FIB War Room

[SAISON FUCK]

Moop people***

Is that the name of members of the MORE Brewing Society?

 

[Scalzo]

I was kinda iffy on X1 or whatever it was called, but i'm curious to try this for sure.

I love everything Dovetail makes, except X01 and X02.... so I am not hopeful for X03

X01 = Flanders Rauch
X02 = Sour Lager
X03 = Kriek

While I agree I was not a fan of X01 (at all), and I was lukewarm at best on X02, I'm intrigued / cautiously optimistic about X03.

I'm also an unabashed Dovetail homer so might be viewing their barrel aging project through rose colored glasses...

I feel the same way, I really like what they are able to do, and want to think X03 will be different. but after trying x01 and x02 I have become doubtful about their ability to make a proper and delicious kriek. I would obviously like to try it, and would have an open mind about it.

The Kriek is not part of the X0 series. The X0 beers are brewhouse experiments -- untraditional approaches to beer -- which certainly leads to love it or hate it tasting experiences. The Kriek was made traditionally in the lambic style (60% pilsner malt; 40% unmalted wheat; turbid mash; aged hops; and cooled overnight in the coolship) -- so hopefully, the "proper" part is right.

X03 is a weizenbock ...

I tried Kriek last night. It’s nice, very cherry pie forward on the nose, you can tell they used real fruit and took their time. Downsides are a touch of acetone on the nose and smidge hot on the finish, but a solid first go at a Kriek.

Is it true that the acetone never fades and may only get worse?

Got a bottle of lambeek wants dragonfruit, wanna test the theory?

I don't know that answer.

Following for definitive response.

I drank one of those last month. It honestly just tastes like a light fruited berliner. Not really acidic. Kind of boring if anything.

I'd kind of like to get my hands on Whiskey Richard Lambeak, as it probably has one of the worst beer labels of all time

 

[ChaQuiseman]

Acetone/nail polish in wild beer is typically Ethyl Acetate, often caused by brettanomyces exposure to oxygen. The common advice if you produce a beer with unpleasant levels of ethyl acetate is to dump it, as there is very little known about how to clean up a beer with this off-flavor. In other words, I wouldn't expect acetone in this kriek to become less noticeable with time.

That said, ethyl acetate can be pleasing in small quantities (some say it's similar to pineapple), so it's possible to blend a beer with too much ethyl acetate into other beers until the ethyl acetate becomes either undetectable or tolerable.

Similar to how Facebook and iMessage now tell you when somebody is typing, it would be cool if you could have entrance music in the FIB War Room. I wouldn't be upset to hear the Undertaker's gong and theme music come through my web browser when Lansman is crafting a smackdown for our enjoyment, so I know to not go anywhere.

I like to think of him with a McMahon strut over the keyboard ....no chance cuz that’s what ya got, no chance in hell....

I thought Blood Orange was the one that tasted like poison?

 

[zieglemt]

Whats weird is that space looks like its 80% built out both inside and outside. Inside there was a short deli meat/cheese looking counter. I was curious if it might be a take on the Warpigs Deli popup they did in CPH last year.

Yeah, but it's also been that way for at least 2 years now...

You probably missed your shot. He sent me a private message yesterday on Facebook explaining that he wasn't going to "fawn over (me) like everyone else in (this) thread" and that my intent was bad (it wasn't) my opinion isn't the be all end all (i've never claimed it to be) and that i should learn to respect his opinion, and others. And then something about how he's "defended" me from "countless" individuals because of my "cult-like following."

He then blocked me from responding here and there, so far as i can tell, so maybe he's done trolling me here.

But either way, thank you everyone for "likes" and the couple messages i got sent, it's appreciated, and i'll make sure your Cultcards get an extra punch this upcoming Vavmas season.

You should totally host a week of special tappings at Publican this month. Call it Vavmas in July

I quit watching wrestling when Hurricane or whomever "killed" Jake the Snake's snake. That traumatized me.

It wouldn’t be the FIB War Room if we didn’t simultaneously have a turf war with Michigan, Wisconsin and Missouri.

You mean Chicago summer homes, Wrigley North, and our non-BCS trade bait supply, right?

I thought we all stopped caring 2 - 3 years ago and just let the angry pastryworld pass us by while we post gifs and youtube vids here and wax poetic about session pales and table beer instead..

Edit: Or in many of your guys situation, mead.. far too much mead.

 

[thewimperoo]

Pretty excited for these. Market Rate is probably my favorite beer they've done so far.

Wildings: Native yeasts harvested from blueberry skins yield an aromatic cloudburst of summer blueberries, concord grapes and strawberry blossoms interlaced with supple oak and a delicate note of violets from the long rest in handmade foedres we pulled out of a winery in the northern Italy region of Piedmont where they held Barolo for 15 years.

Market Rate: Brewed annually for Green City Market with both unripened green and ripened Mara de Bois strawberries from Seedling Farms that are let to sleep for a year in wine barrels. Green strawberries lend a unique acidity while the diminutively sized Mara des Bois have a potent pop reminiscent of slicing into fresh berries. Bright chords of honey and meadow flowers overlay light, toasted malts that play base for the vibrant fruit- and fermentation-based acidity. The finish is dry with a dose of American oak for structure leaving one reminded of vanilla, cracked black pepper, strawberry seeds, and late spring naps.

I always view Michigan and Minnestota as allies against our common enemy, Wisconsin.

Missouri, I understand, is also a place.
