put in my name for the beer trade, looking forward to this.

 

It was me!

 

four hands incarnation IPA. delicious stuff

 

haven’t seen one of these since my old job in Philly. had to snag

 

Traded for this a while back, exclusive to the membership above mine.

Bruery Terreux - I Concur: Oak barrel-aged sour blonde ale with Sugarcot apricot and Bergamot orange.

This is one of the most citrus-forward beers I've ever had, really strong citrus, almost too much. But the apricot is extremely clear and the orange ties it together nicely.

 

Sunriver Fuzztail Hefeweizen tonight at Paulina Lake up in Oregon. Didn’t knock my socks off, none of that hefe yeast character, but the setting couldn’t have been any better.


After having to evacuate from our backpacking trip in the Sierras, my friends and I have been able to salvage our trip and even breathe in some relatively untainted air. It’s required a lot of flexibility, but we’re making it happen!

We announced the release of our version of Black Is Beautiful yesterday

And since we're located in a pretty red area of the state our FB has currently turned into a warzone

 

I like to release the carbonation so it doesnt upset my tummy

 

We have our 8 responses. (Well 9 but but djwildefire filled it out twice so I'm just going with 8 haha)

I will give it another week or so and then start digging into the responses and let everyone know their first match ups. I'm going to leave most of this up to the 2 people that get matched up. We are all adults here so I don't think I need to bug everyone about this to remind them to send their half of it.

Yeah I don’t doubt that. I’ve seen at least 10 breweries in Michigan have to post “stop yelling at our employees about masks or we will just shut down for the foreseeable future.”

people suck.

did y’all do the BIB straight up or play with the recipe? The brewery that did run the jewels beers did a 7% blackberry lactose stout as BIB and another is doing a dark pils for it.

 

We brewed ours as a straight forward milk stout with lactose being the only thing added. No other adjuncts. 10% ABV

 

Honestly surprised she broke one before I did

 

Ok, So I messed up by not having a field for your Chorus.FM username and the first 2 people that signed up I did not get their Chorus usernames. I tracked one down but the other one I'm not sure. I don't want to post your name in this thread for obvious reasons but let's just say if you could go by the nickname FLETCH reach out to me and let me know you signed up. thanks!

 

let me not hop onto the page lol

 

Yeah that's me.

 

LOL whoops. On a road trip, so my cell service has been spotty. Maybe I thought the first one didn’t go through.

 

so this may not be new to you, but it's totally new to me, I just learned about "still' beers which are made without carbonation. It seems that they are mostly beer/wine hybrids for now, from what I can tell, but the idea really makes me think about carbonation and it's importance. I actually have two "still" beers in my fridge right now, both are beer/wine hybrids, but the idea is very interesting to me...

 

I fancy myself a burp boy, personally

 

yeah i’m a burp the baby lad as well

 

Still beers are interesting but I think only work as a high ABV wine-esque beer. I’d love to try a, say, 14% barleywine aged in a spirit barrel still but outside of that, it wouldn’t be for me.

 

The two I currently have are these, both of which are high ABV wine-esque as you mention:



It'll definitely be interesting to see if the style expands past wine much, your example does sound like something that work work as well. To be honest, a ton of the high ABV stouts I have from the Bruery already are pretty low on carbonation so maybe it wouldn't be a huge change

 

For sure. I can’t see the appeal of, like, a 6% saison being served still or something like that. But those beers sound great.

 

still saisons would be terrible haha.

tasting all the beers i've brewed before being carbonated makes me believe that still beers are not for me
