The Official Misc Beer Drinkers/Brewers Crew: Brb getting soused

[uracowman]

This thread will be for beer drinkers to unite and talk. You can post pics of your recent haul, what you are drinking tonight, provide reviews or give general advice. You can also ask advice in this thread if you brew beer as well. I've done it a few times, but it's just too much work.

I also feel inclined to start this thread. My cousin, Brett Joyce, owns Rogue in Newport, Oregon.

If anyone is in the Houston area, I attend trivia at the Flying Saucer in Downtown Houston every Tuesday evening. We are the big dogs and we win every week, but I also have access to a ton of beers as well. I'll post pics of what I drink (srs)

Damn, that's awesome as hell.

A Plus sells growlers here, so I can get something good in that glass jug.

Been drinking blue moon or bud light lately any tips on something new to try?

[uracowman]

Do they have shiner bock or zigenbock where you live?

Also, New Belgium is available almost everywhere. 1554 is good, so is fat tire.

Man I'm jealous of OP if he gets hooked up free Rogue. Quite delicious beer.

FYI, there is a pretty good beer thread in the supplement Misc, but I am all for a regular misc thread!



Not quite beer related, but brewing related. I think I'm going to make 2-3 sample batches of cider (never tried before, but whole foods has organic apple cider that comes in a 1 gal. glass carboy already for like 6-7$, so what could it hurt). Anyone have any pro-tips? I was thinking about making one basic one, then maybe one drier/higher alcohol content (11% or so) one using champagne yeast, and maybe a spiced flat one? We'll see...

I've never actually visited the brewery since I'm in Texas, but I'll be heading to Portland next year for a friend's wedding and a trip will be in order.

I'm not related to him by blood, but his wife and kids are. My grandfather's sister's grand daughter is married to Brett. They send us christmas cards every year lulz

1554 and 90 shiling are both decent by new belgium and distributed nearly everywhere. The only downside is that New Belgium is one of my least favorite breweries in Fort Collins (where I live). O'Dells and Equinox are both better (IMO), but don't get the national distribution. Equinox is also especially cool, as they give most of their recipes to the home brew shop nextdoor, so you can easily make good clones if you want.

It's funny you mention O'dells because I was in Denver 2 weeks ago and I picked up a random IPA off the shelf and it was O'Dells. It was ok :/

[wayne53]

hey OP Houston brah, you ever taken the Saint Arnolds Brewery tour? It's $7 and you get a souvenir glass and free beer

One of my friend's mom is the tour guide there. I can tour it for free if I wanted to.

I haven't taken the tour yet because of time constraints, but I will soon.

[getout87]

about to go crack a Bell's Hopslam. i'm unemployed and damn near broke, but somehow I can still convince myself to spend $18 on a six pack.

[Ramoneb87]

Me and my friends are into the micro brew thing and are always buying the kits to make beer at a local shop. We made an IPA turned out awesome, made a Honey Wheat ale, turned out awesome, then tried to make a black-berry porter and it turned out like chit

[DtotheJtotheH]

yeah. I'm not a huge IPA / DIPA person so I've never really compared between the 2 companies. Odell's 90 shilling, cutthroat porter, and bourban barrel stout are all quite tastey, to me. Most of my friends love their Myrcenary (DIPA) beer, but I don't think I've ever tried it.

[cyde]

If anyone wants to join up on the supp misc beer crew, we could use some more good people. Thread is always active.

does anyone homebrew?

My brother and I are going to start homebrewing when I get my house. Upon inspecting the attic, I found a couple carboys, tanks, and other homebrew goodies collecting dust. The current owners are going to leave it behind for me. We have a few years experience but a bit rusty. Used to brew back in New Orleans.

I would buy new stuff if I were you. Sanitation is everything when it comes to homebrew.

Nothing some oxyclean and sanitizer can't fix. I'll probably toss everything except the carboys. Glass holds up quite well.
