I'm into fitness. Fitness whole pizza in my mouth. 
On the road out east. We drove from Mpls to Cleveland today. Long day and we're both hungry. Having pizza and a Great Lakes Dortmunder at a place near our hotel. On to the Finger Lakes region of NY tomorrow. Staying at an AirBnB there for 5 nights. Hope to meet up with @pshankstar for a brew!

HM brown sugar cider
It's been a while since I use to regularly work travel to Cleveland but a great place for German bars. Most are in the southwest area. I think it was Sachsenheim Hall that I really liked. Lots of fresh German lagers on draftI'm into fitness. Fitness whole pizza in my mouth.

And Mitchell's Ice Cream is a must hit if you're not in a pizza coma by now
HB Pilsner

Found a bottle of HB Helles in the back of the fridge. Last one. Bottled around thanksgiving time last year. Still good.
HB Hazy, it has morphed into something pretty nice. I would equate it to an average fruity flavored retail hazy IPA. My previous oxidation concerns have been retracted.
Onto the West Coast IPA debacle. Pint out of the fermenter. So pitching S-05 definitely helped with the too sweet issue. Dropped it from 1.030 to 1.018. ABV©7.8%ish. I had added the hop oil "3Cs" prior to this though. I've had a ton of old school WCIPAs and this hop profile fits it. I'm getting an almost smoky off flavor but I know it's not chlorine components.
I have no interest in keeping it on tap so one and done but happy for the progress made from the attempted "fix".

Out for some Polish.
Golden Monkey tripel from Victory brewing. I've never tried it before, and after this 6-pack I doubt I will buy it again; it's too sweet. It also has too much banana and what I think is coriander but I'm not sure, but the sweetness is the real turnoff. The clove is nice. For the same price I can get a 4-pack of LaChouffe. I might try mixing the next bottle with a can of Hamm's to tone it down a little.
HB imperial stout
Retail and HB Quad nightcap. Fracking work tomorrow. That's Battlestar Galactica talking.. that word doesn't have the same same feel though.

I see no beer in that diagram. It needs work
At Star Cider in Canandaigua, NY. Finished sampling all 8. Sorry, didn't think of a pic when they were full. Anyway, nice selection. Their bourbon barrel aged cider is especially nice.
I sincerely have no idea what the "wow" responses mean.
I'm having another Golden Monkey now diluted with a can of Hamm's and it's much more enjoyable. I still don't think I'll buy it again but at least I can finish the 6-pack this way. 
Hb Czech premium lager.
I cut the grass today, so I'm finishing off one of my Summer 24's that I enjoyed with my pork schnitzel dinner!
Is that early for this year or late from last?
Late from last! I got a couple of purchases mixed up so the BBD for this one is Jan 2024, the other is April. Still pretty tasty, though.
After spending the afternoon at the track getting ready for MotoAmerica this weekend, a very cold, refreshing, tasty Weihanstephaner Helles. Pretty warm out there today and I can't handle it as well as I once could!

Liked for the racks....then I saw the beer! Priorities right?

HB brown
The one on the left is my wife's 8 point from small gamelands 30 minutes from our house the one on the right is my 11 point from our backyard woods, PA whitetail.... hunting story time, she shot hers with a broken wrist so I got the luxury of dragging it uphill before getting it to path, of course I gave her hell for that. Took me about 2 hours to get it out of the woods. Her first deer btw... there's a lot more to the story naturally but that's for another time. I was proud of her and happy to do the grunt work.
OT Czech premium lager. Time for a refill
Making it a 3 day weekend. Had to start it off right.
HB NEIPA
Who says these need to be drank young? I found this bottle in the back of my fridge. This NEIPA was originally brewed in mid August '23. Probably kegged about the first or second week of September. I bottled a few bottles to trade in early November, but my schedule never worked to make the exchange with the brewer at a local brewery. Flavor is slightly dulled but still very good. I think it's still better than a few commercial beers I've had.

Heading home. Epigram Mexican stout cocoa diablo
Kettlehouse Mosaic IPA. Mosaic is one of my favorite hops. Part of a four beer variety pack; they were cheaper if you bought two. I bought two.

Apple juice...with S05 added for 2 weeks
I bought some French beers I like but a friend dropped by with a couple of bottles of 2015 locsl red wine, so the beer remains untouched. Then my wife cooked a chicken dish that requires half a cup of white wine so I opened this and we finished it on the porch after dinner.
HB WTF Hazy IPA. Dry hopped with 8oz Nectaron & 4oz McKenzie hops. Omega Helio Gazer thiolized yeast. Salud!
Czech pale for lunch.
A pint of Hopback Summer Lightning clone from Graham Wheeler’s recipe. It’s a simple British Golden Bitter 5%. Maris Otter, Challenger & EKG with a Nottingham yeast.
Czech dark lager. Love this style.
