What's your favorite Beer?

Chins up lads, that's not that bad if you think in terms of the big picture. Craft beer is positively exploding. The general public has always quaffed bullshit. Bartles & James wine coolers, Boone's Farm "wine," whatever the fuck Zima was. More quality beer from small and medium sized breweries is being drunk than ever before.

Also: more for us.

To wit:

This imperial stout, aged wildly in oak in southern Illinois, and served at 55F. Reminds me of a really bright coffee infused with sour cherries and a hint of the barn. A pronounced alcoholic burn (10% ABV) makes me wish it were chillier outside. A big beer that insists I linger. An outstanding sour ale er stout. I'm anxious to try their noted framboise lambic now.

Good god… Not even a tolerable beer in the entire top 20. 90% of Americans are idiots.

Just a few really great beers tonight, in this order:



Can't say I was disappointed by any of these, all very good in their own right!

Launching Friday - I'll be there…..

DIP(sour)A. Extremely sour and extremely bitter at 150 IBU. The sour and tart notes somehow work together with the extreme bitterness. Like an apricot, a lemon, and a grapefruit having a menage a tois in a pile of yeast. This is an interesting beer and eminently quaffable despite its size. Really love it.

This sounds amazing. I will be scouring the city of St. Louis tomorrow for this. But for tonight:

Sainte Adairius Cask 200. Very nicely balanced sour. Delicious

Given my love of the fruit and brewer, I am reservedly anticipating this release.

Sweet, complex, strong, beautiful. Low in carbonation but not an issue due to its sirup-y texture…

Franziskanner Weissbier which i had in Germany, really good.

Also have a crush on two belgian beers

Kriek cherry

and the belle-vue geuze

Just opened this up, pretty good!
I'll say I liked the Orval a bit more though.

This is another solid outing from Trinity Brewing. TPS Report. Haha. Dudes wrecking a printer for saying "PC LOAD LETTER" A tart (pH = 5) witbier.

This is next. Wow. They aged in chardonnay casks with Riesling grapes. Champagne, funk, grape. It's more delicate than its alcohol punch.

Too sweet, too boozy (16.5%):

If available, go for the Schneider Weisse (Tap 7). And the Franziskaner Dunkles Weißbier.

Aventinus is a brewery I know, and thoroughly like…

Funny you mention it, btw... On April 5th my brother is organising a DJ Scratch Event at our flat... We will be serving... Schneider Tap 7...

He's also organising a barbeque for his birthday April 26th... We will be serving... Schneider Tap 7... And Tap 5 after dinner...
