Me and SWMBO. I was at American Brewmaster when the tickets came in & swiped the first pair. We waited too long to get tix last time and ended up missing out.

Paulaner Oktoberfest

I've made that mistake. Once. Ever try the Rogue Chipotle Ale? Great stuff.

OK, so this thread motivated me to slip another 90 minute into my mix today. I just opened it, and it's my first brew of the day. I think what I perceived as a raisin flavor is a combination of the cloying barley wine sweetness of the malt and the hop floral and citrus notes. They hit me at the...

Getting ready to start mashing a Belgain Wit on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. :mug:

I had the same experience with their wit. The Hennepin's might good though-had one last night.

Most Dogfish Head brews seem to have a strong raisin flavor to me. It's not a bad thing, but it's not a flavor I expect. A buddy and I got a mixed 6 of Dogfish to drink while brewing recently, and all of the first 5 had a similar raisin flavor. Then we got to #6 - Raison D'Etre, which is brewed...

Thanks guys! :mug: I amazed by how many homebrewers there are in the area. Every time I tell someone I've started brewing, they rattle off a list of other people in town they know who do.

I just toured the Highland brewery on Monday, and they had a homebrew setup right in their mashing room. The guy (Kevin) who showed us around said that they encourage all of their employees to brew a batch anytime they like, because it gives them a sense of how crucial it is to do every step of...
