The Beer Thread

Drinking some Schwabenbraeu VolksfestBier.  Good Marzen style beer. 

Had the Austrian Beer Kapsreiter LandBier.  This stuff is truly heaven on earth.  Its a Pilsner.  James Ford might like it as it is sold in a resealable bottle so he won't have to drink it all at once.

Drank some Fat Tire Spring Blonde which was rather tasty.

And then drank some Flying Dog Lucky SOB a decent Irish Red Ale. 

I had a vodka soda with a lemon twist followed by two more soda waters with lemon twists. It was delightful.

Is your continued referring to New Belgium Brewing as "Fat Tire" designed to be funny, or to demonstrate your ignorance?

Do you also refer to Union Craft as "Duckpin", or Heavy Seas as "Loose Cannon"?

When will everyone realize atomic doesn't know what he's talking about in basically every thread?

Neither a simple mistake.  Do you ever actually discuss beer?  I talk about all the beers I drink and you never once say oh I had that too and enjoyed it with some crabs. 

I have not had that beer. If I see it, maybe I'll check it out.

I did have an awesome German beer last week. It was a gose.

Splitting a bomber of Three Floyds Arctic Panzer Wolf tonight. Pairing with the chili I'm prepping now. 11 oz of 9% DIPA, living on the edge man.

Listening to Gil Scott-Heron as I make the food. Good times.

Gose sounds interesting.  I will have to see if my local store carries it.

Let me know if you find anything.

They had some  gose beers (from American breweries if I recall) on draft at Max's sour day of the Belgian beer fest and at a sour event at Churchkey (from German breweries), both of which I attended. However, i'm not familiar with any sold regionally in bottles.

And when they call it a "sour", it's all relative. It's a lot less sour than some of those Belgian pucker beers.

I sampled  DIPA at Trader Joes today. One taste and my thought was "Worst DIPA I've ever tasted."

Reviews seem the confirm this:

random sample review:


Pour out of 22 oz bottle, clear orange pour with white head, aroma brought notes of cardboard, metal, some rotten veggie, acetone, butter, you name it it had it, this almost me gag even smelling it. Taste is foul, some cardboard, acetone, garbage juice and veggie with a side of butter, I dumped out about 99% of this bottle. Terrible.

I do remember a pie eating contest in the 80s where I lost to a guy. He puked up mid contest into the pie tin…then proceeded to eat it all up and crush (and gross out) the competition. Was that you stevewizzle?

wait were we talking about beer? 

I finally tried Orange Whip this weekend, can't say I was all too impressed…

Also, quite excited to have Flower Power distributed locally now.
