Reingold, Ballentine, Schlitz and good old Miester Brau that we put in a closest until Sundays when liquor stores were closed and we ran out of beer in college! Before Coors went nationwide, closest state to CT that carried it was New Jersey...so a friend and I took a road trip, bought a few cases and then got back to school and sold it for $5 a bottle.

From CT local Hull's to NY favs Knickerbocker, Shaeffer and to 25 cent night beer night Blatz Beer at a club in college, Red White and Blue in high school ($8 for a case), a lot of decent beers back in the days before BMC killed them all off. But I have to say, as for Heineken, have you ever had it on draft? Had it in Aruba last year and it blew me away! No skunks were killed to make it! It was a delicious lager fresh from the Netherlands. It became my go to there thankfully, as I could only drink so much Balashi beer that is made in Aruba!

I cover craft beer, breweries, beer reviews, brewery reviews, home brewing, brewer interviews, hops, brewery workers, etc. (Pretty much anything beer related.)<br /><br />I have really enjoyed your blog and posts. I was wondering if you would be interested in writing a guest post/article (either a one-time or regularly) for my blog. You can promote and link back to your blog throughout. <br /><br />You can find my blog at: https://thebeerthrillers.home.blog/<br /><br />We are currently ranked #9 on FeedSpot's Top 100 Beer Blogs.<br /><br />If you are interested, you can contact me through the blog's contact page.<br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br />-B.

About six months after posting I started working in the industry which has changed my perspective on a lot of things. I don't disagree with a lot of of your points. The best craft versions of traditional styles that I've found employ traditional methods and use traditional ingredients.

Kräusening arguably fits both". I've been home brewing since 1988 and one of my passions is the quest for the most authentic European-style lager I could possibly make. In my experience, the closest I ever come is when I employ true kraeusening methods. Regarding "modern brewing methods", the average craft brewery in America uses modern methods and equipment in an attempt to brew a wide range of beer styles. Traditional breweries in Europe aren't like this, Fuller's in England make world class English ales, not German lagers or Belgian ales. Likewise for Belgian and German breweries, each are equipped with specific "modern" equipment, designed to make a specific style of beer. I believe it is the attempt by American craft brewers to paint with a broad brush that leads to such poor examples of classic styles, including some of the worst examples of European lagers I've ever tasted. So of course kraeusening is impractical for most craft breweries that have neither the knowledge or equipment to practically employ the method (regardless of using "modern brewing methods"), but for the home brewer who can turn on a dime and adjust his or her brewery to craft any style in the world, kraeusening certainly has a place, and in my view, is vital to crafting the most authentic lagers. Modern brewing methods therefore sounds like a catch phrase for "short cut". Something that most modern craft breweries are happy to take in an attempt to make anything other than what they are equipped to make; a simple craft ale.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03862703086444225392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686013504634661397.post-4619982447242193072019-11-07T13:33:07.500-05:002019-11-07T13:33:07.500-05:00At least in the late '70's, American brewe...At least in the late '70's, American brewers were generally only using the Porterine syrup in the draft version of their products. I got this straight "from the horse's mouth". :-) A few years later in the mid '80's, I ordered a keg of Yuengling Porter for a company picnic (thinking maybe by then they had abandoned this practice). Turnerd out this beer had NO roasted malt flavor, like the bottled version did. I don't know if or when this practice ended.

She identified the stronger fruit aroma in the Sunfish, and said she liked the Sunfish better because "It is one of her favorite beers". After a couple months in the bottle the beer soured! Jennie actually liked it better after it soured. To be fair, it was a fairly clean lactic sourness.
