Random Beer Thoughts

[trickytunadicky]

I'd say the "traditional" style of American Wheat Ale is no where near as popular as it once was (Widmer Hefeweizen, Oberon, etc...) as most American Pale Wheat / American Wheat Ales are simply Pale Ales or IPA's that have wheat added to them (Little Sumpin Sumpin, Gumballhead, Boulevard Hoppy Wheat, Marz Jungle Boogie, Fortunate Islands, Akari Shogun, etc...).

If I'm in the mood for a "wheat ale" these days it is likely going to be a hoppy one like I described above, or a hefeweizen / witbier.

I still bang a fresh 6 pack of Oberon every late March, sometime 2. Orange slices and everything. Fite me.

I don't think I've bought a single wheat beer that's not live oak hef since they started canning and I can literally buy it at every grocery and gas station around me.

Interesting talk:

Not a huge fan of listening to beer podcasts, I’m that old guy that would prefer to read stuff as opposed to watching or listening. What did they say about the secondary?

Inflated secondary prices put inflated expectations on beer and risk turning it into a wine type market, where most people are priced out of the "high end" stuff. On site only is his prefered way to combat this. More or less.

Hasn't he provided some mule groups with bottles and benefitted from the secondary prices? Or was that someone else?

No King Henry 2.0 / Reserve Barleywine / Rare Barleywine / Whatever it's called from Goose this year. Apparently it didn't turn out. Jankoski made a post about it this morning. Much sadness. Now I have to decide if the Knob Creek & Coffee are enough to get me out of bed on Black Friday.

They might as well just start throwing live cows, flour, and raw potatoes in the mash tun at this point

When they brewed it here with the 12% Beer Project it was pretty good

Sometimes I feel like craft beer made a decision to completely rip into two extremes. It used to be full of cheesy names and labels and it was sort of taken as a fringe food thing. Now it's either gone the direction of trying to be pretentious and develop a snob-like culture or the direction of being completely ridiculous in its excess. The only intersection seems to be shitlords trying to get rich trading both ends.

Also, Magnolia in the Haight Ashbury has some phenomenal cask beers. During Strong Beer Week or whatever it is called, some amazing variety

Reserve is really the only one I'm after at this point, and I'm in NC so I'll be passing on the "rush around town on the busiest day of the year for AB-Inbev" thing this year.
