We have a local craft brewer that makes a cherry triple to die for. Not sure whats going on with the recipe cuz sometimes its sour and sometimes its sweet but always very very good. Most of his other brews are so so but does make a good coconut porter

 

[begreen]

I'm still a neophyte and learning, but I like to experiment and see what works. So far there haven't been any losers.

I'd love to get the recipe for the cherry triple. That sounds intriguing and we have a lot of cherry trees. My best apple cider this year had cherries in the secondary.

 

[fbelec]

apple cherry cider sounds awsum

 

[begreen]

I have to admit it's delicious. I think this will be a regular.

Nope, but now I will

Tried a few new selections from Lancaster brewery and Rusty Rail brewery. Rust rail has some interesting flavors ,their 2 coffee offerings are unique. Better than most. <Lancaster has a few good ones too, some good stouts .Alcohol content range from high around 9% to medium of 5%.

I went on a work trip to Ohio last month, had my first ever beers from Great Lakes Brewing Co....good stuff, wish I could get it in NJ.

Miller light since 1973, in a pilsner glass. Good to the last drop !

 

[Jan Pijpelink]

My homebrew, Belgian beers and some domestic brewed IPA's.

I avoid everything with the words Light or Lite in it.

Yes, we enjoy making our own too. Have a honey porter now in the carboy. That said we are fortunate to have tons of great microbreweries in the area. Some explore pretty exotic recipes and others just make fine brew.

I started brewing a few months ago. Currently I have my 7th batch in the fermenter, an Ale/Lager style. I started out bottling but will fill my 1st keg with the new batch.

Kona brewing company "big wave" to date the best I have had in an easy drinking beer. Been suckin it down like my pre epa stoves suck wood ! A case is like 32$ wich is like way too much but it beats the old trusty coors latte. Also I recently hit the brewery and got a growler. That's the way to do it. Just haven't found a growler station by me that's not full of hipsters. Ugh.

We are living in the golden age of beer. Before prohibition, there was great variety, but way less widespread knowledge, quality control, and availability of ingredients. My grandfather used to ferment his beer in an old washtub back in the darker times. I think some of the brewery companies sold malt extract to stay in business after beer became illegal. While I'm sure it got the job done, I bet he got some pretty funky flavors.

Then came the era of golden pilsners, I remember when Michelob was about as close to a craft beer as you could get. Ha!

Thank you, Charlie Papazian!

Lancasters double chocolate stout is interesting,its hard to get that one right ,Sam addams does a good job on that one as well.

 

[begreen]

I made a chocolate milk stout last year. It went very quickly!

Asheville, NC has a very good beer scene & several new breweries opening. A lot of good microbreweries already there.
Highland Brewing company has a Black Mocha Stout I am fond of. Chocolate & coffee overtones & right amount of bitterness. Good stuff.
