The Beer Nerd - what are you drinking / brewing thread

First time having Sosus.

 

Very nice. Creamy smooth, medium body with only light carbonation. The caramel/toffee flavor with no real hop taste. Just nicely balanced malt. Others talk about a strong presence of dark fruit. I can pick up on it but to me it’s not all that strong.

 

This is good info since the big breweries try very hard to keep this stuff a secret.

Unfortunately, the link isn't working at the moment.

 

Maybe just temporary, I can go to craftbeerjoe.com directly but not to the list?

Maybe Bud-Inbev has mounted a counter attack.

 

I little dessert tonight.

 

That looks delicious.

New Belgium Tartastic tonight...

 

Haha! That was my first thought.

Having this one again. It's groemwing on me. Refreshing...and 7.3%.

My autocorrect is taking over the English language.

 

White (PG). Some stuff left over from a party a couple weeks ago.

 

Brand new beer joint opened this past week about an hour north of Denver. New Belgium's head brewer just started up his own, small brewery named Purpose Brewing and Cellars (I think). Anyway, stopped by there and he had 4 beers on tap (all barrel aged). They were all pretty good but I think my favorite was called Smoeltrekker (sp?). He's a native Belgian so all of those beers were belgian style. Pricey a f though.

 

Is he still at New Belgium with this being his side gig? Wonder if "big beer" ran him out?

 

No, he left New Belgium. They parted on good terms, but I think he just wanted to get back to his roots of small, craft brewing. I am almost certain that he will still consult or collaborate with them. He was there for like 20+ years.

 

My mom drink white wine white zinfandel real cheap stuff in a box.
Because of that I don't like white wine anymore I prefer red wine real cheap table wine like Chianti

 

I prefer reds also. And not into the sweet whites.

 

Time to dry hop!
