Let's Give Lagers Some Love (2024)

He's the best beer department manager I've dealt with in a very long time.

 

Delicious

 

Human Robot is my favorite local lager brewery. Drinking one of their 4th Anniversary beers right now, Reifen Hopf Vier

 

But my favorite beer from Human Robot is their Tmave 13. My nightcap for this evening

 

Huber Brau in St Johann in Tirol. They make a nice variety of lagers, but the zwickel at the brewery is the best.

 

The view from that room...a slice of heaven indeed.

 

Good to know they're still brewing good beer!

 

One for the road at the airport in Munich. I had an HB dunkel the last time which was very nice. This one is not as good, but still works.

 

Yeah, it's very picturesque, but I didn't get a chance to sit outside this time despite 60 weather since it was closed.

Resident Culture - There is no light without the dark Schwarzbier

 

awesome collab hopefully there will be more in the future.

 

another one from jacks Abby they have been killing it lately. Not sure what makes it Icelandic but it is a tasty bock.

 

Is it an Icebock!?!

Cheers!

 

Another Zero Gravity beer brewed for Oxbow. Not my favorite, but not bad either.



On another lager-related subject, I just learned that Allagash discontinued Seconds to Summer, at least for the time being. Sad, considering it was my favorite lager for the last two years.

 

Do you know anything about the new allagash one? Surf House, I just saw it in their seasonal packs announcement. Nice to see several go into six packs. Details on site…

Grains: Maine Malt House Pale Malt, Buck Farms Flaked Corn, Carapils, Rice Hulls
Hops: Ella
Yeast: Belgian Lager
Suggested Pour Size: 16 oz.
Ideal Within: Six Months
ABV: 5.5%

 

What a thread. I've been following it but not a single mention of Boston Lager, my personal favorite. I've been trying some lagers this year but , so far, SABL just seems to work best for me. Yes, I know , not a lot of love for SABL here.

 

Yeah, I saw the announcement of Surf House on IG, that's where they confirmed no S2S this year. It's quite a different lager, also dry-hopped, so I don't hold my breath. It is already in the stores, so we'll find out soon.

 

That's not good news. Seconds to Summer was quite nice... as was Beach Report. I need a major cheat sheet to keep all these no commitment, warm weather Allagash drinkable pales straight in my head. They're impossible to remember by name. Is it Beach Report and Surf House or Beach House and Surf Report? I give up.

Surf House sounds like an overall downgrade for me. Adjunct lager with higher ABV and losing Euro hops for Aussie ones. Not surprising.

 

It doesn't look like I tried Beach Report. From the ingredients, it seems to be a Belgian beer. Surf House is indeed a downgrade considering rice and corn in the malt, higher ABV, and dry-hopping. But I reserve my judgment until I try it.
