If I had the money I'd send Mikey and Deep a crate of my local 'Real Ales' from Bombardier and Spitfire to Hobgoblin, Riggwelter and Bishop's Finger.

And I'd send you some real home made whiskey in return.Granitehewer wrote:If I had the money I'd send Mikey and Deep a crate of my local 'Real Ales' from Bombardier and Spitfire to Hobgoblin, Riggwelter and Bishop's Finger.
I'll bet that some shit right there. I might even have to whip up a batch of some homemade espresso doppelbock.Deepcrush wrote:And I'd send you some real home made whiskey in return.Granitehewer wrote:If I had the money I'd send Mikey and Deep a crate of my local 'Real Ales' from Bombardier and Spitfire to Hobgoblin, Riggwelter and Bishop's Finger.
Blue Moon is a very nice wheat beer, bottled traditionally mit hefe, but like all wheat beers is pretty much most enjoyable in hot weather. All said and done, I think Hacker-Pschorr makes a better wheat beer.Teaos wrote:One beer I have discoved since living in NY is Blue Moon, a beautifully yeasty sweet beer quite unlike any other beer I've had.
You may laugh, but the coffee flavor bends really well with the dark barley malts in a bock. Plus, I give it a decent extra shot of maltodextrin for a bit of extra alcohol and a body without the cidery taste that comes when you try to put in too much sugar.Deepcrush wrote:Espresso... that gave me a good laugh right there.

You put as much effort in your drinking as a woman does getting dressed...Mikey wrote:You may laugh, but the coffee flavor bends really well with the dark barley malts in a bock.

No, you're not getting it. I'm not talking about mixing drinks, I'm talking about brewing beer in my kitchen. The ground espresso goes into the wort (that's what they call the mash when you're making beer instead of whiskey) and the maltodextrin goes in in place of some of the sugar when you're making the stuff, not when you're getting ready to drink it. The only effort required to drink it is the act of pouring it into a glass from the jug (I haven't quite gotten around to bottling in glass with crown caps.)Deepcrush wrote:You put as much effort in your drinking as a woman does getting dressed...
I'd much rather a lazy drink, something I don't have to mix five ways around in order to enjoy.
Blue Moon is brewed with orange zest, as a bit of a twist on the traditional German method of serving wheat beer with a slice of lemon in the glass. I guess the idea is that since wheat beers are light and highly carbonated, they're meant for hot weather and a little citrus makes it more refreshing. I never found I needed it, but I've never been able to order a draft wheat without getting a slice of lemon in it.Teaos wrote:I do find it odd that everytime I order Bluemoon they give it with a slice of orange... never before had that with beer.
