I think I like Three Floyds more than Founders. That beer in particular though is really good

Bump.

I bottle 5 gallons of this tonight after I get home from playin pool and the sorts:

6lb light malt extract (light base)
5 oz chocolate malt (flavor, color)
8 oz dextrin malt (body)
8 oz 6-row american malt (flavor, lightness)
1lb crystal 60l (caramel flavor)
2 oz east kent golding and 3 oz fuggle hops (meld well together, offers a mellow earth flavor)
whitbread english ale yeast (slightly fruity but lets the malts do the talking)

Overboard on malts? Perhaps. It's so cheap to buy grains that I'm not concerned, just more interested in the outcome.

It's totally badass to see my hometown hero getting some love! Founder's Kentucky Breakfast Stout is pretty much the only dark beer I'm willing to drink.

Most stouts/porters are flavor overload for me (I figure that sort of thing will become more agreeable to me as I get older). If you're into IPAs like I am try out Founder's Double Trouble sometime - it's the bee's knees.

It's also funny (and awesome) that the two cities I consider myself to be from both have badass motherfucking breweries. Bell's Two Hearted ale is my comfort in a troubled world, ahhhhh - probably the greatest beer ever.

I've been sitting here enjoying a Founder's Centennial IPA today with some broiled chicken and penne alfredo, listening to Deere in Headlights 001.

Right now: Brewing a Christmas Ale.

Spicy ginger and nutmeg start with a sweet honey and orange peel finish, all with an undertone of spicy pine and clover. Based off of a traditional wassail recipe. This beer is expected to be consumed at slightly below room temperature to satisfy the seasonal tongue and also keep you toasty warm. ABV hopefully in the 7% range.


Next on the list: a spiced bourbon stout. Light chocolate stout with oak spicing alongside a black pepper and Kentucky bourbon flavour. Vanilla note finishes. Also expected to be a room-warm beer for those winter months. Expected ABV in the 6-7% range. It might end up higher~

send me free beer to try.

sounds so good

Budweiser first, Moosehead DryIce second, and if they don't have either, may as well move on to the girly drinks.
