What are you drinking now?

[WesleyS]

Drinking this.

My Robust Porter took a gold medal today. I don't have a scoresheet, but not only did my 60/- not place, score in the system is a f***ing 19. I want to see the sheets, so I know just how the f*** those f***ing judges thought that was acceptable. Not medaling, fine. Scoring a bit less than I personally think it deserves, fine. But 19 is a f***ing insult. Given the lack of organization at that comp, I'm guessing they either screwed up the entries or mishandled my beer, because there's absolutely no way in hell it was that f***ing bad. Not entering that competition again, that's for sure. Hopefully NHC does it better and gives it scores it's gotten elsewhere (ie 37-40).

They automatically knock points off for entering in such a lame style....

Sea Hag - Remmy's posted enough pictures so we know what it looks like.

Hey @nukebrewer - I found 2015 Bigfoot at Dick's World of Wines in Westerly. They had about 2 and a half cases left (I only bought a four pack.)

Thanks for the heads up. I'm really curious why I haven't seen it in the CT stores yet.

How is it?

That's only 7-ish barrels, they must have hoarded a bunch for themselves.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Dude, you got a gold medal. Congrats!

Well, at least my 50%+ medal to entry ratio is upheld. But that low one tanks my average score

another reason I don't like comps.

I don't enter for feedback any more. I enter to win. Of course, the odds of bad scores and bad feedback are both way too high. So maybe I oughta stop too. The best one I judged today I gave the highest score I've ever awarded. Turns out my buddy brewed it. And where we gave it 46 (me) and 47 (the other judge) and it VERY easily won mini-BOS, another comp he entered it in gave it a 29. So it is what it is.

That's why I started judging. Because I wasn't happy with the judging and had to put up or shut up.

Second pour of the 1809.

I was going to drink this but it was one of the ones I left out of the fridge so I'm having your farmhouse rye, tasty! Well done, it also gushed a bit. View attachment 265526

The joys of bottling with Brett. Both beers had stable gravities of 1.002 for a few weeks before being bottled.

 

[Helly]

Tonight I'm drinking some Founder's "Dirty Bastard", and I have one Founder's "KBS".:cross:

Nice. We stumbled upon a bar this afternoon with KBS on tap so I was lucky enough to have one 2 days in a row.

 

[BGBC]

Way too sweet, but it's been taking up space in the fridge for too long

A little overspiced for my taste, but this isn't half bad.

That's called Chicago-style pie. Not pizza.

 

[DisturbdChemist]

How is it?

That's only 7-ish barrels, they must have hoarded a bunch for themselves.

Says 123 cases produced only 100 released. Its tastey as always. Not as sour as some of their sours but very wine like. It was brewed with cab grapes and aged in cab barrels

So are you against tomatoes or just orange hot house tomatoes? Can't stand them out of season, basically if I'm not pulling them from the garden

What is your major malfunction?!

Fail. That looks nothing like deep dish.

To be fair, it does taste like the original and its only a couple drops of color. SWMBO has green wine. It ain't all bad.

This doesn't need a splash, but it's gonna get one.

While I was at the bar on St. Patty's Day, my friend's wife and her friend were drinking white wine with a splash of Midori. Blech!

I have had enough of you and your lies.

There's a place in town (I think they have a few locations) that does St Louis style pizza. It's ok I guess, but it's not my thing. Very sweet sauce and weird crust.

Give me New York style pizza any day of the week.

2nd pour of this du Bocq Saison 1858. It's growing on me.

That sounds aweful. Maybe they started a while before that and then couldn't taste it anyway.

Are you still here?

Imo's is St. Louis-style pizza. Cracker crust and Provel cheese (hard to come by outside of St. Louis because some old bat here has a patent on the process).

IMO Chicago-style>St. Louis-style.

Drinking apple juice.

 

[Hello]

This. It's a bit sweet but very good. Proper glassware too.

Slight improvement. At least it compliments the hockey game!

Unfortunately, no. I got to the bar before they did so they were stone cold sober when they started.

Think you missed the sarcasm bus.

With that said, Chicago pies don't deserved to be called pizza. It's an entirely different thing as compared to a real pizza: New York pizza.

N.C.State Wolfpack beats #1 seed Villanova. Flocc yeah!!! Headed to the beer fridge for a celebratory Nugget Nectar! (Recycled pic...no time for new one).

We'll have to agree to disagree. In ending, here's a picture of Mark Malnati (of Lou Malnati's) looking confused at the sight of a sheet of paper.

Still on the AJ. Which I had the foresight to put yeast into this a few weeks ago.
