BEER THREAD!

[Freakzilla]

Better than Bud Ice.

But you've gotta love the label with the guy drinking the beer on it.

[E. LeGuille]

There's a man in a green suit drinking it, so you know it must be good.

I love his hat.

Been drinking my own beer the last 24 hours. Floated the first 5 gallon keg, 5 more gallons to go. It's
basically an American APA with a high hop profile, a session beer really. For a party we're going to tonight I'm
bringing a sixer of O'Dell's 5 Barrel and a sixer of 1554.

My first few meads were a pretty good success, I'm working on a pile of improved recipes right now. I currently have two batches of blueberry mead fermenting in the closet, each with different yeasts. Should be fun.

I'm pretty forgiving of personal attacks but your racist comments are pushing the limits of my patience.

Tonight is Tuesday, so it's Icehouse and Jim Beam boilermakers... I'd better stop posting soon...

[SandChigger]

Looking forward to your drunken return! (Yeah, you know you'll be back. )


(But Jim Beam? ... )

[Freakzilla]

I'm on a tight budget.

[SandChigger]

I saw. I'm really sorry.

I quite often complain that the beers round here aren't dark enough, but last night I was on the Hobgoblin (Wychwood), and a stout called Black Bess (York).

Both were wonderful (and dark)... but fuck me.. I've not felt this rough the day after for a while - and was only out for a couple of hours...

[SandChigger]

Ahp, the passing years their toll will take.


(Or was that the passing beers? )

I hear that the darker the liquor the worse the hangover, I suppose that applies to beer too.

Black Bess stout was.. well.. black.

I've been eyeballing that hobgoblin for years, you'd recommend it?

Check out the dark beers Chambly Noire and Trois Pistoles from Unibroue, you will seriously not be dissapointed (they're not your typical dark beers though).

I would recommend Hobgoblin - it's one of my favourites. And if you're into that sort of thing - Sneck Lifter (Jennings) is another excellent one to try.

Will keep an eye out for those two - can't say I've heard to them before

I don't know if they export them to your end of the atlantic, but they're made iin Quebec in the style of Belgian trappist beer. It's probably the best large scale produced beer in North America, but all their beers are bottled on fresh lees (yeast) and carbonated by refermentation in the bottle (not force carbonated), and as such have a very distinct fruity flavour and smell that people either love or hate.

Also - I'm taking suggestions for ingredients for test batches of my Chai Hulud Spice Mead/Spice Beer. All input more than welcome.

[SandChigger]

Anchovies?

(They's feesh, afta oll. )

[A Thing of Eternity]

Hey, enough with the feesh or I'll sick the Black Panthers on you!

[SandChigger]

(I loves cats. And they loves me. 'Coz ... yes, you know it's coming ... I feeds 'em feesh! )

[A Thing of Eternity]

Only feesh? No japanese salamanders?

[SandChigger]

Ooor, I'll have no truck with those sansho-wobblies!

I know a weird-beer shop. It's a bit of a trek, but I usually go there to load up with weird beers before I visit a beer-drinking mate down in London. I'm hoping to be off down again soon... and I'm gonna make a list
