Well, it’s a Franconia Dunkel right now, next up is my Ranger Creek Small Batch #2 from 2012. I think it’s aged long enough, now. That yeast has to have completed its work and died. After that, it’s probably water. I moved furniture in 101 degree heat today. ---

Rodeo Clown Double IPA from Karbach Brewery in Houston. I love IPAs, but some are so dry and woody it’s like chewing on tree bark. Rodeo Clown has a nicely balanced taste, and enough kick that you’ll only want one or two. ---

Rodeo Clown has a nicely balanced taste, and enough kick that you’ll only want one or two. Forgot to add: my wife is having a Guinness, and the baby is drinking some sort of weird fatty, nutrient rich sweat. Sounds disgusting, but she loves the stuff. ---

And now I’ve moved on to a home made Dunkelweizen. After a year of sitting around, the yeast finally seems to have covered for all my stupid. Thanks, yeast. ---

It’s about 8pm Saturday night, August 31. And I am enjoying my traditional end-of-the-month Singha beer. I try to do it every month in celebration of making it through another month, all the while hoping I am not premature and don’t die before midnight. ---

Homebrew! An extract recipe with chinook and cascade hops. Mmmmmm. ---

Grimbergen Dubbel, a Belgian abbey beer, brewed according to a recipe from 1128, to include some irrelevant detail. Still, tastes pretty fresh. I somehow got myself addicted to Belgian beer on my holidays, it’s probably a cardinal sin for a German. I regret nothing. ---

Sunday morning now, and we have some coffee brewing. Starbucks espresso roast. ---

Europe has fought over Belgium several times. Admit it! You all just want their beer secrets! Tonight, I’m drinking up some Schmaltz (a David’s Slingshot, and a Genesis), a Rahr’s Ugly Pug, plus a Saint Arnold’s Icon Yellow, a Belgian style brewed in Texas. From the description, the Yellow is winter ale malts combined with saison yeast. It’s bright and sharp, but with a nice smooth malty finish, mmm. Earlier I had a Goose Island root beer for the first time; pretty good, but not the greatest. Also, I had Barton Springs’ Zilcher Park Cola for the first time today. It had enough vanilla and sugar to taste more like a cream soda than a cola. Not bad, but not what I expected. It’s August, so lots of iced tea and a Dr Pepper, as well. It’s been a good beverage weekend! ---

Bottled water. Specifically, Singha brand, maker of the beer of the same name. ---

> [@scabpicker](#): > > Europe has fought over Belgium several times. Admit it! You all just want their beer secrets! I’m not even sure I want to know what they put into their brew, having no Reinheitsgebot and all; I’m kinda drinking it under a ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’-policy. > [@](#): > > Tonight, I’m drinking up some Schmaltz (a David’s Slingshot, and a Genesis), a Rahr’s Ugly Pug, plus a Saint Arnold’s Icon Yellow, a Belgian style brewed in Texas.
