What are you drinking right now?

I used 2 whole oysters (shells, meat, and brine) for a 4 gallon batch. One of these days I need to brew this side by side without the oysters to find out if they actually do anything
We had a place in town that did a really good one until they jacked the alcohol through the roof on the following batches. My understanding is they just used the shells from a local oyster restaurant. I don't think they used the meat unless some of it remained on the shells.
I wonder if there is a good way to just filter a tiny bit of water from the Atlantic for the salinity?:)
Back in the day when we were really poor, Mom got my wife and I a suite at a really nice place on the Gulf in Naples. We brought tequila and some really shitty margarita mix. We didn't have salt so ran down to the Gulf and filled up a cup to wipe on the rim of the glass LOL. Sometimes young, broke, and stupid is fun.

Having a fermenter pour of my Irish Ale While sitting outside. Beautiful day here. 72F not a cloud in the sky. Listening to Flogging Molly and other Irish and Irish inspired bands.

Taste I’m happy with. Nice and malty. Touch of roasty toasty bite.

First pull of my oyster stout. Told you it'd be ready by the weekend :D
Took the day off to recover from a concert last night and I'm too lazy to transfer this to a serving keg, but wanted to try it out. I think it'll be perfect in 3 days (after I actually transfer the beer)

I'm drinking hunters dry (cider) while listening to my neighbours music :(
Cooking dinner at the mo and all I got on tap is soda water.
But tomorrow will be the day (once I decide on yeast)
 
What else today? Well, guess Guinness pictures wont load.
