The Beer Drinkers Thread

Well its Saturday. Whats on the menu?

I really like this Buffalo Gold Golden Ale from Boulder. I knew Boulder had to be good for something.



FYI
On the calendar this weekend is the Keystone 14th Annual Bluegrass & Beer Festival Sunday Aug. 1

I like Biggie's. Great beer selection, close to home. And the staff knows their beer too. `

Ditto on Biggies, best selection up here IMO. Its in KS complex. Lots of micro brews variety, and they are nice folks too.

And Biggie is a great supporter of 285bound.com!

I am not a beer drinker but found this interesting.

Thanks CG, guess I can stop cutting back and stop worrying about the ol beer gut. I am holding you responsible though if if doesn't work!

We are putting the Belgian Blond we brewed a few weeks ago in the keg to chiil it and it we will gas it up tomorrow, should be ready to tap later this week. We also have something called a Strissed Out Pils (yes that's Strissed) that we will put into secondary fermentor today as well. The Pils is, for me, a curious brew. A Pilsner is a lager and normally uses a lager yeast it needs to ferment at lower temperatures. But this beer uses a British ale yeast and can ferment at the higher ale yeast temperature. Its kind of like the Steam beer I brewed a while back but not anywhere near as hoppy. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Here's to ya!
