Z71_Denali Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 i taste tested my Texas Blonde homebrew yesterday after a long detail day! its been in the bottle for 2 weeks so it wasn't fully matured but it was very tasty. pale in color, crisp taste much like a lager from the kolsch ale yeast i used, and low on the IBUs. just a light, crisp well balanced tasting brew! i think its going to be a hit with my BMC drinking friends at the crawfish boil i'm throwing next saturday!

Team Adam's Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Did you get Ruinated? I have heard from two people now that Deviant Dale's needs to be tried by me. SOON! The tall can IPA I had from them was pretty darn impressive. I'm still on my Sierra Nevada Torpedo Kick... keep coming back to it and its getting really easy to find here. Almost every store has it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z71_Denali Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 wife and i went to have dessert at the Melting Pot last night, tried a new beer from Colorado... Breckinridge Brewery Vanilla Porter, another great beer!!! Vanilla Porter | Colorado Craft Beer | Breckenridge Brewery Vanilla Porter - Breckenridge BBQ & Brew Pub - Denver, CO - BeerAdvocate it creates a nice thick head that dissapates quickly. good lacing, great coffee, chocolate, vanilla taste and medium bodied. the perfect after dinner beer without getting bloated!

THE Mook Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I have a nice little collection of Micros going in my garage fridge for when Dylan comes out for the Halos series. Some Monk's Cafe, Stone Collabs, Lips of Faith by New Belgium, a 40, among other things! Yeehaw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue Capt Sigs Northwestern Ale and Sierra Nevada Hoptimum IPA No Gout and did not raise Uric Acid in blood test. DR says don't worry you can have a few yet the books tell ya no beer???? It's almost like experimenting what is going to trigger it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Adam's Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Pliny the Elder I'll have to say far and away my favorite beer right now, and lord is it hard to get your hands on! My local connection got his "shipment" in... his shipment was a whopping 4 bottles. I bought all 4 Local places that are able to get it on tap (there aren't many) sell out so fast that by the time you know they have it, its gone! If you get the chance to try some... DO IT! Very clean, very balanced flavors... a little citrus and grapefruit notes, good level of malt and the nice kick of pine/hops. Man, I'm drooling just thinking about it.

Dv3andrs Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Dylan, I don't like you right now either. A buddy of mine could get it in Washington and told me all about it. I can't get it out east. And It's not cheap to brew on your own either. you should buy them all up next time and ship to Mook and I...Just saying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBlack151 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) While in Zell Am See & Salzburg Austria on our snowboarding honeymoon this past January I was introduced to Edelwiess and quickly fell in love with this brew! If you get a chance to visit Austria make sure you enjoy some of this as well. Just wish I can get it here in the states. Of course we hit up Munich as well and made all the stops at every beer haus! The Augustiner Haus was my favorite. Edited April 27, 2012 by JBlack151 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, I'm drooling just thinking about it. i'm so jealous right now! there's a reason that and Pliny the Younger are the highest rated IPAs on beeradvocate! but i don't know why because i can't ever get my hands on it! i think they're the only beer rated 100 on there!

ssbusdrvr Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 So what makes it rate better than say a DogfishHead 90 or Sierra Nevada Hoptimum? Man they are pretty exceptional IPAs imho. But it gets spectacular reviews. Wow. Dylan want to make a trip to FL with an Elder? Have a great weekend Hopheads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z71_Denali Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Enjoying my one and only beer for the week. Only allowing myself one a week while doing P90X Gotta love homebrew!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 Nice head, that's a good looking brew! My home brewing has been placed on the back burner. Things are so busy right now that I haven't been able to brew as many batches as I'd like. I fear I may have ruined a batch of barleywine. It's been in the fermenter for 8 weeks. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really hard to screw something up. As long as you were sanitary and the yeast is active don't worry!!! Barley wine takes time. If u transfer to a secondary you will get an idea of how it's doing by its smell and appearance before transfer. Barley wine and sour beers take a lot of time! So be patient!!! I bet it'll turn out great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTO Guy Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I will pay someone to get me a 4pk (or more) of 120 if anyone here has access. If there is something in houston you are looking for PM me and maybe we can trade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
