Sink ships.

Old military expression.

54'40"

Band, US history or beer? (any? all?)

Had to research and found all three elements in my query could apply.

Was riffing on the military comments.

Thanks! I won't contact Bob Green to keelhaul you then.

(no threat intended; simply using one of my favorite expressions; some folks have been/felt threatened by some past comments, but not mine as I *think* the emojis above have kept me out of trouble *most* of the time)

Actually I was rather surprised I found a 54/40 beer reference, but, then again, not much surprises me anymore about beer/brewery names and/or ingredients .

So I found myself perusing the beer section of 2 stores last night looking for some of the Boulevard beers mentioned here. I need to pay more attention and search for recommendations quicker - they didn't have any of the ones I was looking for last night.

Welcome to the Dark Side (or would that be the Light Side? ) of Ymm, Beer. (insert diabolical laughter here and a )

Any update on a February victim, err, host/hostess?

I haven't gotten a response from the PM sent to the choice discussed during VPN. Hoping they are considering. I guess, if I don't get a response from the PM sent by Saturday, I should select another suspect. Any suggestions?

Check your PM.

Hazy IPAs, imperial stouts and sours seem to be 75% of what everyone is drinking these days. What are the non-sexy styles you still enjoy, or maybe a style that you miss that is now hard to find?

Examples: ESB, amber ale, Irish red, brown ales, lagers.

From 11/28/19:



From dinner tonight:

Honey Ginger-Ardent Craft Ales

Amazed this didn't come from accfan.

This is really a low cat 3 beer as the flavors match so well and it's amazingly easy to quaff. Enjoyed with a garden salad and a Buffalo chicken sandwich for dinner.

I did send you three last trade, one for each of you, RJ and fuse (the delivery with the raspberry stouts.)

What you suggest is probably a reasonable breakdown, maybe adding IIPAs if we're dividing up the IPA category even more.

I'll drink whatever folks trade me.

I ended up with one from dd, and have it in the queue for drinking soon.

Badly phrased/explained on my part. I found an old post from 2019 and those Honey Gingers were ones our older daughter and her husband muled back from RVA when they visited about 15 months ago. Almost everything else Ardent has been yours with Nrrrrvous possibly sneaking a couple in during one or two trading sessions.

I believe you'll/I'll be impressed. Even our son was greatly impressed with the Ardent Honey Ginger and he has become quite the "big beer" snob and he did *not* inherit that from Mama.

Another temperature discussion/recommendation:

"Wheat beers come in many forms: American wheat ale; Belgian-style wit; Berliner-style weisse, and perhaps the best known, the hefeweizen. For the most part, these cloudy, yeasty brews are best served between 40 and 45 degrees. For the hefe, which goes lighter on hop flavor and heavier on yeast-driven banana and clove aromas, slightly warmer temperatures are acceptable. Keep in mind, though, that you’ll be wrapping your hands around that big, vase-like glass, which will add heat."

No shoveling involved and that chore can be reserved for more than snow.

[devildeac]

Sours now:

"Sour, tart, and funky ales come in many forms — in fact, they are near infinite by nature — and so, too, can their ideal serving temps vary. An American brett ale, for example, can range from fruity and refreshing to leathery and funky, the former of which you may want to play up with a warmer temperature, close to 55 degrees, and the latter you may want to subdue with a lower 45 degrees. Or, maybe leather’s your thing and you want that flavor turned up all the way. It’s really up to the imbiber in this wild beer style."

There are other types of sours, too...

I know I will be. Because I have had it before.

Well, without the wrapper, of course:
