Sixpoint: Alpenflo Helles Lager

I drank six watching Nova last night....
Wife drank three...
Tonight I will drink the last three...
= 12

 

Still nothing in Norfolk...haven’t seen Lo-Res either. Here to hoping they round out an arrival trifecta with BA Righteous

 

Thanks for your diligence. In reference to size of container, IMHO, a 1/2L would seem most appropriate.... I also like the maß-can too.

@herrburgess, where have you found this? Greens?

 

Craft and Draft. Just had one tonight....

 

Yep, I think it's time for me to move.

 

I just bought some Camden hells yesterday, let you know once I try it if I still think it's a bad veer or not.

 

please tell me these were vintage episodes of Carl Sagan's "Time Travel"

do you want us to contact our wholesaler directly about this? send us a PM if that's the case

what did you think?

 

As a brewer yourself, being "required" to taste beers nearly every day, you know when your palate is off. Yesterday was one of those days for me. After I had yours, I went to the brewery to taste my Helles and knew I wasn't getting what was in there. What I did manage to pick up on, I liked a lot. But I'm gonna get me some more Alpenflo today and try again to make sure I'm getting as much as I can out of it. Will report back.

 

did you have draft or canned version?

 

I agree! A 16.9oz can would be perfect for Alpenflo! Especially in something like a 12-pack to boot.

 

Canned.

 

cool, hit us up with a PM if you want to talk directly about it, and maybe we can also arrange for you to send us some of your Helles and we can do a video tasting live from your biergarten :-)

 

Planning on chilling down 3 cans and putting them into a Masskrug this time. For as much as I like the craft beer bar I found this at, they still use shaker pints for most every beer.

Live Helles tasting? Hmmm...

 

I agree. If the store is well managed and their BeerMenu page is updated consistently it definitely is a great tool to use. Yesterday I used BeerMenus and was able to find Alpenflo at a small liquor store nearby.

Fucking excellent beer, by the way. Easily my favorite Sixpoint has made thus far. You can tell it's a great Hellles because I was only going to have one or two and ended up drinking five of them while playing some video games, watching some baseball (first three went into a Maß, had a couple more in a "mini" .5l stein) . It's a really "fun" beer to drink, something you can't say about most styles. Excellent work.

 

Every time I put Helles lager this in the basket I decided to put it back and get more of the Crisp. Their Tesla lager is unbelievable. Outstanding.

 

@Sixpoint , et al, the rush for Summer 2018 seems to be on:

(I added this beer and used Munich Helles because BA doesn't let you just say "Lager," as Goose Island is calling it. Since I saw Munich Malt and Hallertau Hops in the recipe, I took a chance. First time I try it I'll decide if it needs an edit...)

 

do you want to do a wider group tasting? we could get a crew of 8-10 people together and live stream it....we've done it before
