Comercial tasting and Brewery visit

[n87]

OK... Sunday 26th.

From that list, I think Dark Euro Lagers would be interesting.
not that much of a sour fan, although I know Yogi is


Also happy to host.

 

[Peter80]

Sounds good. So does that mean we all need to bring a different exaple of a dark lager and then something else?

 

[n87]

Thats the general idea.
If we decide on the Dark Euro Lager that is... you happy with it? or would you like to put a vote in for something else?

 

[Peter80]

No i am good with that. I will bring some extras that i have in the fridge. I have from holegate hop tart, road trip IPA or norton lager and from hargraves hill heff and golden ale. Not really to the styles but might be good to sample.

 

[n87]

We still all keen for this?

endisneigh, you still keen to host?
Im quite happy to (easier to stumble home)

I suppose i had better go and get a couple of beers on Saturday.

Ill grab the snags if someone can grab the rolls and anything else required

I talked to Yogi, and i believe his response was '****, how did i miss that?'
im not sure if he will be able to get there.

I'm still game! Also need to grab a few beers. I'll see if I can rustle up some new guys - they're out there, lurking...

That said, also open to pushing it back a week or two if it suits people......

People?

 

[Peter80]

I can not push back a week, but i can always make another meeting if it suits better.

If not moving the date i will bring the rolls.

 

[n87]

If everyone is still keen, may as well keep to schedule, otherwise it's never going to happen

agreed.....

 

[Peter80]

Hope we are still going for dark larger. Unable to get Euro versions as i am a long way from a bottlo and this is all i could find. Hopefully still close to style and they get here in time.

Inappropriate Touching 6.5% by Hawkers / Edge / Kaiju! / Evil Twin / Baird

Its a 'style' not a literal rule
A European dark lager (style) is not necessary a dark lager from europe

BJCP guidelines here: http://www.bjcp.org/docs/2015_Guidelines_Beer.pdf
list schwartzbeir and munich dunkel.

There are plenty of these styles done by local breweries.
I know Montheths do a 'Black Beer' (schwartzbeir)

 

[[email protected]]

We are!!

Good work - I've just been out to Dan's and picked up three different european dark lagers... one (czech?) schwartzbier (that we can compare with the one I have on tap), a Kozel dark, and a Weihenstephan Tradition Bayrisch Dunkel.

Might have another new joiner as well. will let you know.

 

[fungrel]

I'm a lurker, but dates unfortunately don't match up with my free time at the moment.

Still have a gift from edisnigh, still haven't turned that esky into a jockey box.



I'm keen to taste beers that will be entered into the state comp in August, perhaps a meet around that time if anyone else is entering beers?

 

[n87]

I think an early August meet would be good
Wifey is due to bust start of September, so I think I will need to be (relatively) dry around that time

 

[[email protected]]

I'll grab the rolls and some sauces.....

 

[n87]

Had a good time, some wonderful beers... and some infected ones :blink:

Inappropriate touching was well recieved

I think the Inappropriate Touching Schwartzbeir and King Goblin were the stand outs for me.
The Kostritzer Schwartzbeir was quite disappointing, and not what I remembered it to be.
Thanks Peter for bringing such a selection

I will create a new thread for the August meet

 

[[email protected]]

yup, it was a good session - I enjoyed the sours, especially the Sierra Nevada Cactus/grapefruit one, although I think I was alone there. Is that what you meant by infected?

The Kostritzer was almost at its "best by" date, and a year in the bottle, so not exactly fresh.

Other good beers were the Kozel, the Weihenstephan Tradition Bayrisch Dunkel - as far as dark lagers go anyway.....
