Tonight im planning on hosting a small beer tasting with two friends who are really interested in craft beer , the havent try almost anything... i dont know in wich order should i drink this selection.... Thanks for your help!! Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Rogue Hazelnut Brown Néctar Rogue Dry Hopped Red Ale Rogue Dead Guy Ale Rogue Mocha Porter Arrogant Bastard Ale.. PS: Dont judge my selection , there is not much variety to choose from here in Central America hahahah
Order by impact on the palate, from least to most. E.G., stronger flavors later, stronger hop bitterness presence later. Have plenty of water available. Provide unsalted pretzels or water crackers to nibble.
It all depends on what you want.. I would go for: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Rogue Dead Guy Ale Rogue Hazelnut Brown Néctar Rogue Mocha Porter Rogue Dry Hopped Red Ale Arrogant Bastard Ale water crackers at the ready, particulary when you get to 3, 4 and 5
Least amount of alcohol to greatest. Sweetest last. I liked that smakawhat put the porter before the red ale which can seem like a contradiction but if you parse your food courses you will see how this is sane and logical.
It all depends on what you want. My biggest dillema is what do I want first? my palate is fresh sometimes I want the most important beer first.. sometimes not.. The SN Pale Ale is also pretty neutral it's a good option also somewhere in the middle or in between two to sort of almost cleanse, but I also stuck it first cause it's the most basic and lightest of all the other options in terms of flavor and probably ABV as well... but it all depends. If you really like nuts start with the Brown, in fact you can finish with that one also it's quite dessert like too.. lots of options...
Honestly, it really doesn't matter. With that lineup, nothing is going to overwhelm the other beers, so have at it as you see fit.
