Pilsner Urquell

The original pilsner, still the best, now in brown bottles.

That's amazing to read. I can't believe it took them this long to realize that.

I first had a green bottle of it about 20 years ago based on reputation and thought it was awful. Skunky, of course. A couple years later, I found it on draught at The Flying Saucer and couldn't believe I was drinking the same product. Light texture, delicate body, floral aromas and soft, light bready/caramel-y Euro hops. Thought the same thing after you tipped me off a few years ago when Stella started packaging in 14.9 ounce cans.

Good, um, "session" beer for four hours of football.

From 9/28/10:

Milk Stout-Left Hand Brewing

I didn't have one of these at Brunchgate Saturday (just too &*%$ing hot) but dpslaw was kind enough to include one in my going away package so I enjoyed it last PM on a slightly cooler fall evening. For folks who don't like "dark" beers, you might wish to give this a try. Ozzie had one and liked it. I think it was the sweetness of the brew from the lactose sugar used in the brewing process. It is almost black, slighly viscous and has the aromas and tastes expected from a stout with a bit of coffee and a bit of dark chocolate. Its texture is enhanced by the use of oats in the brewing process which render it almost silky smooth. IBU about 40 and ABV probably <6%. Great with all the usual dessert suspects of CCC, brownies or chocolate chip pee-can pie or by itself. A scoop of vanilla ice cream would feel right at home in 4-6 ounces of this brew .

From tonight:

Nitro Milk Stout-Left Hand Brewing

I'm not sure much has changed in almost 6 year except they've added Nitro to the name and I guess figured out how to put nitro in the bottles without a widget like some of those from Great Britain . Similar appearance/pour/aromas/mouthfeel and tastes. I guessed IBUs wrong 6 years ago as they state 25 and the ABV is listed at 6%. Here's the ingredient list:

Malt: Pale 2-row, Crystal, Munich, Roasted Barley, Flaked Oats, Flaked Barley and Chocolate
Hops: Magnum and US Goldings

A tip of the pint glass to August West for this trader after the NCCU game.

It is going to be a thing. 8% ABV.

I'm just guessing here, but I have a sneaky feeling that by the time Gano's kick sailed wide left, he moved on to something a bit less "sessionable" . . . .

Yes, please. I'll have 2 bombers, thank you.

Order placed. Not waiting in that line again this year though...

But think about how many drafts of "brewery only" products you could sip while you wait .

Meh, I'll just skip the line and head straight to the taps

[devildeac]

No tasting tonight .

Devil-Deac game tailgate tomorrow. Stay tuned.

That was going to be my plan, but I will be in Derm for the fball game with the cheaters. I would also expect that there will be as little as a one bottle limit on the new one, so forget about even trying it if you are not present. I still have some left from the last 2 years that I enjoy drinking for a change of pace. I think I can still wrangle a case of the regular stuff this year to share, but that may be it.

94 degree temps? Drink responsibly....

94 degree temps? Drink responsibly...

Thanks! Believe it or not, I always do. Probably will have 2-3 beers total from 1300-1530, plus 2-3 bottles of water, a soft drink and a couple plates of food. The invitation is always open for you to join us for any tailgate/game this fall.

[devildeac]

Here's to hoping we make several more PATs today than beers consumed by our tailgate tasters.

I can knock 'em back with the best of 'em (believe me!), but I'll always take more PAT's than beer.

Not today. Don't even think I want a nightcap after that @#$%show at WW today.
