A SAMPLE OF MY BELGIAN PALE ALE I’m glad my CO2 ran out, cause it gave the beer time to cold crash and clear out. LOOK AT HOW CLEAR THAT BEER IS.

w33dprincess: planetearthisblue: I can’t wait to watch this. I’ve read a couple of great reviews. i was disappointed…it brought up many more questions than it answered (and the filmmakers, despite being at the screening i saw, didn’t seem to be able to answer them). i’m getting a lot more out of reading “lords of chaos,” despite it disturbing the hell out of me. Metal: a Headbanger’s Journey is a fucking fantastic metal documentary. It does a decent job of covering both death metal and black metal to a reasonable degree for a single documentary. Shit, it’s not bad about covering ALL of metal to some degree. I’m still planning on seeing this, despite my hopes not being terribly high for it. The true black metal adherents are egocentric and narcissistic, so watching interviews with them is pretty shitty. They do write some sick tunes though.

Last night my pumpkin spice ale was voted the best spice beer at a homebrewers meetup. I won thirty pounds of Maris Otter care of the Wynkoop Brewing Company. I am WAY STOKED.

The Natural Progression of a Beer Palate - BeerAdvocate

capcatchers:

sostark:

A. Generally [beer enthusiasts] begin their explorations into better beers through the maltier and sweeter styles, like the stouts, porters, ambers, etc.. This is most likely because these beers mostly resemble foods and drinks that people are already used to: coffee, bread, caramel and chocolate flavors, etc..

B. Next, as the palate gets familiar with beer-related taste profiles, the more extreme and distinct styles are preferred, like an IPA, DIPA, Strong Ale, Barleywine, RIS. Usually this happens first with the malt bombs and progresses to the hoppier styles.

C. Third, the more obscure beers and out of the ordinary flavors become the target, like Sour Ales, Gruits, Cask Beers, and other styles that are hard to get into. The basis of knowledge that comes from A and B is what allows a full appreciation of these styles.

D. lastly, the progression comes full circle and the well-done lighter styles are truly appreciated for what they are: like a good Czech Pils or a good Kolsch. This could be because the palate has been dialed into what beer should be, and can pick it out of the most subtle styles.

I think I might be transitioning from C to D?
