The Hopzeit is awesome guys. If you can find some I would recommend giving it a try. Great beer for the fall.

I did a bit of reading on Deschutes site about the Hopzeit and it sounds awesome! I really like the idea of a traditional German style beer using those ingredients then hopped up to the IPA level. They also included a BBQ pork tenderloin and hummus recipe using the Hopzeit as an ingredient. With this new knowledge I will definitely give the beer and recipes a shot. Thanks for the heads up :thumbup:

I'm enjoying a glass of Kombucha, made with the leftover canary melons from the CSA farm in a member of.

Love it! A fine traditional beverage. :) Very cool that your CSA produces it. Do they still use tea as the base, and then add melons as part of the sweetener?

I like that Washington Jack of yours, too. :thumbup:

It has been a really long time since I've had Campari and I will admit that I have never had a negroni. I did a bit of reading on the history and variations and it sounds like a very interesting drink. Do you make a classic version or one that favors the sweeter or more bitter side of the scale? Definitely something I'd be interested to try.

As for the home made whiskey sour here's some quick notes for future reference-
1oz lemon juice
1oz lime juice
1oz granulated sugar dissolved in 1oz water
1.5 oz whiskey of choice
Ice and a cherry

The Old Timer gets me every time, reminds me of my Grandad.

I make what I believe is the classic recipe: 1 oz each of gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth. I find it to be pleasantly bitter.

Thanks for the recipe for the homemade whiskey sour! You just saved me a bunch of trial and error. I hope to give it a try this weekend.

Cheers to your Grandad: a man with great taste in knives. :thumbup:

It's actually made by a local place, but they partnered with the CSA. I think the crop yielded more melons than they had anticipated, so they worked out a deal with the brewer. The recipe also has lemon balm grown at the farm. They call it Farmbucha. :rolleyes:

I believe tea is still the base.

Black and Tan? That was my first (legal) drink. Well done!

'Mixes' were very popular here in the 70's, when I was a young drinker - mainly because a lot of draught beer was pretty rotten though! :D :thumbup:

Thanks for the gracious sentiments expressed in your toast, Greg! :thumbup:
That Black and Tan looks very appealing, too. :cool:

I decided at lunchtime to try making one of my own with what I had on hand, so I went with a bottom layer of Founders All Day IPA and tried to top it off with a layer of Founders Dirty (illegitimate child), poured over an upside down spoon, of course. :rolleyes: I thought maybe the IPA, being light in color, would also have whatever other properties (especially relatively high density?) the Tan should have, while the Dirty Whatsit, being a dark red "Scotch-style ale" that has some stoutish characteristics IMO, might float on top. But the two libations mixed immediately. :( Tasted quite good, but the look was definitely disappointing.

Nice Greg! It has been a while but I used to really enjoy Black and Tans. Lot of fellas I know who enjoy both stout and cider also frequently make snake bites which is in the same family. I like the dye job on the edges of your Case. I've found a few recent releases where the white and color on the edges blend really visually appealing.







Drinking a home-brewed black IPA while knocking out a big pumpkin double brew day. Lot of work but also a really good time.
 
I decided my "tactical peanut" was a good match for this brew. This knife does kind of make me say that to myself. And I do like both of them.

Nice! So much good beer in Oregon but Hop Valley makes some of the best.
