Random Beer Thoughts

I'm actually kind of surprised nobody has thought to use potatoes as an adjunct yet. You could use Summit hops and smoke it to make a legit baked potato beer.

Hop Potato?

 

[lazerviking]

Spoiler alert, there has been at least 1 potato beer that im aware of. And it was a berliner of all things!
Bayerischer Bahnhof did an entire series with different grains, hops and the potatoes

Your onion hop comment made me lol though

I really liked that potato Berliner. I drank a lot of it during Philly Beer Week maybe 4 years ago?

A local brewery did an "Idaho Style IPA" with all Idaho hops and potato flakes.

I made a gluten-free experimental potato, carrot, sorghum, fruit, wine/beer hybrid experiment abomination. Was not very tasty.

I was inspired by a post on Milk the Funk that was apparently pretty good. I just don't think I used the right yeast.

Was the yeast harvested from a supermodel's vagina?

That conversation certainly took a different direction than expected. Would love to know more about the Veil vs. TC/Aslin thing.

 

[PSUMike]

The fat guy from Fall Out Boy looks like that one random guy who showed up at the beer share that no one there knows.

My random beer thought for the day whilst surfing Youtube when I should have been working...

I honestly don't know why people think Veil has an issue with TC; as far as I know they don't and the Veil guys love TCs beer.

there is an issue between Veil and Aslin though, and that is Aslins fault (brewer at Aslin was pissed that Veil had so much hype when they opened without 'earning their dues' or some **** like that and made a beer last summer with a derogatory name against Veil but quickly changed it to something slightly less agro after being called out on it - can't remember the name(s) of the beer in question though)

Landed some Tilquin Pinot Noir in Sweden, thumbs crossed I'll be able to get one (were announced as 3pp at first). The process is the worst as we have to register a request to but this beer at the state alcohol monopoly and then they re-directs it to the importer (the one that announced that they had some Pinot) and the importer sends a reply to the monopoly if they are able to comply with the request and the monopoly sends the customer an offer by mail to which the customer has 14 days to accept or decline. After that the customer might have to go to the physical store to which the bottle are to be delivered and pay 30% of the total as a down payment.... uhhh. Each step takes at least a couple of days, so the whole thing can take like 3 weeks or something.

TL;DR: hoping to get Tilquin Pinot Noir through the Swedish alcohol monopoly.

Accurate gif is accurate.
All the feels. I placed my Pinot Noir order 45 mins after the release was announced. Will it be enough? Who knows? I don't even know when I will know.

register a request to but buy this beer

damn it..

This! Would be nice to get instant feedback then at least you know if. Now you might be able to get 3 bottles or 1 or 0. To me it read like the first 30-something requests were processed as 3pp and the rest 1pp until they run out. Oh well, hoping for the best (and that I got my order in before you )..

Loads of bitching over the last few pages. Geez, now everyone hates hazy IPAs and juice like come on you all loved it.


But yeah, **** hazy IPAs. Where's da pils.

I still love them, -IF- they are made well. I think the issue is that so many of these breweries making them have no real clue what they are doing, and what makes the best examples (HF, Tree House, Trillium, Tired Hands, etc) the beers they are. The obsession with haziness for its own sake is probably the biggest culprit here. All these breweries aping the style care about is that it's "hazy" by any means necessary, and has an overload of some combo of the same half-dozen hops. The end result is an unbalanced, poorly-executed beer. Harsh bitterness on the finish is one of the most obvious flavor profiles.

This beer, on the other hand, is fantastic.

Hey, that's a good idea too.

This is what makes me yearn for Firestone distro

I love the way they taste, but my GI system hates NEIPAs. Hop Bowel Syndrome.

I think teku glasses suck. They're fine for stouts, fruited lambic and wild ales I suppose, but pilsners and single ipas suck in a teku.

I've been drinking pils/lager/light IPAs etc out of a very narrow glass or the vessel itself lately. It's quite remarkable how **** a lager/pils will taste in a wide tulip vs the vessel. More aroma in the tulip glasses, but overall taste is thin and bland.

Even IPAs I'm enjoying more from the can or bottle. Taste is just way better and I'm willing to sacrifice the aroma

If it's any consolation everything they send would probably be at least 4-6 weeks old by the time it got there just like it is up here in Mass.
