    Milk stout and lactose intolerance

    :off: Perhaps all humans should be lactose intolerant, but we aren't. Hell, almost all Dutch and Swedish people are lactose tolerant and the further you move away from the Scandinavian countries, the higher prevalence of lactose intolerance. There are also SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphism...

    What's the most expensive beer you've seen or drank?

    The most expensive bottle of beer I've had from a bar: Scaldis Prestige de Nuits. I believe the pricetag was $68. I believe the liquor store price for the beer is around $45-$50. Worth it? Nope. However, I have been able to try a fantastic mead recently (for free): Apis Poltorak Jadwiga. This...

    I couldnt believe my ears!

    Brewing is what hubby and I do together every other Saturday. He likes to say that I'm the whole brains behind the operation. We'd been passing around the idea of homebrewing for a couple of months and then, after I finished How to Brew and The Joy of Homebrewing, I told him, "Let's do it."...

    Funny things you've overheard about beer

    Hah, that's from Blue Velvet by David Lynch. Pretty f'ed up movie. My husband, although he's a huge beer snob, says that all the time.

    Worst Commercial Beer You've Ever Had?

    Nope, not in bottle. It was on draft at a very reputable beer bar here in Orlando.

    Worst Commercial Beer You've Ever Had?

    Bell's Oarsmen has to be one of the worst. Its supposed to be a berliner weisse and about the only thing they got right was the color and abv. Smelled like wet moldy grain...which is fine since a lot of berliners have a weird smell. Then I took a swig and the first impression was this tastes...

    Might there be a beer I like?

    What about belgian ales? Including belgian blonde ale, dark ale, golden strong ale, dark strong ale, tripel, etc. One of my favorite breweries of all time is Ommegang and their Abbey Ale is one of my favorites. I checked seekabrew, so you should be able to get Ommegang beer in Denver.

    Am I the only one who dislikes IPAs?

    I used to HATE IPAs, couldn't get them down without a huge grimace. I loved big malty beers like shwartzbiers and doppelbocks and I definitely preferred the really sweet belgian beers. Then I found sours and that was all she wrote. I haven't found a sour I despise besides the Duchesse de...

    Beer Road Trip questions...

    Seconded! Asheville, NC is a wonderful city to stop through for beer, nevermind the absolutely beautiful scenery to get there.

    Now I know what its like homebrewing in the north

    Hah, I'm originally from CT but now that I have lived in FL for the past 4 years, my blood has thinned so much that anything below 65 F is freezing. :(

    The beer that got you into beer

    I had always been a big wheat beer drinker... as is typical of most women, with my mainstay being Blue Moon. But the beer that sent me in a glorious upward spiral was Karmeliet Tripel. Ever since then, I've been hooked on beer. Granted, looking back it's funny that I loved wheat beers. Now, I...

    What are you drinking now?

    I apologize for the poor phone camera quality. Cigar City's Imperial Sweet Stout - Cognac Barrel Aged. It's quite possibly heaven in my mouth.

    Brewing newbie...

    Welcome, I am also new! My husband and I brewed our first beer two weeks ago, an american amber and it was a partial mash. The beer is still chilling out in its primary, all the yeasties have seemed to have flocced to the bottom, and the gravity has been holding steady at 1.015 since Monday...

    Is this an exercise in futility?

    That is absolutley not an exercise in futility. Ive had many a soured stout and it is a beautiful loving marriage of two different styles. But, if you dont want it, I will be more than happy to take it off of your hands!
