So, I brewed a Tripel (1.082ish) back in july. It was bulk aged until December, when it was bottled. It's been conditioning at my band's practice space since December, since my basement is about 58 degrees. The recipie was an AHA national champion.
Beginning of March, I put one in the fridge to lager for a month, as recommended. It was perfect - we weren't planning on being there for a month. I'd have a sweet tripel waiting for me at the next practice. Plus it would be right in season at that point.
My **&@@!1 bandmate stops by to pick up some gear. I see him the next day, and he hands me the cap from my anxiously awaited tripel.
"By the way, I noticed a beer in the fridge when I was getting the gear, I figured I'd drink it, was feelin kinda thirsty".
"Oh yea, how'd it taste? I've been looking forward to trying it."
"It was good, it tasted like beer."
"Great, thanks for checking that out for me" I tell him.
Dangnabbit. Now I have to wait another month to try one. Freakin banjo players.
