What are you drinking now?

Day and a half in the 50's with bright sun skies. Felt like summer. Now clouds and back into the 40's. April never touched 70. January did :/

Nice crushable neipa before 3 days of rain start.

Swung by another brewery I don’t frequent enough to get a 4-pack of this, a crowler if their new sour and a kolsch this afternoon. This IPA is banging!

Is that naturally or force carbonated. Bubbles on point, especially for an oatmeal

Weihenstephan Hefe Weissbier clone. It's far from perfect... Learned a few things on brewing wheat beer with this one.

I’ll take a stab at it. Amarillo & Strata.
That’s a nice looking NEIPA!

Westvleteren XII is an authentic Trappist beer, available only at the St. Sixtus Abbey. SRM is 33. Too dark by 2015 BJCP guidelines (12-22). So I guess it's not authentic? I would also point out that quad or quadrupel is an American term, not Belgian. Belgian dark strong ale is determined by the brewers, not the BJCP. Westy XII has been brewed far longer than BJCP has been around. Some Belgian "quads" are lighter, and some are darker. Live with it.

I think it’s important to note that a style having been around for much longer than BJCP only solidifies their classification of the style.

Sure, the brewer determines the recipe, but if we are to follow guidelines for styles, then what guidelines do we follow? Some imaginary ones or the ones that the professionals determine?

If you make a Pilsner, what makes it a Pilsner? How do you know it’s a Pilsner without some guidelines telling you what it should be like? Comparing to another style or a definition of style?

Thanks man! First attempt so I’m happy.

But you’re wrong

I’m a bottler. It’s a bit over carbonated but it makes it nice and dry and super drinkable

juice.

Copy that.

I wouldn’t say over carbed at all...it’s hard to get those perfect bubbles (not just your initial head) in an oatmeal. I’d love to try man.

You ever do Fellowship on the Homebrew?
