I like a pinch of Old Bay in natty boh, but that's a legal requirement as a Marylander.

I’m drinking a Sam Adams at an airport bar and I see a salt shaker nearby. I’m tempted but that could be the worst troll ever.

Friends that went to Pils and Love said it was amazing, and they're picky SOBs so I'm going to guess it was very good.

Had many delicious beers in Chicago, can confirm from the other weekend that Maplewood's juicy IPAs are really quite good and sometimes it is difficult to leave and catch your flight home. Also had a Hubbard's Cave super fresh IIPA picked up from Beer Temple the day after it was canned that was so delicious that my wife continues to take my beers away for her own consumption. Chicago: I'd visit again and eat a pizza casserole and drink all of the beers.

Maybe im reading it wrong but it clearly states that there is bacteria that converts dmso to dms not that they create dms. The precursors for dms are in malt not yeast, and good brewing practices should put you in a position to not have them in your beer. The original post that I responded to talked about off flavors due to yeast. DMS just isn't one as it isn't due to the yeast as much as the brewing. Also if you get enterobacter in your beer then DMS isn't gonna be the worst thing you smell and taste.

Served a bottle of 2013 Rodenbach Caractère Rouge at a 30's themed beer buffet dinner I hosted tonight (based on this article: http://www.fultonhistory.com/Newspa...%20-%205675.pdf) It was very good. Some oxidative character, but it honestly made it more appealing in a port wine manner. No acetic acid, lots of cherry candy flavor.

Also if you get enterobacter in your beer then DMS isn't gonna be the worst thing you smell and taste. If your argument is that yeast and bacteria don't create DMS but actually converts it to DMS from another compound, as is the case with most compounds in beer, then I dunno what to tell you. Yes they don't create DMS out of thin air. Also, read the section on DMSO precursors more closely.

My argument is you find or get DMS in a beer and it isn't the yeast fault. The fault for that is in the brewing not the fermentation.

Kosher man posted:My argument is you find or get DMS in a beer and it isn't the yeast fault. The fault for that is in the brewing not the fermentation. Well then you should have posted that instead of "  DMS is not made by yeast   " which as is usually the case when someone tries to be a know-it-all goon, is wrong. There are also arguments to be made against the quote above, while although it is generally more true, in the case of mixed fermentations or kettle sours (which was the context of your original statement, not a clean sacch. cerevisae beer), DMS can be a big issue, due to fermentation issues, even if proper brewing technique is followed. I really wouldn't care or try to act like an rear end in a top hat about if your post wasn't so smug while being so incorrect. If you want to learn more about it, join the Milk the Funk group on Facebook and ask about it. DMS issues in mixed fermentations and sour beers is a Thing and is posted about a lot.

This is the shittiest most pedantic derail because the purpose of my original post was just to point out how many things can go wrong during the brewing process. Nobody cares where the compounds are coming from, just that they can occur.

Just opened my last 2013 BCBW and all it is making me do is hate myself for not buying cases of this when I had the chance. This is absolutely one of the best BA barleywines ever made.

First post in this thread so sorry if I'm treading old ground. But holy loving poo poo California, why have you been hiding New England IPA's from me?! Just opened a can on one from a local brewery, 'Cosmic Fly By' from Ol' Republic. Bursting with juicy fruity goodness over that timeless IPA character. Any others I should keep my eyes peeled for out here on the West Coast?

Fat Lou's experience so far with Chicago Brut IPAs: Maplewood Mega Dry Batch 1: Quite good. Aroma and flavor is near a NE, but pretty dry. Not as dry as I would expect with that name. Maplewood Mega Dry Batch 2: Better than the first. Very dry. Again reminds me of a NE IPA in aroma and flavor. Aftertaste has an unexpected bright crackery aspect that is really enjoyable. Middlebrow Art Brut: Almost feels like a dry Belgian Pale Ale even though it uses straight up American Ale yeast. I like it, but I doubt it is where the style will end up. Around the Bend Extra Circus: I think this might be my favorite so far. It is straight up bone dry and super clean. Nice tropical hops. It is 7.5%, but honestly comes across way less. Cruz Blanca Brut IPA: Pretty good. The Simcoe hops are strong, so I know this is going to be divisive, but I dig it. Nothing super special though. Iluminated Brew Works Radionic Amplifier: I am generally mixed on IBW's IPAs, but this is one of their better ones. Not as dry as I would like, but the flavor and aroma are on point and kinda makes up for lack of dryness. Hailstorm Hopsecco: Not...very...good. Way too much grape juice added. Mikerphone Brut ee Licious: Please no. Diacetyl. Not dry. Meh. Overall, if the style ends up close to what AtB and Maplewood are doing I am going to by very happy. Fat Lou fucked around with this message at 04:55 on Aug 20, 2018 |

DrHammond posted:But holy loving poo poo California, why have you been hiding New England IPA's from me? Hammond, his liver opened I was so used to any old IPA having at least some of those clear qualities that my first IPA in the Midwest being malty as hell caused me to look at the beer as though it were broken. I’d forgotten how much malty sweetness they jam in there out west. That’s fine but the juicy styles just don’t exist out there either with any regularity. It’s like that thing where butter is different between coasts but beer.

this is a pretty outdated notion. crystal malts have pretty much all but disappeared from west coast ipa. good west coast style ipa is all about the hops.. at least in California, maybe Oregon is still turning out PNW malty ipa but I doubt it

Nope, the PNW malty IPA is all but dead. I saw one in 3 months in the Northwest and it was specifically done as like a "throwback" the same way modern breweries will do a crystal heavy C hop IPA/Pale in the Sierra Nevada vein

Apache posted:I've got a surplus of Hidden Springs fruited kettle sours and other Tampa beer. I'll send a box to whomever gets closest to a random number generator output between 1 and 100 that I'll run Tuesday afternoon.  I received the package last week and cracked open the Key Lime Pie; it was awesome. Can't wait to try the cracktus next week when I get back from my work trip. Thanks again. You're a solid dude! Edit: I had my own MZ can and from what I've heard, some people noted that it had very little if any coconut flavor while mine were full of it. I'm looking forward to trying the one you sent to see if there is any difference.
