Enjoyed some Goose Island Matilda last week. Score. Belgian and a great looking bottle.
I am intrigued
Old Bay rim will be necessary during taste tests
I'm having a Brooklyn Sorachi Ace for the first time, and, uh... This is a WEIRD beer. Poured pale enough to be called "yellow," with a pretty big head. Smells and tastes of lemon (which apparently comes not from lemon, but from rarely used sorachi hops), but not in a summer shanty way. I don't know how I feel about it.
Along with the same idea, I'm drinking a Founder's Rubaeus. It tastes like a soda my wife would buy at Whole Foods. I had to double check it had alcohol. I'm not a fan.
Yeah, this is one of Brooklyn's refermented ales, so you can definitely taste the alcohol (though, as with their Local 1 and 2 brews, it tastes more like a barley wine in that respect than a traditional beer), but it's just such a weird taste. I think it's growing on me. It's definitely drinkable, and would probably go really well with seafood.
I'll keep this on the beer thread for obvious reasons, but does anyone have some Asheville rec recommendations? (I familiar with some places like LAB, Salsas, BBQ, Tupelo). But maybe some newer places or off the beaten path?
Don't let anyone tell you that 90 minute is better.
Isn't the 90 just a blend of the 60 and 120? Or is it that the 75 is a blend of the 60 and 90?
I would really like to try the 120 at some point.
currently on my second Enjoy by 5/16/14 of the night (Stone's Brewing).
dammit they make a good imperial IPA. so damn smooth for 9.5%. dangerous.
