A Beer Thread.

I was reading up on the BBPXXV and there is some fruit in there? Does it stand out? Seems a little odd..

[DPG21920]

Drinking the Crown Valley Gunslinger double IPA 9% tonight.

I'm really into beer, but I just can't get into IPA's. I really want to, but it just doesn't taste good to me. I've had some mild ones and they are ok, but I haven't found the one that really sets me off on getting into IPA's.

You're in Austin, right? Try the 512 IPA. It's a good, smooth IPA. It's only available on tap currently, but it's my go to beer when I go out.

[DPG21920]

Ya - I'm in Austin. Ive tried Dogfish Head (which was good) 60min IPA, Sam Adams Lattitude 48, Stone IPA and a few other randoms that I know were good quality, but nothing that hooked me. I'll give 512 a try..I normally drink their Pecan Porter

[DPG21920]

Absolutely.

The Black Butte Porter is 5.2%. The Black Butte XXVI is the 26th anniversary Porter, and an Imperial porter at 10.8%. These bottles say "best after 6/13.15."

I have one bottle of the XXI left. It says "best after 10/17/10" and is 11%.

Just picked up my first bottle. Says best after 6/15, but I cracked tonight to try. Very solid, but I picked up the fruit a lot more than I anticipated. Question: Is it normal for a lot of sediment? Might be me just pouring too fast, but there was a lot of yeast sediment.

Not uncommon in big ales, fermentation continues in the bottle. Doesn't really affect flavors all that much, and refrigerate for a few days and it generally drops to bottom.

Figured as much - thanks. Wanted to try first/quickly, but will grab another bottle and let it sit for a few months then try again. I don't mind the sediment at all. Doesn't take away from anything and doesn't gross me out.

Tried Founders Centennial IPA tonight. Very smooth and well balanced. Will probably stick with it for a while.

Like every venture in life, it's a race to see who has the bigger dick. Being able to brag about getting a bottle of rare special release porter made from fermented elephant smegma. Being among the first to try a newly tapped keg of the special new IPA that tastes exactly the fucking same as the last 50 special new IPA's but somehow you can trick your brain into tasting all the different nuances.

I'm not against it. I participate myself. I love plenty of craft beers and go searching for the rare shit too. Let's just all stop acting like this isn't a dick measuring contest, because it is.

Very true, but I don't really brag about what I find. I tend to pick out the unusual ones like the habanero sculpin and whatnot. I don't blog about it and probably the only place I participate is here and that's mostly to bring attention to a beer that you guys may not have in TX or whatnot. But I do see what you mean and there are tons of people that act that way.

I like to try new stuff sometimes but I'm in a pretty firm rotation with my ales right now. I'll switch up for the seasonal beers but I'm a creature of habit. I'll do a Sam Adams or a Shiner in a restaurant though if there is nothing I usually drink.

I'm really not much of a drinker.

I had some Old Speckled Hen and it was quite good. Don't know what kind of beer it is and I don't know all the beer drinking terms but it was good. I know a lot about fermentation science but when it comes down to the actually craft I know nothing. Lots of variables, I don't see how they keep any alcohol consistent.

I fermented pure glucose (lab grade) with distilled water and some specialized yeast in Pyrex lab glass and then distilled some off and it smelled and tasted just like brandy but perfectly clear. ( only yielded a jigger full; did not start with much). There is so much going on biochemically even with really pure starting ingredients I just imagine quality control is a nightmare.

So here's a toast to the craft beer guys who can get consistent batches.

I haven't had either one of those. My current favorite is Oskar Blues Ten Fidy...and I'd put it just a little behind that not because it's worse, but because the flavor profile is a little different. Every time I raised the glass to my nose I got a big ole whiff of cherries and chocolate. Just damn good stuff. The cherry flavor came through even more as it warmed.

I would be open to some suggestions for a good lager and IPA.

[leemajors]

if you're gonna have a good lager, why bother with dos?

[benefactor]

Go with a good session IPA...that way people can drink on them throughout the reception and not get sloshed. Founder's All Day IPA is my favorite. Comes in 15 pk cans too.

[baseline bum]

OK leemajors, which guy are you in this video? :lol

Does anyone go to the Texas Craft Beer Fest in Austin? It's pretty incredible.

[leemajors]

Knee Deep beers are pretty good, the lupulin river, hoptologist and simtra are all great as far as their IPA's go.

Doing a little old school with some Sierra Nevada Torpedo tonight. With all the new IPA's out, it still holds up very well.

Does anyone go to the Texas Craft Beer Fest in Austin? It's pretty incredible.

Yup. Every year. My uncle works with craft breweries. He travels the world and checks out new (to us) ingredients. Every year he gives us tickets to get in along with tons of tickets for beers. Then we hang out in the area where the brewers and supply groups hang out and they have a bunch of coolers filled with free beer from the breweries in attendance. Such a great event.

[benefactor]

Been doing a lot of Dale's Pale Ale lately. After drinking a lot of different stuff you forget just how good the old school joints are.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Got a 6 pack of a limited release Lagunitas Where's Waldo pale ale. Felt a buzz after two and was like WTF...looked at the bottle and they were 11.5%. Could not tell they were this strong from the taste at all.

Seems to be Lagunitas' MO. Brown Sugga is the same way. You can barely even taste the alcohol and it's 10%.

Odell IPA has been my go to for while now when I'm at the house...but Lagunitas or Deep Ellum IPA is usually what I have when I'm out eating somewhere. All three are solid IPAs. I mentioned this to someone else, but if you like that one pick up a bomber of their Hop Stoopid Ale.

My local drafthouse finally got some G'Night Imperial Red Ale back on tap again. Oskar Blues really makes some great fucking beers.

[leemajors]

Not a huge fan of Lagunitas IPA, but i'll grab one at Highland Theater in Austin cause it's the only IPA. All of their other pales/IPAs are way better imo. Lagunitas Sucks is one of my all time faves

[benefactor]

Yeah...they have both Lagunitas and Deep Ellum on tap at the drafthouse I frequent and I never drink either there. If I'm doing an IPA there I'm either getting Fresh Squeezed, Dreamcrusher or Mycernary.

Will probably pick up some Odell this week, heard lots of good things about it and I've eyed it many times before but just never managed to reach for it. Same goes for Deep Ellum.

IPAs have rekindled my love of beer especially since I'm more of a Cannabis connoisseur. Beer was just boring before and I never saw it as remotely tasty, let alone delicious until I tried my first Hopadillo. Dat changed errthang.

And this thread has been a pretty informative guide, as well. When I first came across it I couldn't understand why it had so much fucking traction in such a short amount of time; I do now.

It's been a fun journey so far, some learning experiences here and there--my dumbass downed a 4pk of Dogfish 90 about a month ago, yeah :lol

I also find the evolution in taste intriguing. Drank Millerlite/corona for years, then XX amber, negra Modelo, Bohemia, new castle, guinness drought and indio began to pique my interest in heavier beers. Then I went through a pbr phase because it's a decent light and fucking cheap as hell--you can now get a 6pk for<$4. To this day it's my go-to light beer :lol fuckit

But IPAs are a whole new world. Off the top I've tried: Sierra Nevada torpedo, ballast point, stone, stone enjoy by xx/xx/2015, hopadillo, dogfish 90, st Arnold art car, sam adams rebel, lagunitas, and busted sandal slippery rock.

Will be trying your suggestions.

Don't gloss over all of the new Pale Ale's either, they are incorporating the same hops used in IPA's for a similar but lighter taste and %. And for an even lighter IPA taste be sure to check out the "session" ales. To me these are the greatest thing to come out of the IPA movement, now I don't have to have a shitty coors light on the golf course at 10 AM and can finally enjoy something with actual taste.

I went there before they got bought out and moved into the new facility, it was pretty awesome. Old Numbskull is pretty good.

Peticolas is small but they have some great beers. Velvet Hammer(Imperial Red), Operation Collaboration(IPA) and Sit Down or I'll Sit You Down(Imperial IPA) were all three delicious. Operation Collaboration is a joint venture with Green Flash and one of the best beer I've ever drank. Off the top of my head, I can't think of a better IPA.

A few years ago, I was at Mellow Mushroom and we asked for a recommendation. Waiter suggested Stone RuinTen Triple IPA. It was about 105 outside so that may have colored my judgement. But it was probably the best beer I'd ever had. We ended up calling around to find out what stores still had some and ended up buying 12 of them. My buddy took them home and I forgot all about them. He gave them back to me about 6 months later. Needless to say, they were not the same as the first one.

Can anyone recommend a good Vanilla Porter from a Texas brewery? I would love to buy a local vanilla porter, but have had trouble finding them or the ones I have tried have been pretty mediocre.

Will give weathered souls a look. Unfortunately Texas doesn’t do very good porters or stouts even in the cold months from what I have seen. There is obviously exceptions to the rule...

Guadalupe Brewery in New Braunfels has their Pecan Cocoa Stout and it’s one of the best stouts I personally have ever had.

I have had that one as well and it is quite good.

512 Pecan Porter is real fucking good as well.

freetail has a really good coffee stout, but it’s hard to find in stores. Basically have to go to the brewery to get it
