Where is the Beer Thread?
In the interim, or in the absence of one, Cassels has done it again.
They've won the he best stout, therefore the best beer in word gong for the second year running.

I’m not a fan of stout, ergo it can’t even qualify as a contender for best beer in the word.Ted. wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 6:14 am In the interim, or in the absence of one, Cassels has done it again.

But congrats on starting an important thread
At my wedding, the missus planned all the food and booze around where we had met and our stories from our travels thereafter. Part of this was represented by the Alaskan Brewing Co. I'm partial to the Alaskan White, meself, but all the guests agreed that nearly everything they make is absolutely wonderful.

I am a fan, at least of good ones. I'm also a fan of porter, IPAs, APAs, pilsner, bitter, lager, scotch ale, pale ale, brown ale, Belgium ales, German and British beer in general.Un Pilier wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 9:08 pmI’m not a fan of stout, ergo it can’t even qualify as a contender for best beer in the word.Ted. wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 6:14 am In the interim, or in the absence of one, Cassels has done it again.

However, I do not especially like sours, though I can tolerate some.
That's a bugger. I don't seem to be able to get it here, in NZ, but I will make enquiries.Ali Cadoo wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 2:56 am At my wedding, the missus planned all the food and booze around where we had met and our stories from our travels thereafter.

Not a fan of sours either. Although some have surprised.
Garage Project has been on fire lately, two new Hapi sessions (which were the standout beers of last year) then sunrise valley this year (currently highest rated NZ beer on untappd) and now they release another crossover with trillium brewing from the US. A double hazy at 8% abv
I'll be buying some this week
From Upper Moutere’s Freestyle Farm we travel to America’s Yakima Valley for our second hop harvest collaboration with East Coast brewing legends Trillium.
A hop free boil and massive dry hop addition of hand selected Mosaic and Citra create a giant juicy hazy homage to the hop growing mecca of Yakima Valley.

You can get a rough idea of the flavour of a beer by looking at the hops used. Citra is very citrussy (duh!) and Mosaic is fruity.Un Pilier wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 8:25 pmOJ and Mango??JPNZ wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 7:59 pm Garage Project has been on fire lately, two new Hapi sessions (which were the standout beers of last year) then sunrise valley this year (currently highest rated NZ beer on untappd) and now they release another crossover with trillium brewing from the US.

Technically its a double new england IPA. Smoothie/Milkshake IPAs have lactose, the above doesn't. But whatever floats your boat.
Indeed they are, they are producing some legendary beers

Nice! There appears to be an odd one out though.
Had the Parrotdog Rodney West Coast IPA last night. Very easy. Was nice to drink something that wasn't hazy for a change.

Their White Stout in the cream and red can takes a bit to get your head around. As golden as any lager, yet a coffee stout. Confusing to the brain.Fat Old Git wrote: ↑Thu Sep 17, 2020 7:22 am Had the Parrotdog Rodney West Coast IPA last night. Very easy. Was nice to drink something that wasn't hazy for a change.

I will have to look out for that. I have a fridge full of Behemoth brews at the moment thanks to an excellent deal from Beer Hug.
Don't try sculling that bottle of Out Of The Woods. The first sip will give you a twitch, the second a tick, by the fourth you'll be on your way.
I speak to him fairly regularly and he wants everyone to know he's given up beer and now only drinks cocktails.
That seems to be perfectly plausible.
ASMO, can we have a nodding emoticon, please?

I got the lockdown box from Brew By Numbers last week. £54 for 24 beers. That's pretty good value. The Pilsner is unexceptional but all the others are very good, especially the Imperial Gose.
A very good mate of mine, who HH also knows has started this recently - very good

The fleeting sun from boxcar is as good as I've tasted
