Weekend round-up...and what's wrong with
Posted by Nick B. on 2016-03-03 23:47:07
You know, as I was writing that above about the syrup, smoke, and coffee, I thought I would actually like that (8-9%, jawohl) as a sipper. Maybe not the Rauchmalz though. And I think we're about to get Founders imported here, according to the dude at the American Brewers Association stand at BrauKunstLive on Saturday, so maybe that will be one of them. It'd be worth 4€ as an experiment, for me anyway. Their Centennial IPA was quite nice Saturday too.

My first ever coffee stout was from Pyramid, an "espresso stout". Or maybe it was some other Seattle microbrewery, things get a bit foggy after nearly a quarter century. Of course, back then, even Guinness was drinkable, nice roasty notes, not yet dumbed down for the masses or whatever they dumbed it down for.

Which reminds me...I wish I had an Euro for every time someone here has said "oh, sure, I've had Guinness & Kilkenny" when I say I like English beer. Meh, they're all just funny little islands "up that way".
