I first had a 2012 and 2013 tasted vertically. The consensus was it tasted sorta like a liquid/beer form of a warhead candy. I loved it and it was my introduction to sours. I am going to buy a few every year and keep doing the vertical tastings for a bit.



After work today I probably got myself put on some sort of watch list. I went, traded in 3 propane tanks and then went and filled a couple gas cans. I bet you if there happened to be a fire within a mile radius I would be questioned as a person of interest. I was only catching up and refilling so that I can continue to grill (for self gas is fine) and have my beer burner tank and backup both full as well as filling the mower cans but you never know. After mowing lawn, I am now sitting here with a pale ale as I have no lawnmower beers in the house.

I could be wrong but I think La Folie is pasteurized. Did you notice a difference between 2012 and 2013? I'm not trying to come off as a jerk. I am actually curious and would be interested if someone knowledgeable could come in and explain to me if a beer still could develop after pasteurization.

It is pasteurized but i dont think it kills absolutely everything. I could be wrong though.

Drinking a hb at the race shop.

 

[DisturbdChemist]

Water. Going to force myself to not drink on the weekdays. This is going to suck!

All of New Belgium's sours and wilds are pasteurized before hitting the stainless part of their brewery. Souring is done in the foudre room and pasteurized inline before reaching the clean beer side for packaging. I don't think it was the result of any specific problem. Probably just a safe guard. Sucks anyway.

However, the blend ratios should be different every year. So while the beer won't change (in theory) they should taste different (in theory).

Development in the bottle would be based on storage conditions and anything in the packaging. Obviously, it will still be susceptible to handling damage based on temperature and other variables. Whether one would be able to pick them out under the acids and other esters is another thing. One of New Belgium's blenders said the bottle will be how they want it to taste when it leaves the brewery and when you buy it. I think she made mention that there was not any purpose or reason to cellar the beer as it will not change.

I would say it won't change much. Any oxidation it may pick up in the bottle will probably be undetectable compared to oxidation picked up in wood aging.

2012 bottle. If I didn't know better I would swear this beer had cherry in it. The things that bugs do to dark beers can be insane

I told myself that starting this week I was going to do the same. So anyways I'm just finishing my 3rd black ipa just in time for bed. Oh well we'll get em next week.

 

[mattmmille]

Opened a bomber of my Costa Kona Mocha Latte Stout to see if there are any differences between the 12 oz and 22 oz bottles. Pretty much the same, but tasty.

Just finished the night with a HB ginger infused apple cider. I'm going to put the last of this batch into the fridge when I get up from the computer. The next gallon batch of apple-ginger is done bottle carbing now and a 6gal. batch of apple-ginger cider is nearly done fermenting. It's gone now so no photo.

Yeah, they are pasturized. I did notice that they tasted a little different, and the consisitency/flavor is the reason I am going the vertical route with them. The 12 was a little less tart than the 13 and they had subtle differences in flavor. I would like to think that my pallate has improved so that I can better taste the differences and figure that it should be a reasonably stable beer to taste the differences between one year and the next. Maybe I should just drink them and not worry about it.

Coffee. I have determined that I wake up more often through the night if I eat a fatty dinner too soon before bed. Not to mention that I had a bizarre dream last night and woke up before I got eaten alive by some sort of caterpillers that were over a foot tall. I may not remember my dreams often, but when I do they are really strange.

I still have vertical as well...

Blah...coffee. It's my birthday, I am having an absolute **** week at work, the beer I brewed to have ready for my birthday tastes like a$$, etc.

Basically, I'm being a whiny little b!tch today. On the bright side, I looked at the timing and noticed that I put 6 of these crappy beers in the fridge after only 2.5 weeks so that they would be (theoretically) ready to drink today. Maybe the rest of the beers that will be left at room temperature for 4+ weeks will be better.

 

[Remmy]

Happy Birthday, man!

I'll drink a few beers at lunch for you. Next Tues is my b-day and I will be off the rocker.
