Sending beer through the internet tubes
What? A Dampfbier...what is that? First time in a while I've had to click on the style button on Untappd. A 100% barley malt beer made with yeast usually reserved for hefeweizens. Alright. That sounds...unnecessary. It was good. It's not ground breaking, but sometimes, at least for me, the cloudy nature of a hefe can... Continue Reading →
Out in Kinston, NC for the evening taking in the Chef and the Farmer restaurant of PBS fame. Best meal I've had at that price point pretty much ever. Beer I had was very good. Second beer I've had in a week that said it had almonds that I couldn't really make out. I don't... Continue Reading →
Sours in a bottle...after a year...rarely do the beer justice if they've been aged or blended with fruits, I've found. I'm probably wrong. Montmaretto would have been 1 year old on Friday. This sour from Wicked Weed claims cherries and almonds. A year ago the almonds were there, but they've since packet up and left... Continue Reading →
Out at Raleigh Brewing and I don't get out this way much. It's an odd location in relation to the Quay. They've got a new outdoor beer garden thing in their parking lot, so that's a thing. Gawsie Gurk is a small batch Wee Heavy aged in oak barrels. Scotch Ales, from light to wee... Continue Reading →
What we have today is a nice Belgian blond (no "e"). It sticks pretty close to the style guides but minor quibbles that the head doesn't linger and it's a bit thin. However! Let's focus on the good parts! I'm beginning to like the estery Belgian yeast flavors in beer now that I can do... Continue Reading →
Oh man...Wise Man Brewing out of Winston Salem, NC. They are going to be big (-ger than they are right now). We've made the trip out to see them twice and haven't been disappointed in a brew from there yet. Even bought a 4 pack of a DIPL and I never do that. I'm enjoy... Continue Reading →
Dialing this one in a bit. I should be back tomorrow with a few to get me through the launch of the next World of Warcraft expansion. This is a straightforward berry sour from Wicked Weed. It's dry, sweet, and...well...berryish. It would taste like a sugarless koolaid if it didn't have the Brett flavor on... Continue Reading →
Time for an experiment! Same beer: draft and cask. Carolina Amber is a pretty nice strong bitter (or Extra Special Bitter if you want to chance incurring the wrath of Fullers). I like it on cask a bit better than on draft. The maltiness is really expressed in the cask while it's rather scrubbed in... Continue Reading →
I really like London. Been there thrice, going back next fall. One thing I've not really done well is appreciate the London pub. I'm not sure it's anything an outsider/tourist can really get into with the limited time spent in the city, but I'll give it shot next time I'm there. Tonight's beer is a... Continue Reading →
Couple of things about this beer. First, it's one of those beers that I never remember having. So even though I've checked it in only twice, there was a very long time where I was getting it a lot just because I'm an idiot. Second, first time I had this was back in 2014. I'd... Continue Reading →
