Rooster, those microbrews look tasty! I love trying new flavors! It's fantastic when you can support a local outfit like that!

Thanks!

I've also found a fondness for a good blended or Irish Whiskey and cheese. It's sooo good!

Relate for me a little bit about home brewing. Would you say you have more success than failure when brewing? I had a couple of friends some while back that liked to brew and it was hit or miss with respect to the head development. More than a couple of batches were flat.

beer is about a 60% success rate, mead and wine 90% percent success rate. We ended up only doing beer for special occassions because mead and wine are so much cheaper to produce and honestly who doesn't love a nice goblet of mulled mead. We also make wassail, both fermented and non alcoholic.

If the yeast dies it ruins your whole day. We mostly brewed farmhouse corn ale, or cranberry wheat ale. We preferred ingredients we could pick up from my best friend's farming relatives because cost is always an issue.

Must say, that Back 40 bock from the pic was amazing, it may have become my new favorite brew. Not sure though. its iffy. And the golden ale, the one written in pencil, is the most perfectly balanced beer I have tasted. In the midwest, balance is important in regards to brewing.

Now, a mead pork roast is something to tip a hat at.

Do you think we should make a beer thread?! so the foodie thread can stay food? lol

LunaZ · 01-07-2012, 08:45 AM

Sounds like a good idea! There's a lot to say about beer!

happytheman · 01-07-2012, 02:39 PM

Do you not consider a Foodie to cover such things as matters of drink as well as food? I agree that perhaps beer brewing tips and tricks can definitely survive within a thread all it's own, but I wonder if drink should not be covered as well within this thread.

But of course, I defer to the OP as it is his thread!

Beer is a food group after all.

Dinner tonight: Jalapeño burgers

I was a little short on ingredients so it was a bit of an improvisation. Not really that, but an incomplete burger anyways.

They were pretty good. Had them with cilantro fries and a nice dipping sauce (3/4 cup mayo, 2 tablespoons sour cream, dijon, whole grain, and regular yellow mustard to taste).

happytheman · 01-08-2012, 01:41 AM

Mmm, jalapeño burger! I wonder how a habanero or ghost chili pepper burger would be!

KingZee · 01-08-2012, 02:05 AM

good stuff Steve

The Beer and other drink thread!

Made a beer thread. Hence forth, beer and food shall part ways. They will visit each other quite often I am sure
