Beer lovers here's a thread for us.

I'll start. Ranger, a brew by New Belgium. Not too hoppy and goes down smooth. 6.5% alcohol level. It's a well balanced Simcoe, Cascade and Chinook hopped IPA. 70 IBUs.

Please no TROLLS or SPAMMERS. If you don't know what a hopinsta is please don't post here.

1. That is a great picture.
2. My favorite beer in the world = whichever one is in front of me at the time.

Good morning fellow hopinstas. Thanks for all the great beer input. LLC19, the Ranger there came in the New Belguim Folly pack. It's a 12 pack with 4 different brews.

Today's beer is the Somersault Ale by New Belgium. The color is blonde with a suggestion of amber. Somersault tumbles out with citrus aroma from Centennial hops, a tuck of soft apricot furitiness, completed by a smooth, upright finish with oats that were pitched in a long, slow mash. 5.2% Alcohol.

You got some lazy squirrels there Twins, my chipmunks have been up since about 6am. Maybe the woodpecker woke them up though.

Tomatoes and BEER!
What a fine beer it is and at $12 a six pack they need to be sipped not pounded.

I'll have to try that... I haven't been too impressed with the NB beers other than Fat Tire... although, it's all about personal taste, and I can be picky at times with tolerating and liking.
