ATTN GM: World Ag Expo starts today. You going to make it down this year?

Best tri-tip I've ever had to this day....also the first tri-tip I ever tried.

This is pretty awesome. Always blown away by such creativity.

Reminds me, on Sunday, my buddy and I stopped off in a small town outside of the prison for a bite to eat a pint of beer at a new brewpub that was fashioned from an old grain silo or some such. Upon immediate entry, we could tell that the brew masters of this place took their brewing very very very seriously. Not a lot of smiles behind those thick beards and Punch Brothers' music.

Anyhow, on the menu was a Hefeweizen that the brewmasters decided would flourish using bananas in the process. Being curious, we asked for a sample and yup, true to form, this tasted like a beer brewed from bananas. I'm convinced the beer industry jumped the shark years ago, but this was a whole new level of overthinking beer. I don't often leave samples unfinished, but this was an exception. Complete and utter garbage.

I never liked hefeweizens because the first ones I had always seemed to taste like bananas. Is that not a normal thing?

I don't THINK so, but I rarely order them. Widmer isn't my favorite local brewery, but it is very hard to top their Hefewiezen and on a warm summer day, I'll drink one down with ease. Plus, they sell six-packs for a reasonable price which is nice. But their catalog of beers is sub-par compared to other Oregon brewers.

About the same here. Didn't really work exercise in until last year, but it's become rather routine now.

Oh. And the stress thing? Outside of not worrying about dropping dead from a heart attack, that's sadly gone nowhere.

Yeah, I think the Widmer one is different. The more authentic German ones that I've had in Chicago always have a strong banana taste, which is why I never order them but the Widmer one I had at the Timbers game with you was decent.

Yeast from the eastGerman Hefeweizen is, in many ways, completely different from the American version popularized by the Widmers, due to the fact that it’s fermented with a different strain of yeast, which produces striking banana and clove flavors. In fact, there are those who argue that what many Americans consume as Hefeweizen is no such thing. “To me a Hefeweizen is a Hefeweizen,” says Verne Lambourne, one of two brewmasters at Vancouver, B.C.’s Granville Island Brewing, “which means you use the proper yeast strain, which will give the beer its fruity, spicy flavor. If breweries aren’t using that yeast, it’s not a Hefeweizen—it’s just a cloudy wheat beer.”

Never have been a big drinker (Vegashole group shot video?). (Mrs. Osaurus says I don't drink enough) I imagine that would help. Admittedly the first 20 lbs came off due due to stress. I could not eat for 2-3 weeks back in April and May. It was awful. I am now mindful of portion control and run ~2 miles 5 times a week as well as track all of it with Fitbit app. I sleep so much better these days. I think also not indulging yourself from time to time can be detrimental. I am doing this to better my life not to make myself miserable. I have plateaued a bit since November, but back on schedule and maintaining realistic expectations helps tremendously.

No. If anything they should taste a bit citrusy.

the internet disagrees with you

http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/style/89/

Hefeweizen
Description:

A south German style of wheat beer (weissbier) made with a typical ratio of 50:50, or even higher, wheat. A yeast that produces a unique phenolic flavors of banana and cloves

http://drinks.seriouseats.com/2010/07/serious-beer-hefeweizen-from-germany-reviews.html

The special ale yeasts that are used to make traditional German Hefeweizen produce crazy flavors and aromas during fermentation—you can taste cloves and banana, spice and smoke, even traces of vanilla and bubblegum.

http://www.germanbeerguide.co.uk/hefeweiz.html

Hefeweizens are usually quite sweet and fruity, with a full body. The typical hefeweizen taste, which distinguishes it from its Belgian wheat beer cousins is produced by the types of yeast used in Bavaria. There are often medicinal or clove flavours, produced by chemicals called phenols engendered by the yeast. Other chemicals produced by the yeast, called esters, produce bubble gum, banana and vanilla flavours.

http://www.fermentarium.com/homebrewing/brewing-beer/how-to-make-hefeweizen-beer/

One of the best summer beers you can make is Hefeweizen. This Southern German (Bavarian) wheat ale is incredibly simple to make, but has great complex flavors. The beer can have strong banana flavors or strong clove flavors, and everything in-between. There can even be some vanilla flavors or other citrus flavors.

Reminds me, on Sunday, my buddy and I stopped off in a small town outside of the prison for a bite to eat a pint of beer at a new brewpub that was fashioned from an old grain silo or some such. Upon immediate entry, we could tell that the brew masters of this place took their brewing very very very seriously. Not a lot of smiles behind those thick beards and Punch Brothers' music.

Back when Keystone Light came out in 89, I was firmly convinced that their "bottled taste from a can" had a distinctive bananaee aftertaste.

So after being single for a while I reactivated my online dating account for the first time after I've hit 40. I've chatted here and there but so far I've had more success with the ones who've contacted me, all in their 30's.

In the span of the day yesterday I went from initial contact with a divorced single mom (half Latina, half white; solid 7+ on the offdee scale) to having her sending me lingerie pics, telling me over the phone last night that she likes spanking and anal but not rim jobs and setting up a "date" for Sunday night.

I've got a first date tomorrow night with a separated Asian single mom (6+ on the offdee scale) who won't stop texting and flirting with me. The only reason I probably won't bang her is that it's a work night.

The above two are pretty much for sex only.

Now I've also been contacted by one I was more substantively interested in. She's also in her 30's, another solid 7+ and an avid runner so very fit.

I forgot how ridiculous online dating could be.

You add citrus to hefeweizens. Unless you are talking that Shocktop drek, they should not begin that way. A nice light summer pale ale however....

Wait - they actually USED BANANAS to make a beer that already has banana-like flavors when brewed correctly? :X

Yeah, was about to make a comment to that effect.

A really good German-style hefe will have a balance of banana, clove, and even some lemon character, but always from the yeast.
