What kind of beer is everyone drinking tonight? (1 Viewer)

I'm not sure if I have ever had a milk stout. I still have the Bell's Kalamazoo Stout that Tip Top sent to me, but haven't tried it yet. What's the difference between a milk and "standard" stout?

The easiest definition would be that its brewed with lactose. Lactose is the sugar found in milk. Its also unfermentable with standard ale and lager yeast. So when you add lactose, its sweetens the beer with out risk of the sugars being fermented away and raising the alcohol content.

Really fruity and sweet...pears and citrus....If it starts off this sweet, I hate to think how sweet it will be as I get more into this bomber....

So far its really tasty though.

 
Going to try the Lancaster Milk Stout that was sent in the BOTM group #1.

What did you think of it? I think it's pretty good, but not great. I still have a bottle or 2 from a six pack I bought about 5 months ago.

The Ale I'm assuming. Good stuff. Especially on cask. :thumbup: They also make a pilsner which is just as good. FYI, it's contract brewed by Old Dominion Brewing.

Rated the Lancaster milk stout in the BOTM #1 thread. It was ok, gave it a 3.2As for the Tuppers, yeah it was the ale. Nice trip down memory lane. I bet it would be good on tap as the flavor gets a little flat towards the end.

 
i can vouche for Uncle Randy's trading prowess. he's quite gentle. :thumbup:

anyone want to recommend a follow-up beer to a stiff IPA? probably going to delve in to the Mad Anthony IPA this weekend.. need something to follow on its heels that isn't going to be ruined by the hops from the IPA.

:hot: don't think there are any other hoppy beers in my fridge.... there might be a Sierra Nevada in there though.

 
anyone have good suggestions for a beer to pair with almond & apple stuffed sirloin?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
this turned out to be a disaster.the sirloins were PORK and not beef. :wall:

didn't really think about that until we were well in to cooking them.... turns out they had to be baked for 1 hour. which turned in to 90 minutes. didn't wind up eating til after 8 PM.

but i drank St Bernardus Witbiers with em and they were great.

 
Holy thick sludge, batman! Black black black, thick thick, thick. No head after the pour, then mysteriously a 1/2 finger topper appeared out of nowhere.

WOW. This is definately a RIS. Thick, with a nice bitterness. CREAMY thick, milkshake mouthfeel. Larry aint messin around with this beer.

Surprisingly EASY to drink. The last RIS I had was Sam Smith's, and it had more alcohol taste and was alot more harsh, even at a less ABV.I dont know if I can drink 2 of these in a row. This is why I havent cracked my Stone RIS or Big Bear or Speedway yet....I really have to be in a RIS mood to drink those. Especially the 750ml Speedway. :shock:

Big Black Bear isn't that big...its a very nice stout but it isn't a huge beerThe Stone RIS is much smoother than your average imperial stout...perhaps thats why its the #2 beer in the world.

The 750ml of Speedway Stout is a very big beer and a whole lot of it.

 
What a good beer day. Had a Summit EPA with dinner. A Majaraha DIPA afterwards, and now a Summit IPA. Oh, but that's not the good part. In laws came with Great Lakes Burning River, DFH 120 minute, Dreadnaught, Two Brother's Hop Juice and Goose Island Imperial IPA. I married well.

No kidding. Hell of a lineup.I'd like to get my hands on some hop juice one of these days.

I sort of had my fill of trading for a bit, but I am sure we could work something out sometime. I have them get me it fairly often and they brought me 3 this time.

Agreed. Probably the biggest beer I have had to date. Really good, but it takes awhile to drink. Very complex, and very strong.

Me too. I've got one worked out with Furley, but I'm taking a break after that. For at least a month.Then I'm going to try to get you to send me some more Goose Island IIPAs. Damn that was good beer.

That beer is probably in my Top 5.

Archer liquors can help you out there. And he's getting some fresh Dreadnaught in :yes:

:wall: had i known this on Saturday, gb, i could have grabbed you some at the store.

 
I can honestly say I'm drinking a beer right now. :thumbup:

Coors Light. :bag:
Other than the part about Coors Light, nothing wrong with that. :thumbup: Until I went to Munich, I always thought having a beer in the morning was a bad thing. Having a nice light beer (hefe or helles) at 10am in a beer garden watching all the people walk by changed my mind.
 
Have any of your heard of the Great Taste of the Midwest?

It is a beer festival in Madison, WI. The thing isn't until Aug yet sells out its tickets the very first day in May. Im bummed I couldnt get any tickets this year.

http://www.mhtg.org/gt2006.html
The beer festival I'm going to tomorrow is going to be jam packed. I don't know how many tickets they sell though. At $20 for "all you can drink" it's going to be crazy.

Well, I took the day off today. I figured on a dreary day like today, I needed to open something special. Just openened a 1996 George Gale & Co. Prize Old Ale. It's been laying down for 7 years or so.

Not at all what I expected. I was thinking Barley Wine all the way. Anyone else had a New Glarus Sour Brown? Well, this is the closest I've come to that, only a tad thicker. Not sure if it's supposed to taste that way, but I am a huge fan of the sour brown, so it works for me...

 
:thumbdown:

gdb this weather... supposed to be like this clear through Tuesday up here.
75 and sunny here. :pickle: Of course, I'm inside working right now. :(

Same forecast tomorrow though. :pickle:

Can anybody get Thomas Hooker beers from Conneticut?
:hey: Just found out today that this is now available here in Georgia. Very surprising as Georgia is the only state outside of the northeast listed on their distribution list on their website. Somebody posted at BA that Green's in Atlanta has Liberator. Looks like I've got to find time to get over there.

Edit: Just got off the phone with Green's Confirmed the Thomas Hooker. I may have to go pick up some Liberator & Hop Meadow. Also found out they have some Jolly Pumpkin now too. I may have some options for trading now. And to think I just told myself I wasn't going to buy any more beer for awhile. :D

I've got a couple of Celebrators in the fridge now. I may have to do a side-by-side comparison.

rotten deal.check around BeerAdvocate... someone there might be selling a ticket.
I'll be attending my 7th straight GTMW fest this year. Great festival, great town. They limit it to 5,000 tickets, so even though it's crowded, it's not so bad that you can't move around and get to the beers.Some friends of mine drove up to Mad-town on the 1st and got 4 tickets each. I think those 8 are spoken for, but a couple of us also sent in mail orders, so there's a chance we'll end up with extras. If we do, I'll send up a flare here for my beer buds.
