BIL bought me a brew tour box through City Brew Tours.
Good experience, 8 beers and a virtual discussion with a cicerone & brewer every night. Each night wasn’t the best beer, but it was a different style every night.
now back to local beer!
some local beer -Artisanal Brew Works & Single cut.
The one beer was dry hopped with Swedish fish (all proceeds went to a good cause)
Not so local beer.
This is excellent . Candy sweetness, apple, cinnamon, caramel
Been a busy weekend.
PB stout from Artisanal is out of This world good!
double pillow from Common roots is epic.
the 2 beers from MA were a gift from neighbors sister.
Loopy Juice is very west coast ipa
Fluffinity tastes like orange/pineapple juice
Beer has been sitting on oak Chips for a week.
sampled.
very much molasses upfront and a little bourbon in the back.
I thought 2.5 oz of oak would be over powering, but sofar it is a molasses that is over powering .
I am going to give it another weekbefore I bottle.
I will also fight the...
I realized I have a bottle of Woodfords which was a gift from my staff. Went shopping and grabbed a bottle of makers and Wild Turkey 101 (my golf buddy always has this in the course).
Will taste test over the next few days.
A few buddies will come over and assist!
Three Floyds was excellent. Smooth, clean and just the right amount of bitterness.
Great beer
Lawson’s does not make bad beer. If they do, I haven’t had it!
This was bitter , little bit of citrus. Nice west coast like ale.
Just a great beer .
Yes,
I don’t mind cheap booze on occasion as it helps appreciate the good stuff.
I have a few friends who are snobs and won’t touch the bottom shelf.
having used bourbon soaked chips on a very limited basis (stout), I am wondering if using Makers Mark is noticeable and preferable to BV
I mis typed. Recipe called for 2.5 Oz of oak.
I don’t mind drinking the cheap stuff, was raised on BV and Flieschmans.
but this would give me an excuse to grab a bottle of Makers.
Haven’t had that in a while!
Have had Bulleit recently.
I will just tell SWMBO the $50 bottle of Makers is for...
Going to be soaking 5 Oz of oak chips in bourbon/whiskey.
Will be adding to an old ale.
I like good bourbon, but also don’t want to use my $50 bottle to put in beer.
does a good bottle make that much of a difference?
if not I was going to use something like black velvet or some simple whiskey...
