Title: Beer Connoisseurs
Post by: I_have_purplewood on April 22, 2010, 04:17:34 PM
Just started drinking a stout brewed by Goose Island.  Bourbon County Stout to be exact.  It is Delicious.  It's beer and bourbon mixed together people.  It also has 13% alcohol but is an ass kicker on the calories.  475 is a ton but I'm not a lard ass so it doesn't bother me.  :drink: (ftp://:drink:)

Might go well with the slop that the wierdrobert clan has been cooking..

Calories aren't a big deal with real beers like that.  They aren't chugging/bonging/ponging beers.  Save the pisswater american beer for that.  There is an actual enjoyment factor that goes with high-end beers that just doesn't exist with regular horse piss.

You can get the giant or it comes in a 4 pack (12 oz).  Cire is right, $19 for a four pack.  Worth it though.

I live in Topeka and it's barely worth the drive.  They have some decent brews but overall nothing great imo. 

My suggestion, go to Northstar steakhouse. They are owned by blind tiger so they have a bunch of their brews on tap, and much better food.

I like the Buffalo Sweat, but I can only have about two before I'm full for the night. The IPA is my favorite from Tallgrass. Pretty inconsistent, but everyone who I've talked to that likes pales has enjoyed it. At least, until this board.....

Hey now, Natty Lite has a purpose in life.  It's the beer that gets you through high school and/or college.  Then when you grow up it's the beer that's nice to down a couple of them real quick to cool off after you've mowed your yard or something.

I've tried a lot of them.  The summer before last I lived right by probably the greatest liquor store in the world.(Global Wine & Spirits:World of Beers on 37th and Woodlawn in ITC), they had singles of over 1000 brews and I probably tried half of them over the 1.5 years I lived there.  Odell is still IMO the highest quality IPA out there, as far as regular beers go.  I'm not talking like Double-Wide or anything.  I like IPA's but I'm not going to session with them.

Just stopped by there a couple hours ago because of this thread.  Got these six:

Also bitterly disappointed that not one f_cking place in KC had my "go to" Yuengling . . . in fact, most of the dumbasses had never even heard of it.

Albeit a certain elite poster on this board and I did enjoy a beer at lunch, which was much like a Stella, but it came from Blvd. as I recall.

If you truly want to spend more money and be assured you're actually getting a better tasting product, aim towards the various higher end whiskeys, bourbons and vodkas et. al.

So you are pissed that Yuengling isn't distributed in Missouri or Kansas?  It's not like we don't have comparable brewing companies that distribute here.

It's true, some beer you spend more money on aren't worth it, but i've discovered many a brew that are.  I assume that is the same case with liquor.

If you find a style of beer you like it's pretty easy to find a quality beer.  It's not like stores only carry local brews, too.  Many of my favorite beers are brewed in New York, but are still carried here because they have a large enough distribution chain.

Do you remember any of the one's you tried that "taste like ass?"

Also, disagree w/ you. 1 week is plenty of time.

New Belgium Ranger IPA

Just picked some up last week, and it is delicious.
better than mighty arrow, worse?  is it too hoppy?  i'm sick of beers guys throwing 500 pounds of hops in a beer and saying it tastes good. no, it doesn't taste good, it tastes like hops.

look who came down from his tower!  :pbj:
it's friday bro!

i like to have a couple of Del Tremens too.  i convinced pete and trim to try it at our BlankBurgerPAK and pete did not like, trim did not like.  i got to drink Pete's beer for him.  lewser.

Del Tremens is fabulous.  Pricey thou.  I think there are better belgian ales out there.

Also, try the Delirium de Noël when you have a chance.
Have you tried the Del Nocturnum? I like it even better than the Tremens.

Nocturnum is pretty good, probably a bit easier to drink than Tremens.  to me it seems more full bodied and less like alcoholic death juice (sorry for the poor choice for a descriptor, I just got back from vegas) than DT.


and JFC dax, it takes 2 minutes in any bar or liquor store in KC to realize it's a Boulevard Beer town and they are making so many different seasonals and special brews right now it's impossible not to find one to your liking... 

finally, while i enjoy Yuengling because it is cheap, i only enjoy it because it is cheap.

Who said I didn't find a Blvd I didn't like??   Where did I say that Yeungling wasn't cheap?  It is the "go to" beer, as in when I feel like drinking a significant amount but not spending all that much money.  To that end it is a superior domestic beer.

that's really a terrible comparo because denver has arguably the largest base of local brews in the entire nation vs. a kc market that has one, and that's boulevard.

Nah, KC has lot more to offer than just Boulevard.  (Not as many as Denver, but more than just one.)  75th and 23rd street breweries, Freestate, Prison Brews, McCoys, etc.  There are at least 18 breweries/brew pubs in the KC metro area.  People tend to think that other towns offer sooo much more than what is available locally because of the added allure of foreign locations.

The fact that you can't just walk into any local liquor store and find these beers in fact makes it more difficult to navigate the beer scene in KC.  To get the really good local stuff, you have to locate them and drive around town to actually drink them on site.  Any large liquor store will offer a huge selection of beers, but finding the local, often hidden gems is where it's really at.

so there you have it, one KC brew pub that doesn't bottle and isn't sold outside of its ownership group, and Boulevard, which is found in every store in KC.  yup, the KC "brew scene" is alive and well.  it's smoking heavier than an adelscot.

It's not bad.  It's just one of their worst.

Try Bob's 47, Lunar Ale, Bully Porter, Dry Stout and Irish Ale - I believe all of those are seasonal except for the Bully Porter and Dry Stout.

However, those are nothing compared to the Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale or Saison-Bret.  Actually, anything in their "Smokestack Series" are above average/great beers.

That is one of their worst beers, too.  Not surprising, CNS Casey.

 :jerk:

If their wheat is bad, I need some suggestions on what to try.  Evidently I am missing out. 
It's not bad.  It's just one of their worst.

Try Bob's 47, Lunar Ale, Bully Porter, Dry Stout and Irish Ale - I believe all of those are seasonal except for the Bully Porter and Dry Stout.

However, those are nothing compared to the Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale or Saison-Bret.  Actually, anything in their "Smokestack Series" are above average/great beers.

We have diff tastes.  I have had all those.  I don't mind them, but they taste like the kit-made beer my bro makes.  Nothing special.

Their wheat is somewhat unique as far as wheats go, imo.

Prolly just an individual's taste diff.
Naw, I just think you are a dumbass.  Sorry bro.

I'm guessing Piss doesn't know what a brewpub is.  And, have fun with your 3 month old Colorado beer, I'll enjoy my locally produced Rock Island Red.  
Yup, never been to a brew pub before.  Never spent days walking the Denver Convention Center at the Great American Beer Festival and meeting with and drinking the thousands of breweries available there.  Never sat down with Michael Jackson to discuss beer either, nor Jim Koch.  Never shared a cigar with Pete Slosberg and talked about the development of his brewery.  I have no rough ridin' idea what beer is and I certainly didn't finish the Barley Brewhouse Mug Club in 3 weeks.  Dumbass.

Blue moon is branded as a witbier but doesn't even use gruit, just flavoring agents.  It may well have at one time, but it doesn't now.  Even so, witbiers and hefeweizens are very similar anyway.  I guess, if I ever actually drank them, I would remember which type blue moon was.  Enjoy your orange slice!!!

Boulevard released a new Chocolate Smokestack yesterday and the whole city is sold out already, except for 5 bottles still sitting at Grand Slam Liquor on 6th street (which they conveniently upped the price on due to demand)

i was just in colorado.  cans seem to be getting trendy.

From the Tallgrass guy: (http://www.tallgrassbeer.com/canifesto.html)

Quote
Ask a Midwestern craft beer drinker what they think of craft beer in a can and more often than not you will hear, "Bottled beer tastes better.” I thought the same thing for a long time, but in recent years I’ve experienced some great-tasting canned craft beer from other parts of the country. I didn’t think much more about it, until a phone call last fall that got me to do a little research on the subject.

The call was from a Tallgrass drinker in western Kansas. He had about 20 empty cases of IPA bottles and boxes stacked in his garage. I guess he really likes it. He wanted to return the boxes for us to reuse, but since he was so far away, picking them up was not an option. I asked him to recycle the glass and cardboard, but he did not have a local recycler. It would all have to go to the local landfill. This seemed like a huge waste, but what could we do? As a recovering environmental geologist, I still love to solve problems, so I thought about this one.

After a little research, I found out that bottles with paper boxes are just about the most wasteful, energy intensive, and hard-to-recycle things that can hold beer. On top of that, they are not even the best choice for the quality of the beer!

It turns out that the humble aluminum can is the best choice for a whole lot of reasons. Cans are better for the beer. Cans seal better than bottles and totally block sunlight, which keeps our beer tasting fresher, longer. Cans are more fun. You can take cans to the pool, concerts, lakes, stadiums, hot tubs, golf courses, and anywhere else you can’t take glass. Last, but not least, the aluminum can is WAY better for the environment than bottles.

Cans are 12x lighter than glass, which means it takes less energy to ship the same amount of beer. But the biggest advantage is how easy it is to recycle cans. A recycled aluminum can will be made into another can and back on the shelf in about 60 days. Recycling is an easy, efficient thing for can manufacturers to do. 50% of all cans are now recycled and that is expected to increase in the future.

After learning all of this, I have decided to change Tallgrass packaging from bottles to really cool cans that hold 1 full pint of beer. Think of them as little recyclable kegs that can fit in a backpack. Go ahead and enjoy Tallgrass with your friends. Drink assured that we will always walk the walk when it comes to doing the right thing, for our beer, our beer drinkers, and our little corner of the planet.

beer people, please recommend a bitterish lager that tastes good.  don't care where it is made.  should be cheap, or at least not more expensive than other beer and available in mhk liquor stores.

i don't really know beer words, but the beer i'm thinking of makes me think i'd like to call it "crisp".  seems like maybe it has more bubbles than some beers, but i dunno.

Anchor Steam, pretty "bubbly", but not all that bitter, not sure on the IBU's bro.  It's not terribly expensive and should be available in most MHK liquor stores.

i'll look at the watney's and anchor steam.

i'm looking for a spanish style beer, if that helps.  they mostly all taste really similar, but san miguel, alhambra and mahou are some brands.  i think the bitterness is more important than the bubbliness.


the high alc. % belgian one is not really what i'm interested in.

Meh. Tastes like a lager. Wouldn't call it super bubbly, but definitely crisp.

However, I missed the bitter lager, so I retract my suggestion.

i don't think spanish beer has much hop/crispyness fwiw, and it's very hard to find what you're looking for.

anchor makes 3 main beers, their steam beer, their liberty, and their porter.  i agree w/ saul that you're most describing the steam beer but it's not a lager (lager yeast in ale tanks).  the liberty that jt is talking about is an ale and doesn't meet your lager req'o.

just thought about a newer one on the market- think it might fit.  you might try the seasonal sam adams noble pils

Yeah, it's not a lager but it definitely hits his flavor profile

"Carbonation is produced by an entirely natural process called "bunging," which produces champagne-like bubbles. Dry-hopping (adding fresh hops to the brew during aging), imparts a unique aroma to the ale. It is a process rarely used in this country" today."

Stopped by Gomer's Liquor in Parkville, MO the other day. Not only did they carry my personal favorite Tommyknocker brand  in stock, they had a bar thing set up where you could try a run of a half-dozen different beers.  That day they had a couple of different kinds of Shiner, some Blue Moon spring blend, a couple of Russian beers (very good) and one I don't remember.  In all, I got the equivalent of at least a free full bottle of beer.  Looks like its at least a semi-regular thing, since they've got a bar-type thing set up.

So I just got my hands on a bottle of the Boulevard chocolate ale. According to local liquor store owners (manhattan).. only 4 cases were delivered to manhattan at 10 bottles per case, crazy..

Didn't even know much about it, but he said he had 9 of them and was only allowing 1 per customer. Saw online they are going for 30+ dollars, insane! Anybody else try it? In case it sucks I will sell it while the demand is high.

Anyone else tried the new Tallgrass summer seasonal Halcyon Wheat? Pretty good. Much better than Tallgrass Wheat which was way gross.

beer people, please recommend a bitterish lager that tastes good.  don't care where it is made.  should be cheap, or at least not more expensive than other beer and available in mhk liquor stores.

i don't really know beer words, but the beer i'm thinking of makes me think i'd like to call it "crisp".  seems like maybe it has more bubbles than some beers, but i dunno.

tia, btw.

Does Samuel have anything bad?  My neighbor bought me a 4 pack of Golden Draak Ale for my birthday.  It is incredible.  Very fruity, but not the citrusy type of fruity. This reminded me of dark, red, sweet fruit like a plum.  Not much of a hop flavor since this is a belgian ale and it has a sweet taste to it.  Also doesn't hurt that it's 10.5% alcohol.  I'd highly recommend but I bet it isn't the cheapest.

New Belgium Ranger IPA

Just picked some up last week, and it is delicious.
better than mighty arrow, worse?  is it too hoppy?  i'm sick of beers guys throwing 500 pounds of hops in a beer and saying it tastes good. no, it doesn't taste good, it tastes like hops.
It's hoppier than MA, but not too hoppy.  Not as hoppy as the ska brewing ipa. :)

yeah, hops alone aren't good enough for me and those smokey beers almost make me gag. that's the only kind of beer that i just can't drink. fav beers are the citrus kind of ipa's. the odells ipa is amazing. just incredible.

Agree.  O'Dell is my fave IPA by a good margin.  Also like the elephant on the bottle.

Depends on which Guinness you are talking about.  Draught or the crap with the little balls in it?  Yeah, that stuff sucks.  Guinness Extra Stout with the cream label?  That stuff is world class.

Is there a beer on earth better than a Miller High Life? Yes, definitely. But is there a beer on earth better than a Miller High Life after a long afternoon working in the yard on a hot summer day? Probably.

If you like Pilsner style beers (Miller Lite is one) then I invite you to try...

I hadn't tried anything new from New Belgium in a couple of years, but decided to give this stuff a shot a few weeks ago.  I think I found my new "go to" beer for the summer.  You won't be disappointed. 

Drink it from one of these.  (https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fshoptherapy.pronto.com%2Ffiles%2F2010%2F05%2Fpilsner.jpg&hash=fca7578af848e2771ddca242afa16684d7410824)

Here is some reviews from beeradvocate.com http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/192/933

Love the Blue Paddle.  That, Supper Club, or Blvd Pilsner have been my, "I'm probably going to drink at least six tonight" beers.

Don't, it's garbage.

Why don't jew (see what I did there?) go talk about computers some more and leave the beer talk to the men.  And that beer is basically exactly what he described.
If he had described kraut pisswater that tastes like ass yeah I could see how you could draw that connection.

Fell for this as a country rube new to the city when I moved to DC. Wife and I ate at an Italian place called Coppi's (do recommend btw) and they sold us this Rombauer bottle of Zinfandel for $40 and we were all "omg this wine is amazing!" Then we tried a $10 bottle of Zinfandel.

Hell, wine connoisseurs are so good they can tell the difference between two bottles of the same wine. In one experiment, wine experts were given two bottles of the same wine, only one was labeled a "vin de table" (France's version of "Night Train") and one was labeled a "grand cru" (top-rated vineyard since 1855). Want to guess what happened?

According to the article: "Whereas the tasters found the wine from the first bottle 'simple,' 'unbalanced,' and 'weak,' they found the wine from the second 'complex,' 'balanced,' and 'full.'" Not only were their tasting skills put to shame, it didn't even occur to them that nobody buys a $40-plus bottle of wine for a university experiment.

in my mind i want to pretend kim carnes is bonging all these beers and then i chuckle and take a sip out of my beer and then laugh a little more because it would be so damned awesome to have some anti-snob pounding beers and spot-rating them.  weird mental image but it makes me happy.  please do more of these

If you don't like IPA, you shouldn't be posting in a beer connoisseur thread.

Go start a "Best Light Beers" thread or "First Non-Virgin Daiquiri" thread or "Rimming Doods" thread.

Look at it this way, if you haven't gone to Oktoberfest by the time you spend eighty large at some liquor store, you probably don't really want to go anyway.

IPA's don't have to be redic strong. Try a Ranger IPA from new belgium if you "don't like IPA's" then get back to me.
Title: Re: Beer Connoisseurs
Post by: jtksu on August 13, 2011, 03:48:53 PM
Yeah, start with a low IBU IPA and, when your taste buds grow up, move on to some hoppier stuff.  Many people end up really enjoying the style more than any others.

Boulevard Pale Ale was what got me started. There's hardly any hops in there, I don't know how they even call it a Pale Ale. Then I moved on up.

I still don't like the IPA's where the brewer was clearly like "ZOMG, LOOK AT HOW MUCH HOPS WE CAN GET IN HERE!!" or any beer that boasts about how much hops it has. But a good IPA can beat any other beer on any day.

The Ranger IPA (new belgium) kinda sucks.  The Boulevard Single Wide is good, but I know most of you fairies poopoo on anything boulevard so forget I said it.

Good IPA's:
Sierra Nevada has a good one.  The Modus one is good too.  Hop Czar will knock you flat on your ass.  I had one a couple weeks ago from CO called Manharanha or something, it was the tits.  I also like the Schlafly APA (not sure how it's different that IPA other than the I is an A).  I've also heard excellent things about the Stone Brewery, but can't find that crap anywhere.  Don't ever buy anything from the Breckenridge Brewery  :frown:.


Anyone that doesn't like Boddington's is a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) that doesn't actually like beer.  Wheat Beers are for women and so are fruit beers.  


Fantastic Beer that everyone would love:  Left Hand Brewery - Milk Stout


Best Beers that are cheap and good to have a around the house (I call these table beers) - Boule Pale Ale, New Belgium 1554, anything Sam Adams, Mich Amber Bock (if you're broke)

It's just individual taste. am I a huge pussy because I don't like the taste bourbon and tequila? doubtful. they just don't taste good to me. is clams an eight foot tall science experiment gone wrong because he doesn't like the taste of cilantro? probably. but that's a whole dif thread for a dif time and place.

I have. It's a belgian style ale on steroids. Very big. VERY big. Almost too much for me. Nice flavor overall, but not my favorite.

Hey Saul~
Covered Golden Draak on page 12;

"Does Samuel have anything bad?  My neighbor bought me a 4 pack of Golden Draak Ale for my birthday.  It is incredible.  Very fruity, but not the citrusy type of fruity. This reminded me of dark, red, sweet fruit like a plum.  Not much of a hop flavor since this is a belgian ale and it has a sweet taste to it.  Also doesn't hurt that it's 10.5% alcohol.  I'd highly recommend but I bet it isn't the cheapest. "

Also, had a Bornem Triple Abbey Ale last night.  It was also very good.  9%abv.

my favorite was the breckenridge christmas ale.  these two bottles below, i drank a lot of them (the '94 on the left and the '95 on the right).  we brought back bottles of the 94 with us from denver, they weren't selling it in KS yet.  it wasn't until 12th St Pub opened that Breckenridge was sold in KS, we put it on tap with uber elite ceramic lightning bolt tap handles.  as you can see, they used to only sell it in elite 750ml bottles

The Boulevard smokehouse series Collaboration #2 (if you can still find it) is also a Belgian IPA. They may have made it a seasonal though, so not sure if their is any left in town.   :dunno:

Also, the Green Flash "Le Freak" is another that we have at Nespor's:
 
Quote
Beer Advocate: This Belgian Style IPA is an "out of the box" convergence of beer styles where American Imperial IPA meets Belgian Trippel.
From what I've heard, it's a very  different take on the style, but a Belgian IPA nonetheless.

A little late but I tried a couple of winter seasonals over the last several weeks and both were fantastic;

Hibernation Ale by Great Divide Brewing Co   &  Winter Solstice Seasonal Ale by Anderson Valley.  If you can still find I highly recommend.

Also had The Beast by Avery Brewing.  $7 for a 12 oz.  but 16.83 ABV.  and the taste was crazy.   Probablly won't buy again but if you have money to burn it would be worth a try. 

Have Fade to Black to try this weekend.  Thanks Chingon. :drink: (ftp://:drink:)

Oh, only newbs order the "Premier". Red? Might as well be Yuengling. Did you know it's made by monks? It's ethical. My cousin has a hook up and buys bottle of the exclusive Doree (it's a patersbier). It's much more authentic.

Yes and no.

Is it a big deal? Yes, it's extremely popular and some jerks are selling it for hundreds of dollars online cause you can't find it in the liquor stores unless you're buddies with an owner.

Should it be a big deal? No, Boulevard purposely shorted KC (sent most of the production to the Greater Boston area) so that there was an insane demand, hyped it as if it's liquid gold. It's ok beer, but not worthy of the hype.

Here's an example of someone who I don't think I could enjoy having a beer with:

Quote
750ml bottle from Wine and Cheese Place poured into a Chimay Trappist glass. Pours a cloudy golden orange with a minimal bit of white head. Aroma of wheat and coriander with a little sugar. Taste is medium sweet. Loads of Belgian sugar and coriander with some nice citrus flavor. Full bodied with a thick and creamy texture. Lively carbonation and a long sweet finish. Overall, this is great. Wish I would have bought a second bottle to age.

It's comparable to the Boulevard Pale Ale. Not necessarily the flavor, but it's light and drinkable, especially for a pale.

Hey, SD, the Omaha beerfest was pretty cool.  I'd highly recommend it.  We went on Saturday afternoon so the weather was pretty awesome.  There was  good mix of breweries that I've heard of like Rogue, Ska, Boulder, etc. to the obscure Ma and Pa Brewers from 30 miles southwest of Lincoln.  The variety and selection was very good.  The only somewhat frustrating thing about the event were the beer dorks who would take forever choosing a beer and would hold up the line, but, in general, lines moved pretty fast.  They also had various beer classes, brewing, tasting, styles, etc., taught by the brewers running throughout the fest that I will look into attending if when I go back. 

On a side note, we managed to stumble across the street to Liv Lounge (Aksarben Village) afterwards for a couple pretty awesome Moscow Mules.

... the rest of the evening was a blur.

Yup.  That's it.  It was different if I remember correctly.

Also, lived in Omaha for 3 years and had no idea the craft brewing community was as active as it is in the Omaha and Lincoln area.  You are truly blessed SD.

Yeah, I think they use too green of hops on occasion.  sometimes tastes like I'm drinking grass clippings.  It varies a lot from time to time which I'm sure is pretty standard for such a small brewery.

I swear every hipster at the show last night was drinking pounders of Black Star:

And I'd never heard of it before. :dunno:

Mich, I dabbled in some New Holland stuff last evening.  I've been to their brewery in Holland, Mich
probably 3 different times, you been?  Really like that town.



I have been to their brewery before. Good food and I love their pumpkin beer. Holland is a nice place if you're dutch.

Not Dutch.  But also had their pumpkin beer one time I was there in the fall, in one of those giant boots!   :D. Have not made it to the tulip festival though

fun fact: holland schools cancel school for the tulip time parade.

also I miss Bell's and Founders. :frown:

Anyone had Sierra Nevada's Summerfest? Wanted to try it, but Costco sold in 24 packs and did not want 24 if it turned out to be crap.

Do you like budweiser? If you like budweiser, you'll LOVE Sierra Nevada's Summerfest!

But seriously, I was very disappointed in this year's summer seasonals.  Summerfest blows, Blue Moon Honey Wheat blows, Somersault is meh.

I really did enjoy Freestate's Stormchaser IPA though.  Fantastic beer, even better artwork.

I didn't like many of the summers this year either.  Sam is always the best.  I had the exact same thoughts on Stormchaser.  Surprisingly good and a bad ass label.

Oktoberfest is my favorite Sam Adams beer. I enjoy SA more than most people, their spring was just ok but I enjoy the summer ale.

the hyvee by my house only got them in the packages with the big mug included last year.  but, you could just open them and buy the can for about 1/3 of the price.  they ended up with roughly a billion of those mugs that nobody wanted to pay for to get to the delicious festival paulaner cans.

the first thing i do after getting home from a long day working the soybeans is grab my 12 pack of suds and start pounding them.  makes me feel great.  then i'll do some chores around my place and watch a little bit of the tube. 

honestly, it is rare that i'll not chug a 12 pack before dinner.  i don't even have a beer belly, i think it's because i work out so much.  brew in, brew out, that's my motto.  the secret is just to keep pissing.  for every brew you chug, you should do a quick mental test of your bladder to see if you need to release any suds back into the environment.  if you don't, then proceed to chug the next brew.  repeat as necessary but i will warn you, i've seen many a man not be able to maintain a good chuggin pace for much longer than a 30-60 minute time.  if you have any beer questions then i am your man.

Sam Adams just tries to make a very generic flavor for whatever brew they're doing. Very generic Boston Lager, middle-of-the-road Oktoberfest, etc. They're just trying not to offend anyone. Not a good or bad thing. I do agree that their Winter Lager would probably make my top 10 list though.

It is a margarita

it has bud light lime in it, so i'd say that makes it as much of a beer as any other beer

Your dumbest quote on this site thus far. It's a margarita flavored malt beverage that is 324 calories per 8 oz can. There is nothing "bud light" about it.

Well, it would be a dumb quote if it wasn't an incredibly funny joke that I made.  I've not had bud light lime or lime-a-rita.

it is a little sweet and pretty dry. but, it's a french style saison so it's supposed to be dry.

if you're not into that sorta thing then I wouldn't recommend it.

Nice. Thanks for the suggestion

eff!!!!
I can't remember what I all tried tonight. (fanning, this was going to be my fanningbrag post and I have screwed it up)
Rimsbargen or something like that- a VERY SWEET red beer that was really great if you are into that kind of thing (I hated it)
Some sort of white apple cider beer (would be really great if it was served on ice on a hot day (that is what the irish par tender owner told me))
Carlsberg- a heavy blance beer. This was very good and 3 of these will get you going, I guarantee it!

(end of very poor memory fanningbrag post)

Never had Lonestar. Like it has a similar "skunkyness" smell and taste that pbr has but a little bit stronger "good" taste. I seriously should post this on beer advocate.

said it doesn't float at all.  just mixes right away.  I was all wtf? and he said the brewers actually recommend it.  said he tried it and it was the best beer he'd ever had.  I'm still  :dubious: but I'll probably give it a shot this weekend.

Also, the Official Liquor Store of goEMAW.com is Nespor's.

I heard that the employees there tell customers that they drink douchey beer right to their face. No thanks, not worth the PI'ing.

Were they in fact drinking douchey beers?

Bud Light limes

What, were they out of Miller Chill?

A friend brought me some Boulevard Pale and I forgot how much I enjoyed it. It's a great summery beer for people who enjoy the hops.

I agree michcat, it's my favorite!

80 acre is decent. A nice refreshing beer, but it doesn't have a solid identity. Not hoppy enough for a pale ale, not smooth enough for a wheat.

Which pumpkin beers?  I wasn't a fan of the buffalo bill's pumpkin ale, but surprisingly enjoyed the shocktop pumpkin wheat.

Also, Modus is fantastic.

Bud lt lime is one of the douchiest beers known to man.  If you're drinking with me and you order a BLM or an Ultra, expect some serious ass PI, IRL.  Thats right, and I'll say it right to your fat face, right in front of your fat little GF.  A buddy once sent back a Sad Adams Summer (not a great beer, but not terrible either) and ordered an Ultra instead.  rough ridin' embarrassed the crap out of me.

I tried the Saranac pumpkin ale, Saranac octoberfest, and the Modus Hoperandi tonight, my first time for all three.

The pumpkin Ale left a lot to be desired, it had almost no pumpkin taste that I was expecting. Very Clovey still a decent drink but not what I was expecting.

I can't complain about the octoberfest, very smooth, tasty, but nothing special.

The Modus Hoperandi, So bitter it should come with a warning label. I really liked it, but I don't think it's for everyone, my brother took a sip of it and thought it was horrible.

I still have a Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale, a Boulder Beer Hazed an Infused, and an Odell 90 Shilling Ale to try tomorow.

Not to be douchey, but there are a lot of beers that are significantly more bitter than Modus Hoperandi. Not so much in the midwest, but on the coasts. Just a heads up.

A lot of people go crazy thinking that more hops equals better beer. Joke ends up being on them when they realize that the level of hops maxes out at some point and everyone was just piling in hops to create shitty beers. 120 IBU is around the most humans can taste.  Modus is 68 IBU and is a great beer.

At 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 21, one of only two kegs in the state will be tapped at Topeka's Blackbird Espresso Bar and Bistro, 4025 S.W. 10th Ave., in Fleming Place. Judging from the buzz leading up to this event, hardcore beer lovers might want to make sure they make it out to Blackbird that night. Eighty pours of ass-kicking goodness then the keg runs dry.

Ska has been working on its recipes for at least a year and plans to debut a new one every three months through summer 2013, "when -- assuming the 12/21/12 calamity howlers are wrong -- the cycle will begin again," Thibodeau notes. The other three beers will likely be a peppermint stout, a version of Ska's orange cream stout, and a stout aged in merlot barrels -- but none of those is confirmed.

Oh ya, Trippel is very tasty imo. 

Was the Boulevard bottled on 8/2011? Or is that the "drink by" date?  If it was bottled a year ago, it should still be (mostly) good I think, assuming it hasn't been exposed to direct sunlight and/or drastic temperature changes.

forgot to give my review.

rough ridin' beastly mix.  the yeti is 75 ibu's and the hercules is 85 ibu's.  they combine into a flavorful hoppy explosion.  I'm not the biggest fan of really hoppy beers, so I won't be drinking them again, but I can appreciate that people that like hops would probably like this mix.  not for the faint of heart.

Yeah, Rogue does some pretty weird crap, but usually pretty good.  This one was horrible.

I'll have to give it a try.  I'm usually not all that into winter beers so maybe I'll actually like this one.  I did like Summit's winter last year, not sure if they use the same recipe every year or not...

I never have any idea what to get and just ask the bartender. It's great how they take orders - you open a tab, order, and they give you a number and find you when it's ready. The servers can then take your order from either bar on the same table or you can walk up to either bar and they'll take your order and put it on your tab. Seems simple but it's really pretty awesome.

Looks like you went to the SKA brewery?

yeah. stopped by to taste the mole stout on tap (incredible). picked up a growler of Hoperation Ivy which was extremely smooth, fragrant, and had several fruity notes riddled throughout the taste. strange thing about the Hoperation Ivy, the lady and I drank almost the entire growler that night and didn't feel much of the effects... for a Wet Hopped IPA I expected to be on the floor after 5 or so glasses. Maybe this batch was weak in alcohol content? I also had a chance to taste one of their new seasonal's (can't remember the name) but it was a stout brewed with cab. sauv. grapes. played like a strange barley wine, but without all the bite. they said they will start canning it after it gets dialed in. will be going back tomorrow for trivia and report back on any other seasonal's i end up tasting.

Has anyone mentioned Coors Light yet? I'm working on a 30 pack right now. Halfday at work and figured I would take advantage by hitting the sauna and hot tub at the condo complex and am now kicking back in front of the boards.

PBR isn't bad either. The grill/bar two blocks down the street sells $1 pints during happy hour. Good deal.

Too many beer snobs in this thread.

I'm not mad at you bro. Do you.

No snob here dude.  Just because I like to enjoy various brews doesn't mean I don't knock back a sixer of Boulevard Pilsner or Schlitz on a hot summer day, or crush a case of Yellow Bellies with the boy back home.  Hell, Coors original is a staple in my fridge.

Although I like several beers better, PBR isn't too bad, especially served ice cold. Inexpensive, too. Good, cheap beer...great combination.  :lick:

I used to swear by Meyers but that time has come and gone. They used to be the only place in town to get "real" craft beer but they don't have enough space to compete with Devlins or Fleming place now a days.

The beer could be the only reason, I suspect. For example, years ago, I went to a "school" Coors put on when I was an Aggieville bartender. They thought it was important that we know their product, etc. Had to go to the old Coors distributorship in Junction City for the "school." All we did was get drunk as eff on the free beer they gave us, and learned virtually zip about Coors that we didn't already know. Point? Beer was the only reason I went to Junction City.

I know what I'm doing tonight!

I did it dinner tonight. Let me tell you what, a few of those goes a long way. At $5.25 a glass it is probably one of the cheaper Friday night drunks in Aggieville. Highly recommended by 8mp.

If you guys dig that, I had Left Hand's milk stout at OC last week.  It was delicious but too sweet/chocolatey for my taste.  Honestly, it tasted like a car bomb, which I love, so I'll probably have another some time.

No,  it's Sam Adams.   They insist on pushing out their season also earlier and earlier,  forcing the other breweries to follow suit.  For example,  New Belgium produced a fall seasonal that was closer to an ipa than an Octoberfest last year because they had to put something out but didn't want to produce a fall beer to be distributed in early August.

Distributors wouldn't be sending them out early if the breweries weren't sending them to the distributors early.  I'm fairly certain of that.

thoughts? the use of the malbec grapes is definitely interesting. i tried a batch when they were working on it where they used cab sauv. grapes. malbec is definitely a better choice, but it still has a hint of that barley wine taste. overall pretty good, but still doesn't match up to their mole, imo.

American adjunct lager is the correct term. It's really difficult to discern a difference between any of them in a blind taste test.

I've done it successfully with Bud Lt, Coors Lt, and Miller Lt.  Key for me is to isolate Coors Lt first (more distinctive to me for whatever reason), then between the remaining two the Bud Lt tastes a bit "sweeter" to me.  Much harder for me to name just a single one if I don't have the others to compare it to.

Bud Light is definitely the sweetest. I've always thought that but thought it was stupid so never mentioned it. I think Miller Light is a little heavier than Coors Light. Coors Light is definitely the wateriest of the three.

Miller lt has a distinctly different taste to me,  Bud lt and Coors lt are fairly similar.   Probably because one is a pilsner and two are lagers...

I liked it. The use of grapes was an interesting idea.  I think the grapes did impart a bit of sweetness while thinning the body of the beer.  Other than that, the grape is pretty well hidden.  Standard stout characteristics in the nose and taste with hints of cocoa, coffee, vanilla, and a bit of oak.  Really a pretty good beer, but I will concede the mole was better.

I liked the Chocolate ale a lot, as a novelty one time type of thing.  I wouldn't very much of it.  However, last year I bought a bottle and it had gone bad.  They came out and acknowledged that a batch or whatever was bad, and mine was one in that group.

I haven't had the coffee ale.  Is it out in liquor stores, or just on tap?

like a dumbass, i didn't realize the alcohol % was so low on the super low cal beers. i thought they just magically lowered the calorie content while keeping the same amount of alcohol.

Oasis is by far my least favorite of all Tallgrass beers.

I would replace the Oasis in this photo with their new Ethos IPA and be completely happy with any of the choices.

Oasis is the only Tallgrass I like. Drinking one now.

Ethos is very good. Mostly because I think I prefer the newer "west coast style" IPAs to the traditional style but whatevs.

I only had oasis at a tasting, but the 2 ounces or so I got were not my favorite. Very bitter (yes I know that's the point of an ESB)

Didn't look at calories, but it had one of the lowest carb contents on the lists, and obviously pretty high alcohol content. So this pretty much just confirmed what I already knew: Bud Light Platinum is the best beer to drink in any situation.

I liked the Chocolate ale a lot, as a novelty one time type of thing.  I wouldn't very much of it.  However, last year I bought a bottle and it had gone bad.  They came out and acknowledged that a batch or whatever was bad, and mine was one in that group.

I haven't had the coffee ale.  Is it out in liquor stores, or just on tap?

I dunno. Trying to find it. Supposed to be out as part of the smokestack series by now.

I don't think it'd hurt to try it, but my assumption is that it's like the regularly capped beers from Boulevard & only has a shelf life of 2-3 months.

I'll let you know if we can get anymore and hold it for you.

Rampant is pretty good though. It's not going to dethrone Myrcenary as my favorite DIPA, but it's by far the cheapest Imperial on the market at 7.99 a sixer, and it's good enough to be a $10 4-pack

The left hand stouts are both really good, especially if you enjoy the sweet flavors. You may want to try Buffalo Sweat Vanilla, it's along the same lines. I like Sierra Nevada's quite a bit, Beamish is an old favorite like Guiness. I enjoyed Schlafly's oatmeal. Honestly, I just go to a liquor store with a nice micro beer selection and try different brands. I usually buy a sixer of something I know I like as well cause I've ran into some stouts I really haven't cared for, same as any other style. I bought some Sam Adams tonight, not sure why I haven't tried their stout yet.


*edit - Sam Adams' Cream Stout is pretty decent. Very smooth.

Inside city limits of Denver Great Divide is your best bet. I wouldn't tour it though I'd just hit the tasting room and grab a pizza from the pizza truck that sits outside it. Breckenridge moved all their brewing ops to Denver as well. Flying Dog actually has a satellite mini brewery and tasting room there that's pretty fun but it has very limited operating hours. All three of those are within a 5 minute walk of each other so I'd just do that. Wynkoop brewpub is also right there as well as Falling Rock Tap House which is kind of like Auntie Maes with like 100 beers on tap.

One of the top 2 craft beer/booze/wine stores in Omaha has great food and you can buy a bottle of wine or beer and they will open it for you and take your order. You can work your way through a six pack over a burger. They also have about 40 wines by the glass. It essentially turns into a restaurant with a 1,000 bottle wine list and every beer that can be distributed to Omaha.

Did you know BLVD is the 19th largest US based brewer by volume? 12th biggest "craft" brewer.

Also learned doing a beer tour that the term "craft" is highly regulated by production figures because you are taxed a lot higher if you leave "craft" level production. Boston Beer will always be the largest "craft" brewer because they go exactly to the production point and quit. There are also a couple other levels below craft that have other regulations. Was pretty interesting.

I've heard of that being kind of big w/ home brewers because it's easier than honey. I think honey is involved.

Did not realize Blvd. was so big. It was the first time I'd seen them out here. I looked it up and they only have smokestack series beers at places here. I was hoping I could get their Pale Ale when it gets warm. :frown:

 There are also weird laws between states. Like Bell's wasn't in Illinois for a long time just because there was a beef w/ a politician or something at some point (what I heard). Founder's couldn't sell Dirty Bastard in Alabama for a while because the name was considered "obscene".

This is our brewed tribute to Arrow, Kim's Aussie/Border Collie mix who ran (literally) New Belgium for 12 years. When she wasn't patrolling the brewery grounds, she was famous for her office visits: She never met a tummy rub she didn't like. Atta girl Arrow.

Seasonal: February, March, April.

It's incredibly well balanced. It's not a coffee flavored beer, it's this perfect hybrid between beer and coffee that gives you just the right amount of both.  A lot of people are weirded out by it because they expected a stout.

I have lots of random craft beers leftover in this house that I am moving out of at the end of the month.  Most of them are very high ABV. This next month of binging could be awesome.

Tonight (so far), Bell's Two Hearted Ale, SN Bigfoot and Myrcynary.

Started the evening with some Tallgrass 8-bit pale ale.  Yum.

Now onto some Schlafly Coffee Stout.  What's not to like?  Coffee, good.  Beer, good.  Coffee stout, yes tickle my rough ridin' toes and drown me in it why don't you!

Listening to a podcast last week, they were saying the the number of breweries in the US was up to like 2200 whereas the number of wineries is more than 8000.  So there is still room in the market.  Which is why we're seeing an explosion of new breweries going up.  Pretty cool time in beer imo.

Last time I pak'd in Omaha with some bro's we went to this place where they serve beer in a giant boot and call it "Das Boot".  Pretty elite beer drinking establishment right? I mean they serve beer in a huge giant boot just like how they do in Germany!


Also free state's copperhead is delicious, also love their winterfest IPA.

Copper Head is awful. It's a pale ale with malt, which you're never supposed to do. It's like making a whiskey coke with gin.

also, they (tallgrass) are getting a lot of their beer on shelves up in the great lakes region and from what i heard they sell either about as much or more of their beer in wisconsin as they do in ks. it's probably pretty smart to at least do a wheat as opposed to a seventh ale. jmo. go cats.

Yeah, the thing that Tallgrass does that pisses some people off is that they take care of places like that first. Like if they only have 8 cases of stouts and some place in Minnesota orders 6 and some place in Manhattan orders 4, they send 6 to Minnesota and 2 to the place in Manhattan. It's a great business strategy and helps them get better known out of state, but it makes some people sad that they don't take care of the locals first.

yeah it wasn't very good.. went into area 51(new for their brew tour) and maybe already discussed its an area where they let you sample in the dark a couple of beers they are working on.. pretty cool one of them was a little bit darker and stronger beer that reminded me of buffalo sweat and I think it was a 9.1% beer

Sam Adams pisses me off,  they're already advertising their Alpine Spring.   It's like 20 degrees out, which clearly calls for a spring seasonal.

It's not them. It's the distributors. Liquor stores are getting spring seasonals in last week and this week and we'll almost assuredly be out by the 2nd week of march.

No,  it's Sam Adams.   They insist on pushing out their season also earlier and earlier,  forcing the other breweries to follow suit.  For example,  New Belgium produced a fall seasonal that was closer to an ipa than an Octoberfest last year because they had to put something out but didn't want to produce a fall beer to be distributed in early August.

just grabbed a 12er of octoberfest and felt kinda like a schmuck as i headed toward the checkout.  my justification was that it was cool out and football games are going on.  still feel like part of the problem though :frown:

Live Oak Liberation.  Talk about wanting to try the local flavor, and then lightly praise the beer, focusing on one specific aspect of its flavor as very good or being deficient.  Be a little condescending if you can.  E.g. "Pretty good.  It's a little over-hopped, but has some real nice malt undertones."  Up your hipster factor by asking what kind of hops are in some random beer they have, then saying "no thanks".

yes, at least for the good brands they have purchased. they move production offsite and put a stop to most of the smaller batch craft and experimental brewing. even people who are fans of the large brands they have purchased have been upset.

zombie monkey is very good imo

dumb zombie fad pandering name tho

but would buy again.
yes very good and deserves better branding imo.

Tallgrass has been trying too hard with their beer names for quite some time. Buffalo Sweat was clever, but names like Velvet Rooster and Zombie Monkey seem like they were just drawn out of a hat.

Why is that the best beers are always those you can't buy where you live? When I'm in Cleveland, I make sure to get something from Fathead, Great Lakes or Thirsty Dog. Those of you still in the MHK area shouldn't take for granted the awesomeness happening at Tallgrass Brewing. I absolutely love their brews. My ATF beer is 8-Bit. Of course, I can't buy it in Kentucky. The closest liquor store that carries it is STL and I do stop for a case or two when traveling through the area. :)

I always go do beeradvocate and search by "places" when travelling to a new city. not a specific beer suggestion obviously but will get you places where good local beer is. make sure to look at how many reviews a place has before assuming it's awesome because of a 5 rating though.

man, lotta good ones out there. I like the stuff that's not overly spiced to the point it's sweet. some stuff like BRRRR, Omeegang's Adoration and Anchor's seasonal are usually too sweet for me but I'll drink them. Love Sammy Smith, Isolation is good, even enjoy Samual Adam's winter lager. kind of pissed that New Belgium did a white IPA for their winter this year. I like white IPAs fine but it's not my choice for a winter. Great Divide Hibernation is really good for a single beer type of evening. Drank 5 of them friday followed by a bunch of other stuff and it probably was a mistake. almost 9%. BOLD FLAVOR, THO.

i looked at a 24 variety pack of sam adams seasonals at costco today.  i was really close to pulling the trigger, but then i read the descriptions and they all had weird spices and crap in them.  they didn't sound good at all.  except the boston lager, which as far as i know is not a seasonal beer.  i would have prolly bought 24 boston lagers for the same price, but they didn't offer that.

while i'm not going to comment about the tot industry back during the civil war era, i will say that the overwhelming amount of tot products available on today's market are gf.


also, my guess is that tot would go best with wheat. like, i'll take the new belgium tator tot wheat please.

Founders Brewing Co. announced today that it is expanding its distribution territory to include greater Kansas City, Kansas, represented by Central States Beverage; Omaha, Nebraska, represented by Premier-Midwest Beverage; and Lincoln, Nebraska, represented by K&Z Distributing. The brewery plans to launch in these three metro areas beginning the week of December 2, 2013.

Kansas City, Omaha and Lincoln residents can expect to find Founders’ year-round and seasonal products, both in bottles and on draft, in the first shipment. Specialty releases will follow the brewery’s release schedule from there.

(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdrinkwiththewench.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2013%2F03%2Forval-beer.jpg&hash=4fa052f2210871af4514e6054977bdbdae1cd04e)

fantastic beer. maybe the best. but, those damn monks only make the one (amazing) beer.  :frown:

They really should expand.  At $5.00 for a 11.2 oz bottle, they've got the capital if they would stop giving away all their profits to charities and stuff.

Do you use one liquor store frequently? If not, start. Get to know the owner and start asking for variety. They will usually accommodate.

No, I'll keep my job with the FD since it only requires 9 or 10 days/month. I'll be able to do both while the business is small, and when it grows I should be able to hire someone that runs the day-to-day stuff. Plan is to open January '15 right now.

kcfd, a brewery/restaurant just opened up in downtown salina, and the brewmaster dudes are firefighters here

haven't tried it yet as it's been packed (can't vouch for quality of food/drink, as the bar is obviously pretty low for something like this in salina.  menu looks promising)

KCFD, how much $$ have you invested in starting up your brewery? I've always been interested in the process of starting a brewery/restaurant

when it's all said and done I'll have approx 50k in equipment plus another 50-60k in costs (rent, insurance, buildout, ingredients, etc...)

so about, 100k. all the "experts" I talked to said it couldn't be done for less than 250. I did have to cut back on a few things, but  I spent on the important things. Opening a brewery is very different than a restaurant. I have no desire to cook and serve food. a lot of people wanted me to open a brewpub, but I shut that down pretty quick.

Title: Re: Beer Connoisseurs
Post by: KCFDcat on December 15, 2013, 09:00:35 PM
yes have checked into the name situ. no conflict with names, since they're No. Coast. but they do have all the good facebook/website/twitter names taken so I'll have to do something like no coast ales or something like that. haven't put a TON of thought into that just yet.

looking at two possible locations: Crossroads by Grinders or West Bottoms. CR would be great b/c more foot traffic and more bars/restaurants. But more $$$. West bottoms is cheap (like $2/sf) and you can get HUGE spaces. but little foot traffic and low visibility. Possible upside with it being the next "cool" place to be. I'm looking at two spaces this week. one of them being the old FD headquarters in the bottoms. so that would be neat.

Food trucks is a great idea! haven't thought of that. will def look into it. thanks guys!

First batch will be in August. All beer brewed from August-December will have to be given away due to a lack of license to sell liquor at that point. so....there's that.

While not a legal concern ASFAIK, the confusion between No and North (since they seem to use No and No. in their marketing) would cause me pause.

You would have to check into the guy in NE and see what his status is though...that might be close enough to cause you heartburn.

I like the WB idea with the old FD building.  Would be grea to get in early and then have the place blow up into the next cool spot to be.  Obviously its only a few weeks a year, but everything surrounding the American Royal and all the stuff they have going on would bring plenty of traffic.  Aren't Saturdays pretty popular down there too? 

Selfishly I would like it to be in NKC because its an easy stop for me and would be cool to have three different spots down there for a little brewery pubcrawl. 

Cant wait for it to get up and going so I can come fill a growler(hopefully with a sweet logo of yours on it)

You are right, West Bottoms is the next "cool" place in KC. Already know a few artist-types that moved in down there. American Royal weekend might be big enough to pay your bills for the year. The dude that owns Genessee Royale sold Happy Gillis so he could focus on GR, so he must see a future in the area.

Man, how good is that one? I've had both the Tremens and the Nocturnum and enjoyed them. Never seen the Noel before.

If you can find it, pick up a couple bottles.  It's fantastic.

You need to. Scotch ales are a _FAN favorite. I just bought some Sam Adams Wee Heavy for Christmas Eve dinner.

Just wanted to throw out an update about No Coast Ales. we have decided to go with the west bottoms location, and will be moving in in February  :pbj:

estimated opening date is still Jan of '15. also, trying to figure out legality issues with tasting parties etc... if I have obtained the brewers license by oct (my goal) then anytime after that is pretty much anything goes as far as beer tastings.

I won't lie, it feels very odd to be talking about this for real, it's been in the works for about two years now.  :excited:

another shameless plug here: if you live in KC and are interested in making beer/learning more about the process check out The Brew Lab in Downtown OP. it's a very cool place and most of the guys there are very knowledgeable. www.brewlabkc.com (http://www.brewlabkc.com)

Had their Yin and Yang Black and Tan combo this weekend.  Hits pretty hard with 10% ABV but was pretty darn good.  The stout was good by itself, the IPA by itself wasn't doing it for me but certainly mixed well.  Going to try it again this week and see if i can get a better pour, they mixed right away on me.

My sister picked mine up at Lukas and she said it was $17.99.  Not terrible, but certainly the most expensive sixer I've ever seen.  No idea how many are left, but they begin selling to the public tomorrow morning if you get there early.

Had it last night at Beer Kitchen. They would certainly have more today if you just wanted to try one. Think it was $6? Pretty sauced by the time I left. I would say it was pretty good but certainly not as good as all the hype and trouble to get it. The hoppy finish lingers more than other strong IPAs was the most memorable part.

True story alert: like 4 years ago my roommate and I were at Classic's getting some booze for the weekend, while we were in there the booze guy walked in with some 8 Chocolate Ale's, my roommate knew they were rare and so we asked the guy working, he said that people from KC had been calling him asking if he had any in stock. the delivery guy left and we decided right then and there that we were going to buy some. bought it and then went to the little apple liquor store(the one across from west loop rays and the new powercat grill) and asked them if they had any of the ale. they laughed in our rough ridin' faces and said "yeah right" i wish because everyone is asking about it. we left with  :D on our faces, i ended up drinking mine but my roommate being the craigslist/ebay stud he is sold his for $75 when we had bought then for like $15. it was ok to drink but i probably wouldnt ever buy it again.

They doubled the batch of chocolate ale this year and I think the excitement has worn off a bit compared to two years ago.  You shouldn't have trouble finding some, but liquor stores might limit to one or two per person.  I'm sad because they are brewing this instead of the Coffee Ale.

Really like Red Chair.  I couldn't really find something new that I was in the mood for, and the mix six at Gomer's was pud city mediocre christmas brews.  I ended up getting a new one from Stone called Matt's Burning Rosids.

Boulevard is a great brewery, and connoisseurs on the coasts and up north will agree.  We really are spoiled in KC with Boulevard.  So to say Boulevard does not make great beer is an opinion that most experts and Brewmasters do not agree with.  Now I will agree with EMAWmeister's comment that the Boulevard beer people crave about in KC is not their best work.  Boulevard was published as #3 in USA Today's top craft beer breweries.  It's all subjective, but it is much better than "Average at Best."

I think KC gets over-excited for Wheat and Chocolate Ale.  80-Acre has been a great add. 

My personal favorites (not in order) are Rye on Rye, Coffee Ale, Saison Brett, Tank 7, and Bourbon Barrel Quad.  Collaboration #2 was very good (better than 3), and I tried their "Nutsack Ale" which is the leftover beer from the Nutcracker spice bags.  Sad that they chose to brew Chocolate Ale over Coffee Ale this year.

same. those are the only two that really came to mind. i think it's mostly because wheat is such an entry beer for the bud/miller/coors crowd. and chocolate seems exotic or something.

Pale Ale is fantastic

Don't care much for any of their other non-smokestacks

Tank 7 is one of the best beers around
Rye on Rye and the Coffee Ale are very very good

There are some other decent smokestacks, but nothing particularly memorable.

Yes, the state owns all of the liquor stores so they charge more and then pound you with taxes.  Also the selection is limited (although better than I expected) so I will run out of beers well before catching up with stevedave on Untappd. And there aren't very many stores to limit access.

Could be.  I feel the same way about super spicy food.  It's like geez, after so much spice it's just uncomfortable and what's the point?  I like a little burn and a little sweat but why should I be gargling a milkshake just to pound out these Buffalo Wild Wings?

Stone: Matt's Burning Rosids
Odell: Myrcenary Double IPA
Stone: Enjoy By 04.20.14
Oskar Blues: Dale's Pale Ale
Sierra Nevada: Harvest Single Hop IPA (w/Yakima #291)

I enjoyed them all.  04.20.14 and Burning Rosids were amazing.  I would drink all again.

For the past 5 or 6 years I've been a bit of a beer nerd. Craft beers of all kinds, light, dark, hoppy, malty. But now I've really found myself drifting towards Coors Originals more often than not. I've usually got some craftier stuff in the fridge but my hand always reaches for the yellabellies. I'm confused about what this says about my beer drinking habits.

FWIW, doesn't really apply to bars. Unless, of course they have Coors Original, which is rare. Then it's CO more often than not.

KCFDCat whats the word on the brewery?

We thought we had found a good spot but it fell through, so back on the hunt for a building to lease. Spent all day Thursday and Friday looking at buildings, hopefully one of them will work out.

The goal is to at least have a lease signed by the end of May and get started on reno in June, hopefully finish by August, get our system in September and be open by October... :crossfingers:

The name has been changed to double shift brewing© we're going to get going on Twitter, fb, and press stuff as soon as we have a building. My life is kind of insane right now as I'm renovating my house, getting married in 4 weeks and trying to get the brewery stuff done. Plus I have to go to my actual job.

Looking forward to having everyone over for a pak and meet some you bastards.

i am a self proclaimed non-beer drinker.  i want to try to start enjoying beer a little so i got some advice and this is what i was able to find at my local store.  am i going to be happy with these?  do i need to pair any of these with any particular food to truly enjoy them?

Till & Toil Saison from Lakewood
Mosaic IPA from Community
Breakfast Stout from Founders
Double-Wide IPA from Boulevard
Franziskaner
Dale's Pale Ale from Oskar Blues
Somewhere, Funky Galaxy & Bible Belt from Prairie

shiner, that's about it.  i recently had a rahr & sons ugly pug that i enjoyed which was weird because i had never been able to stand dark beers at all.

after many years of people making suggestions, based on my like of shiner, and not finding a single other beer i would purposely buy again based on those suggestions, i decided it was time to just buy stuff that other people like and see if i could enjoy them.

Mosaic, pretty hoppy and citrusy but i think i could like it.  it would probably be great if i was outside grilling which oddly i am not today.

will do!  i thought i would enjoy the ales more than the stouts based on my like of shiner but i'm finding that not to be the case at all.  do you have any porters that you would refer to me (used refer because i never know how to spell reccommend no matter how many times i look it up, it is that word to me)?

Just fyi a porter is an ale. Common misconception. Also, try deschuttes black butte. It's great. Also try to pick up some mother's three blind mice, my guess is this would be right in your wheelhouse.

Yeah 3 Blind Mice is another malty one in Supertramps wheelhouse.  Dont care for it much.

I just had a couple cans of Gutch, an ESB by Defiance Brewing in Hays, and thought it was great.  Would also be Supertramp friendly but I think Defiance only distributes to ICT for now.

I've seen it around a lot downtown. Johnnys has it still too. I honestly don't think this years batch did that well. I mean, i'm sure they made a lot of $ and stuff, but I don't think it was close to the batch two years ago.

I really, really like it too. For some reason I've been pretty burned out on craft beers lately. I'll go out to my fridge and be like "do I want this Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA or should I just crush a miller lite" and I choose the miller lite more often now :(

The craft beer craze is not quite alive in Hungary.  Bars and restaurants usually only serve two or three beers on tap.  Dreher and Soproni are most popular brands with Heineken sometimes.  Have heard Czech is beer crazy by comparison.

craft beer (100s of bottles in stores) is kinda stupid.  don't think it will last.  should consolidate to a much smaller number of good survivors (local brewery/restaurants and locally available drafts is a little different).

do you live at all close to one of the flying saucers in DFW?  They have beer flights that are pretty cheap that allow you to try like 6 small glasses of beer.  It is a good way to see what you like without buying a bunch.  Obvs your regular buds n suds things works too but it might be a nice change of pace once in a while.

so started a new thing today, am starting.  a handful of my buds are coming over, all bringing a couple bottles of craft beer.  we all gonna sample them and try to make it a 2 × month thing.  best of all worlds.  hang with buds, drink suds, try new beers without dropping $$ on them without knowing whether or not you like them.

also, i meant new to me, i'm sure this has been done before.

Some buddies and I do a beer swap every Christmas, which I enjoy.

Compare a sour beer to something.

It's like a tart, dry, sometimes peppery thing. You will think, like, "oh, like lemonade or sprite compared to coke, etc." but not really but kinda. normally not sweet but usually acidic.

Need some help fellas. A new place just opened up close by and their selection is really great. However, the manager said he's got a few spaces he's left open and asked if there is anything in particular I'd like him to try to get in stock.

My question, obviously, is what should I ask for?! He left it wide open so I'd like to try to get some harder to find stuff if he has the right vendor and all. I know I'm going to suggest Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale, but with the world as my oyster it's hard to narrow down other options!

I prefer darker lagers, stouts, and IPA's as well. Any suggestions welcome. I'm gonna look through this thread as well when I get some time and pick a couple out.

he won't be able to get stuff that isn't distributed to your area so just go to the fanciest and most well stocked boozery in your region and pick out the stuff that you like best that he doesn't carry. without knowing what you have access to in WV it would be hard to suggest stuff.

Thanks, SD. I figure that's probably the best route too. I just wasn't sure about some of the wonderful libations in this thread and if they're distributed nationally or just regionally. Admittedly, living in WV, even some nationally distributed stuff isn't available close by. Too much demand for Natty Light and Old Milwaukee I'd guess.

i got tired of no one in my circle of friends wanting to sample scotches with me.  i decided i must try to find enjoyment in beers so as to have more to talk about with my buddies.

Prairie Bible Belt (american double/imperial stout) was what truly opened my eyes.  i've been steady samplin since then.

1.  stout
2a.  berliner weisse

You got me, I was quipping on the now-arcane meaning of porter. But, I was genuinely curious. You don't see a lot of folks change their tastes in such a way after a certain age. It's sort've like a guy who had always coveted brunettes acquiring a sudden taste for Blonds (or Weisse versa).

yeah, even in dallas the distribution is minimal, most stores will only sell a bottle per person a day if they have any.  i buy by the case on bomb when i'm in oklahoma, have a lady across the border that will order and hold prairie for me.

i have about 5-6 trades that i need to get finished up but will definitely be open to trading with you come mid to late august.

i love the way AST lives life.

life is for the living, that's my motto


maybe GoE should start our own brew trade group...but then AST would have to send to everyone.    :peek:

I had the Sam Smith one first because it's so popular here, so I had to see what all the fuss is about... Now I see. Damn, that's a good brew.

The Dirty Bastard was in the fridge to try when I got a chance and the gf grabbed it just now. It is pretty good, but doesn't hold up too well against the previously mentioned nectar of the gods!

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.






Also, AST, awesome pics. Looks like it was a blast.

Had Prairie's Birra last night.  It's a Saison.  Based upon reaction to other products here and elsewhere, I was excited to try it.  I thought it was just 'OK'  :facepalm: though.  A little more watery that I would prefer.  In a saison/farmhouse ale, I like to get punched in the nose with floral notes.  I'm talking about real flower bombs, here, not just the suggestion thereof.  The place also had Karbach's Hop Delusion on tap, so my experience was salvaged.

all the beers he shipped to me are not available in Texas.  As in they are not allowed to distribute here (except for DFH but World Wide Stout seldom is seen).

I shipped him beers that are not available for distribution in Maryland.

As of last night, only 300 of 1800 bottles of Fen Tao remain.  This will be the 1st release of Jester King that will sell out in one weekend (other than the 1st batch of La vie en Rose that was only 200 bottles) and i am pretty happy I was able to grab 6 (my wife and her friend muled for me).

Date night last night. After the play, we went over to Bluegrass Brewing Company. I thoroughly enjoy cruising through a sample tray. Their fall brown ale is pretty good this year.

List of beers and what coherent thoughts I remember about them...

Erdinger Hefeweizen- first beer of the day, certainly not the best. Had to go to one of the tents that had the large take-home mugs. This was the closest.

Erdinger Oktoberfest- also okay. Lighter than most American "Oktoberfests"

Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Stout - :love: :love: :love: Best one of the night.

Rivertown Brewing Lil SIPA - holy hoppy hell, batman.

Rivertown Brewing Pumpkin Ale - huge pumpkin flavor, not a bad thing in this case.

Rivertown Brewing Roebling (Imperial/Double porter) - delicious.

West Sixth Brewing Lemongrass American Wheat - not terrible, not all that memorable either(not many were by this point)

West Sixth Brewing Pay It Forward Cocoa Porter - this was one of my faves of the night. Yummy.

CHEERS!

it's pretty hard to find a name for a beer that's not similar or identical to a name that's already been used at some point. Luckily, few craft brewers trademark beer names (except sam adams, blvd, etc...) so as long as you're not in the same geographical region, you can pretty much do whatever you want.

i am a really big state of texas cheerleader but what i said is truth.  it is getting better and maybe in 5 years will be great but texas is terrible about approving out-of-state labels and even worse with it's chokehold on what it will allow texas brewers to do and sell.

(1) No one ships to TX, at least not legally
(2) Stores that sell beer and liquor have to close by 9pm, and stay closed all day Sunday. Grocery stores, etc., that don't sell liquor can't sell beer on Sundays until after 12.
(3) Companies that want to distribute their beer here from out of state have to purchase an expensive license to do so, which therefore means a LOT of companies don't distribute their beer here!
(4) Labeling is a huge pain in the ass for local brewers - TABC has to approve all labels, the process is extremely slow, and I know it used to be more stringent than it is now in terms of what exactly could be written on bottles.
(5) Breweries can't sell their own beer on-site: 3-tier system. So you can go to a brewery and sample their beer, but if you want to buy some, you have to then go to a store and buy it.

There's a lot more, but I'm starting to get angry just typing these......

this was taken off of beer advocate.  #5 is a really stupid one.  you can go to the hill country and tour vineyards all day long and pound glass after glass of 14% abv wine plus buy cases on cases to take home but you cant go to a brewery and buy a couple glasses of 6% abv beer and take home some bottles.

i know i go to Jester King and do just that but they are an exception and their cost for being able to do this is that they can no longer expand their production facility.  This means that if you want their stuff, you have to make a trip to Austin.  They do have a couple bottles that are available for extremely limited distribution statewide but those are not the Jester Kings that people actively look for.

GABF last night.  That place was insane and a lot of fun.  I wish I had planned ahead more to hit some of the special tappings certain breweries were doing at certain times.  Was too crowded for me to track too much of what I was drinking and how good it was.  Finally tried Pliny the Elder - was very good but I guess I was hoping for more.

Wore a Royals shirt and my hand was damn near sore due to all the high fives.

AST - How was the Parabola?  I generally love Firestone

really really really nice.  truthfully though, i preferred the Avery Black Eye, more abv and not as hard to get.  same overall taste though.



Velvet Merlin is one of my go to winter beers.  So so good.

Poignant advice.  Question though:  If I have access to a Miller Lite (throwback) re-sealable aluminum pint can, would you recommend opening and drinking it right now?  Should I take advantage of the re-sealability, or just open it and throw the lid away? (recycle, of course)

Notice the line on the glass... If the beer itself doesn't hit the line (head not included) it is perfectly acceptable (expected!) That you tell them and get a "full" beer. Most of my pics have been poured at home, so don't mind the line in previous posts if it didn't measure up.

Germany was absolutely amazing, and our hosts prepared for us, stocking up on good beers. Even the neighbor heard about my Bräu Vision Quest and gave us a case of random stuff. Just awesome all around. Cannot wait to go back.

Prost!  :cheers:

If you do partial mashes you can always substitute the base malt with some lme. I don't know the exact conversion... Biab is another good option. Let me know if you have any questions.

If you're ever have the misfortune of business in Youngstown, you should stay close to Vintage Estate Wine and Beer. So many choices. Good food too.

They also have twelve kegs tapped and ten reach in coolers stocked.

It was fantastic.  There was a fairly prominent spice note - possibly anise, wormwood or licorice - that may turn some people off.  However, it gave me a boner.

Did it get hot/warm at all? Anything about 75 degrees might be somewhat detrimental over time to it. I think if kept at a low enough temp (55-60) it wouldn't explode like that.

Some beers aren't meant to be cellar'd. Tank 7 for example would not be a great beer to cellar. Saison Brett on the other hand... Abby Ales always good, Imperial stouts, sours.

420 is a v. solid airline beer purely on merit of being a pale ale. It isn't a particularly interesting or exceptional pale ale though. Prefer Dale's although it is really a misnamed IPA.

There is a bar in West Loop that serves all the 3 Floyd's beers. Any number of bars that serve tons of craft beers, just depends what part of town you are in

thanks, man! we're staying in the river north area. I'll try to check out a few of these spots

yeah I read that this morning. very true and sad. the amount of money I've spent on legal fees just to get stuff TM'd etc is incredible.

it's funny the highlighted Magee from Lagunitas, he's pretty well known to be a major bad person in the beer industry. he hates when people say he's infringed on them, but is quick to sue anyone who infringes on them. for example he and sam adams got into it last year when SA introduced a west-cost IPA.

It's an interesting dividing line, there are people who are anti-trademark and people who TM everything. I'm in the middle, I don't want some company to come in and take my names and use them, so I TM'd everything. however, I won't go after everyone who uses a font or a name similar to mine. that's just exhausting. To trademark the initials IPA is absurd IMO.

Tallgrass canning when they did was huge for them. Everyone will can soon.

Quote from: Jeff Gill aka: stud/ boss

Ask a Midwestern craft beer drinker what they think of craft beer in a can and more often than not you will hear, "Bottled beer tastes better.” I thought the same thing for a long time, but in recent years I’ve experienced some great-tasting canned craft beer from other parts of the country. I didn’t think much more about it, until a phone call last fall that got me to do a little research on the subject.

The call was from a Tallgrass drinker in western Kansas. He had about 20 empty cases of IPA bottles and boxes stacked in his garage. I guess he really likes it. He wanted to return the boxes for us to reuse, but since he was so far away, picking them up was not an option. I asked him to recycle the glass and cardboard, but he did not have a local recycler. It would all have to go to the local landfill. This seemed like a huge waste, but what could we do? As a recovering environmental geologist, I still love to solve problems, so I thought about this one.

After a little research, I found out that bottles with paper boxes are just about the most wasteful, energy intensive, and hard-to-recycle things that can hold beer. On top of that, they are not even the best choice for the quality of the beer!

It turns out that the humble aluminum can is the best choice for a whole lot of reasons. Cans are better for the beer. Cans seal better than bottles and totally block sunlight, which keeps our beer tasting fresher, longer. Cans are more fun. You can take cans to the pool, concerts, lakes, stadiums, hot tubs, golf courses, and anywhere else you can’t take glass. Last, but not least, the aluminum can is WAY better for the environment than bottles.

Cans are 12x lighter than glass, which means it takes less energy to ship the same amount of beer. But the biggest advantage is how easy it is to recycle cans. A recycled aluminum can will be made into another can and back on the shelf in about 60 days. Recycling is an easy, efficient thing for can manufacturers to do. 50% of all cans are now recycled and that is expected to increase in the future.

After learning all of this, I have decided to change Tallgrass packaging from bottles to really cool cans that hold 1 full pint of beer. Think of them as little recyclable kegs that can fit in a backpack. Go ahead and enjoy Tallgrass with your friends. Drink assured that we will always walk the walk when it comes to doing the right thing, for our beer, our beer drinkers, and our little corner of the planet.

Cheers,
Jeff Gill, Founder, Tallgrass Brewing Company

I was at that canning party, was pretty awesome, we got so much free beer. Most of the party ended up in the cooler cause their facility was not air conditioned and it was the only cool place (it was like July) and one of the guys in my house was a brewer at Tallgrass at the time, and a bunch of us were talking to him and noticed this odd pallet in the middle of the cooler with all their types of beer on it (all the other pallets had just Oasis or just Buffalo Sweat, etc.) and we asked him why that one was mixed. He told us all of those beers were the "rejects", beer cans that had been over filled or under filled as part of their calibration tests and whatnot. He's like "yeah it's a shame, we can't sell them, hold on" got his boss, his boss comes in and is like "yeah we can't sell them, but if you want them you can take them if you like." :Wha: Me and my friends made out with about 200 free beers, one of the greatest things to happen in my life.  :driving:  :weirdrobert: :moreira: :drink:

I'm not even sure how this would be possible. They would have had to put the shrooms in the fermenter I guess... Not entirely sure how shrooms work but I doubt that would make the beer trippy.

Seems odd. But lagunitas is super weird. They sell weed out of their tap room in cali.

They are opening (open?)  a place in Chicago. Don't know the details on it, but you chi cats should check it out.

Thus would make sense. Still if I'm lagunitas that's taking a big risk of getting your entire brewery shut down just for making a stupid shroom beer.

I'm surprised a Colorado brewery hasn't made a weed beer yet. Or maybe they have and I just haven't heard of it.

There are weed beverages but no weed beer.  I can't imagine the state is going to allow mixing alcohol with weed.  Also, the edibles you get are like "eat 1 gummi bear" or "eat 1/10th of the cookie".  Mixing weed with the binge tendencies of beer would be trouble.

is available in KS but you should try to get to River North. also Ska. I would think about Great Divide or Avery also.

You're not missing much by not going to New Belgium, it's basically like any other large brewery tour. "here's our brewhouse and some fermenters, here's how beer is made and WE USE THE BEST INGREDIENTS IN THE WORLD! Now let's go to the taproom for some beer."

Thanks for the advice. I had one of River North's Belgian IPAs last weekend. I'll add them and Great Divide to the list. I've been to Avery, might hit it up again depending on if we have extra time in Boulder. Ska is too far out of the way but I would like to go there one day.

I would be really surprised if you ever saw a bottle of MvB in WV.  Do you beer trade, hang out with beer traders or go to bottle shares?  Those are your options.

Beer is so stupid. I'm never drinking it again.

those were my exact thoughts yesterday until about 3pm.  then i jumped right into another share and did it all over again.  fortunately yesterday I remembered to eat food which i didn't do Friday.

if they can, take them up on it as it is an amazing sour.  best one i've had on tap at JK and they only get better in the bottle with a little bit of age.  i was pretty much set on keeping mine before i went and after i had it on tap, it sealed the deal.

Going to Colorado over the Easter weekend for a brewery binge. Planned on hitting Odell, Oskar Blues, Left Hand, and Boulder. Co-worker recommended Crooked Stave and Funkwerks for beers not available in KS. Any others I should try? (New Belgium tours are booked solid fyi)
You should definitely hit Funkwerks and Equinox in FoCo. Also, Avery in Boulder and Great Divide in Denver are good.

from the share last night.  Fen Tao (bottle not shown as a home-brewer wanted to take it for a bottling run) was the best to me, closely followed by Sirius Black , Oude Kriek & Kriek Lambiek both from De Cam as 2a-c.  5 was Blend Love.

I highly advise making friends with people that have way better beer than you and don't mind sharing.

So after about 3 weeks in Canada, so far the best beers I've had are Saskatoon Brewery's Dark Berry, and their Chocolate Porter. Another solid beer I've has is Red Racer Pale Ale. Other than that most Canadain beers are pretty meh, for example Alexander Kieth's IPA is the least hoppy IPA I've ever had, and can confirmed by two other coworkers that is has like zero hop flavor in it. Really most Canadian beers reflect Canada itself, pretty plain, not exceptional, sort of solid but really, nothing special. Like, it's all just overall bland and not bold. Will report back if I actually find something worth while (and I've probably connoisseured about 15 beers so far).

some people will never like it.  not a good thing or a bad thing, just a thing.  i would say that LC#5 is pretty complex and I didn't like it right away.  the 1st sour i liked was a nicely done berliner, then a fruited berliner & now pretty much all sours are good to me so long as they are nicely done.

Love child 5 is pretty good.  Not as good as Prarie Funky Gold Amarillo, but good.

Haven't really hopped on the love child bandwagon yet. I always buy a few bottles, but they don't do a whole lot for me.

Saison-Bret though. Wow. is this the best beer in the world? Yes.

I'm the exact opposite way.

That's too bad.

that's just, like, your opinion, man.

First sour I ever had was La Folie about for years ago at New Belgium's brewery. Been in love ever since.

did your guide do the whole "3 sips" thing?
I don't remember that. She did introduce us to "reverse nasal tasting" tho

Made a tour of the Yard Brewing taps at a couple of places in Philadelphia. Their Philly Pale Ale was tasty.

Also had my first Harpoon IPA on the trip home.  Damn smooth ipa.

Mandrin orange and pepper corn.  Not bad.  It's not as good as their triple, but still pretty good.  Also, bought the last Love Child 5 at the store.  I didn't realize it was such a limited release.

Went to my favorite beer drinking spot this evening.

Vintage Estate Wine and Beer

http://goo.gl/maps/StCF8.

Started with a delicious double IPA from Maumee Brewing.

Followed by a Summit IPA. Pretty good. Grabbed it from the bobbing for beer $1 brew cooler.

Finished with a Breckenridge Brew Small Batch Double IPA. Mmm. Mmm. Tasty.

Flavors of curdled malt mixed with undertones of post-workout underwear and that soupy green stuff that happens when you leave lettuce in the fridge for a really long time. Has the hops of a rabbit with cerebral palsy and two broken hind legs.

If you've never had a friend who was really, really bad at brewing beer and yet was intent on making you taste his latest abortion, but then he forgot and left it in the trunk of his car for three weeks during the summer, and finally sprung it on you at a wedding reception where you were obliged to pretend you liked it because you might need a ride home later and because that girl that he knows is kind of cute, so you compliment him on how clever his name for the batch was -- this beer will fill that void.

I will do that by keeping up with this thread and I just got the untapped app (scottwildcat is my name on there pleas fellow gE studs add me) I just finished a 6 pack sampler from New Belgium. I've had a lot of their stuff before but those were my first entries in the app, and I look forward to my new journey. Go cats.

As far as the regular releases from NB go, none of them will knock your socks off. But they are all something that I'd drink every weekend. To me, that makes New Belgium a damn good brewery. I'm not huge into sours and specialty releases, but what I've had from them has been outstanding. That makes them a great brewery as far as I'm concerned.

If you're ever in Ft Collins, definitely visit/tour both NB and Odell. Odell is easier to get a tour, and a really cool place especially when the weather is nice. NB tours book months in advance, but you can show up any day of the week, get super cheap NB beer and play games all day long.  It's a really fun place to kill an afternoon.

Deschutes Pinedrops IPA. DO NOT BUY. I'm a hops guy. this is not hops. it's something else gross. too much. maybe if you want to have one beer some evening it would be tolerable. but nobody should ever want to do that so don't ever try it.

As far as the regular releases from NB go, none of them will knock your socks off. But they are all something that I'd drink every weekend. To me, that makes New Belgium a damn good brewery. I'm not huge into sours and specialty releases, but what I've had from them has been outstanding. That makes them a great brewery as far as I'm concerned.

If you're ever in Ft Collins, definitely visit/tour both NB and Odell. Odell is easier to get a tour, and a really cool place especially when the weather is nice. NB tours book months in advance, but you can show up any day of the week, get super cheap NB beer and play games all day long.  It's a really fun place to kill an afternoon.
Funkwerks is better than either of those two but those tours are very fun. Equinox is also cool. Fort Collins Brewing Co. is a waste of time IMO

Hmmmm. I have a several friends who think it is great, but I haven't tried it yet. The girl at the liquor store (when I bought the Coney Island) did say NYFRB is very sweet and Coney Island is less sweet, more like sarsaparilla (although I'm not sure I'd know the difference between root beer and sarsaparilla).

It's cool, buddy. I just remember something about some upturned noses around here when it comes to porters, I missed the boat on that inside joke or whatever. So I just did a little CYA and called myself out haha.

The cans help it keep longer, btw. Bottles just aren't necessary for the most part anymore, which is why you see so many breweries offering cans more and more.

(At least that's what I am learning from all the ITK people I drink with, I'm just a sheep  :frown: )

This is true but you get a much higher rate of Dissolved oxygen and Head Space oxygen in cans, since the filling process is not as controlled as bottles.

Most blind tests on can vs bottle shelf life comes out being nearly identical due to those issues. (bottles leach o2 at a higher rate, but have a lower ppb at packaging) 

The other issue is,  you can purchase a bottling line that will give you a low DO and HSO number for about 50-60k... That same price on a canning line would leave you with a product that would last about a week on the shelf, due to poor packaging techniques. This is why a lot of breweries bottle,  the cost upfront is way lower.

Try some of the new cans from mother's next to a bottle. You'll taste the difference, the can is obviously stale.

Not necessarily true!  Breweries that "can condition" their beers can only stack two pallets high for 3-4 weeks as there isn't enough pressure in the cans to support the weight. (Blvd has this issue at the canning facility in Minnesota)

Aluminum bottles are filled the same way glass bottles are filled. They are similar in shelf life to glass bottles, but are more $$$. Some people think the fact they let no light touch the beer makes it a superior product. Most studies show it doesn't really make a difference.

No one uses them exclusively as the cost is too high.

Also aluminum bottles are easier to keep cold than glass, are lighter, and obviously don't break like glass.

I can only think of a few craft brands that use Al bottles: Blvd and maybe Red Hook? 

Mostly M/C and ABI use them for stadiums and other venues that don't allow glass. There are a lot of states that actually don't allow Al bottles to be bought from a retailer. There are some weird reasons for this, one of them being the old pull off can tops... When they were popular some states outlawed them as they were terrible for the environment. Most laws say "any metal beverage container must have a non-detachable cap"  thus making metal bottles technically illegal in those states.

if you're a barley-wine, belgian or imperial stout fan, it's like the bee's knees. i don't know how well that festival is ran, but you can get wasted on some tasty brews. I'd say Founders, 4 Hands and Perennial are the can't miss breweries there, based on the beer lists. Most of the local guys are bringing stuff that you can still find in our area.

ethos isn't dying by choice. some winery in australia had it trademarked already.



Is there a way to refill tallgrass growlers near kc or is that strictly a Manhattan thing?
yes only mhk and they will only fill up the growler with beers that they do not currently sell wholesale

this is partially incorrect. the only way to get a growler filled at the moment is at the tap house. the tap house can only fill their own growlers with beers that they brew on premise.

Velvet Rooster is the worst beer they make :dunno:
Wrong. Velvet Rooster was a pretty good Tripel. The saison was by far their worst beer. 16-Bit was a distant 2nd.

Personal preference, I suppose. Not a big fan of tripels.

Yes, 16 Bit was very disappointing.

I really liked Halcyon because it was hopper than unfiltered wheat and other local wheats. But yeah, 80 acre and storm chaser are far better. Would love to see the tap house do some experimental batches of halcyon in the summer.

Randall/French Pressed a couple different ones today.

New Belgium Citradellic with tangerine peel was pretty neat, serious tangerine flavor after only 4-5 minutes.

Big Timber Porter with coffee beans for 10-12 mins, not nearly long enough to get the flavor I was hoping for. Will adjust.

I had #5.  For some reason #6 never really showed up in north Texas.  I have a home brewer/borderline alcoholic friend that is obsessed with beer.  If I'm looking for something, I tell him to keep an eye out and he usually will see it and let me know where it is.

vs bottle or draft? bottles allow light into the beer which transforms it into skunk piss. especially highlife clear bottles. I don't know if ive ever seen high life on tap.

that's true about all beer. clear and green bottles turn any beer into crap. even dark brown is bad if it sits on the shelf a bit. can always tastes better. draft always tastes the best if it's good draft in clean, short or refrigerated lines.

which pisses me off a lot. saison dupont is amazing in a new bottle or draft. most saison dupont you buy from a non-bottle shop have been sitting a bit and taste like ass. they bottled their dry hopped stuff in brown bottles and it helped a lot but they've never done it with their reg dupont saison that I know of.

Meibomian gland dysfunction is blockage or some other abnormality of the meibomian glands so they don't secrete enough oil into the tears. Because the tears then evaporate too quickly, MGD is a leading cause of dry eye syndrome. It also is associated with an eyelid problem called blepharitis.

Does he do all-grain? Do you think it's a lotta work to brew or a long time to wait to drink? I started homebrewing with extracts and you can get beer that's better than store-bought in 6-8 weeks with maybe 5 hours of labor split on 3-4 days.

Big Bad Baptist was great as usual.  The new Double Barrel BBB was a step better.  Son of a Baptist was just okay (not barrel aged like the others, more coffee).  The new Big Bad Baptista was absolutely amazing.  I've got a couple more bottles saved for a special occasion.  So good that mrstdaver made some chocolates with it.

KCFD  -

So, I saw something here in India that can make you a bazillion dollars.

There's a bar in India that has a big electronic board with all the drinks and prices. And the prices of the drinks go up and down based on how many orders they get. If a certain beer starts selling a lot, the price goes up. And vice versa, drinks that aren't in as much demand, the price goes down.  People will watch the board and order drinks when the price drops on something or try something because it seems be popular.  I think it's genius but I could be really dumb. It's probably already been done here.

KCFD  -

So, I saw something here in India that can make you a bazillion dollars.

There's a bar in India that has a big electronic board with all the drinks and prices. And the prices of the drinks go up and down based on how many orders they get. If a certain beer starts selling a lot, the price goes up. And vice versa, drinks that aren't in as much demand, the price goes down.  People will watch the board and order drinks when the price drops on something or try something because it seems be popular.  I think it's genius but I could be really dumb. It's probably already been done here.
I've been to a few bars like that in NYC and Boston (I think?) it's an interesting concept. It's kind of a cool concept and allows people to drink some expensive beer for a decent price during slow hours.

I didn't buy a single sour Tallgrass. Went straight to another brand. Their offering was nasty.

The key lime pie that came out last year was incredible, like willy wonka crazy on your taste buds good.

Haven't tried the can version but they stripped the alcohol down to 4% from 6-7% on draft last year.

After 8 bit finally making an appearance in my neck of the woods, there are about 5 other tallgrass beers now but they’re all the fruity kind. I still buy 2 six packs of 8 bit every time I see it to support them (and because it’s good) but eff that other noise.

I have breweries that I buy stuff from seasonally.
Bells
Toppling Goliath
Founders
Lagunitas
Sierra Nevada
Firestone walker
Cigar city

Drink two or three and then Vodka soda if I want to get really sauced

UPDATE: discovered it tastes a lot better out of the glass (but still a little weird) but am craving it again now. So pretty sure it was my tastes after all. Crazy.

Also makes me realize I need to try new beers out of the can/bottle and poured into a glass for the full experience.

This is going to sound super neck-bears beer cunty of me but I am going to go ahead.  Have you had a New England style IPA from on of the better breweries out there?  It is completely different that the typical IPA and should be its own style.  Yes, the ingredients are the same but the brewing process is quite different.  It is not in the least bitter and is more like a mimosa than its namesake.

Off the top of my head, breweries to get a New England style or Hazy IPA from. 

Casa Agria, Monkish, Other Half, Tree House, Trillium, Finback, Tired Hands, Weldwerks, Calusa, Cerebral, Resident Culture, The Alchemist, Hill Farmstead, Bearded Iris, Toppling Goliath, Turning Point, Celestial, Spindletap.

Toppling Goliath should be moderately available on the Missouri side of KC, not sure if in Kansas.

crap.

Can get TG anywhere in KS. I'd also add Nightmare brewing makes some pretty good NEIPA and they recently became available here.

There is a local brewery in KC called BKS Artisan Ales that makes excellent NEIPAS.

I've had Celestial provided you are talking about the one in Dallas. vry good.

Was going to go Nashville for a sporting KC game and go to Bearded Iris before covid :(

finally - if you ever go to New Orleans visit Courtyard Brewery :) Great neipa and pastry stouts.

AST, what are your thoughts on milkshake IPAs?

Lactose was used as a crutch by brewers/breweries that did not have the haze craze down in an attempt to replicate the haziness and also mouthfeel of NE style and hazies. It has since developed into an almost subset of the subset of hazy/NE style with some quality ones being made but as for me, I stick with the real deal.

My buddy that moved back to KC from Dallas talks BKS up all the time, unfortunately the last time I was back last spring they were closed.  Still anxious to try it.

Have a buddy that travels to New Orleans a lot, will try to get some Courtyard.

The biggest mouth bombs I have had are Juicy Bits from Weldwerks, Western Glow & Mirror Flexin’ from Casa Agria, Australian Kiss from Turning Point, Space Diamonds from Other Half, Diamonds in My Mouth from Spindletap.

I am sure a lot of the east coast & west coast beers I have had would make the list but not sure if they were drank at optimal conditions.

Have a pretty strong preference to Galaxy hopped IPAs.

The spots you want to be are Turning Point (southwest of DFW airport) and Celestial.  Neither serve food but both have food trucks/vendors in most nights they are open.  Both also have trivia (or did pre global pandemic) on random weeknights. 

Both of them can produce IPAs on par with or better than all other breweries in the country.  It is just a matter of being in town when the right one drops.  The Digital Relationship I am drinking tonight is probably the beat IPA i have had in 6 months.

Oh, so distributed here? Not a new KC spot? I am a hazy super fan as well. Vacation in Bend, OR during fresh hop hazy seaaon, won't be disappointed. And in fact, enjoying a Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing after mowing the yard as we speak.

Did it in October and did a loop from Portland  to Hood River to Bend (2 nights) to Newport and back to Portland. Rented a convertible and the trip through the mountains with leaves changing was awesome. Did 21 breweries and 5 wineries in 5 days.

The Oregon trip resulted in a kid and thus have only been to City Barrel, Double Shift, Alma Mater, Call Sign and Callibration in last year. Been trying to sneak down to Servaes cause they've had a few on Twitter that sound interesting.

About every other week i've been attempting to purchase BKS beers online. They go on sale at 7:00 PM Thursday nights and sell out by 7:01 or 7:02. It's insane.

I pick up on Friday or Saturday and then usually also hit up Alma Mader, and then Rochester for some beer & coffee.

There has been a few new breweries that have recently opened in KC in the past few weeks. Pathlight Brewing seems to be the most promising so far, with a good balance of Haze, west coast and pilsners. Haven't been or tried Rock Creek or Lost Evenings.

Day 1 (today): Barn Town in West Des Moines
Day 2: Lua Brewing, Exile, Confluence
Day 3: Forager (Rochester, MN), Pulpit Rock and Toppling Goliath (Decorah, IA)

Day 2 is pretty flexible but I definitely want to hit up Lua.

Bend is one of my favorite cities in the country.  My wife is from Oregon so we might be moving back there someday (currently in CO).  But the breweries, and more specifically the West Coast IPAs are unbeatable.  Bend Brewing CO is another great spot there.  10 barrel also one of my favs!

Decorah is way the f out there. I was kind of disappointed in the tap room as they didn't have much there that I couldn't get locally, but it was still cool to see. Very large place - bigger than anywhere in KC other than Boulevard. Pulpit Rock, I wasn't hugely impressed with their hops. I've heard they are inconsistent from a couple different people. :shrug:

Confluence/Exile were pretty meh.

Lua and Barn Town were fantastic if you are in to the pastry stout/smoothie style fruited sours.

Rochester - saisons and farmhouse ales. Also had a few of the aforementioned pastry stout/smoothie style fruited sours. Great food too. Overall a really good trip.

5 years ago, Texas probably was the worst in the US, not even JK could save them.  Since the TABC has loosened their stranglehold on Texas craft beer the slightest, Texas is no where near the bottom.

Jester King, Weathered Souls, Turning Point, Spindletap, Celestial, Pinthouse can all make their best beers that are on the same level as any other brewery in the country.  Those are the ones with a strong foothold.  There are plenty more that are cranking out really quality beers, time will tell if they have a business model to stay around.

Shiner Bock is abysmal. Jester King saves the entire state of Texas though. Iowa has Toppling Goliath. Nebraska is probably the worst. The best brewery I can think of from them is Zipline. Steve Dave, thoughts?

Quality of beer can’t be the metric. Wherever you are, odds are the best beer available is at a nearby brewery rather than from a can that crossed state lines.

So in my mind, Texas definitely is towards the bottom due to the very unfriendly laws like AST mentioned. It’s on its way up though.

My vote for best would prob be Oregon just cause craft beer is such a staple of Portland. Every place has its own charm though.

I do find the question kinda ridiculous though. Kinda like asking which state has the best tacos.

A big ty to wake for turning me on to truly. It’s basically all I drink now.

Zip line is good. Kros Strain is good. Nebraska Brewing Co is good. Boiler is good. After that the second tier are probably White Elm, Empyrean, Brickway, Upstream, Infusion.

Honestly it's going to be hard to go wrong. So many breweries here and I don't I've ever walked out of one ever saying "I'll never go there again". Ok, so I did say that after going to Pitchers on our "hit 'em all" bicycle brewery tour last fall. Go there if you like shitty beer and carpet from the 80's. But other than that pick some that look interesting and go there.

Here are some of my favorites:

If you're adventurous go to Purpose. Lotta beers that make you say "WTF" when you read the ingredients but they all seem to work. Peter was the head brewer at NBB and then decided to head out on his own (you'll notice a lot of breweries here are like that). Hit up Zwei for amazing German beers (their pilsner is what I crave every time it gets hot). Jessup Farm is another favorite. Never had a bad beer there and their Tequila Train Delay is one of my favorites. Horse & Dragon, Funkwerks, and Snowbank are all really, really good.

If you want to just try a lot of amazing beers without having to travel very far stop at the Tap & Handle and/or the Mayor - their beer lists would rival the best in the world.

Timnath Beer Works is really good also although technically not in FoCo (but it's pretty much). Same with Soul Squared in Wellington.

Stop by a liquor store (Supermarket is my go-to) and get some Mountains Walking. Absolutely amazing beers that I'd put with Weldwerks. Guarantee you aren't getting them in KS so you can impress your friends.

A good buddy of mine told me that adding lactose in beers, mainly the hazy ipa, is done because because brewers can not achieve a proper hazy without it.  He has won a gold medal at the GABF so I tend to believe him.  I will never buy a beer with lactose for that reason as well as I have never truly liked a beer that had it added.

Isn't adding lactose what makes a stout a milk stout and an IPA a milkshake IPA? I think its primary purpose is to sweeten a beer.

Canco Tap and Handle is elite, I went to Zwei as well but man I just couldn’t get into anything they had. They appear to be universally loved by those willing to review on the internets so I am probably an outlier.

I have lots of shitty beers with great bottle/cans in my fridge. People open it and think I'm an awesome beer guy, but I just grab random stuff. One thing that does suck is that some people will not take the cool looking ones because they think they are special or something. In reality, I want them to drink them because if they are there and there are only a couple of them, they are terrible and prob been in there a while.

Never had that one, so can't comment on it specifically, other than it doesn't look like a traditional west coast IPA.  They are usually fairly clear.  IMO the best west coast IPAs are actually from the west coast.

I'm losing interest in craft beer, specifically IPAs.  I used to love them but now they all just taste the same.  It's like wow this one is so hoppy, but wow this one is hoppy too but also has some citrus notes, oh wow. If you have a life changing IPA that will snap me out of my IPA funk tell me in this thread.  Otherwise I'll probably drink High Life all year.

I get in these ruts too. I've been drinking less and less anyway, but I just go to the liquor store and stare for an hour anymore. First it was how hoppy they could get, then the various citrus, and then hazy..... I liked them all at the beginning, but it has made me constantly look for something different. I just bought a case of Guinness at Costco so i'm good for a while. Hopefully something decent comes out in the spring.

My beer selection on hand changes with the seasons, but I get what you’re saying. The only constant in my life has been my absolute preference for enjoying whatever is on tap at a nearby brewery.

agree. I describe it as a beer funk and it usually happens around this time of year. I'll drink some Guinness and Left Hand Milk Stout and then the spring beers will come out in like Feb/March and they will be delicious again.

Man that's crazy. I have also hit an IPA wall.  I went to the liquor store the other day, couldn't pick anything out because none of them sounded good and ended up walking out of there with some Busch light and Wild Turkey.  _33's description is right on the money.  They are all just 2 flavors to me now: hoppy or hoppy AND citrusy    :frown:

Is vodka soda a cocktail? I think so and agree. I'm def still a beer guy, but have been drinking less. I have that sweet spot right before dinner if i'm cooking where i'll have 1-2 good beers then I'm basically done. More vodka and soda than anything in the summer.

Ice cold High Life bottle in the summer is the best. May go on a hunt this weekend to see if I can find some. I was wondering what happened to Petes. They were prob my first "craft" beers. Pete's Wicked Summer and their Strawberry Blonde were pretty good. I remember drinking them on occasion even back in college when I had a few extra duckets.

Sealing and unsealing those is a nice alternative to my usual nervous picking of the label during a cats or chiefs game. That is until I inevitably crumple up the cap entirely.

Brewery is not opening in Aggieville but will be just outside of town off 177. There will however be a taproom in Aggieville affiliated with that brewery.

Thanks man.  It is an unweeded garden at this point.  Had one that had 1000+ unique check-ins.  Lost info when I switched phones.  Got another and realized I was just repeatedly drinking the same 20-30 beers from the same 5-10 breweries so just let it go again.

Who brews the tallgrass beers now? I used to love the 8 bit beer which doesn't taste as good as I remembered but I do love their Tight Rope IPA. (All purchased in KC)

Last I knew tallgrass went out of business 5ish years ago but in the past couple of years they have been trickling back into KC.

Wichita Brewing Company bought the rights to the names and the recipes. I never really cared for any of their flagship lineup and frankly don't really care for any of their attempts at the Tallgrass beers either. My understanding is even the 8-Bit beer went down in quality when Tallgrass was still brewing it because they stopped using Galaxy hops because Galaxy hops got wildly expensive.

That makes sense. I also used to love 8 bit but I was pretty disappointed the last time I got my hands on one.

Also when they changed from pott co water to riley co water changed some of the beer tastes IMO for Tallgrass

All new brewing equipment too. The brewers I know would tell you it all makes a difference  :dunno:

It sounds like Manhattan Brewing Company sold a different company the right to use its name. AOL did the same thing, but in a different industry. You might not have known that AOL is still around, but in name only.

I think you are confusing MBC with Tallgrass. But it was more than just Tallgrass's name. They are brewing (or attempting to) the same beers that Tallgrass brewed.
