Which is when most people head to the pub after a hard days work. Just be home by six.

It dosen't specifically touch on that at all. just about the new "porter" being done & aged at the brewery & leaving there ready to go. Then about Burton pale ales & all. Guess some just won't admit that I wasn't mistaken or whatever...

You weren't, that doesn't mean it's true today though.

Ah,at last. No,you're right,I wasn't refering to today. Hell,even the German Beer purity law has been updated. but historically speaking,it was the law at the time. But tastes changed,as did drinking vessels & thus,malting & brewing methods. Now,I call it ale if it's brewed with an ale yeast,hops or whatever. But kolsh,even though it's an ale yeast,it isn't strickly so. It's more of a hybrid Between ale & lager in terms of flavor qualities. Brewing method aside.
And lagers,well...

Maybe they needed to have half dozen cold ones & listen to Tankard for a while?...

 

[Bookworm]

I do not much care what any of them are called. If I like them I drink them.

Here here. I'm in here to laugh, not learn beer history and customs. Then again I'm not contributing funny either...

I've read all 2800+ posts but don't recall if this one was brought up

several members of our brew club tasting any number of homebrews: "smells like cat piss... Simcoe"

doesn't smell like it to me, but it comes up every time someone uses Simcoe

Yeah its pretty common. I get that a lot from simcoe.

You mean like that Sumatran coffee where the beans are fed to cats,& they retreive it later to make coffee with?

Caught the tail end of some wanna be beer snob's conversation yesterday, " ... and they add more sugar during fermentation to lower the alcohol content."

DOOOOOHH!! :smack:

Well duh, you have to add more food for the yeast so they just get full and stop producing alcohol. Once they stop producing, well the alcohol that was already in there just slowly disappears. Haha did you tell them that they better brush up on some books before they brew next haha?

Chong: "it's mostly Maui Waui man, but it's got some Labrador in it. My dog ate my stash. I had it on the table and the little mofu ate it. Then I had to follow him around with a little baggie for three days, before I got it back. Really blew the dog's mind. I think it's even better than before"

 

[timdsmith72]

In a pub once, I had a waitress carefully explain to me that a hefeweizen had hints of banana because "they add banana juice to it during fermentation." {facePalm}

 

[unionrdr]

Gee,i hope yer not busy for a month?!! Still have that movie. And the Big Bamboo album with the rolling paper. Banana juice? Y'all,I really have to wonder where this special brand of stoopid comes from?... I mean there's stupid...then there's stoopid...

 

[JoeyChopps]

Speaking of banana juice I had a buddy that lived in Germany for a little while and he swore that he use to drink half banana juice and half franziskaner and swore that's how everyone drank it like that.

 

[unionrdr]

Idk man...that's a new one to me. I love Franziskaner. Midwest's PM Berlin Wheat kit turns out tasting like a cross between Franziskaner & Paulaner Hefe to my taste buds. Amazingly good wheat beer for the cheap price & simple ingredients. You oughta try it if you like either of the two wheats mentioned...

Yeah I've had franziskaner and paulaner and enjoy both of them. That's why I couldn't figure out why someone would cut it with banana juice.

I've had it that way in Italy and it is quite tasty. Really any good wheat beer and banana juice is great. 1/2 and 1/2 is a little much for my taste, but 1/4 to 3/4 is great.

I'm still stuck on the ... Head part of this thread, and the banana juice thing keeps putting me over the top.

 

[PerfectD3]

I lived in Germany for two years and the local beer house would do that at lunch. It was more 1/4 banana juice to 3/4 Paulener.

 

[unionrdr]

Idk...They're ok with banana esters,juice might be a bit much to me. The cleaner wheats are quite tasty to me.
