| My post seems to have gone missing or maybe I just can't find it! We've been through barrel changes at Neder many times and, to be honest, I've never noticed any real difference. Presumably the barrel comes from the same brewing batch or maybe our sensibilities have somewhat dulled by the time this happens! When we were there last with Jason, I think the barrel was changed 3 times; it was a good night. Don't know about Pfefferkarpen (hope I never have the 'pleasure') but consuming food with beer not only deadens the taste but actually changes it - this is not a scientific fact but just from many years experience in eating and drinking all sorts of things. Knowing the current tendency to sweeter and more exotic foods, I wonder if this imparts the buttery/butterschotchy taste to beer? I did report drinking my bottile of Aldi-purchased St Mel's Autumn IPA in my lost missive (too strong for Nick at 5.6%?) - it was quite excellent; not just hoppy but nice and malty as well. But I do wish that some brewers would try English hops instead of US, just for the experience (this had Ahtnanum, Crystal and Liberty) but I believe that most modern hop varieties are produced by cross-fertilising strains from different countries to get the most stable and effective varieties. |
