Official tasting pictures thread

[kirbmeist]

The planets being out of order in this picture is bothering me way more than it probably should.

It bothered me as well when I saw this before but I was told that this is actually the order of the movements by Holst. Freaking musicians amirite?

Great tasting yesterday with brother_kenneth, bmh_the_1legend, and several others (some I think are on here but I don't know the user names):

Huge thanks to Brad for the Don Quijote and the Isabelle Proximus. Top beer for me was the Veritas 015.

It was a good time for sure. Glad you made the trip up!

Pretty awesome to see Vanilla BBH in there!

This just happened, with food pairings and musical accompaniment of course.
Mars is hella faded (but actually really pleasant right now) and apricot has completely overtaken Venus, but the others are drinking without too much variation at the moment.

Samesies!

Holst wrote the score in 1916. Give the guy a break.

I have to imagine there's a astrological/mythological explanation for the ordering, right?

Edit:

"One explanation for the suite's structure, presented by Holst scholar Raymond Head, is the ruling of astrological signs of the zodiac by the planets: if the signs are listed along with their ruling planets in the traditional order starting with Aries, ignoring duplication and the luminaries (the Sun and Moon), the order of the movements corresponds. Critic David Hurwitz offers an alternative explanation for the piece's structure: that "Jupiter" is the centrepoint of the suite and that the movements on either side are in mirror images. Thus "Mars" involves motion and "Neptune" is static; "Venus" is sublime while "Uranus" is vulgar, and "Mercury" is light and scherzando while "Saturn" is heavy and plodding. This hypothesis is lent credence by the fact that the two outer movements, "Mars" and "Neptune", are both written in rather unusual quintuple meter."

The original score actually doesn't use the planets, just the second names. (Bringer of war, the magician..etc)

I'll just take that as them not knowing the order of the planets at that time? Idk, never really looking into it.

It is really fun to play, though.

The order of planets is usually listed by average distance to the sun. This is because the distance to earth varies greatly with the orbits of both the planet in question and the earth itself. If we look at an ephemeris from 1916, we will find that from:

March 9th, 1916
to
March 29th, 1916

the order of the planets, arranged by distance from earth, goes

Mars
Venus
Mercury
Jupiter
Saturn
Neptune
Uranus

Just as in the original picture and the musical score. Boosh.

They knew not only the order in 1916 (the order of these planets was known since the official discovery of Neptune in 1846, which required the basic orbital parameters), but also their eccentricities, semi-major axes, inclinations, etc. These parameters were known so precisely at that time, that tiny deviations in the orbit of Neptune from that predicted by Newtonian mechanics were used to predict the presence of another planet farther from the sun (later found and named Pluto), and similar variations in the orbit of Mercury were used to predict the presence of another planet closer to the sun, provisionally named Vulcan (seriously), an issue would would later be resolved by slight corrections to the predicted orbit of Mercury from general relativity rather than a new planet.

One of those is not like the others

Knowledge bro. Mind expanded.

A few beers this afternoon/tonight with DCLAguy11, Coolioman, Rado, drewone. Thanks drewone for hosting and everyone for opening some really nice stuff. A really high quality share all around.

 

[BravoDawg]

Lastnight's share with mateoloco MattyATC RayP . It was a bottle crushing blast. Thanks to all who sent bottles. niner99 The Perrin was the unanimous winner !!

 

[BDK82]

Pics w/o notes....worthless.

Forgot to get a photo of the bottle kill shot at Meadapalooza. So here's one of Gonzoillini and pasta instead:

And here's a bigger group shot:

Good times with mlefevre , Beerlistman, rfraga7, Sean9689, Lefty Hyzer

Highlights:
-MD amazing maple smell and mouth feel but Good Morning also very good
-Bourgogne is a great beer happy to have this again. Great vinous quality from the white wine barrel
-Cuvee Du 89 easy to drink but not overly complex
-I preferred port St. Lam out of the 03-06 vert but the unblended was fun to try
-Brandy Van DL is still a great marshmallow bomb. Love that beer
-Original Cognac Lambic was not as good as the last bottle I had. Preferred B1 50N. Had B2 50N but no pic. Great bottle of Crianza
-15 Blab was very good
-Not a Side Project fan boy but the two Derivations are very good
-Zenne was just okay

By the end of the night we were struggling

Cuvee Du 89 and Bougonne

Unblended and Port St. Lam

An OK friday night for three dudes. Consumed these while watching Apocalypse Now. Photo is cut off and the LPG is missing its 2009 sticker.

A little pre-bday share last night.

Token, Morning Wood, and DDG were the highlights.
The Night Fury's were alright but nothing cray

 

[RyanG1]

Quite a fun Wednesday night with friends. Thanks for hosting jedwards, and providing some of the older vintage for the evening. Aong with drgarage, jtmartino and some others.

Standouts for me were:

Starkeller Peach. Quite fruit forward, could drink this all day, sweet ass canned peaches

2004 Old Foghorn a minty toffee sweetness that lingers for a nice, long time.

1989 Bridgeport Old Knucklehead, was a great treat and agree with whoever described it as honey and ashtrays

Oude RRuin, hesitant with the dark sour but awesome cherry flavor

Brute, held up very well and tastes awesome.

Besides those everything else was a nice treat and greatly enjoyed

 

[rrrjjj]

Impromptu doming.

MvB B2, AR B4, and NC B2.

Of course all of them are tasty. MvB is by far my favorite. Still very cherry forward, nice tartness, and lingering sweetness. AR was jammy and delicious. NC was good but the blackberries have faded.

Tasting with a friend heading to Oregon soon.

All bottled in 3013

just your standard Tuesday bottle share

highlights were 20 pvw ellipse, cellerman, and others
