[Nucular George]

Mai = May

Hey thanks. The 7.5 years I spent growing up in Grafenwohr, Germany sadly left me without any German language skills.

 

[Nucular George]

MacPelican's Scottish Ale

From Duckboy AKA Goatee Guy #5. Or maybe not, but why let the truth get in the way of a good story.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Couple new brews on tap at Mad Anthony: Rye IPA and "Spring Fling", which is basically a Maibock.

I liked 'em both.

Maibock. I can safely say I've never had one of those.

Not a real common pub brew, but traditional in Germany in the spring. Balanced toward maltiness, like most bocks, but a little lighter in color and body, and a little hoppier than other bocks.Description and some commercial examples here.

Supposedly Dead Guy is a Maibock, but I'm not buying it.

Word on the street is that it's way too expensive compared to other beers like Stone, etc.

Stop posting in here and post where you're supposed to. Or else I'll tell your wife the truth about that camping trip. And we all know after seeing the pics that you'd NEVER be as successful next time around.

i'd drink the liberty before the stout. i dont think the order matters too much but i would save the darker, maltier one for last as i'm not sure how the lighter ales would taste right afterwards. lot of different styles represented here which is a good thing. that's the best way to get a feel for what styles you like. you will find that your tastes will constantly develop as well.

thx. I'm planning on having this selection throughout the weekend. it will be hard, but I'm gonna limit myself to the "fancy" stuff to one or two per day. Should I get tipsy, I have a 12er of Sam Adams in the fridge I can break into, but I wanna start new stuff with a clean palate.I'm saving the Chimay for tomorrow, so I think I'll start with the Liberty. changed my mind. I'm gonna start with the Stout.

 

[3C's]

Start with the lighter beers and work up to the heavier ones. Also depends on how many you plan on drinking in one night. If you were thinking about having say, 2 per night, I'd do the liberty ale first, then a Chimay. Never had the Tucher, but it sounds good. Passed through Nurnberg once. Maybe have the Tommyknocker and the Shipyard stout the same night. I haven't found a good beer from Tommyknocker yet, and Shipyard hasn't been overwhelming either.

Anyone had any Helmar Big League Brew? I'm a vintage baseball nerd, and their bottles and carriers depict early 20th century ballplayers. Pretty cool. Beer was pretty good, too. Then I had some Warsteiner.

But now I'm drinking Budweiser. I've poked my head in quite a bit looking for new beers. I've tried a variety of microbrews and imports, and I keep coming back to Bud. I LOVE IT AND THERES NOTHING YOU'RE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111

so I split one Chimay with the wife and just finished the other. Feeling a bit buzzed ater 1.5 beers. Good stuff, but I think I liked the Cinq Cents better (it was the grand reserve - blue label - tonight). Chimay makes Miller Lite taste like sandpaper.

I stayed close to Nurenburg for a week on my honeymoon and had quite a bit of Tucher then - good stuff. Plus, the importer for Tucher is right here in Boynton Beach, my home town, so it's pretty easily available here.The Tommyknocker - I went to a wedding this summer in Boulder, CO and they served the Tommyknocker Maple at the pre-game. I thought it wa pretty nice with the maple undertones, but my wife was knocked up and couldn't have any. So, I bought that one for her, mostly.I think it's Sam Adams from here on out the rest of the night.

any of you beer guys try Rauchbier? The Tucher reminds me of it - not in taste, but from my honeymoon. We spent a day in Bamburg, Germany which is a small town with 5 breweries hundreds of years old, an awesome cathedral, cool olde tymie stuff, etc. They have the Rauchbier almost exclusively there, and it's some weird stuff. It reminded me of eating a grilled sausage while I was drinking the beer with the smokey taste. I didn't like it, but by the time I was done with my first I was ready for a second. Definately an acquired taste, but a taste easily acquired after on beer.Anyways, they carry Schlenkerla at the new beer/wine store that I just found, and I'll be drinking more of this stuff in the future.

Yep. Bamberg is where I was going when I passed through Nurnberg. A of a couple of my buddies getting ready to drink a smoky beer.

:highfive: Pretty sure I've been to that same brewery - looks familiar. It's not Schlenkerla, but it's right next door, right?My wife in what I think might be the same brewery, enjoying a non-smoked beer. She claims that this picture captures the best beer she has ever had.

Had to verify (compared my pictures to the one's on their site...pretty sure it's Schlenkerla. Their picture. One I took a couple of minutes after the one I posted earlier. Also went to the new bar a couple doors down, Ambrausianum. Very good Hefe. One of my favorites.
