Gonna get down into the high 30’s tonight, allegedly.

 

We've been in the low 30's for some weeks now. Best sleeping weather.

 

I also love mustard. And might try a mustard beer but I'm not sure I'd love it. Rather just drink my triple ipa and call it good.

 

I guess fall’s ok…

 

This guy knows what's up.

 

Is that because it was on the short circuit?

 

Folks just shedding some light on the subject.

 

Jeez, man. Lighten up a little.

no.
At best your ipa had more alcohol

 

Left in January and the right in mid to late-March is the plan.

 

"Beer as it should be"

I've pondered this when I did a 10yr stint at a beer distributor.

see...folks drink American light lagers....I would say at a 10,000:1 ratio.

they are easy to drink.

IPA was created to keep it fresh for long journeys out of India. they added a shit ton of nasty-ass (estrogen laden) hops to it to keep it from spoiling. so, not really "as it should be"

and it tastes horrible. very harsh on the palette.

AND...check the date on all those nancy-boy craft brews. Generally speaking a beer is good for ~120 days if stored in a cool place.

Beer should only have the exact same ingredients as bread. (water, barley, yeast (& hops))
(yes, most beers use corn/rice as the carb-it's cheaper)
therefore, beer has a quantifiable shelf life. fresher is better.

Go to the brewery & taste fresh beer. it's awesome.
ask to taste fresh wort. it's like beer kool-aid. it's the base before they add yeast.

most craft beer (& IPA's) are way out of date....so, basically stale.
and puberty-beard fat slobs say it tastes great! LOL

and....craft beer (or any beer)from a keg is a genuine crap shoot. that has a 60 day freshness. IF it's kept very cold. remember keg beer has live yeast in it. (canned beer does not - it's pasteurized.) you keep keg beer over temp and you have created a nasty brew. the yeast becomes active when it get past 40' and starts to make alcohol & CO2.



in short. drink what you like.
but, for the love of Pete, please check the date on your brew.


FTR - my favorite brew was Zeigenbock from A/B. it was a Shiner Bock copy - but higher quality & smoother.

and the original recipe Shlitz was primo.

 

Love me a Shiner Bock (or 6). Always on the lookout since I can't get it in MA.

 

Times have changed. Colorado, home of the Great American Beer Fest, has hundreds of micro breweries. A thing here. No shortage of lagers of course. Plenty of fresh beer to be had here including master crafted IPA's. Word gets around here quicky if a micro brewer is serving beer that is not fresh. Competition is keen. No micro brewer here wants a bad reputation. There's no shortage of other beer purveyors to try out. There's probably a dozen within a few minutes drive from me. IPA's are quite popular in Colorado. Almost all my coworkers who drink beer prefer IPA's and double IPA's. A regional thing. Times have changed.

 

For the win!!!!

 

times have changed, yes.

but, American light lagers sell ~100 million barrels a year.

it's nice to see small breweries do well.

Texas tried that and it ended up the big 3 brewers bought most of them out.

yes, there are some successful places, but very few. you have to really push some volume to cover costs.

and, some small breweries have their beer contract brewed & shipped in. it's sad.

 

Imperial. Greenish blue label

 

Re: longshore strike

gonna stock up on non-perishables today.

 

Not for lager boys

 

We do it right here. We have some of the best craft brewers on the planet along with Portland and Seattle. The awards are proof in the pudding. Portland, Orygun started all this back in the 70's. Washington state is no slouch either. Damn good too. Washington brew masters have won numerous awards at the GABF. More micro's than CO now. Hell, Kommiefornia has over 900 I think. There are several successful places. Here in CO there is no issue covering volume. We like our craft beers immensely!

 

I like a good lager too! Blondes have more fun...

 

I thought the strike was just on the east coast. Which ports are expected to actually be affected?

 

I just can't drink them. No taste, no mouth feel.
