What a great post! I just came here to post that I had a Wiehenstephaner Hefe Wiesbier with some bone-in chicken wings for dinner. It was like drinking a glass of orange juice and it was FABULOUS. I love that some places have a single beer case where you can try different beers without committing to a six pack. That's how I tried this one. First Bavarian I've had! Loved it!
Get on some hefe's. Fantastic beers. I've never had a bad one. Easily drinkable year round especially during these hot months. They're my go to beers for the most part.

Same here. Wheats and Hefeweizen's are my favorite in the summer. My favorite for winter is the Belching Beaver Peanut Butter Milk Stout out of San Diego. Crazy good.

Founders KBS Hazelnut. Found this KBS variant and it's the only one I haven't had. GREAT stout here. 12%er and is an awesome cold weather sipper. Yeah, I know it's summer but I can't pass up a great beer.

I believe there is one in my beer fridge. You are tempting me.

Just had a Paulaner Hefe. Delecious! Very drinkable with dinner.

Looked just like and tasted similar to Wiehanstapher but had that good peppery taste. Loved it !

What kind of beer is Paulaner Hefeweizen?

wheat beer

It's the #1 wheat beer in Germany and one of the world's favorites. In fact, beer experts call it a masterpiece.

12%. Yikes. 5 is as high as I go. I never have more than 1 beer in any given day but love one with dinner.

A secretary once bought me an international beer box that had this beer in it. It has been in my beer fridge for over 5 years. Now, I do not mind drinking high gravity beers years after they were bottled, but … maybe I should toss it?

Currently in Haverhill, MA visiting an old Army buddy.

This stuff is amazing. Piney. Well blended. Kick-***. One can also purchase Samuel Adams brews I'd never noted down in TX.

Einstök Icelandic Arctic Pale Ale. Drank at Einstök Brewers Lounge located just down the street from our guest house. Piney. Mild hops. Brewery sits just 1.3 km from lounge.

Very good. Love that whale! A friend brought me back a few bottles a few years ago. Now, a pizza joint in Louisville often has it on tap. Better on tap!!

Another Icelandic beer: Snorri Nr 10. Heavy Belgian influence. Classified by some as "Iceland's national beer". Drank one last night at R5 Beer Lounge here in Akureyi. Fairly decent.

Sitting at Keflavik Airport now. Getting the bad-boy below back to Austin from Logan may turn into a checked baggage adventure. Stay tuned.

Just had another Paulaner Hefe with some homemade air-fryed tenders tossed in spicy BBQ sauce w/ Ken's Farmhouse Ranch. If it ain't' broke, don't fix it.

Those who have visited ATX know about Jester King. Strangely enough, I've sampled very few JK beers. Finally tried a second tonight. Excellent Pils.

Goose Island IPA. Modestly hoppy. Nice crisp beer. Great one to chug after mowing the grass this summer.
A lot of folks crap on Goose Island ever since they sold out to Inbev, but they make good beers. I've been getting Bourbon County Stouts in various years for $12 at my local store. They have 2018-2023 in the cooler so I've been grabbing the oldest ones. One of the best Stouts ever made. I don't think that store knows what they have. I'm not gonna tell them about it either.

How do you post a picture from your phone or is it too hard?
Good question. It's tough, but not impossible. Here's how I go about it:

1. Check beer into Untappd on my phone.

2. Capturing the image is key. Facebook images are what I call "non-persistent" in that FB servers only maintain them for about 3 days, whereas Untapped images stay up much longer because of image hosting on their servers.

3. Log in to your Rivals account. 99% of time, I use my laptop and Firefox. Edge or Chrome works too, just differently.

4. Right-click on the image, then left-click "Open image in new tab".

5. Separate window should appear. Copy link to image and post here.

I've only been able to complete above process once entirely from my phone. Usually my "fumble fingers" will not allow.

Good luck.

Thanks! That's where I'm stuck. I can't figure out how to get a web address for pictures on my iphone. It's just a picture. No address. I'll keep trying to figure it out.

Try this:

iPhone: touch and hold the image you want. Copy. Paste url into pictures link.

My work phone is also an iPhone. I'll check into it more today.

The only way I see that might work is to go to cloud storage and find the URL and mine is too full to save new pictures so oh well.

I'm not on there. I'll sort it out, I see lots of conversations I can read through to find the solution.
If you register for an Untappd account, then you can upload all the beer pictures you take. Additionally, you provide your opinion of the individual beer.

After uploading the photo, you comment and rate the specific beer. No cloud storage required. All these photos I post here are copied from actual beers I check in on Untappd. You can even refer to the pub or bar where you purchased beer or choose "Untappd at Home". Very easy. Apps for iPhone or Android. All free, by the way.

My handle on Untappd is beerhunter101. Thanks.

BrewDog Black Heart ranks among the best stouts I've yet drank thus far in my life. Super-smooth. Creamy. Nitro. Highly recommended. On draft and onboard MV Hjaltland (Northlink ferry).

Haul from Scotland.

Top two (steekit and UHA '24) are from Lerwick Brewery, northern-most brewery in Great Britain. Met Ryan, one of the brewmasters, who originally hails from San Diego, CA. He relocated over to Shetland three years ago. Great guy.
