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

I don't understand the ESB connection either... Especially since Thailand was one of the only southeast Asian regions to avoid European colonial rule and Thais didn't start drinking beer until the 1930's

 

[two_hearted]

I don't think Thailand is his "home" country. Its where he lives now.

 

[barrooze]

The clue: although it should,it contains no ingredients from my home nation.

It is in fact an ESB brewed with vienna and munich, with a lb of flaked maize for good measure.

His home nation must be the UK. It should have UK ingredients, but instead has German and American.

Curse my poor reading comprehension! Or was it just me overreaching and assuming he was Thai like others?

 

[Boleslaus]

Well we only knew his home country was England after he confirmed the answer and said that his Dad lives there. So it was natural to assume his "location" was his home.

 

[bottlebomber]

Those were my same deductions...

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Quite

PVH you're up. If he doesn't go by 5:24pm somebody else can post a photo.

 

[barrooze]

True, he was being clever. From his name, I figured he wasn't Thai, but thought is was American instead. Hence my initial guess. It was definitely a fun round with fun hints! And it was a beer!

 

[Reno_eNVy]

This style requires some time... and not just once.

 

[barrooze]

Old ale?

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Nay

 

[keesh]

Barleywine is my guess. I'll say english because that is what you have in your signature, hah! Its obviously something with a high ABV since it needs to be aged and has no head, and it doesn't look dark enough to be an RIS.

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Nope, not barleywine.

 

[Winters49441]

Old bruin, brown sour

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Nyet.

New hint: the type of vessel in which this beer will sit for an extended period of time(s) is important.

 

[Haputanlas]

Flanders red

 

[jfrank85]

Or flanders brown perhaps?

 

[Winters49441]

Flanders brown and ode bruin are the same

So my guess is 17D: Straight (Unblended) Lambic

Oh my bad

 

[two_hearted]

Barrel aged stout

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Barrel aged stout

I'll give it to you!

It's a Double Bourbon Barrel RIS

 

[two_hearted]

Hint: I had one last night and it was a little cloudy.

 

[2thumbsup]

American amber

 

[mcbethenstein]

Irish red

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Ipa

 

[two_hearted]

Close but no cigar.

 

[two_hearted]

Its hard not to give this one away with a hint... but you mostly find commercial examples of this on the west coast.

 

[bottlebomber]

American IPA

 

[two_hearted]

Nope but closer. I'm going by the description on the bottle.

 

[D_Ranged_Eskimo]

Wheat Pale Ale
