SL83's Extended and Ongoing Beer Thread
- Thread starter SL83
- Start date
here's some beers I picked up recently and some I'm aging.
thomas hardy: 2008 batch i'm aging, I'll drink it next year after the brewery shuts down..
What?! I'm going to have to stock up if that's the case.
I need to stop reading these threads at work. Fuck do I want a beer, and it's 11am
Good morning.
I love my local beers.
I've had all of the Sierra Nevada's even the new Black Label which is a rich stout, Mmm.
Weed has a good cheap beer with a kick, Lost coast is shitty beer, so no touchy.
Mendocino IPA is not my cup of beer, so I hear you on that.
All in all, I keep falling back to my Sierra Nevada (Dirt cheep since my co-worker's son is a brew master).

ideally, you should be pouring your beer straight down the middle (not down the sides like a lot of people do to reduce head) to both see the beer "naturally" and to let it open up, a bit like wine. i've never seen anywhere near this amount of head on Gulden Draak though, even an aggressive pour only yields about two fingers worth. so that pic is a bit sensationalized for marketing purposes.
this thread talked me into having one of my oatmeal stouts
Hey Alv, I want to try this but have 2 questions:
How cold should it be served?
Should I pour it down the middle like stigs suggested?

pour it and try chilled (~45) and let it warm up to 50-55...i like tasting a beer as it warms and seeing which flavors open up at certain temps
i would pour the Oatmeal Stout accordingly to create about 1.5"-2" of head
