It all makes sense now. Id personally consider "fruit bombs" to be more wine or a type of cider. But das just me. I don't make it or make beer. I just know whenever i ever have one i never say, " This taste like a beer"

 Made it by BarrieHaus today and got a nice little haul to try out. 4-pack of a Czech Session Lager and a crowler each of Family Tradition Vienna Lager, Big Pluckin' Pils, Maltika Baltic Porter, Kling American Lager, Colonel Maize Mexican Lager, and Rock Bochstah Maibock (gently caress, I just got that name when I typed it out). Weekend is looking good, is it Friday yet?

Decided on a whim to open up my last bottle of New Glarus Wild Sour (this is he 2013 release). This beer was always my favorite evidence for what some age could do. It was a mediocre-at-best Oud Brun at release, but within a year that NG sweetness had faded and a beautiful funk had taken over. I think the last bottle I opened was 2ish years ago and it was still loving great. This is not nearly as good! The color immediately threw me off as it is pretty dark. Oxidation on the nose, but still smells fruity. But it's well past it's drinking prime, being pretty acetic, one note, extremely dry. It's still pretty impressive how much change this went through, even over this time. Whatever yeasts and bugs NG has in their "Fruit Cave" do a LOT of work here, and seemingly devoured every ounce of unfermented sugar in this.

Last weekend or so I opened a Vintage 2016 R&D from New Glarus and it was really really good. We thought the tartness was on point but the Brett characteristics we're veering to an overly earthy super old spon beer already. Despite that, there was a nice fruity/grainy base that carried through. Still great, but I'm opening my 2017 bottle soon. This Vintage series seemingly never needed the extra age that you're talking about, but clearly reached new highs with a dash of time. Man, their R&D series in general has been bangers for me. Also found an Allagash Midnight Brett that was from 2016? No where near as Brett forward as I expected (it's not like a few year old Saison Brett from Boulevard). Very cool tart cherry, slight roastiness, funky/earthy profile. I need to try a more fresh bottle now cause this could scratch a psuedo-belgian-stout itch very well.

funkybottoms posted:sprinkles probably have like gelatin or something, too Unless you've got some really REALLY fancy sprinkles, they don't. Just sugar and corn syrup and coloring and a light "wax" coating. The coating is water-soluble. My oldest was obsessed with them for a couple years and we have them in the house all the time. He's at the "mix my ice cream until it is just flavored milk" stage in his life and the sprinkles just make sure that milk is extra brown.

closest we've come to pastry, but still a long way off. we didn't have the hops we'd normally use, so we went with Challenger, which gave it a spicy note that balances out the sweetness a bit. also hides that 11% pretty well imo

It's my favorite time of year... Tis the season for German beers! If you've got access to a CostCo, be on the look out: Ours had 24-bottle cases of Hacker-Pschorr's Oktoberfest Marzen for $25.

I'm honestly sick of 'pastry' stouts. Hell I can't really even stomach an DIPA at the moment. I had a solid 2 weeks of crispy-bois that completely cleansed my pallet and now I guess I have to just start over. I think I'm gonna take a break from drinking and ease back in with some marzens soon and work my way up to some Belgian brews.

Oh for sure, Prost's is legit, always. Comes across as more bitter than most to me. I still dig it though, that place can do no wrong imo.
