Random Beer Thoughts

[arren]

Those are adjectives

old age softens my sensibilities and rash thoughts.

Bring on the ********!

Looking for the perfect beer to impress at your next tasting? Bring the experience of drinking straight from the oak barrel.
The featured beer? Something brand new from Oregon's World-Class House of Sour.

We're taking reservations today for the first bottles ever released.
Guaranteed none of your tasting partners will have ever seen this bottle before. In fact, we haven't even seen them ourselves. But they should be arriving in the next few days.

Sang du Chene is an intensely aged sour. Featuring a series of strong blond and triple ales put inside three different large format oak vessels -- foudres, puncheons and hogsheads -- giving a strong wood presence to every layer of this premier sour.

Only a select few have tried it, but the whispers we're hearing are that it's something very special.

Cut-off for bottle reservations is tonight.

Cheers,
Matthew

Three different formats? Intensely aged? How do you age something intensely?

Anybody tried any of the BA Yodeler variants yet? Port and Laphroaig came to town, and I'm torn on whether or not to buy.

I'm going to take generic beer descriptors and wrongly apply them while drinking at breweries just to see how many neckbeards I can trigger.

This BA stout is so juicy.

Hazy pilsners are the best.

You can really taste the barnyard funk in this IPA.

This DIPA is really malty.

This lambic is so pillowy.

This porter tastes lightstruck. Sad!

I don't think that's an unfair descriptor for most of my local breweries DIPAs, they embrace it.

Edit: we live in the same city.

I say this more often than not about DIPAs, especially any brewed in the southeast.

How familiar are you with the other beers Draai Laag puts out?

 

[FoudreGuy]

Kinda surprised hazy hopped pilsners aren't a thing yet. Would it be a disaster with cold fermentation?

And the Midwest.

Kellerbiers are a thing and they're delicious. Although they're not too hoppy compared to IPAs.

I've had Kellerbiers before but I've never had one that looked like chcken stock or orange juice.

The extended conditioning is always gonna drop some of the sediment out of solution. This one I had was pretty murky though:

So far I've only tried Relic, R2, and Cru. I like Relic, but I found the other two mediocre.

It could be done. Massive amounts of hops plus a powdery lager strain without any lagering will get you there.

I've been wondering how other markets are perceiving dl beers since they got picked up by Shelton brothers. They are local to me and I've always found them to be wildly inconsistent, which really sucks as I want them to get their **** together and do really well. Lately it seems they are playing around with the idea of what is the weirdest **** we can throw in a barrel with a beer and get people to stand in line for. Personally I didn't try any of the yodeler variants they just released but the few reports I have heard were in regards to the laphroig version and they were not favorable.
Sorry I can't share anything firsthand there. But, I have enjoyed la pienture and goednacht. More times than not. Again, wildly inconsistently though.

I tried a sample of the bourbon yoedler on draft and it was just ok to me. the barleywine title on it throws me for a loop as in my opinion it tasted much closer to belgian strong dark ale.

I agree with wanting to like them but overall finding their stuff pretty weird and inconsistent. La Pienture is my favorite as well and I do recommend folks picking that up if you see it.

I normally don't have a huge issue with kids at a brewery, but holy ****, it should be common sense that you don't bring your kid to a 7pm tapping of Pliny the Younger at a bar.

There's not only a 7 year old, but a ******* toddler getting sardine-packed into this ****. ******* unacceptable.

Priorities man. You get way more likes posting PtY pics than pics of your kids.

They can't pay for a babysitter when they're spending all their extra money on beer, quality parenting right there.

You can brings kids into Toronado SD?

The only good places that you cannot bring kids into in San Diego are Rocky's and Hamilton's, and I am not even positive that is true about Hamilton's











And Rocky's is good enough to let your kids fend for themselves outside.

I'm about to box up some beers to trade for Cloudwater DIPA cans. Trading for UK IPA.

What have I become

 

[WhalezB4Rarez]

oh, back to the 120 talk 5 pages ago. I still try to buy a bottle of 120 every time it's released. It's a great "sometimes" beer.

They are so good though. I had them on tap a few times.

I always read Omnipollos Hatt as Omnipollo's Hat. What kind of hat is it?

Y'all must have ugly kids.

I've loved each of the DIPA series I've had so far (v3 and v7 probably being my favourites) but the Birthday DIPA was only sold out of the brewery or shipped to UK addresses... and I'm a sucker for a Citra/Nelson DIPA:
