Actually, Sours and Bourbon barrel aged beers have been the “new thing” well for the past 3 years at least.

Wow no love for the Surly? Coffee Bender is one of my favorite beers and minimal on the hops.

Well any good micro brewery will have a plethora of styles of beer vs just IPA / APA.

Very interesting concept. Though it seems like imparting hop flavors or even aromas would be more difficult to finesse via yeast. Think about a Hefeweizen, the banana and clove signature of that beer is dependent on yeast, under / over pitching, temperature control are factoring elements to how much of those flavors…

I agree large wooden ships are not important.

I suspect that the misconceptions could be fueled by people having the export stout vs the pub draught. Well that and macro beer drinkers that actually think Bud is better than Miller or vice versa.

Fun fact Guiness Draught is almost a light beer in terms of calories.

The paper towel freezer technique works great, I do it with my beers all the time. Though Chicago Winters are also great for quick chilling.

The Duchesse is one of my favorites, I also like Monks Sour Flemish Ale. I’ve had some of the Destihl Wild Sours, they’re extremely sour, I still have some un-opened ones from 2 years ago really hard to drink. If I was going to turn someone on to sour beers I’d start with Petrus Sour mix pack, the nice thing about…

But can it play Toto?

Would love to see this pop up as a rental option, I’m sure this would be a glorious road trip car.

Another crime is we cant get a 3 door model of either that or the focus, but yeah we can get one with a trunk “ugh”.

I’m spoiled living in Chicago, we have a good 20 Ma Pa pie joints within a 5 mile radius which are all going to be way better than any chain za.

Just read the profile for this on Untappd, looks interesting I’ll have to keep an eye out for it.

The last time I went there I looked up new 2 toys on their website that showed available for in-store pickup, 20 minutes drive to the store and they tell me be both items are not in stock. I go back home check their site and they still showed in stock. Added items to cart and went through the check out process for…

Not necessarily, if your dry hopping you can get a bit of haze then if the beer is also bottle conditioned you’ll get more. I agree with the hop hate, I think its all the hipsters are now into sours so everything else sucks oh of course unless its some limited run of a bourbon stout that tastes like soy sauce.

If I was going to introduce someone to an IPA I would actually start with a different beer all-together like an APA. The lower ABV / sweetness means less late addition hops needed to balance the beer out thus dropping the IBUs. Then introduce the person to the difference between piney / tropical hops and then build…

So there isn’t anywhere in Mexico that you could rent a Cherry Picker?

Bela Lugosi would not approve of this.

Didn’t the LOTR movies have them?
