Beer

The revised IPA from pioneer tastes like
Julius.

Just had a jiggawatt DIPA by broad brook... not bad

 

[Caronimo]

youre nuts. Like Husky Hawk said, theres no fruit in there at all-just hops

I liked it... a lot... just think it might be overrated

 

[mauconnfan]

Great can, too.

Thanks!

Tried Sloop Brewing's Juice Bomb last night. It's been a while since I've had Julius, but it was the first thing I thought of when I tasted it. Really great New England style IPA imo. I've heard good things about all of their beers.

Also finally checked out Beer Collective in New Haven for the first time. I think it's my new favorite beer joint--nice cider on tap (New England Cider Company's Wild Fermented Barrel Cider) and great bottle/can selection as well. Of course, great beer taps--and growler fills at pretty reasonable prices.

I think it's great that New England has it's own style of IPA.

Old dude just pointed toward his cooler of Schaeffers. I might do one. Just 'cuz.

It used to be just called IPA.
Then some West Coasters said, "Hey, we're Americans! If this is so good, why not double it. Make it huge with hops!"

And then some east coasters said "We can make make those beers too. And we have better water!"

I had a beer brewed with oysters tonight.

Don't brew beer with oysters.

Cuz you're constipated?

It tasted like 1974. And not in a horrific way.

At a NYE party last night, tried some Satan's Kingdom Belgian Golden Strong Ale for the first time - from the new Brewery Legitimus.
Very tasty. 8.5% ABV.

Don't brew beer with oysters.

I had a good oyster Stout once. And a bad one. Needs to be done right so that all you get really is little hint of brine.

Was it this @Fishy?

Flying Dog Brewery

 

[Fishy]

No - there's a brewery on the Cape called Devil's Purse.

I stopped by and had to buy their oyster beer because it was brewed with oysters and it sounded like something that needed to be investigated.

And it has. You can drink beer with seafood. You just should not drink beer made with seafood. It is bad.

Harpoon made an Oyster Stout a few years ago that I thought was quite good. It had some of the minerality of the oyster, but the robustness of the malt really mellowed everything out. Thought it came together well.

You are a crazy person.

I am going to brew beer with flounders and a gopher in it because the world has gone nuts.

 

[Waquoit]

Oyster stout is actually made with oysters? I think I'm gonna be sick.

It's been a thing for a long, long time, and is making a comeback. The Harpoon one was good. Devil's Purse where Fishy went is pretty so-so as a brewery, so I'm not surprised that their version wasn't good. Love the name and logo though, and their Kolsch is good.

 

[8893]

I agree that the Harpoon one was good.

I also love drinking Guinness when eating raw oysters. Great pairing imo, second only to Sancerre.

There have been people here who turn their nose up at a Schaefer but glow about the "minerality" of a beer thats brewed with oysters. Just think about that.

I think there's a place for both. Growing up a Mets fan, I'll always have a soft spot for Schaefer and Rheingold, but PBR is my usual go-to for that type of beer because it's what my buddy drinks and he's always got a cooler full of it (and he was drinking it long before it became a hipster thing).

 

[Waquoit]

I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for PBR. First beer I ever bought for myself, at Yankee Stadium when I was 17. Sox won.

We've been there (Devil's Purse) several times - hit or miss and depending on whats on tap - but their logo and merchandise is great

Schaefer is gross. Oysters in beer is pretentious and also gross.

All breweries are so-so. The key to overcoming that is artificial scarcity and marketing. (E.g. Whoever makes that Vermont beer that tastes like pine cones that everyone pretends to like.)

First beer I ever bought myself...Michelob.....in the classic bottle....1980.

That's what we were drinking back then! When we could find an older brother to buy.

Youre really good at basketball threads.
