DevsMan84 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 A nice article for a good laugh: Beer Taste Test The best line is the last: "None of these beers has enough complexity and balance to be excellent, but Coors comes fairly close." I didn't know that piss-water can be described as tasting excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilMinder Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 This month I have been seeking out session beers. Good tasting beer with low ABV%, picked up Bitter American (in cans!) it is pretty decent. A little more hoppy than I like but it was a refreshing change.

I am into Session Fest. Session Black was kind of average. I like their 10oz bottles. I also noticed they're made by Full Sail. See what looking for calorie info teaches you!

DevilMinder Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 session beer A beer that is low in alcohol and has a balanced flavor of both hops and malt. The purpose being so that it can be drank over a long session of time with out overwhelming the palate or getting the drinker too intoxicated. Like, duh!, just kidding. I just heard the term myself and it made sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepperkorn Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) Well that's why I ASKED. I noticed you didn't capitalize the S. But I also wanted to write about what I was drinking of course. Never heard of Bitter American... oughta send a case to the Politics forum Ahh 21st Amendment brewery! I just looked it up -- I think I'd heard of/wanted to try Monk's Blood... Edited February 2, 2012 by Pepperkorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsMan84 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I have been looking for 21st Amendment's Hell or High Watermelon for ages, but haven't found it yet. I know it is seasonal but even in season I have been having a hard time finding it. Also looks like Flounder Brewing in Hillsborough, NJ is coming along based on his Facebook site. He should start brewing sometime this year and will make his beer available in local bars and liquor stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurricane1091 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) Miller Lite is not even all that cheap. Here it's like $20 something for a 30. PBR is like $14 for a 30. I like drinking good beers like Sam Adams, but if I'm down to party Miller Lite is the way to go.

DevilMinder Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I just loaded up my Mr Beer home brew. I got it as a christmas gift two years ago and never got around to doing it. Hope its good.

Irish stout in 4-6 weeks (I hope!) I have used mine twice. The first time I made the pale ale then the second time I made a dark stout with molasses...well needless to say it was garbage to drink but cooking with it was awesome. Oh and two bottles blew out the bottom and shot like rockets across the basement. Its fun to play around with but hopefully what you come out in the end with is a hell out alot better then my garbage. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy blue Moon if there is nothing else on tap where I am but this sounds pretty dame good to me. You mean Coors came out with it, Blue Moon isn't a brewery, it's just a name Coors uses to hide the fact that it's not really a craft beer. As for Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar, I just finished one now. I was so excited the last time I was in the store to see that it comes in six packs now! I rarely buy Rogue anymore since I realized that everyone's 22oz bottles tend to be overpriced compared to the 12oz bottles, and almost all of Rogue's beers are only available in 22oz bottles, so it felt good to buy this again without feeling like I'm being raked over the coals. With regards to homebrewing, my buddies and I just bottled a barleywine and have an IPA fermenting now. We didn't get a brewing kit or anything, we just got some equipment from a store that also sells ingredients and then we boil it in a big pot and ferment it in a five gallon bucket. One of my teammates uses a Mr. Beer homebrewing kit and I don't know if it instructs you to do this or not, but he bottles his beer in plastic soda bottles, which seems to me like it wouldn't keep oxygen out as well as regular beer bottles. It also seems like the recipes they give you are for relatively light beers that are cheap to make, but we like to make beers with more body, so we just look online for recipes. We plan on eventually coming up with our own recipes but we're not that advanced yet. So far we have made a milk stout that came out much hoppier than it should have because we were too drunk to remember to take the hops out, a porter that was fantastic, and the barleywine and IPA that aren't done yet. Without me, my friends made a Belgian that was really good and an imperial stout that was infected but I thought was still very good as long as you referred to it as a cherry imperial stout or something like that haha. It's too bad we will never be able to recreate that one though. Edited February 22, 2012 by devilsfan26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I normally wouldn't have the patience for doing this but I am bored. Strangely enough I got a magazine in the mail about homebrew yesterday. It was latin to me with all the items in it but interesting to read anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinn01 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Well then, guess storing it in my closet while it ferments is out! LOL I think because I adjusted the recipe by cutting the sugar and replacing with molasses, that is what caused it to burst. I would still put it in a place that if it does happen it wont ruin anything. Just a word to the wise. DF26, your right I forgot about that but considering it is from the same place that puts Coors out, its really not that bad. Its one of those beers that is the best of the worst so to speak. Like I said, if there isnt anything else better on tap I dont mind drinking Blue Moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMinder Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 http://www.njbeer.org/news/we_need_you_to_help_nj_craft_brewers_and_craft_beer_consumers.php We Need You to Help NJ Craft Brewers and Craft Beer ConsumersFor the first time since craft brewing was legalized in New Jersey, there's an opportunity for you to make a difference and help NJ brewers and consumers. On Monday, March 5th, the New Jersey's Senate Law and Public Safety Committee will meet to vote on S-641. The bill, developed by the Garden State Craft Brewers Guild, will give all craft brewers in the state more flexibility in how, when and where they sell and promote their beer. Current regulations highly restrict what NJ brewers can do--especially when compared to the surrounding states of NY, PA and DE. Among the changes this legislation proposes include: allowing one company to open more than 2 brewpubs; allowing production breweries to sell beer for on and off premise consumption; allowing breweries and pubs to conduct informational tastings on and off premise; and allowing brewpubs to distribute beer through wholesale network. By Friday, March 2nd, please contact the 5 members of the Senate Law and Public Safety Committee (listed below) to let them know that you support the legislation as a craft beer consumer and ask them to VOTE YES on the bill. For your information, Committee Chairman Donald Norcross is already a co-prime sponsor of the legislation. You should thank Chairman Norcross for his sponsorship and for allowing the bill to be voted on in committee on the 5th. When calling the other members of the committee, you should comment on how this bill will help small brewers continue to create jobs, improve tourism opportunities and cut needless red tape. From the consumer perspective, you should comment on how the bill will allow you to have better access to the locally made craft beers you love and want more of. Remember, please call or e-mail these members by Friday, March 2nd to make sure your voice is heard and your support for S-641 is registered. Thank you for your continued support of New Jersey's craft brewers. Garden State Craft Brewers Guild Members of the Senate Law and Public Safety Committee Norcross, Donald - Chair Audubon Commons Shopping Center 130 Blackhorse Pike 1st Floor Suite D-3 Audubon, NJ 08106 (856) 547-4800 sennorcross@njleg.org Greenstein, Linda R. - Vice-Chair 7 Centre Dr. Suite 2 Monroe, NJ 08831-1565 (609) 395-9911 sengreenstein@njleg.org Bateman, Christopher 36 East Main St. Somerville, NJ 08876 (908) 526-3600 senbateman@njleg.org Holzapfel, James W 852 Highway 70 Brick, NJ 08724 (732) 840-9028 senholzapfel@njleg.org Sacco, Nicholas J. 9060 Palisade Ave. North Bergen, NJ 07047 (201) 295-0200 sensacco@njleg.org Thanks for your support of New Jersey's small brewers.
