time to play the "can you name this style by the pictures" game.

[MedicMang]

Pale Ale

 

[tripplehazzard]

Nut brown ale

Happy Monday. Still looking for the right style.

 

[MedicMang]

Irish red

 

[TheCADJockey]

I'm sorry guys. I did not realize I could post hints, I should have read all the way back. I'll give one that should be pretty solid since I missed Sat/Sun hints. Again, my apologies.

Hint #1: Its from a local brewery and can be found at nearly any establishment in the area that offers good drinks. Be sure to order one with a plate of wings if you visit.

 

[JordanKnudson]

Vienna Lager

 

[TheCADJockey]

You got it. Flying Bison - Rusty Chain

 

[JordanKnudson]

Awesome! Okay, here's the next one (apparently I needed to wash out my glass better between beers!). I'm looking for the specific brew, so I'll start with a big hint. This is a brew from a nearby brewery, one of their year-round offerings, and it's a "big" beer.

3 Floyds Dreadnaught

 

[JordanKnudson]

Well, this is going to get finished off quickly. It is a 3 Floyds beer, yes, but not Dreadnaught. So...you know, one of the other 3 year-rounders that they have...I think I'm making this too easy on you

 

[chocotaco]

Must be Arctic Panzer Wolf then.

 

[MedicMang]

Lime-arita

 

[JordanKnudson]

Lime-arita it is! Err, wait, no, the other one...Arctic Panzer Wolf! Delicious, by the way.

 

[chocotaco]

OK, here's the next one. I made sure to rotate it so it wasn't sideways, unlike JordanKnudson

To be honest, I wasn't even sure what the style of this one was - I had to look at BeerAdvocate. So what they said is what I'm looking for, but if you're reasonably close to that I'll give it to you.

Japanese solar-bobbing sumo approved of this beer.

As always, bonus cookie if you guess the exact beer. It's from a relatively new, relatively nearby brewery, and it's one of their four (that I know of) distributed offerings.

Cali Common

 

[chocotaco]

Wrong!

 

[tripplehazzard]

90 Schilling maybe odell!?

 

[JordanKnudson]

American wheat.

And sorry my picture was sideways! I actually don't know how to correct that when I'm uploading from my phone...HBT always automatically turns it sideways...any idea how you fix that?

This is close, but it's missing a magic word or two.

No idea how to rotate the pic from your phone. I was just giving you a hard time

 

[JordanKnudson]

Haha I know you were! Still though, it always bothers me that I can't get the picture oriented correctly...I wonder if there actually is a way to do that.

And I'll also guess that it's a Hefeweizen, specifically.

 

[drainbamage]

I know on my phone, it seems to matter how I take the pic for it to post right-side up. If I hold the phone vertically (normal) to take the pic, it posts sideways. If I hold it sideways to take the pic, it posts normally. Bass-ackwards!

Although, there was one time it randomly posted a vertical pic normally, so there must be a way around it.

Oh, and American white IPA.

 

[chocotaco]

The phone has an accelerometer that it uses to determine the orientation. It is smart enough to make the photo itself be in the correct orientation. Not sure why it doesn't always happen.

And, both of your answers are further from the correct answer than JordanKnudson's original answer.

 

[chocotaco]

Hint: JordanKnudson's original guess was close.

But there is a word that describes two different data points of a particular kind of beer. And that word is missing.

There is another word that describes the type of yeast used, but I'll do without it as long as someone uses the other two important words (the nationality word isn't that important to me although it is technically part of the style).

So we're looking at 2 to 4 words. 2 of them are deemed important. One of those important words is present in JordanKnudson's original guess. One of the less important words is also present.

For those who want to guess the specific beer, here is an additional hint: when I said "reasonably local" I mean reasonably local to me: San Clemente, CA which is near San Diego. This brewery is roughly 2 years old and they're known for retaining a particular consultant who is well-known in homebrewing circles for doing interesting things with interesting yeasts, particularly brettanomyces and 100% brett beers, especially his 100% brett brux "trois" IPA (although this particular beer does not use brett).

 

[chocotaco]

P.S. if someone guesses the style, I'll wait a little while to see if someone guesses the exact beer. If so, that person wins the round. If not, I'll give it to the style guesser. If you guess the style, though, it won't be hard to derive the exact beer from the hints I've given.

 

[JordanKnudson]

American Pale Wheat Ale. Modern Times Fortunate Islands?

 

[chocotaco]

 

[JordanKnudson]

This one may or may not be tricky for you sleuths. I'm looking for the specific beer, as the style alone will be too easy to guess. It's another relatively local beer. I will see how the first day of guessing goes, and if it seems too hard, I'll give big hints.

Zombie Dust

 

[TheCADJockey]

I dont know style by I want it in my face now brewery?

Oh, and that previous Modern Times - Hoppy Tropical Wheat looks so sexy. I definitely don't think that one makes it this far to our side of the states.

It is delicious.
