Aw c'mon, man! You live where the green peppers are good! You should try the dreck that they try to pass off as green peppers out here. Then you'd have cause to hate 'em.
Must be something in the soil out there, good green peppers is one of the top five things I miss most about back East.

I get green peppers from coffee beers when they use beans.
nasty.
blame Navy chow. EVERYTHING came with green peppers in it. Chief must've got a deal on them or somesh*t. once got a bowl of New England clam chowder full of green ****ing peppers.
coffee beer needs cold-steeped coffee for me to like it

Stone Xocoveza: a hint of peppers, tons of chocolate and spices, zero heat -- good!
While we're on the subject of spicy chocolate, here's some links from an old member's Xocolatl ale...

I've been meaning to brew this one too. It uses cocoa, hatch chilies, herbs & spices, etc. Spiced chocolate you can get buzzed on! The drink of the gods!

I'm normally not a fan of chili beers (as much as I love spicy food), but Xocoveza and Locoveza are both great.

The best (well, my favorite) chili beer is called Safe Word from Free Will Brewing in Philadelphia. It's a mango habanero IIPA. I've had lots of others like it, but this is what they should all aspire to be. Perfect balance of citrus, heat, fruit, and malt sweetness. Delicious!
I've got a Pineapple Habanero IPA on tap right now that I brewed a few weeks back. Got to say, it's my favorite beer I've done to date. Nice pineapple aroma up front and finishes with a little kick. Ended with 9.71 ABV
Now for something mildly funny...
Not willing to be out done by the Danes, the Flemish also make beer from piss.

Who will join me in a pint.
I now need a To Øl Goliat or a Rodenbach Grand Cru to clear my pallet after posting this.

Well I was ahead of the curve. I pissed on my hops plants whenever I was working in the shop last year as they are planted just around the corner. Guess I should have named my "Get a little Chinookie" IPA "Just Piss on It" instead. Name just don't quite have the ring though.
In the "And now for something completely different" mode, I say "skål" and "santé!"
On a serious note: It is proven that beer tastes better with music.
The funny part is that the article actually describes the beer somewhat accurately, and it is not BMC.
"For the beer, brewers produced a porter-style ale that had notes of Earl Grey, citrus, chocolate and malt, inspired by the band's latest album, "In Dreams.""
http://www.seeker.com/beer-tastes-better-with-music-1954584647.html
I would have chosen another band and I'm not sure what a citrus porter is; but to each is own.

Hmmm... Maybe they could make beer out of Budweiser???
^Lol. Might be a little strong, since bud is made from Clydesdale wiz...

Sweetwater Tavern is a small brewery/gastro-pub in our town. not affiliated with Sweetwater Brewing in Atlanta.
it's part of a chain called Great American Restaurants in our area
anyways, their website seems to be down, so they posted this message. and I had to ask the question EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU would ask

Ive been to a bunch of the Great American Restaurant locations and all this time I thought they were the same people that make 420. I could swear I've had 420 at the Sterling location. Maybe not, but I always thought that was their only beer I like, lol.

Sitting at a local micro. 2 young ladies were tasting the sour and the pony tail dude behind the bar, "we add sour hops to it to make it sour".

A friend of mine who is actually incredibly smart made the silly claim to me that non-alcoholic beer is made by stunting the yeast so it doesn't produce alcohol.
I told him "Actually they make beer like normal and then boil off most of the ethanol since it has a lower boiling point than water. Either that our they increase the pressure so the alcohol boils off at room temperature." He actually thanked me for setting him straight and said he wanted to learn more. Quite a rare response when someone makes a blatantly wrong statement about beer.
That would certainly make sour brewing 100000x easier if that were an actual possibility.
Acidified malt is a "thing" but you can hardly make a sour beer just by adding a ton of acidified malt to your grain bill. I guess you could TECHNICALLY make a sour beer by adding food-grade lactic acid to your finished beer before bottling, but it would have little to zero complexity. Plus, food-grade lactic acid tastes quite different from the lactic acid produced in sour beer fermentation...

the other various byproducts are what may have a different taste. Just like CO2 tastes the same no matter if it is from the yeast or from a tank, lactic acid is a simple molecule.

I'm not exactly sure of all the specific reasons for the difference in taste, but it has been widely noted that lactic acid produced by Lactobacillus tastes different from the lactic acid produced by Pediococcus (and they both taste different from food-grade lactic acid). It probably does have to do with certain byproducts that are made by the individual bacteria that influence how the lactic acid tastes.
For example, Lactobacillus produces softer and "rounder" tasting lactic acid, while Pediococcus produces sharper and more "aggressive" tasting lactic acid. I suppose I would describe food-grade lactic acid as "one-dimensional."

I understand what you mean, and that's why I culture wild lacto starters from 2row malt for my lacto beers. But saying that that lactic acid tastes different, is like saying that the ethanol produced by different yeast tastes different. The base chemical is always identical, it's the undefined byproducts that vary.
Has anyone seen these idiots try craft beer? The comments section is just as funny!

We had a little Labor day pool party and the home brew was a big hit. One ole gal said "this beer is giving me peanut butter legs"...I said what the heck is that? She said "easy to spread"....of course she caught me with a mouthful and I just spewed beer all over her!
They're Not Worthy...

That is just so damn funny....Never heard that one before.
1) You need to have another party.
2) You need to supply that beer.
3) You need to invite her again.
4) You need to invite ME.
(Wait... to be sure... was she at least a 7?)

One of the funniest things I've overheard about beer is when someone tries one of my homebrews (no matter if I think it is only 'so-so') and they are amazed at how good it is. Of course, the majority of my first-time HB consumers are normally BMC-ers. So, how could it not be good?!
