i was a natty light guy in high school, when we found natty light bottles it was like the holy grail. we found a six pack in a gas station in central mass on a road trip my senior year and everyone took a bottle as like a sacred object, me and the gang

delirium tremens is alright but compared to other belgians the only thing that sets it apart is the pink elephants on the promo material. all of the trappist imports are way better and so is pretty much everything from Ommegang (three philosophers might be my favorite heavy beer in the world). but most importantly if you like the belgian style im happy for you. also here's a plug for Unibroue from Montreal. they bottle condition everything and i love that tasty sludge. |

Anyone try any gluten-free beer that was actually good? Whiskey is nice and all but I'd really like to sit back and enjoy a beer for once. |

Stone's "delicious ipa" is mostly gluten free, not certified and probably not enough for someone with full blown celiac's, but my friend who is merely "gluten sensitive" says it doesn't give her indigestion and other beers do |

I'm pretty sure coronas are meant to be "low gluten" but I wouldn't go drinking it if i had celica disease |

I sent him the text after reading this and he said he'll take a look. Of course he said that he won't tell me if he got it or anything until he gets back just to keep me in suspense. My friend is an rear end in a top hat. |

SniperWoreConverse posted:So I have a mead update if you'd care to hear about it I made mead once and it wasn't my favorite beverage either. I hung out with this one guy at a tiny brewery once who was the owner's dad so he got to play around a bit and he was into mead hardcore and he was of the opinion that mead needs to age for at least a year and flavoring it with fruit is important because otherwise it tastes bad. |

I love popping corks It's not that scary just keep you hand over it Or don't if you want to see how far it'll shoot (outdoors recommended) |

my cork popping tip is to use your shirt to cover the bottle while popping it's less scary than your hand |

if there is a cage on it, leave it after doing 5 turns of 'knot', and just twist the cork off |

I watched the ranch which is a funny Netflix show with Ashton Goocher and Danny Masterson (Hyde and Kelso from that 70s show) and the loving Marlboro man in a funny show. They drink Jim beam. I like Jim beam so I bought some Jim beam and now I'm drinking Jim beam |

also wanna say that homebrewing good belgian ales is pretty easy with stovetop extract/grain recipes and good liquid yeast. belgian yeast strains still make good flavors at warmer temps than english or american strains. I've had success with wits and dubbels in my house with the thermostat at 78. white labs has a good chart that even describes what flavors/aromas come out in their belgian strains at diff temps strong ones do need a lot of time to mature, but you can knock out a decent wit or table beer in 6-7 weeks. less if you use corny kegs |

My friends and i made meade once and after 6 months it was bad so we thought it was a failure and left it forgotten in a closet until one day there was no booze left in the house and we wanted some so we sought the meade out of desperation and holy crap it had gotten good over its additional year of solitude |

Luvcow posted:so just for shits and giggles how hard would it be to brew a natural light or other type cheap beer? lol my friends tried to prank me once by brewing a bud light clone in secret, they said it was the grossest looking wort ever and the main ingredient was "rice syrup solids" They wanted to prank me good because i was always saying that homebrewing is so easy to at least make half decent beer, any home brewed beer was good, i would say, and they wanted to trick me into drinking one that was bad. The joke ended up being on them because much to their dismay it actually tasted way better than actual bud light |
