Now this one was fast and lazy I used some 4L dry extract and hallertau hops at 60 minutes. Was just going for East fast and easy drinking it worked in those regards.
My last Kveik blonde a few months ago was real tasty to me. I went 85% 2 row, 5% 60L and 10% wheat and cascade at 30 ibu which is probably too hoppy for style but I liked it

This is the source recipe: https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/788056/kveik-smash-. I'm listing this link because I want to give credit where credit is due. However, I made the following changes:
* Switched the Golden Promise to Maris Otter because that is what I had on hand.
* Reduced amount of grain by 1/3 because I didn't want a 9% beer for a summer thirst-quencher.
* Switched the yeast to WLP521 because LHBS was out of Omega OYL-091.

The El Dorado hops gave a wonderful tropical fruit/citrus aroma with a hint of pineapple. Even though it was a Double IPA the hop bitterness was perfect; not over the top at all. I definitely be making this one again, but will try it with the original recipe's grain and yeast.
 
This one is tasty: Centennial pale ale. Definitely maltier than anything else I've made. This batch was split in 2 and half of it dry hopped for 7 days (the 2nd photo). The dry hop bottle was a great tasting pale. The regular batch tasted more like an amber, but I'm digging both of them :)

Funny story about the Bengals-Steelers rivalry the game In which Carson Palmer caused me to drink twice as much which was rough the next day going in to teach. I’m pretty sure that was a day of book work ;)
 
Just tapped my Maerzen,,, it's been lagering since March. Normally I would serve it at our Oktoberfest party in the foothills but this year, no bueno. It'll be in my LHBS's Oktoberfest competition, going for five medals in a row this year and it's as good as it's ever been.
 
That’s a nice Stein! I’ve not tried the beer but plan too whenever I see it..

having another Sam 76.
 
More local stuff...Roy Pitz Smoked Lager benefit of PA's new liquor laws..I didn't have to drive to Chambersburg..picked this up at the Giant in Gettysburg.
These guys make a smoked stout that tastes as good as its name...Impetuous Irish Prig! Truly "Liquid Art"
