Random Beer Thoughts

Stone's latest terrible idea:

Beermaker crafts brew with treated sewage water

 

[Gonzoillini1]

I agree specificity is preferred but I'm not sure breweries always know for sure what they've received, especially if the barrels are purchased through a dealer rather than directly from a winery. I may be wrong.

I realize we've gone two pages on this point, but unless you are directly contracting with a distillery / winery or get barrels that have not had their identification removed, the brewery won't know what was previously held in the barrel (they might get wine type ala a Cabernet Sauvignon, but not the particular winery).

Moreover, as a single distillery produces a lot of brands (think your Buffalo Trace / Heaven Hill / etc...) you will not know what actual product came out of those barrels. For example, a few Chicagoland breweries (Imperial Oak being one of them) got some "WL Weller" barrels last year. However, the product that came from those barrels can be Weller Antique, Weller 12, Weller Special Reserve, William Larue Weller. So all the brewery knows is that they are getting a barrel that held a wheated bourbon, but not what exact bourbon was sold from that barrel.

My $.02 is that the quality of the barrel (how recently was it emptied, does it hold immediately or does it leak, any mold / other concerns about the exterior of the barrel, etc...) is so much more important than the contents of said barrel.

everyone knows it's pronounced "crick"



it's not "fram-bwa" but "fram-boys"?


wtf, why do i care

There's an e on the end of framboise, so the s would actually get a z sound.

jesus existed before wastewater treatment was invented and didn't care enough for his people to invent

chew on that

Well tbh, he did turn water into wine, and water back in jesus' day most likely had some **** in it. So jesus already beat stone to their ****** idea (pun intended).

Bruh if you don't specify the type of k-cup you're failing to educate your consumers.

Idk I thought it was cool to know that bcbs coffee was made with intelligentsia, I guess it's an unpopular opinion but I like when brewers go to that level of detail. Sometimes it can show that their taste aligns with yours or lead you to discover something new

I'd argue there is a significant difference between the type of coffee used and the barrel used.

It all comes down to money too. I know the parent company of Pappy forced a winery to either pay for saying it was aged in Pappy barrels or change the label. They changed their label.

I found out about https://coffeecollective.dk because HF said they were using it in their latest batch of earl. Discovered Barr Hill Distillery because they used it for Gin Clara, discovered Van Brunt because Other Half aged some stuff in it. I don't think Red Wine Damon would've been a sufficient descriptor for Port Damon. Don't think La Vie Est Belge would've been as interesting if they said aged in white wine barrels and not Vin Jaune.

Could God brew a beer so hazy that even he couldn't see through it?

We can talk about how many poops Arbitrator plans to take today.


Oh wait that's the random thought thread's M.O.

*Some Kolsch is good, and most, especially nearly every American attempt at it, is awful.

You should be ISO next time Trillium drops it. ******* delicious.

 

[BadJustin]

Local FB Beer group has two jabronies discussing Belgian Whites and Witbiers. Literally arguing over which is better. I'm gonna let this play out before I drop the truth bomb.

Gonna assume that tastes more like an IPA than a Kolsch. It is trillium.....
