? Dinner?

[devildeac]

I am still working on the next pub host. I think I have someone for the last weekend of the month. Will keep everyone posted.

I've heard those same rumors and innuendoes.

[devildeac]

Great question! For Northwest Indiana:


Zombie Dust - 6.2% Pale Ale - 3F - We locals take it for granted, but a 6 pack is in my beer fridge at all times just in case someone stops by the house that has never had one.
King Reaper - 8.3% DDH DIPA - 18th Street Brewery - One of the best options from a brewery that has a whole line up of tasty IPAs.
The Dude White Russian Java Porter - 6.1% Porter - Crown Brewing Company - Really ties The Region beer scene together.
Bold Betty - 6.1% Stout - Oatmeal stout with espresso on nitro. The only cappuccino I drink.
Memes & Dreams - 7% Milkshake IPA - Windmill Brewing - IPA with mangoes, lactose, and vanilla beans. Probably not sessionable without a stomach ache, but a nice change of pace in the NWI 6pack.
Marty McRye - 8.9% DIPA - Four Fathers Brewing - Double IPA with grapefruit.

Welcome back!

Zombie Dust is the only one known to me but the other sound good, too.

Great news!!

Is/was Festival Express part of that series?

No. That’s a standard Foothills offering. And a good one.

So, OPK, what's it going to be? Single Malt or Blended?

I might only get through one or two of those (single servings, of course). Any more and I'd likely be posting nonsense.

Regular or one of the barrel-aged variants? Or some of both worlds?

[devildeac]

NoDa Hop Cakes being released Monday. Look for it at a Stella near you!

I'll bet Total William might carry that, too.

Ooops, is "bet" a naughty word here?

Ha! Someone actually read my suggested temps for serving various ales.

Fabulous idea! I have one tip for folks, Italy is a fabulous place to visit (and hopefully no one talks about different types of water closets they've visited) but not a good "beer destination."
