I've only had supplication. It's nice but one of those hard to find beers so I wouldn't go out of my way for it
Will try to do a little more drinking than usual this weekend

I joined in 2007. I was at one of the lowest points in my life and was googling things like "I am sad" and "I am lonely" etc. One day I made a conscious decision to turn that around and google things that I actually liked instead, and I googled "I love music". It was a move that exponentially enriched my life.― how's life, Friday, 10 February 2017 00:42 (eight hours ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

I posted 15 years ago with a thread that reflected my age and naivete. I got made fun of for liking Tori Amos and some ilxors were pretty mean. Didn't post for 15 years but lurked the whole time and honestly love this place.― Everything Moves Towards The Sun (Ross), Friday, 10 February 2017 01:08 (seven hours ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

oh man! :/
you know some of the most 'canonical' ILM posters ever absolutely ADORE tori amos
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Friday, 10 February 2017 08:59 (seven years ago) link
lol I wasn't here 15 years ago but a couple of years after that one of my motivations was to set all you people right about Tori Amos
to no avail though - Tim F has to be one of ILM's greatest tastemakers, rightfully able to get most of the board to follow him wherever he goes, but even when he posts about Tori it's met with tumbleweeds (outside of the hardcore fans)

Boys for Pele >>>>> your fave
Only been lurking/posting for about five years but this place always seemed way more in to Tori than anywhere else.

this is so sweet & heartwarming, & should def be the advert that ilx aspires to deserve

I've been listening to Tori quite a bit lately. I have had a few beers in the past week or so: PBR, Tecate, oh and a Lagunitas something or other that was free at work.

those sound like the beer equiv of jute gyte

not sour enough
― ogmor, Friday, 10 February 2017 12:08 (seven years ago) link
jute gyte is closer to rodenbach grand cru (and i've long associated it with the complexity and obsession-forming violence of higher-tier belgian sour) - no idea how it was conceived of or made but it's the greatest stuff out there. and yes, xposted by ogmor there in concordance
novelty ales* are more like the weird wonky artpop i get gleefully distracted by every year - see for instance blanche blanche blanche
*i appreciate that yesterday's novelty ales can become tomorrow's neoclassical masterpieces and indeed the trend towards gooseberry gose is already creating a formidable canon, but i'm essentially talking about those ales whose value is anecdotal rather than savoury
― I Am In Atlanta And Thug Is Young (imago), Friday, 10 February 2017 12:16 (seven years ago) link
that does blanche x3 down rather though. the analogy is increasingly flawed the further one escapes formalism
― I Am In Atlanta And Thug Is Young (imago), Friday, 10 February 2017 12:19 (seven years ago) link
or perhaps blanche x3, connan mockasin etc are among the gooseberry goses and the coriander umbels are the ones that don't stick despite an initial flourish - ingenious gimmicks like the band pivot from a while back
it doesn't quite settle along esoteric vs exoteric lines, but we are in the realm of high formal anguish

the beer that would least fit my personality would be.....a smoked porter. with bacon.
i am definitely a sourpuss.

In the middle of the old part of Bamberg, directly beneath the mighty cathedral, one can find the historic smoked beer brewery Schlenkerla. First mentioned in 1405 and now run by the Trum family in the 6th generation, it is the fountain of Original Schlenkerla Smokebeer (in German language it's called "Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier"). The smoked beer is here at the brewery tavern still being tapped directly from the wooden barrel according to old tradition.
"Even if the brew tastes somewhat strange at the first swallow, do not stop, because soon you will realize that your thirst will not decrease and your pleasure will visibly increase."
i've posted this before but it bears repeating.
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Friday, 10 February 2017 12:39 (seven years ago) link
that was definitely the first smoked beer i ever had. i didn't have too many though.
― scott seward, Friday, 10 February 2017 12:42 (seven years ago) link
me too. my girlfriend loves it though
i wonder which musical ideology that parting aphorism lines up most snugly to
― I Am In Atlanta And Thug Is Young (imago), Friday, 10 February 2017 12:43 (seven years ago) link
every time i read their site i just imagine myself strolling through bamberg on some cold winter day and wandering into the brewery to a big roaring fire and some wurst and beer, a sort of vision of the afterlife.

reminds me of..........i had one of those strange experiences recently where i put on a CD to check something out that i remember people raving about years ago and i kinda made one of those faces while it was playing like: ehhhhh, yeahhhhh, okayyyyyy.....i GET this. like a jaded jerk. and then a day later i thought....hmmm, MAYBE i'll play it one more time. heard one song that sounded better than the first time i played it. a day later i played that CD ten times in a row. and i was like WOW talk about the slow burn! it came out in 2003. an American indie rock album.
and that CD was.....

i don't know if its the smoked beer of indie rock records though.

they are probably better than Pavement or whoever.

I'm not sure why that record/band is a punchline here. That album is unique and special.

smoked beers are awesome
a few months ago i had this style of beer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grodziskie, a Polish smoked wheat beer and it was really good. strange to have a smoked beer that was very light, usually they are dark
― marcos, Friday, 10 February 2017 15:57 (seven years ago) link
gose is an amazing style of beer but the US market has been swamped with awful versions of it
I've heard of Dumpy's Rusty Nuts as a punchline many times, but had never actually heard them, so I just checked them out on youtube. My report: they sound exactly as you thought they would sound.
― Camaraderie at Arms Length, Friday, 10 February 2017 16:02 (seven years ago) link
I'm not that into beer but I was in Gösel in Germany last summer and really enjoyed the gose with cinnamon and salt I drank there

jjj turned me on to Paradox's Skully Barrel line which has varieties in it which will melt your face and others that are surprisingly quaffable.
