Eq4bits Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 What’s your favorite? I don’t drink it (well I do... maybe 1-2 bottles a year and then it’s ‘Not Your Fathers Rootbeer). But it seems like a good topic. So, discuss away about your favorite brews.... Anyone have an opinion on Hammonds microbrewery/craft beer by the name of Gnarly Barley? Asking because my friends son left Abita after working there for years (and winning the La Lottery) to follow his dream of working for a smaller brewery. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely for sipping and not for drinking all day. I am fermenting a blonde ale at the present, haven't decided if I am going to flavor it a bit. As far as beer I will try anything, more partial to darker beers. Not particularly fond of IPAs but there are some that I really like. One IPA that I have been enjoying lately (thanks to my daughter who lives in NOLA) is Holy Roller IPA from http://urbansouthbrewery.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NS Mom Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Beer is not my favorite, but when I have one, it’s usually a Rolling Rock or An Abita Root beer . A few years ago, we were at a kids party and they had a keg of Abita Root beer, that was the best! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchertiger Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Abita 30 90 is a clean easy to drink beer. Perfect for the beach or a day of tailgating. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the color of the beer was more toward the amber side, I decided to add some Goslings Bermuda Black Rum to see how that tastes. I like to experiment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wsgeaux Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I’m not a big fan of lagers (I like beers with more kick and substance), but I went to Greece recently and had my fair share of Mythos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Kolsh is a great beer style. It's an ale and not a lager (meaning ale yeast is active at higher temps and ferments at the top of the fermentation vessel). On the malty vs hoppy sliding scale of flavor it is more towards the 'malty' side of the balance. One of my favorite styles to brew. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchertiger Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Le Chien = The Dog Let us know when the beer is available. I normally brew beer using the "all grain" method, however, I am currently drinking an IPA I brewed using the "extract" method. Not a fan of all IPAs but this one I like. The extract method is much less involved than the all grain method (kind of like making soup from scratch vs. from a can) and I can see will allow me more opportunities to experiment with flavors. I also brewed a porter that was supposed to include maple syrup as part of the fermentables. Well I substituted Steen's Sugar Cane syrup instead. Tonnaire mais tu parles bien !!!!!!! Savoring every drop of it. I think my next experiment is going to involve fermenting wine and beer together. There are a couple of beers available in this style, Abita Masion Blance being one of them. I think I am going to pair Sauvignon Blanc grapes with a blond ale. I plan on using Nelson Sauvin hops since it imparts a flavor similar to sauvignon blanc grapes. Stay tuned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
