What would your dream beer be?

an SNPA clone

 

Apricot IPA with the apricot really coming through.

Ginger IPA could be nice too

Lemon grass ginger saison

Enjoy

 

I will answer this in a bit different way. As a home brewer I have had some brews that seemed like great ideas that I couldn't quite pull off. I would like to see what a true brewing virtuoso could do.
One I tried twice was a Pink Peppercorn and Prickly Pear Wild Ale. First batch ended up bland, second batch I tried to age in oak. Something went wrong. Seems like Upland, Hill Farmstead, Side Project, Rare Barrel handle fruited wilds/sours incredibly well. I'd like to try this flavor combo from one of them.

 

Something along the lines of What is Enlightenment- a flavourful pale ale around the 5% mark

 

I'd have Schlenkerla make me a Mandarina Bavaria hopped rauchweizen (with at least 60% of the grain bill as wheat malt) aged briefly in liquid smoke barrels from Colgin.

 

What's wrong with the original?

 

A nice, smooth, easy drinking Pale, around 6%, with a wee bit of Brett, and a dry finish.

 

Not the "what would your dream beer be?" question I was expecting.

If I could work with a brewery? I'd brew up a single origin coffee series inside a medium-bodied milk stout. Think Tree House's Double Shot series, but with easier access, more frequent releases, and a specific focus on creating beers with specific single origin coffee beans.

In fact, should I ever opt to get into home brewing, I'd most likely start with a milk stout and then add various cold brew single origins in 2/3 of the batch upon bottling.

 

oaked aged bud light-I kid kid. I just wish Nelson hops were more popular so I could find more accessible Nelson forward IPAs and DIPAs. I can't wait to crack a Scaled Way Up from Trillium tomorrow. It sounds like everything I am looking for in a DIPA.

 

As a homebewer I’ve been trying to perfect my Rye Belgian Pale with Brett.

Would love to see Russian River do one, or Monkish for a hoppier version

As a side I would love to make a GI Sofie Paradisi Clone

 

Ha!

...wait, right?

 

I would go to Germany and drink lagers at the source. The dream would be all expenses paid.

 

Try Fear of a Brett Planet if you can find it near you. One of my favorite beers.

Enjoy

 

Who makes it?


Also, as to the OP, I actually keep nagging a couple of my neighborhood breweries to brew up a Wheatwine. Wheatwines do not get enough love.

 

A double barrel apple Brandy stout with coconut and vanilla made by sideproject

 

Collabs are bad enough .We don't need the bandy-legged fuzzy faced fanboys throwing in thier $0.02 .

 

Round guys

Enjoy

 

Free and plentiful !!!
