best beer ever...what's yours?
|
|
this is a general, and maybe stupid, question but id be very curious to hear your responses.... What is the best beer you've ever brewed? have you brewed it again and were you able to replicate it? (feel free to post recipes) maybe this is an impossible question because my favorite beer is always changing depending on my mood, the weather, season, occasion, etc... But im just curious if anyone out there has any standouts they are especially proud of?
I would have to say my best so far, and the most critically (relative!) acclaimed would be my outmeal stout i brewed about 3 months ago...still have about a case left and its only getting better with time!
anyway, humor me if you feel like it and share what you got!

So far I would have to say that it's a tie between the Pumpkin Ale and our Anniversary Stout. Both are very yummy and continue to age oh-so-well.

My latest beer is my favorite. The Kona Fire Pale Ale clone (see sig).
It gives me a chubby everytime I take the first sip of the evening.
...and for that reason, the SWMBO likes it too...  |

My best was an extract Okto clone that I made for the holidays this last year. It was so good I was tempted to not offer it to our guests at x-mass. It is on the list to make again, but I have a few new styles I want to try out first.

My best batch was the IPA I made last August. I haven't made it again yet, but it's pretty much guaranteed to be my standard IPA. My first five gallon batch was a pale ale that turned out pretty decent.

I made an extract barleywine a little over a year ago that was by far the best beer I've ever made. As soon as some more hop varieties become available I'm going to try and replicate an all-grain version to enter in some contests.

My first all-grain. Wait 'til I get my second one in kegs, though. And this next one I'm making promises to top them both. . .
And yes, of course it was EdWort's Haus.
