I haven’t had a beer in 52 days. There have been four million new releases in that time.
― Jeff, Friday, 23 February 2018 22:12 (six years ago) link
many will be waiting for you, should you return
many others will be gone forever but they weren’t that great anyway

I had one of these tonight

It tasted like soap

I don’t think I’d be brave enough to try a beer with lavender
― calstars, Thursday, 1 March 2018 11:51 (six years ago) link
perhaps one of the artisans who makes soap with beer in it can close the circle

I had a cider with lavender and charcoal in it (it was black, I was intrigued) and it was good. 101 Cider in SoCal.
― nickn, Thursday, 1 March 2018 17:58 (six years ago) link
It was also probiotic, which almost made me avoid it, but the intrigue outweighed the eye-roll factor. And they had a limited tap menu.

I don't think I've ever liked a foodstuff - drink, cake, cookie, savory entree - with lavender in it. It's just gross and smells like an underwear drawer freshener.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 1 March 2018 18:33 (six years ago) link
lavender is good in a sour or a cider

I hate beer with hibiscus flavors.
― Jeff, Thursday, 1 March 2018 18:36 (six years ago) link
vanilla is really the thing i don't like in beer. it's hard to buy a stout or porter these days without it being advertised like some dessert milkshake
― marcos, Thursday, 1 March 2018 18:37 (six years ago) link
that icelandic one is p dece and i don't recall any vanilla in it and it is widely available

Only grassroots I’ve had is Convival Suarez. That was in 2013, don’t remember anything about it. Other than it was at call all destroyer’s home.

i love floral flavors in beer and other stuff though it's easy to mess up. drinking two vintages of mamouche at my bachelor party is a cherished memory.

not sure I've had lavender in food, but hibiscus is good imo
― mh, Thursday, 1 March 2018 19:29 (six years ago) link
It is a bit sour, and the lavender flavor wasn't pronounced. 101 Cider House is the brewery, and Black Dog is that specific one. WF used to carry but hasn't for months, but I think BevMo does. We're getting a Total Wine & More in town soon, so I'm expecting lots of new things to try.

I'm guessing that Toppling Goliath has their on-site production ramped up now, judging from the number of variations on their beers I've seen on tap lately!
Golden Nugget w/Mosaic hops was really good

They have a huge new brewing facility across from the Decorah airport. The original location in downtown Decorah is pretty tiny.

A fellow patron at the bar was telling me about it! Sounds nice.
― mh, Monday, 2 April 2018 22:27 (six years ago) link
now I'm wondering if you were the dude at the bar
Scottish Campervan Brewery's Himalaya Gose 4% on draft (5/5) is a darn near perfect Gose. Sea salty freshness. I was at a beer fest a couple weeks ago, and I used about half my tokens on refills of this. Subsequent bottles were also nearly too drinkable.
Other nice sour discoveries:
Danish - To Øl Mr. Blue 2018 Edition (500ml can) 9% - this stuff is a dangerous Berliner Weisse with blackberries and acais and hits you perfectly in the cheeks - one of my favourite high ABV beers ever (4/5)
Swedish - Brekeriet Picnic Sunrise (bottle) 2.7% - tart raspberry but eminently drinkable (4/5)
Irish - White Hag - The Puca Berries, Hibiscus & Ginger Sour (can) 3.6% - doesn't even taste like beer but this is some nice refreshing sour juice (3/5)
