Go Aeronaut Brewing

Nope.

 

Good business is good business. If their goal is to have a "pretty good" beer and use their space as more of a party zone then best of luck to them. They've been successful and it's the best I can hope for anyone. If it's not your deal, then move on.

 

Another thing that's true is that they competed against 65 other entries in the category and beat them all.

 

Smallish category? There were 42 categories. Average number of entries per category was 73. Their category had 66 entries. All of whom they beat.

Night Shift sucks too except for the One Hops series, right?

Opinions are like assholes, we all have them. You just act like your opinion is the immutable truth.

 

No, he's the definition of a beer snob. That's all. Been that way for years. He is consistent, if anything

 

So the correction is that they beat out an average number of entries from whatever tiny faction of breweries decide to send beer into the competition. Plenty of banners hanging at mediocre breweries too. I've had enough of their beer that a good pils isn't tipping the scales in any meaningful way.

I only buy OHTT. They have other good beers but that is their best and I choose to support NS very little nowadays for personal reasons with them I've discussed in other threads. Aeronaut sucks, I just choose not to support Night Shift.

Keep pretending like you know me. It's hilarious.

 

^which is exactly what he is on these boards.

I don't pretend to know you anywhere but here, sweatshirt. Here, you are exactly what I and others have said you are.

 

I don't mince words and don't fanboy every beer, brewery, and brewer. Im very supportive of good ones. If that makes my opinions a "dick post" to you oh well. Push up your rose colored glasses and find a safe space.

 

yes he is

 

You delicate flower you.

 

Tireless is more appropriate than snobbish

 

Witty.

 

Ok guys, I think everyone has went their 12 rounds...and unfortunately it's not involving beer.

Back on topic...I'd be curious if anyone heads over to Aeronaut this weekend to try their take on a Dry Irish Stout. You don't see many of those in craft, especially locals.

Gritty's is the only one I can think of. I'll be at Mystic and Nightshift myself today, so I don't think a trip over to Aeronaut is in the cards. Not to mention with an actual event going on, it will likely be packed.

 

That medal-winning pils was the first Aeronaut beer I've had that didn't taste like somebody's halfway decent homebrew, so I guess they're on their way up!

 

I'm a harsh critic of Pilsners, and I enjoy it. I seem to remember their Doppelbock being decent as well, and maybe their Hefeweizen.

I wonder if one of the brewer's has some experience with German brews, or brewing in Germany.

 

Slightly off-topic but Lamplighter introduced a dry Irish stout on nitro yesterday that I really enjoyed.

 

Interesting. I liked their Altbier, their IPAs were ok. I think I tried a sour of some sort that had an excessive amount of wet horse blanket/dirty sock taste to it. That could have been what they were going for though, I believe Brett at varying levels/ages can give off this flavor.
