At college my friends and I threw a Jim Jones Punch Party. A mix of that stuff and aviator sunglasses is as organized as we got.

But that said this is the BEER thead, flyfan.

No, then I am the one who is sorry. I didn't like beer until around my 23rd birthday. But now it's truly one of the best things about life itself.

Yep. Between that, having your own disposable income and being able to last longer than 15 minutes during sex it's not so bad really.

It's the rare beer with added spices I like, but the label alone would make me try one.

When that dinner happens, we'll have lots in common and beer will not be one of them.

you've been convinced that all that hops (which was only required to make the beer keep longer on big sailing voyages) actually tastes good. lots of people have been confused by that. i forgive you and wish you well in the future.

I believe hops (which yes, was a cheap option to cover the benefits of spicing the beer with nutmeg, et. al) is a tasty way to not just juxtapose the natural and complex sweetness of malt but also to stop it and leave the palate with something refreshing.

A well spiced lambic is tasty, but they lack the drinkability to me of a perfectly executed lager or the ale of my ancestors.

Still, your condescension is welcomed and I internet love you.

Hm, nothing more subjective than taste buds, but yeah. For me (and again, I think they're tasty) the palate experience of a lambic is a lingering one. With a lager, the hops follows the malt and cleanses the palate.

With an IPA, at least a good one, there are three distinct levels of hops. And while less cleansing than it is with a lager, the pine (how I would describe a nice strong hops finish in my favorite IPAs) do refresh the palate and leave you ready for the next sip.

Tasty stuff. This is one of the better Ontario made beers.




I still love my English ales.

wahh? why u talking about lambics? those are very rich fruit beers. there is a whole world of non-hoppy-pre-british-empire-putting too-much-hops-in-poop german and belgian beers, of which lambics might make up .2%.

me confused on where you're coming from, ma.

Speaking of hops..



For anyone in Ontario you can pick up a taster pack at the LCBO with these beers in them. They call the little pack "Historic Ales from Scotland". They use heather, spruce, and other things like that instead of hops. They are pretty interesting.

Coriander and orange peel have no business being anywhere near a real beer.

I'll give it a try

Last sampler I got was the ontario microbrew one with the King Pilsner, Cameron's cream ale, Stone Hammer Pale Ale, Flying Monkey's Hoptical Illusion and a couple other pale ales. I'd had the Hoptical illusion and Cream Ale before... Stone Hammer and King Pilsner were really good.

Still, none fill the void left by the loss of dogfish head.
