No drat peach flavor in it. I suppose that's to be expected in December 2014. Still not a bad beer, but I want millions of peaches, peaches for me.

but somehow it works and is fantastic. I still can not believe there is no cranberry in it. It tastes like cranberry with just a touch of cinnamon. Fantastic stuff.

The hot dogs look pretty good though. I should get down there. A Chicago dog is: - Vienna beef 100% beef frank is traditional, albeit substitutions are sometimes acceptable. - Neon green relish is traditional, though some other kind of pickle-type relish is acceptable. - Yellow mustard - Tomatoes - Raw onions - Pickle spear(s) - Celery salt - Optional sport peppers - Poppy seed bun Conspicuously absent from the list is ketchup. You don't need it, and some places will chastize you for putting ketchup on a Chicago dog.

So much about this makes no sense to me:quote:So what causes a freshly opened, unshaken beer bottle to overflow? The main culprit is a protein called hydrophobin which dwells within the drink. Hydrophobins are created by a fungus that infects malt grains during the brewing process, attracting carbon-dioxide molecules within the beverage to the surface. Too many carbon-dioxide molecules at the beer's neck can cause the bottle to bubble over when it's opened, much to breweries' chagrin. This spontaneous foam overflow, called gushing, is a different process than what produces a frothy foam head in a freshly poured glass. Huh? Why the hell would a magnetic field do anything to hop extracts?

While crazyfish is correct about the "Chicago dog" ingredients, the best dogs in the area (and on the planet) do something different. What G&J's does agree with on is the no ketchup thing. I was there with my sister a couple months ago and she was all, "Where can I get some ketchup?" and I was all "LOLOL." I'm pretty sure they kick you out for even asking...

Anyone that has done The Bruery's Reserve Society: how exactly do the monthly buys work? I'm guessing the beers go up on the website and that everyone is guaranteed a certain allotment if you want it, then at the end of the month they put up what doesn't get bought as free-for-all? Just wondering, for example, if there's the opportunity to get more Mocha Wednesday besides the 2 pre-allocated this year.

The two Mocha Wednesday included still gives you the opportunity to purchase more unless they say otherwise (kind of like how they did Rum BT this year). What they'll do is hold 'second chance' sales to give you the opportunity to buy more at some point.

wiener + cheddar cheese + ketchup + toasted potato roll = best hotdog there was a spot down the street from me growing up that only had mustard, though, and the owner would get surly as poo poo if you tried to get a dog any way other than chili and mustard or mustard only. one of his sons runs the place now and is not as hardcore, but there was some weird family drama about who was supposed to end up with the restaurant and the other son opened up a hotdog stand right across the street

Yep, that's what you get for your dollars - they're guaranteed to sell you the allocated amount. You can wait till the last day to buy your Black Tuesday if you want. Typically it's a 3-week window between allocations being put up on the website and them closing purchases. For example, November allocations went out on November 3rd and the last day to purchase them was November 21st. You should get an email with the various beers when they go up (sometimes before they go up, even). Occasionally there will be some mild weirdness when they release an additional beer for purchase midway through a month (they actually did it this December, with allocations going up on the 1st and then Oaked Old Richland and Geriatric Hipster Club added in on the 15th).

Update on Wild Onion BA Drago: It's pretty tasty! Similar flavor profile to BCBS but not nearly as thick and the abv is nearly 5% less. Luckily, it's not CW BBS thin.

funkybottoms posted:wiener + cheddar cheese + ketchup + toasted potato roll = best hotdog I think the point is more about the Chicagoheitsgebot of something calling itself a, "Chicago Dog." crazyfish does a good job of spelling it out. That does not mean that other hot dog configurations are not capable of being delicious. If any of you all are in Denver, you should make a point to visit Biker Jim's Gourmet Dogs which does a great job of using weird meats and creative toppings to make dogs that are, in my opinion, superior to your in-conformation Chicago dog. However, a good Chicago dog always has a spot in my heart for being hard to mess up and very satisfying. <3 Paradise Pup 5 ever

The best hot dog is a polish sausage with sauerkraut and spicy mustard. Anyone who disagrees is objectively wrong. Also, Victory Hop Ranch is still pretty awesome. And Forest & Main Rum Barrel Gmork is one of the best beers I've had this year. Forest & Main is killing it right now with Rum Gmork & Telemachus on tap. If you live nearby you owe yourself a trip out there.

This is my thing with ketchup on hot dogs: it's okay to do that if you do it on all sausages. So I won't yell at you if you put ketchup on a dog if you would do the same on an Italian I handed you. Or a knockwurst. If you like ketchup on sausage, cool. It's gross. But cool. Otherwise, keep that poo poo off a hot dog.

I got some Upper Hand UPA (pale ale) today because local awesome grocery store had it for $6.99. This is the same place that had Hopslam for $13.49. It's good, not as "hoppy" as I would have expected/hoped, but at the same time it's pretty true to style compared to a lot of supposed regular pale ales that are basically IPAs. On the other hand, I'm not usually a fan of regular pale ales so, accordingly, this one didn't really float my boat. The label advertises Mosaic hops and toasted malts, both are clearly evident in the taste and they work well together. I'm hoping they branch out into some more interesting styles once the brand is more established. The three things they have now are all "sessiony" things aimed at the casual crowd, which is totally fine and probably a smart move, but I don't drink very frequently compared to many beer people so I'm not really the target market. Still, clearly well crafted and kind of original. Now this Hipster Brunch Stout from Odd Side is fuk*en great. I am SO glad they started making higher gravity stouts because the crazy flavors they work with are a great fit for bigger beers. This one features coffee, maple syrup and bacon (!) aged in bourbon barrels. I don't really taste the bacon, it's more of a slight smoky flavor. I kind of wish that it tasted like there was a strip of bacon in the beer but I'm sure that can't be easy to do without literally putting bacon in your glass. The barrel is nice and robust, the coffee and maple syrup just go great together, I dunno. It's on the level of KBS and similar high-end BA stouts, for my money ($5 a bottle). Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go to Beer Advocate and claim that this blows Kentucky Brunch out of the water even though I haven't tasted it. HatfulOfHollow posted:Forest & Main Telemachus is the best beer you won't drink this year. It's an english barleywine brewed with orange blossom honey. They did a relatively small unannounced release of 144 bottles and I'm kicking myself for only picking up 6. It's delicate with sweet honey and orange notes and a fantastic floral bouquet. I would like to share the fun fact that the growler of DogCat (incredible pale ale) you sent me from there, despite being rinsed multiple times and also washed with soap and water, still smells very strongly of hops something like a month+ later. It's pretty amazing.

danbanana posted:What kind of Polish? Not kielbasa. Either Polish frankfurter or a grilling sausage. Thicker than a normal hot dog with more spice, but not overly spiced. There are a lot of German sausages which also fit the bill. Most American hot dogs are garbage. You have to find a good butcher.

If that doesn't cement how not-rare it is, it was less than 1000 checkins behind Sierra Nevada Celebration. I literally haven't seen BCBS in CO but I also haven't been looking very hard. Not sure if we just didn't get very much again (we got one small shipment last year but I worked to chase it down. This year I just idly looked for it if I was out shopping) or if it sold out in 1 day due to extreme hype or what. Like mrcowcow, I just kind of shrug and enjoy our dozens of awesome but non-hyped breweries  Edit as I catch up on the thread: Eejit's recommendation of Biker Jim's in Denver is pro.

A buddy dropped off a "schwag pack" when he came over the other night and one of the remaining beers was Round Barn Brewing's Hi-Tech Redneck. That place is near a winery in southwest Michigan that my fiance and her family love. But I've never had anything from them until now. It's their Kentucky Common. The only one of those I've had is Local Option's and I don't think they've released the non-barrel aged one one in years. I honestly don't understand why this style hasn't blown up. It's essentially a milder oud bruin: very mild lacto tartness, darker malts. A winter sour. I have no idea how good Round Barn is in general, but this is really nice and I would likely try this style from any brewery that puts one out ala goses and berliners.
