BEER FRIDAY! Pee Yellow Pale

Justin — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 19:28:44 +0000

So beer friday is a bit different this week. While I’ve had a ton of great beers lately, especially last night at the holiday ale fest downtown, going to throw up a quick and easy recipe I brewed lately.

Up til recently I’d really only done partial mash brews, and usually just following

Sorry for the non-post yesterday, got caught neck deep in a Powerpoint and as this blog doesn’t make money and is but a labor of love it gets low priority over potential revenue generating opportunities (that being said if anybody wants to advertise here get at me!). I’ll continue highlighting 2011-2012 splitboards next week.

Beer Friday: Captured by Porches Invasive Species IPA

So it’s been awhile since I’ve paid homage to beer. Not for lack of drinking it as my growing gynecomastia (aka bitchtits) will attest to. Let’s turn these non-beer blogging Fridays around.

First up, the Invasive Species IPA from one of my new favorite breweries Captured by Porches out of St. Helens, OR (I

BEER FRIDAY (srsly this time): Chatoe Rogue Wet Hop Ale

Alrighty, it’s been a long time since I’ve written up an actual beer friday post – though as my burgeoning belt line and pepperoni moobs will attest to it’s not for a lack of drinking new beers. Figure I’ll start this out with a recent one that sticks out in my mind, though not

It’s baaaack….BEER FRIDAY!

Well, it’ll be back later today once I find a phillips screwdriver and go stretch the legs up at Meadows. I’ve done a ton of ‘research’ on local beers lately, and gotten back into brewing my own again, time to start dropping knowledge on what’s making my man boobs jiggle these days.

To be continued….

Beer > Water

This is something my friends and I have known FOREVER, and it’s obvious based on how we pack (how many people do you know bring a case of Coors Light 7 miles into the Tuolumne backcountry?), but beer helps you rehydrate quicker than water.

BEEEEEEEEEEEERRRR FRIDAY! This one is going to taste better than most as my day job has officially turned the corner from not even remotely interesting if you squint your eyes and turn your head to just plain ohmygodmakeitstop mundane. The days are a’draggin’, and combined with the fact that I probably won’t make it

This week has been a good beer week – Bear Republic double IPA, 2008 and 2009 Avery double IPAs among others – but after Monday’s TR this week’s winner was no secret. As much as I hate doing back-to-back Sierra brews there was no choice but to feature the Sierra Harvest Wet Hop Ale

Well as it’s gone from 80s to 50s in the course of three days here, bringing with it a bit of precip and thus pow in the mountains – probably some of the last of the season unless we get another Memorial Weekend pow dump like last year. As such, it’s time for a
