Create Your Perfect Beer

Tree House - Double Shot w/ Sumatra....MAKE IT AGAIN!!!!!

 

The perfect beer is Pliny The Elder. Period.

 

A barrel aged Frangelico hazelnut coffee stout with cocao nibs. I will make this someday!

 

Not for the feint of heart. I personally over a 1 month period drank most of a keg of this from Live Oak in Austin that my local Whole Foods had. What I didn't drink I think people returned. I love this beer, come down to Texas in May and you can find it.

 

Alpine and Noble collab on a DIPA. There's no way it's bad.

 

Duvel and Founders getting together and having a baby, they will name it "Founders Breakfast Duvel" it will be the perfect Stout/Belgian Strong combo... one can only dream.

 

The perfect beer already exists :
Cuvée Delphine by The Struise Brewers !

 

The world's best brewers come to the region where I live and they apply their skills to create what is, in each brewer's opinion, the best possible beer using all local or regional ingredients. (Or as great a proportion of local ingredients as possible.) One or all of these beers would ideally be amazing in some novel way. I would learn to pronounce "terroir" correctly.

 

This sounds like so much fun, but I can't think of anything that hasn't already been done....

I'm guess I'm gonna leave the brewing to the pros. I'll stick with drinking...

 

Pils and wheat base, touch of oats. Mash at 155, hop to 10 ibu with saaz, ferment out with saison yeast, inoculate with lacto and copious strains of brett. Let sit for a few months in a white wine barrel, dryhop with copious amount of nelson. Nomnomnom...

 

A proper bottled bitter with only British hops (no more than 4% strength) from all those breweries churning out American style beers (practically all new breweries).

 

An imperial red ale with rich fruity esters, a complex malt bill, pacifica jade hops, dry-hopped with light-roasted Ethiopian coffee, and aged in a Palo Santo barrel for a month or so.

My first batch I'm homebrewing is going to be an amber ale. One day this beast (no matter how it turns out tasting in reality) will live.

 

A sour. The hue of Supplication, the fizz of Pizza Boy golden sour, the abv of Sour Monkey, the oakiness of petrus aged pale, and add in a real straw/grass, maybe beachgrass element to the flavor.

 

An Imperial, Barrel Aged AAL Light Lager.

 

Collaboration between Jackie O's, MadTree, and Fifty West. Either regular or russian imperial stout with some kind of barrel aging (I'll leave it up to them) brewed with almonds and brown sugar. Once again, I'll leave it up to the brewers to add whatever else they want.
