Ok, I am going to say it. While Suraez Palatine Pils is fantastic, I think, for my taste, Live Oak is still my favorite. It is a little more full in the mouthfeel dept. and has more bite to it, which I really like. ******* it Texas, y you so far away.

After finishing a 4 pack of Palatine over the past couple of days while intermittently drinking LO Pilz, I would have to agree. I don't want to be a homer, but I just can't help it. I happily send out cases of Pilz for c&s when I can though, especially when it goes on sale for $7/6-pack.

Let me know next time you are doing a run!
 
Give me a couple of weeks and I should have some more free time to take care of you guys.

Need BadJustin and ExPimp to put together the battle of pils, Live Oak vs Suarez. I'm in ;-)
I could get the Russian River STS to throw into the mix.

Damn this just reminded me of when I found out about Live Oak, I traded some reddit head a bunch of Alvarado and Cellarmaker for some. They were asking "if I was sure", got like 4 six packs for 2 four packs and 1 bomber of wicked juicy. **** was awesome.

They weren't, most of the servers didn't even know what they were pouring.

I've seen this slow pour thing before. None of the guys at my brewing school in Germany liked it. According to one guy it's because in the past the beer was pushed with a lot more CO2 so it took 7-10 minutes to get the foam to die down and it became sort of a tradition. I've never seen it in person before though.

I did a side by side recently with Heater Allen Pils, one slow poured (~3 minutes) one poured and then consumed immediately. The slow pour definitely killed a little bit of the carbonation and made the hop bitterness slightly less pronounced (this particular batch seemed hoppier than I remembered). Also made for a more watery mouthfeel. I don’t see a need for the slow pour most of the time, but it was cool to taste the slight nuances. Also, I think slow pouring so that the head towers above the glass is pretty fun for some reason.
 
We had this conversation a few pages back, but the "slow pour" at Dovetail I find makes for a better beer due to the long lasting / amazing retention on the head of the beer.

However, it takes 45 seconds to a minute vs. 3 minutes + like you all are talking about. Still creates a bottleneck for the bartenders on a busy day / night.
