The Beer Nerd - what are you drinking / brewing thread

The Tea Weiss was the one that stood out to me on the menu. Would love to try that.

 

Yessir, just had some awesome wings! I think you and Tony need to come down for some food

 

Would have tonight, if I had known.
Gonna head out a little later to one of my favorite haunts for a beer or two and some tunes.

 

They have Badfish playing here on Sept. 9Th

 

I don't know of them. Looking at their website right now.

 

Farmhouse IPA, standard phenols, some hops, sweet, well rounded.

Trailsmith, meh, no flaws, nondescript.

Azacca session, weaker Farmhouse, meh, the GF likes it, oh joy.

Farmhouse IPA w/ Brett, pronounced Brett nose, clean Brett profile, no sour, no funk.

Apricot Weiss, another Berlinner, with a touch of fruit, weakest of the weisse.

 

Sublime cover band. Sorry for not extending an invite tonight, went out with my parents

 

After leaving a BBQ event that was being held by another TW member here, the wife an I ventured down the street to a local brewery/taproom. Had a cream soda that made for a great dessert beer and the wife liked the Imperial Chocolate Stout so much that a growler ended up coming home with us.

 

Right now, Cerebral Brewing is my number one place in Denver. The menu is IPA centric. Their beers pack twice as much flavour as any other brewery I know, but they are still easy to drink. Wouldn't call 6.2% abv sessionable, but but somehow the fifth beer is just as refreshing as the first.

 

How was the event? Or maybe that question should be in the other thread...

Looks tasty!

 

Aging it a year made it much more palatable. Pretty good actually.

 

Oh...I was just givin' ya shit.



Went to one of my places last night to watch the game and have a beer or two.
Stone - Tangerine
Foundation - IPA
The Stone was pretty darn good.

 

Ok, woke up in the TV park in Peculiar MO. Brushed teeth, shaved, time for a beer, let's get one of those Boulevard Pils we bought last night. Crack it, sip, oh shit. I opened the Prairie Noir the brewer gave us by accident. Every stop we make I have been giving 2 Houston beers. St Arnold's Art Car IPA and Karbach Hop Delusion (double IPA).

Oh well. 11% BBL RIS for breakfast.

 

Stopped in to Evil Genius yesterday.

 

Morning!

 

Stockyards brewing

Golden at, pseudo although, clean

Black IPA, roast with complementary hops, easy going

West bottoms IPA, low hop Aroma, sweet, not bitter, balanced but doesn't stand out, not for hopheads.

Brunch stout, creamy, roasty, chocolate, oatmeal and coffee. Nice beer

Vienna lager. Clean, no diacetyl. A good job, malty, well rounded.

Mexican lager, no flaws, like Corona but more flavor.



The hefe and the Saison confusingly close, just a touch of pepper more in one, both clove Aroma, no bubblegum, banana.

Fox trotter Scottish, very dry, needs more Xara melt, not as sweet as I expected.

Belgian wit, meh, lots of coriander, too sweet, no orange, not crisp and refreshing. Fail

 

So good.

Sorry if I keep posting the same beer

It's just so good and local-ish!


Plus a buddy of mine works there.

 

Meh

 

Brain dead Brewing, Dallas



Berlinner, not sour enough

Terrace Gose (wm gewurztraminer grapes) low sour, salt right, coriander low, undercarbonated.

Altbier, too chocolate, but clean, mildly fruity

Dead Flowers, mildly tart, touch of flowers (chamomile)

Export Stout, very nice, roast, toffee, mildly creamy, tobacco.

All their beers need more carbonation.

 

We stopped in Vermont to pick up some beer on our way to Maine last week. We got to the store just after the Alchemist delivery van arrived.



There was a line for Heady and we didn't want to wait, but the Lawson's delivery was earlier, so we grabbed a bunch of that and were back on the road in a few minutes.
