Re: Beer Thread 2.0
My wife came home the other day and said "I stopped and got beer". I was excited until I saw that she picked up a 12 of Michelob Ultra and a Sam Adams sampler pack that was half Sam Adams light. It reminded me of being a little kid and getting excited when there was a long fly ball only to be immediately disappointed when the OF caught it for an out.

I stopped at Binny's on my way out of town today and was quite successful. Barrel aged Prairie Bomb in a bottle to take home (among others) and a glass of coconut Victory at Sea while I was there.

Normally don't care for fruity beers, but had a Saugatuck Blueberry Maple Stout, and the Blueberry-Stout combo definitely played well.

Re: Beer Thread 2.0
At a bar for the first time in awhile.
"Do you guys have any 3 Floyds on tap?"
*confused look*
"No, but we do carry things like Heineken and Blue Moon."

Did you go to a bar in 2002? I haven't seen a bar not priding itself on a beer list in like 10 years.

Some little bar in Lansing. I think the bar tender was just completely clueless because they had some founders on tap.

Re: Beer Thread 2.0
Has anyone tried the Sculpin Pineapple or Mango? I'm slightly intrigued. I love the grapefruit but I'm not sure how sweet those other flavors are going to be.

Had Sculpin Pineapple, and I love it. I like it better than regular. I havent had Mango, but mango in IPA works really well, especially with Citra hops.

Pineapple is very good. Haven't had Mango. I like Grapefruit the best. The Habanero is good, but can be pretty spicy so it's hard to drink too much.

A friend of mine just told me he went to Sculpin and, since they have all 3 on tap they mixed them together which he said was really good. Oddly enough, he didn't have the Mango itself either. Maybe I'll get some of that too.

I didn't care for it. Grapefruit Sculpin is good, regular Sculpin I don't care for either. I'm also not a big fan of Ballast Point, so it could be that.

I had Three Floyds YumYum for the first time last night. It was really really good. I think it's my second favorite of theirs behind Zombie Dust and slightly in front of Robert the Bruce.

Ive found it difficult to find a session IPA that I really like. For whatever reason most of the ones Ive had over the last couple years have a hop profile I just dont care for. Yum Yum was definitely one of the better ones.

Re: Beer Thread 2.0
Recently made my first homebrew, a maple porter. Turned out surprisingly well, though a little flat. Letting them carbonate in the bottles a little longer. Shocked it took me so long to brew on my own (I've helped some friends brew here and there previously).

Re: Beer Thread 2.0
It's always tempting to start drinking the homebrews quick, but that extra 1-2 weeks of carbonation is huge, I've found. I think the key is getting a brewing pipeline going so you can give the beer the right time to ferment and carbonate and not be tempted to rush the process.

Re: Beer Thread 2.0
3 weeks is my typical time for achieving good carbonation. Ill stick one in the fridge each week just to test the carbonation levels, but it usually always takes 3 weeks.
If you find that you are getting over-carbonation, chances are you arent leaving your beer in the primary long enough, so increase that by an extra week, and that should solve the problem.
