Carb test of my new brew Im calling, Hi Nelson! Nelson Sauvin Saison with Hibiscus. Tasting great now. A nice tartness up front from Hisbiscus and it plays very well with the Nelson and its character.

Damn that looks amazing. Looks like I could drink that on a cruise ship or a gallon of it after doing yard work on a summer afternoon.

Do you have the recipe out there? I have been thinking about something on this line. I v'e been drying the flowers from my plant for the past year or so but I will still need to buy some.

Excelsior brewing company Bridge Jumper IPA. Great tasting brew.


Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Found this today by surprise. A little reward for brewing and a beautiful day off. Got another sour in the pipeline. Cant wait to see how this one turns out!

A friend who works for Fort Collins Brewery shared one of those with me when I was in CO. Really liked that one.

I don't like to talk bad about breweries, but after talking to several people in the industry in their area I won't be buying much of O'Dells stuff...

 

[Whut]

Yum.

 

[weirdboy]

Doing a little sanity check on this beer. The reviews on beer advocate and the like aren't the best, but that is because it was way over spiced when they released it 4 years ago.

Now that those flavors have had some time to smooth out it is a very tasty beverage in my opinion.


EDIT: checking more recent reviews seems to back my opinion, too.

Just got home from work but also wrote my first Long Term Care policy today. Time to celebrate and hot damn this is good!

 

[mhurst111]

Had several tasters from Arvada brewing company, upslope, epic & Tivoli. Got a bottle of CS st. Bretta winter that I'll open once I get off the light rail. The surprise of the night was suavecito tequila. Distilled in Mexico, only distributed in CO.

I didn't even know there was such a thing as a Firestone Walker teku. Granted, I haven't been up that way in a couple of years. *sigh* I guess I need to head up to Paso again for a weekend of debauchery.


Also, congrats! I'm not really a sales guy per se but I do know the feeling of closing a huge deal or two.

Wonder why they have that rep in the industry. Being bullies?

 

[BrewinHooligan]

That and not really caring about the craft beer community where they operate. Guess that's part of big business though

Thanks man, its a good feeling for sure. And yeah this Teku was sent to me in a BMAW, and ive very happy to have it haha you should get one!

 

[weirdboy]

I guess before I go off getting a FW teku I probably need to get rid of some of my existing glassware, or else my wife will kill me. Maybe I will donate some to the breweriana MAW...

I PMed coldcrash about some possibilities to get things moving.

 

[mattmmille]

First pour from a bomber of what I call "Big Dark Stout"...pretty self-explanatory. This was my one and only brew that used up some old grains and extract stuff I inherited along with some used equipment. It was also my first stout. I think I threw a vanilla bean in the primary. This was bottled Dec. 20, 2013. I think it was the vanilla that added a fruity tang that I didn't like when first sampling, but it has given way to the roasted flavors now. There is still a little tang on the back end. Not great, but okay for a second tier beer.

That's weird. When I went there they couldn't stop talking about helping the community (if I remember correctly)

I think the "tang" comes from the roasted malts, or maybe the water chemistry that results from using the roasted malts. I have had it a few times in dark, roasty beers I've made, and I've also seen it many times in commercial beers in the same vein. Of course not every dark, roasty beer has that tang, but I suspect something is going on in the water/roast combination that causes it.

This is an interesting sour and i like it a lot! The cedar plays really nice with this.

Now this is an interesting. Second pour of the Big Dark Stout with "lightly smoked" sardines in oil. I don't think I've bought sardines in a decade or more, but they were on sale and I bought them on a whim. I didn't know that I was going to pop open this stout tonight, but heck yeah!

 

[Fuzzymittenbrewing]

Holy Brett heaven Batman! Epic Elder Brett collab w/Crooked Stave. (Release #3) this is damn amazing. Funky and tart a awesome aroma. Gotta fet a few more for sure!

 

[BrewinHooligan]

Community maybe, craft beer community not so much...

On to a Ska Euphoria pale ale now

 

[finsfan]

Second pour, same picture.

 

[Hello]

If it tastes good drink it, it won't hurt you!

Had a few HB's while prepping to bottle most of a full batch for the first time in my present brewing life, a saison 40 bottles the rest will go in a shorty keg.

On a Weyerbacher kick at the moment, seems as every time I pick up another bottle of Riserva I grab another selection of their's, need to pick a few more of these to put in the cellar,

Ramble,

I wanna try your beer. HB swap?

Thanks! Its darn tasty and for sure gonna be a great summer refresher.







Ill msg it to you after I have dinner in a few.

Id love the recipe too. If you don't mind.

Smoked seafood is pretty much the perfect pairing for a stout in my opinion. But, it's a good idea to have something a bit acidic to balance it out and cleanse your palate every now and then.

More of the Elder Brett. If this is what Crooked Stave is like I need some in my life!

That one is good, but sort of 'crooked stave light'. PM me to get the full strength versions.

Got a few trades lined up but when I take care of em we definitely can deal. Thanks!
