Just got some new beers today

[NA4BH]

The new beers must have been made from Gulf water. They have sludge on the bottom of the bottle. ;) Question is, Do I leave the sludge alone or is it made to be mixed up into solution before drinking? This stuff is like 10.5% alkyhaul. Ought to make for a good ass whoopin'.

Yep , drink that stuff , it'll make ya batter yer shrimp .

[kc7jty]

depends on the beer and age. bottle conditioning leaves some sediment. Sometimes when a big, full bodied beer has been on the shelf for a long time you actually get hard deposits in the bottom of the bottle.
I'm on a New Belgium Ranger IPA kick right now, pretty good for summer IPA.

Don't mix it up, but it won't hurt you to drink it either. It's just yeast left over from the krausening kräusening process that carbonates the beer in the bottle.

[KG4CGC]

Be careful. It's probably radicalized semen placed there by that guy who inseminates water bottles.

That's right up there with the guy that got caught humping his neighbor lady's goat.

[kc7jty]

Some Hefeweizens & Wits are supposed to be heavily cloudy. I remember seeing a New Belgium product that said pour half the bottle then swirl the rest to mix in the sediment before pouring the second half.

[NA4BH]

The three with the Goo are:

Southern Tier Imperial Gemini blended unfiltered ale
Southern Tier Imperial Iniquity black ale
Weyerbacher Slam Dunkel double dunkelweizen ale

Non Goo:

Coney Island Freaktoberfest
Nogne "O" India Pale Ale (Norway)
Nogne "O" #100 Barley Wine - style ale (Norway)

[al2n]

That is yeast sediment on the bottom of the bottles. It happens when beer is carbonated the old fashioned way. It is considered best not to mix it up, but you can drink it when you reach the bottom of the bottle if you wish. Great source of B vitamins.

[KG4CGC]

I miss the bottles of Hansa I used to get at the beer candy store back in the 80's. Had a Viking on the label. Made in Norway.

I'm not big on barleywine but some are quite good.

The temperatures are very important, if you drink these beers very cold you'll miss half the mouth party.

An Albi Vocabulary Advisory: Kräusening is the proper spelling of the term; it is German. It is properly pronounced "kroy-senning."


You're welcome.

[KC2UGV]

Since it's made from Gulf water, are you sure the sludge isn't oil?

That's a crock. Suicide levels at the Foxconn plant are actually lower than in Chinese society as a whole. And, BTW, Foxconn also builds stuff for HP, Dell, Lenovo and just about every other major consumer electronics company you can think of.

Not that Foxconn's management is a bunch of swell guys or anything--they're not, they're a bunch of thugs and I wish Apple still built it's products in the U.S. and Europe but there's no way they could do that and be competitive at all.

Of course. Americans cannot pronounce the most common German bier terms. "Bräu" is mispronounced "brow" -- as in "Lowenbrow" or "Huffbrow" -- so one can imagine how Kräusening would come out. "Bottle conditioned," on the other hand, sounds like something Billy Mays might have bruited in a TV spot.

The term is German, Bill. There is no effort.

As to Beligian beer, it may manage a second or third. Dutch biers are the best. And the Dutch are failed Germans. :snicker::snicker:

All a matter of taste, Billhelm. And, in my estimation, champagne and gatorade share many similarities, all bad. Unlike Don Ho, I prefer my wines sans bubbles, tiny or otherwise. Might as well drink Lancers.

No "dirt road" involved, Bill. You like bubbly; I don't. No value judgment in the comment. I put Moet and Lancers on the same shelf: Won't drink either. Pull the cork (or, increasingly, unscrew the cap!!) on a fine cabernet, and I will tilt the balloon with you 'til the edge of the table caresses my eye brows.

No, Bill. I said DUTCH is better than Belgie (IMO). Modern Germany has some excellent biers, but they are now mostly small, local breweries in small towns.

Had that Porterhouse last night. Tried a new butch who is hawking local Angus. Pricey but pretty good. Alas, no cabernet. Iced tea, unsweetened, with a lot of fresh lemon slices and a sprig of fresh mint.

You need to grow, Bill. Expand your gustatory horizons. Lightly crush the fresh mint leaves with a spoon, put them in the bottom of the chilled, empty glass, add ice, then the cold, unsweetened tea, and finally strain some fresh lemon. Stir briefly (don't shake). Veddy, veddy refreshing.

Bill, somewhere you posted about a beer you wish you could have. Tell me what it is and I will mail it to you (if it is available).

Geeze, I wish I had bought two of the previous mentioned beers. Damn that was good. And kicks butt at the same time.

[kc7jty]

The only beer I can think of I want to taste right now is New Belgium's La Folie. It's the price that keeps me away more than the availability. It's about $15 for 750 ml.
