time to play the "can you name this style by the pictures" game.

[drummerguy]

Is it a Belgian pale ale?

 

[JordanKnudson]

Is it a Belgian pale ale?

This is the base style, but there's plenty more to it than that. Keep going, guys, and remember that ultimately I'm looking for the specific beer.

 

[edroberts]

Ommegang Gnomegang

 

[JordanKnudson]

Nope to Gnomegang. Remember, I said it is a Belgian pale, but that there's more to it than that. (I'll also remind you that in a previous hint I said that while it's not a lager or hybrid, there's not just ale yeast in there).

 

[drummerguy]

Lost Abbey Saint's Devotion

 

[JordanKnudson]

Nope, but you're heading in the right direction. I'll give you an extra hint: the brewery is not American.

 

[drainbamage]

Petrus aged pale ale

 

[JordanKnudson]

Petrus aged pale ale

There it is! I figured once someone guessed it was a sour belgian pale ale, that would be the end of the round. I think if you google that exact phrase, petrus is the first result.

 

[drainbamage]

Cool, from the hints I was down to Petrus or Orval, but I remember Orval being slightly darker.

Next...specific brewery and beer please:

[edroberts]

Wow... is it really that red? I'm guessing this is some sort of sour as well?

 

[jjw5015]

New Glarus Raspberry Tart

 

[drainbamage]

Wow... is it really that red? I'm guessing this is some sort of sour as well?

Yeah, it's really that red. Not a sour though.

New Glarus Raspberry Tart

Nope.

 

[jjw5015]

Nugget nectar

 

[MrFeltimo]

looks alot like
Penpont Old Ale?

 

[drainbamage]

No and no.

 

[drummerguy]

Tröegs Hopback Amber Ale

 

[drainbamage]

Not Hopback Amber either.

Hint: Unlike most of this brewery's offerings, this beer does not have a 1-word name.

 

[jjw5015]

Russian river?

 

[drainbamage]

Nope.

 

[edroberts]

I'm lost on this one. I can only think of a couple of beers that I've seen with that kind of color... and they've been ruled out.

 

[drainbamage]

Ok, might be time for another hint:

 

[DarthCitra]

Riverbank red- ghost river brewing?

 

[drainbamage]

No, but you're very close on the brewery name.

 

[chocotaco]

Rheingeist Pure Fury

 

[drainbamage]

Rheingeist Pure Fury

That's it! Despite being classified as an APA, it's probably the least-pale pale ale I can remember having.

[chocotaco]

Was it good?

 

[edroberts]

Any idea what grain they are adding to produce that color?

 

[drainbamage]

Was it good?

They focus heavily on pale ales, with a lot of seasonals and one-offs. There are a couple that I like more than PF, but it's pretty good.

Any idea what grain they are adding to produce that color?

Their website says the grain bill is Pale Ale malt, Crystal 15, Crystal 45, Wheat and Vienna, so nothing off-the-wall. I couldn't tell you amounts.

 

[chocotaco]

Here's the next one, fellas.

I want to say that I really like how this thread has evolved into a simple guessing game into a sleuth magnet. Everyone participating here likes solving a challenging mystery. That's why it has moved from guessing the style, to guessing the style plus some adjuncts, and finally to guessing the specific beer.

Guess the brewery and beer.

Initial hint: This was this brewery's first beer. Nowadays they are mostly known for a certain type of beer, which this doesn't fall into per se.

 

[Brauer]

Coors Golden, the Banquet beer!

 

[chocotaco]

Coors Golden, the Banquet beer!

Bwahahaha.

I mean, every now and then I will drink a Coors Light, because it's like refreshing, slightly alcoholic water. And sometimes that's what the doctor ordered. But I would never post it to this prestigious thread

 

[Tryger73]

Brewery Vivant- Farm Hand

 

[Brauer]

I was hopeing it would give someone a laugh. Mission Accomplished!

 

[MrFeltimo]

the bruery
JARDINIER?

 

[drainbamage]

Snpa?

 

[chocotaco]

No to all

 

[DarthCitra]

No.
