Beer/Alcohol Forum

[TheConstantGardner]

I'm sure there are many other beer connoisseurs here besides myself. Can we have a forum to discuss labels, types, etc.?

Miller Chill tonight my friend

light, refreshing, pleasant hit of lime and slightly sweet. I can taste agave although it's not listed (maybe wishful thinking). Very good beer for a hot afternoon. Would go great with nachos and cheese or chilli.

[Wavels]

This is a good idea....I enjoy a nice cold brew or two especially after a bowl or two...
My preferences run to darker brews.....Stouts, Porters, Bocks etc.
A forum to discuss brewskis is long overdue......

Damn dude, you really do love the beer!
I enjoy the Stella Artois too, but that's one of only a few I recognize from your list. I also love Grolsch when I can get it.

I have grown very fond of white wheat ales such as Blue Moon (great with an orange garnish!) and honey lagers such as J.W. Dundee's Honey Brown.

sweet! a grower and a brewer! you don't per chance happen to have a brothel or a harem do you?

 

[mattso101]

Groelsch is a fantastic Dutch beer. But if you like the whites, blondes, and wheat beers, there is (as I mentioned) Blanche de Chambly from Quebec...Its beautiful. I drink it with a lemon on occasion. There is also the Belgian: Chimay White which is not as smooth but still worthy of a try. Another, more mainstream brewery in Canada recently put out Rickards White (in addition to Rickards Red, Honey Brown, Pale, etc. ) and served it with an orange slice. Not bad.
Petrus Blonde is another Belgian and may be particularly hard to find, its a golden Blonde but so smooth and full flavored.
FINALLY....
Though unless you live near it or vacation there, my favorite smalltown brewery is Muskoka Brewery in Bracebridge Ontario...

Nope, but I've thought about it....

Right now I have a Rye IPA (India Pale Ale) fermenting away right now... I should be transferring to secondary fermentation in a day or two to age it for a couple of weeks before bottling.

Here is the recipe for the Rye IPA....

1/2 lb biscuit malt
1 1/2 lbs Malted Rye
1 Worlfloc Tablet @ 10 minutes left in boil.

1 ounce Cascade FWH
2 ounces Cascade Boil 60 mins
1 1/2 ounces Cascade 30 minutes
1 ounce Cascades 10 minutes
1 ounce Cascade flame out

Single stage infusion mash @ 150° F for one hour
Sparge with 170° F for 1 hour
Add First wort Hops and bring to boil, once boiling commences add 2 ounces of boiling hops for one hour. At 30 minutes left in the boil add 1 1/2 ounces of flavor hops. At 10 minutes left in the boil, add worlfloc and aroma hops and continue to boil. At Flame out add 1 ounce of hops.
Cool as fast as possible and pitch wyeast 1272 American Ale II 1600 ML Starter. Ferment at 66°F for one week in primary, 2 weeks @ 66°F for 2 weeks and Bottle with 3/4 cups of corn sugar and allow to condition for 3 weeks in bottle.

Nice I've been homebrewing about a year here. Already came out with an impressive irish red ale recipe.

[Wavels]

I just had to reference the fact that the title of this thread has beer/alcohol in title....

My favorite non beer drinks are nice red wines...I recently discovered Malbecs and I love big cabernets and merlots...pinot noirs are also delicious.

My real decadent beverage of choice is gin.....martinis and gin and tonics....even straight gin on the rocks with twist of lemon or lime....
I like Boodles gin best of all....Tanquery and Bombay are quite nice as well...
The buzz I get from gin is delightful!!!!

 

[Dankdude]

If i can save up 15 more wine bottles I'm going to make a batch of Blackberry Marlot.
Personally when it comes to hard liquors, I like High end Tequillas.

 

[Wavels]

Dank, out of curiosity, what are your fave brands of premium tequila?
Do you drink them neat?
I have never tried any top shelf tequila.....soon.....

I also like high end rums....15 yr old Haitian Barbencourt and my favorite; Pampero Aniversario (Venezuela)------I sip them out of a snifter and prefer them to fine cognac. Goes great with a cigar!!!
