malty beers are delicious. Sour beers are awful. Only one id drink is Dogfishhead Seaquench ale and only on a hot summer day.
I find your ideas intriguing and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.People in Belgium don't know how to brew good beer and most lagers are flavorless.. Give me a good IPA, PORTER or STOUT.

Agree with this...I think the crush of super hopped / bittered beers has made the art of a well balanced beer totally unappreciated and unfortunately unprofitable for many breweries.There is no such thing as seasons for beer. Stouts are tasty year round.
IPA-bros wouldn't know a good beer from a bad beer - IBU and "whalez bro" are all they care about and it's making 'beer culture' and craft beer bars less appealing places to be.
What? I'm offended and I can't handle criticism. You either have really bad taste or you just haven't seen the light yet. I must convert you or heckle you into silence. Oh wait... you said sours and not NEIPA? Never mind then. Carry on.
21st amendment hell or high watermelon is probably the best I've had, I enjoy it though I don't consider it a "great" beer it's quite good in the summer heat. I brewed a more or less clone of it this summer and it got rave reviews from family and friends. I was actually really disappointed with new Belgium's take on a watermelon beer this summer. There's some others that taste off like candy or artificial.Watermelon wheat beers are gross, so far. Ive tried two different labels and both tasted sharp with an acetone-like smell.
rhys needs a safe space/quiet room. I live in So Cal and I've only tried one NEIPA, it was tasty, but nothing I would run out to get though. Lagunitas Sucks is still the best hopped beer I have ever had.

Contrarian opinion, or not, vorlauff is useless.
Yep it's all about continuous recirculation. Why do it for just a few minutes when you can do the whole mash that way?

That is hard to do using an igloo MT Oh well, brew on :rockin:
Pumpkin beers are disgusting.

Curious, do you dislike all pumpkin things, or just beer? I love it all but my Dad hates it, beer, coffee, pie, cookies etc just hates that flavor.Pumpkin beers are disgusting.

your taste buds must be burnt out. I love me a well crafted lager (San Adams comes to mind) and I love the Belgian yeasts. Fall is one of my favorite times of year because of the Marzen/Octoberfest beers available. Ballast Point's Dead Ringer is one of my favorites. I also love love dopple bachs.
All my opinions about beer change over time. I think I like IPAs now.
Barfywine: n
"Bar-fee-wien"
1. A very high alcohol IPA inexplicably and perversely marketed as a "Barleywine."

Do you now like specific IPAs that you used to hate, or did you find IPAs you liked?
Because I've found that the when the "Hops-Are-Meant-To-Be-Experienced-As-A-Seasoning-Not-A-Baseball-Bat-To-The-Face Heresy" expands into IPAs, the results actually come out pretty well. (IPAs I genuinely like: Sierra Nevada's Six Rights, and the two I've made. I've found a few others I can tolerate.)
I think it's literally my tolerance and appreciation of hops that has changed, and that's mostly due to drinking copious amounts of my own homebrew.
(my wife grows exotic peppers like carolina reapers, red morugas, and wussy peppers like habaneros and ghosts as well).
Its only a wussy pepper if you can eat a whole one (and keep it down) :rockin:
Adding pumpkin and pie spice to a random pale/amber ale has no redeeming features.
Oh I don't know, it's probably pretty effective for disguising off flavors and covering up brewing mistakes.

this turbid "NorthEast IPA" fad that's the latest stampede ... stupid.
I overheard a brewer recently that said, "my latest NEIPA came out clear, I was so disappointed!"
And another thing, there is NO such style as NEIPA, so you northerners need to get over yourselves. The only appropriate style is 21B where the appearance may be "slightly hazy", not turbid and/or muddy.
