Random Beer Thoughts

[SSTroller]

You would have loved the tasting we did a couple of months ago. Bully Guppy, most of the Dark Horse Lambeaks and Aigre Plead the 5th, Crime of Passion, and a bunch of infected Bruery ****.

Roble Blanco was the worst beer of the day, even beating out Bully Guppy.

Did you post any notes here anywhere?
Curious if Bully Guppy changed at all. My dad is still holding onto a bottle

I'm bringing Roble Blanco the next time we meet up.... and there's nothing you can do about it.

Probably, if not definitely on my Untappd. Distinctive characteristics of modeling glue, acetone, and harsh wood.

Had to send a beer back last night. Always nice when you do that and the barkeep actually knows the beer is ****** instead of trying to convince you otherwise. 2016 is way too late in the game for buttery beer.

It's kind of amazing how many breweries pump out butter beer and even more amazing how some people enjoy that flavor.

Tell your dad I want to be his friend.

So many people drink Barefoot Chardonnay, that stuff is straight up butter.

I ****** up a peach AWA and it had huge diacetyl. We called it "Candy Corn" and all sorts of people loved it. Boggles the mind, if it had been solely up to me I would have dumped it.

Seems to be really easy to do with peaches. I'm sure there is a brewing science reason why.

Probably the same concept behind how strawberry beers end up band-aid bombs too.

But yeah, we opened a b1 Fuzzy for the blind peach tasting, and it smelled like caramel corn and tasted like buttered popcorn Jelly Bellys.

It's apparently a desired characteristic in chardonnay, especially for older females.

2012 Sofie is so crushable. If I had anything else on hand I could drink 8 of, I would save it for the summer heat.

Are there any really cool wall mount beer openers that anyone likes in particular? For outdoor use.

The outdoor part would be tough. Every metal bar piece these days is ****.

Why does tapping a keg of Grimm Tessrect have to be a special event now a days?

Nothing to eat since brunch. All day hauling ******* mulch. 4.3% goses be kicking my ass.
Science or pussy?

When do we want to get together? SSTroller apparently wants to drink at my house.

Not a big fan of fresh Sophie. I hung onto a 750 for a couple years though, and damn, it was awesome!

Anyone have any knowledge of the on site waste water systems places like Hill Farmstead, Jester King, etc have? I mean, they must have some massive drain fields to handle all the waste water... I'm curious for personal future endeavors and for an issue ongoing with our current business.

In short - Information on waste water handling for breweries not on municipal systems.

I did a 4 year vertical to clean out my "cellar" before my move. 3 years seems to be the sweet spot. My friends called me crazy for keeping that beer for so long. I was right, it was tasty. They exaggerate a ton.

At JK there's Porta cans and an old airstream trailer that's been coveted to a ********* that's probably on a septic trank. There's a few small indoor restrooms too so I'd assume they're on some plumbing system but idk. Not something I've ever asked during one of their tours.

I guess I'm curious as to the entire complex, brewery waste and all... But thanks for the response!

Go here: https://anrweb.vt.gov/ANR/vtANR/Act250.aspx

Under 'town' type: Greensboro

Take a look at the permit applications for hill farmstead. The info is spread across a few documents but is all there.

Sometimes I see chatter about this on the AMMA facebook, but I am guessing the real info is behind the member paywall for meaderies. That being said, Jeff Herbert is building a new space in what looks like an open field in Arizona and might be exactly who you want to talk to.
