Let's pick a day.
Resident Food Truck: Egg Belly, currently open 4pm-8pm Tuesday - Friday, 12pm - 8pm Saturday
Maybe Saturday for lunch? (tomorrow or next week)
Let's do it tomorrow then sounds good.
Never had a "Cold IPA" before but man its really good. Had to look it up... apparently its a newer beer style, only invented in 2017, and its basically fusing ale and lager fermenting techniques? I dont actually know what that means but its a super smooth drinkable beer.

Top or bottom fermentation. Be interesting to try a hybrid!
Yeah, Im curious what the actual process is, because if its just bottom fermented isnt it just a hoppier lager? Either way, its a good beer and Id be interested in trying more. A buddy of mine whos more into the beer scene told me theyre actually really trendy right now, but this is the first time Ive seen it
Had a great time yesterday trying some new beers with @DopeDaniel
The Coffee Baltic Porter was my favorite, and the Mexican lager a close second, but they were all pretty damned tasty.

I liked the marzen, it's funny even in legalization we still get so into the weed convos I'm sure some eyebrows were raised.

I think it would depend on when, and how, they add the Hops in. I haven't ever made Beer myself, which....Being German and Irish is probably weird... Then again I've only grown Potatoes once too LOL... But yeah I think you can add in Hops at different stages, and, I have seen a Beer that was made just from the "resin" of a Hops plant.... To be honest, it sounded more like making Beer from Kief than from buds, and the taste was pretty much that LOL. It had that almost sticky flavor and intensity you'd expect. I can't remember the name though sadly
It was that good LOL.Maerezen should be a tasty one, as it's the one you drink in March in Germany
I'm not sure how to do an Umlaut on this keyboard, so, I spelled it with the E after the A, which is standard.

You're thinking of lupulin! Yes, it is essentially hop kief.
"Ever look at a whole cone hop and see a yellow powder clinging to the green leaves? That’s lupulin, a naturally occurring substance in hops that plays a large part in giving the plant its characteristic scents and flavors.
In other words, lupulin contains many of the hop acids and essential oils that make beer so delicious. In fact, when brewers add hops to their beer, it’s largely with the intention of extracting these very acids and oils. The plant matter from the hop cone itself is usually discarded."
You're also correct in terms of adding hops at different stages. The classic West Coast IPA is generally wet-hopped, the newer East Coast DIPA styles are generally dry hopped. Wet hopping adds significantly more bitterness, but also preserves the beer (which was the original point of the IPA style), while dry-hopping adds a ton in the way of terpenes.

Dry hopping involves adding hops during fermentation or conditioning. Wet hopping means adding freshly picked hops during brewing (at any point).

LOL that was the easiest way for my brain to remember what I had drank that day haha. I knew from reading the can that they used just the "Kief" LOL, part of it, and after tasting it, and knowing Hops is a cousin to Cannabis, it just made sense to me to call it that, but yeah, it was stunning in flavor

Hey fellers thought I would pop in and where better on a weed forum than the beer section 🙂
Just a nice simple brown can’t go wrong with a nice handshake of a beer.

Quadruple IPA flying monkey
I've had that Flying Monkey brand before. All of the ones I've tasted were quite yummy, and had one hell of a kick to them. Looks like that ones up there too. Hows it go down?

I’m now just waiting for my son to come home from ice skate but when hes in bed ….. it’s on
So how'd she taste? In my mind I'm wondering was it like a orange creamy beer, or more a orange creamy sugary tasting treat?

I have a pack of Hacker Pschorr Maerzen !! I was surprised to see it to be honest. Second time in a week I've found this brand of Beer. The Weiss Bier is all my time favorite beer ever, so, I'll see how this one goes later on. We're at my Mom's for Easter Dinner right now.
