There is lots to say here folks. A story about the Whiskey Rebellion and 30-06 rifle fire and my impending trip to NYC. Flash fiction and the impending birth of poetry-prose, not to be confused with prose-poetry. My impending trip to Tidioute, Dunn's Eddy and, wait for it, Wolf Creek. And, of course, Benwah's new case of syphilis. It's no laughing matter.
Here is my new Indianabeer.com piece. I like the first paragraph and the description of the lager, but other than that I think Matt Dunn fucked it up pretty good. Click the picture please.

You don't give yourself enough credit. I think your article is an enjoyable read and effective: I want to try Brooklyn Brewery's beer.
ReplyDeleteI found the Winter Lager argument interesting. I think Oliver is right on the money saying that the butterscotch taste is not diacytle but instead malt character contributed by the MO. This deliate flavor character stands out because it was most likely a low hopped lager. And as a side note: I'm pretty sure that diacetyl in lager is always a bad thing.
I made a brown porter that used Crisp MO as the base malt. When I entered this in a competition, I had two out of five judges make comment that there may be diacytl. Which isn't the case, WLP002 is very clean.
Cheers.
I don't think the winter beer is a lager. Did I say that it was? I don't think I did. I think it's a Scotch Ale style sort of thing. And their ale yeast strain is an English strain.
ReplyDeleteWow, I have no idea why I thought it was a lager. Sure enough you wrote "Winter Ale" in your article.
