I'm going to a beer tasting with friends tomorrow. Obviously I'll take along a nice commercial bottle or two and some homebrew. That said, I'm the only homebrewer in the crowd.
I thought it would be nice to also bring some hops throughout the spectrum (I think I have the hop part covered with what I have on hand...but i'm interested in hearing if you think some hop is so unique that it's a must-have) and some grain as well. I think it's really useful for the uninitiated to know what 2 row tastes like and how different that is from some Belgian Chocolate.
Long story short, if you were going for what I'm going for, what malted grain would you consider essential to a, uh?, tasting flight of malt.
- 2 row
- a couple crystals
- probably something dark like a chocolate
- probably wheat malt?
- Rye
Also I'm terribly sorry for whoever has to ring me up at the LHBS tomorrow.
