The Officially Official Beer Thread

[Saison]

Hop Wallop rules.

I spent Valentine's Day @ Victory Brewing. We sampled all 23 beers.

not really. We get a handful of stuff from that area and what we do get are the bigger more common brews. for the most part, everything within 600 miles of you is entirely a mystery to me.

The same is probably true for the beers near you as well. We have the worst distribution here in DE, which is why I cross over to MD or PA to buy beer when I actually go out for it. That's one of the reasons we make so much of our own, also it's cheaper and more fun.

Oh yeah, plus Golden Monkey, Storm King and their various other amazing beers. Woo!

Around our house, we just call it Old Ho'.

So many barleywines have a name that starts with the word "Old."

Old Horizontal
Old Ruffian
Old Crustacean
Olde Gnarleywine
Old Guardian
etc

I am naming the barleywine that I recently brewed "Old Gimpy" in honor of my recent knee issues.

We're supposed to be going to a barleywine fest in April in Philly. I'm super psyched.

Due to home renovations, we are behind on homebrewing. I bought a case of Heinekin as a stop gap.

Heineken?

[Evil Elmo]

[Saison]

Tell me PLEASE why buying Heinekin is wrong?

Same reason buying corona is wrong.

Who are you and what have you done with Sweet Lady Beer?

[Saison]

First of all, there's nothing wrong with Heinekin. It's a well-balanced, nicely hopped lager. It has no corn or rice in it and happens to do pretty well in competitions. Are you turning your nose up because it is so widely distributed? Heinekin is my go-to beer when I'm out and nothing good is on tap. I'll never understand where you guys get off telling me about beer. Frankly, it is a little insulting.
