Random Beer Thoughts

Butterfly Pea Blossoms can turn one of 2 colors. If the solution is acidic, such as a mead or berlinner, you get bluey purple. If it is basic, you get magenta. My guess is bro is unaware of this, and just threw the blossoms into a NEIPA and hoped for the best.

Proof that neipas are ******* basic.

****. that is a read and a half. Just ****.

I'm just jealous this homie has a degree in Video Game Design from NYU.

Sprouse, 25, is now America’s youngest Master Brewer

Being a Master Brewer is not a qualification one studies for, but more a job title, “in the same way that lead mechanic is a thing"

One of my customers when I worked at Nordstrom’s, daughter was going to NYU for video game design and holy **** what she would tell me about the cost of tuition.

$68,128 for 2017-18 academic year. It's a problem there and everywhere else.

At what point do these stop being beers? That's gotta be at least 50% fruit puree.

My tuition at SFSU is a minuscule compared to that.

You’re a problem everywhere else The Ryan!

Ignorance is bliss.

Has anyone here had a Brut IPA? Sounds like hop water, but maybe...maybe it works?

Mikkeller has a beer called Nelson Sauvin Brut. It's probably the best beer they ever make - but last I checked, it's $17 for a 750mL of what is essentially an overattenuated DIPA.

So Stone released a beer called I'm Peach, made a completely non-political "impeach" joke on IG, and now the alt-right is getting their snowflakes in a bunch over it.

It's pretty amazing.

That’s a very different beer...pretty sure it’s a Bier de champagne w/ Nelson

It's a biere de champagne, tastes nothing like a DIPA. Are you confusing it with something else?

According to the flavor profile in the article, it sounds pretty similar - at least to what I remember it tasting like. What would be the major differences?

...maybe? It was super-dry upfront, with a super light sweetness, followed by a dominant hop backbone at the end, similar to a West Coast IPA.

This was also like six years ago, when I still had a baby dick palate - so I could be way off the mark.

The ABV and aging process first and foremost. Not sure if Nelson Sauvignon went through the disgorgement process, but it definitely has champagne yeast and also was wine barrel aged. From what I'm gathering, this IPA brut is just an IPA with enzymes added to dry it out...not necessarily champagne yeast, and definitely not long term aging in casks.

I wish I had picked it up when I first saw it in stores a month or two ago but they don't date the boxes. Took a chance on it for Sunday and it's really enjoyable. Two months old too

Wait a ******* second. Is this truly a thing?

I swear to Christ if you link me to something akin of “Methode Tradionale” or some ****, I’ll smack you square in the nuts.

It is a thing but not very common. As far as I know almost nobody is doing it in the authentic méthode Champenoise way (sry, don't smack me). The only really traditional ones I've had are Bosteels Deus and Enlightenment Brut. I'm not sure if Mikkeller was removing the yeast from the bottles, but it's certainly not an authentic biere de champagne in the cans.

I, for one, only take authentic things in the can.

Fair. Smack withdrawn. Yeah, I can’t see a beer being riddled, particularly an IPA lol. May be an interesting approach to a Saison or something though.


****, I hate myself for typing that.

Fine, I'm writing a greasemonkey script that replaces your avatar with a big turd.
