I just published my new book, "Bavarian Brewing in the 19th Century: A Reference Guide". It is available on Amazon worldwide, both as paperback and Kindle e-book.
Please note that this is properly nerdy beer stuff.

@bitprophet those pint glasses are sick!

A quick Google search found them on thinkgeek, but unfortunately,they are Out of Business.
Any Idea if they are still available anywhere in the web?

@UnderTheDome No idea sadly! Mine are super old now and probably did come from thinkgeek originally.

In a bit of a change of tone, here's me lamenting about my recent frustrations about liquid yeast and what consequences I'm drawing from it. https://dafteejit.com/2024/03/liquid-yeast-why-do-i-even-bother/

@akrennmair my understanding is that there's basically 2 historical lager strains (saaz and frohberg) and everything being sold is just a variation of one or the other. Maybe there are some minute differences but...

@akrennmair I see White Labs will release dry WLP860. Lately my favorite lager yeast, and what I’m going to use in my next Vienna Lager. If I can get in dry form in NZ then I will switch to that instead of harvesting and managing liquid yeast.

I still have a love/hate relationship with WLP800, recently using WLP802 instead. Tempted to switch to Mangrove Jack M84 for my Czech beers and just be done with liquid yeasts for those also.

Only remaining - WLP810 for Anchor Steam. Maybe will try M54

Second beer Vienna Lager after 50 days of lagering, natural carbonation. I didn’t rack to a new keg, just moved this up from barn 48 hours ago, some yeast cloudiness. Rich, round mouthfeel with subtle undertone that reminds me of caramel, then much later some lingering bitterness. Smooth bubbles. 1870 recipe from @akrennmair

Third beer of the evening - Märzen. This is one of my favorite beers of all time and this recipe from Dan Gordon is such a great gift to brewers. Love it and will brew it often enough to always have on tap.

150 days in the keg. Brewing another in September to drink in March.

I see a couple of Ottawa hits among the 2024 World Beer Cup winners:

Tooth & Nail Brewing has a saison-style beer called "Valor" that picked up a gold for that category.

Also local Flora Hall Brewing picked up a silver for their "English Ordinary Bitter." Notable in a contest with global participation.

I'm a fan of both of those styles, so hope to try them over the course of the summer if they keep making them. I frequent T&N but have yet to try Flora Hall's wares.

@darwinwoodka thanks for boosting that World Beer cup toot - that gives me something interesting to seek out locally over coming months.

The local award winners in that big beer competition for your beverage pleasure:

: just visited FloraHall and found them very unpleasant, just for the simplest customer interaction! Buyer beware!

It's been so long since I've had any of them that it probably is time for a reevaluation.

This is not the colour a beer should have. It was remarkably tasty though.

Brought my dad out of his assisted living facility for a and to watch some . He’s essentially the only one in the facility that gets out to the bar, which is the place he feels most ”normal.” He was on two years ago so we said fuck it and started bringing him out here, and well, we’re still going. He’s a mini celebrity here, especially among the bartenders and regulars.

@GPJohnston @rscottjones Strange the way our bodies work.

Back in the day I hated hoppy beers. Now I can’t abide a beer without enough hops. They even help settle my stomach when it’s grumpy.

Marijuana smoke, otoh, used to smell great. Now it stuffs up my nose something fierce. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@alexburch I'm a member and they give us a $15 off deal for new customers (and it gives me a discount, too). I don't think it counts for a membership, but might be useful if you wanted to get a six pack or two of something they don't offer in stores. You'll probably pay about the same as in store prices after shipping with the discount. (Also, please feel no pressure to use this - I really don't need it on my end, but felt I should disclose it.)

alexburch,

@vwbusguy thanks! I’ll certainly give this a look the next time I get paid!

A beer style question:

In Charlie Papazian's The Complete Joy of Home Brewing, he describes an Irish beer style, "Foreign (Export) Stout," with an ABV range of 5.7 to 9.3%. I'm used to seeing regular dry stouts (3.5 to 5% ABV) and imperial stouts (9 to 12% ABV) but not much in between. Are there any commercially-brewed "Foreign (Export) Stout"-style beers that are available in the western part of the USA? I'd like to try one and see if this might be the next style of beer I brew.

I just order a copy from Powell's Books in Portland, Oregon. I'm definitely looking forward to reading it!

Drinking a Bruery Bananas - Rum Barrel-aged imperial stout with graham crackers, bananas, brown sugar, milk sugar, and Tahitian vanilla beans - 13.3%

Rum hits up front, but the beer just becomes super sweet. It's still tasty, just not something I need in a 750mL bottle

@phil_smith Looks like Caffrey's may well have gone a similar way at the hands of Molson Coors https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffrey%27s_Irish_Ale
