He is hardly "Old" school. But the man is a lager drinker. Not BMC, but Yuengling, Becks, Heineken, Pilsner Urquell, and Bohemian Pils junky. All decent to great pilsners, but his words need to be eaten a little bit. I am ready to blow him away with an amazing ALE. If I hear, "All them fruity beers these days. Look, its not beer, its a pussies way of drinking. I don't like your wheaty sweet banana bread beers. Listen, Jake, its not beer."
So catching **** like that I think I want to make him something that he forces him to eat his own words. The man, HATES, ales. Talks **** about them all the time, so I am up at a tough bar, and need to make something he likes. He hates French beers and weissbier. So a great hefeweizen has been bastardized every time I give him one. Says my tripel is fruity tasting, which he is the only one. And I tried the slipped brew, brought him an open "de-labeled" bottle of something I know he likes and he said he loved it, and was pretty sure I didn't make this. And then called out what he was drinking. So its not a label thing, its a palate thing which is going to be my challenge.
So styles I have considered. And ball park beers I would like to get near in the end results.
American Amber/Red Ale - Owyhee/Lucky13 Mondo
American Strong Ale - Arrogant Bastard
Scottish Ale - Carlyle Brewing Co.
Irish Ale - River City Irish Red
Kolsch - Geary's Summer Ale
Little help would be greatly appreciated. As I am a ester/phenol malt-monster I don't have the palate to hone in on what direction to go with a homebrew to blow his mind.
