The Nice Beer Thread

Unfortunately Mikkeller's opening had to be postponed, so a neighbouring bar is doing a tap takeover with the first 700 instead of 300 free

[JC!]

They're definitely one of the best in the country. Moving to a massive new brewery soon too so could get even better.

I think they're fantastic alright. Wish they did cans though

I'd get on that Hill Farmstead Arthur easy if I was going to that. Could sell out quick.

Nice, i hadn't given it a proper look over.
Had the Vanilla Shake when they were giving out free ones to a big mob spilled out on the street. Heavy, beautiful stuff.
Definitely going to try the Bourbon version, and a sour.
Should be nicer sitting down with no sense or urgency.

[Eucrid]

Do you get a full glass at these events you usually? I was looking at Beavertowns festival coming up in the summer and the line up of breweries is amazing but the servings are tiny, sounds like more hassle than fun.

[Phierstarter]

Depends on the beer. 0.2 for strong stuff, 0.3 for regular. Maybe 0.1 for strong stuff at a festival if it's something barrel aged or rare.

[Eucrid]

Seems to be the way a lot do it. At least they're staggered. Some just do the small size(s). I really hope the Irish festivals don't go that way. I'd like a combo system. Full pints or halfs for normal stuff and then small sizes for the 10%s.

[Phierstarter]

Ah i was still thinking 0.3 for up to about 7%. Sure ~5% and it should be 0.5.
If the selection is decent you'll be thankful for 0.3s.

[Phierstarter]

BrewDog released a paradox rye today. That's a 0.2, but 15% (and nice, but quite boozey)

New England IPAs seem to be all the rage at the moment, super fruity yet sessionable, I'm a fan.

[Eucrid]

I've yet to have one I really liked, including one I made. I'm still open to trying to find a good one but I'm not on the hype train at all.

[Phierstarter]

You're just going to have to go to the beer capital of Europe then
btw i had no idea i was drinking a new thing until i had one recently and enjoyed it so much i looked it up after.

[Eucrid]

You're just going to have to go to the beer capital of Europe then

Brussels, London, Prague, Munich, Dublin?

[Phierstarter]

Nein.

[Phierstarter]

Buddelship brewery is really hard to find. Had to give up, too risky. I've a lift home in 90 minutes and the driver doesn't speak English. Next time

[Phierstarter]

Dog F. Chili and cognac i think. 17.5%, possibly the highest I've gone. Too early into the class to comment.
