    Greetings Advocates!

    Haven't had anything from these folks in many a year. Not too shabby.

    Unless I missed it above...how bout a little back story to this tasting? You look like your at a bottle shop? Did you bring a suit case of beers? Also, why no mustard on that dog?

    Slowly getting into the “too many beers” zone, but still about 20 to go! This is smoked ham all the way. Cheers!

    Haha! Yes, 6 people and we all brought a bunch of beer! We always share at a bottle shop in Freiburg (with the owner). I brought a lot of beer! No mustard to mess with the taste :wink:

    Tonight’s Blind Battle Beer Tasting Lineup:


    1) Fair State Side Pull (4.1%): A Czech-style lager from Minnesota with flavors of pale bread and biscuit malt. A light lemon biscuit flavor with a soft, smooth finish. Fluffy.
    versus
    2) Portage Chatter Chatter (4.8%): A Czech-style Pilsner from Minnesota with flavors of pale bread and biscuit malt. A grassy and bitter hop and earthy yeast flavor. Rounded and complex.
    versus
    3) Fair State Super Clear (4.5%): A crisp German-style pilsner from Minnesota with flavors of pale malt, grains, grassy and earthy yeast and hop bitterness. Dry, clean, hoppy.

    4) BlackStack Universally Panned (7.2% no canning date): A NEIPA from Minnesota with Mosaic and Strata for flavors of green honeydew melon and ripe blueberries.
    versus
    5) BlackStack Microdosing Strata (7.2% no canning date): A NEIPA from Minnesota with Strata for flavors of mango, pink grapefruit, and strawberry sorbet.
    (Correctly matched all beers blind)
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Winners:

    1) Fair State Side Pull
    : This one has definitely grown on me. Soft, buttery biscuit and bread flavors. Almost pillowy for a lager. The history behind this name and beer makes me appreciate the velvety mouthfeel even more.
    Portage nailed the Czech Pilsner too--Dynamic qualities and complex.

    5) BlackStack Microdosing Strata: They've figured out how to nail the Strata, the hop that may be the new Mosaic. Captures all of the flavors of pink grapefruit, mango flesh, mango skins, and strawberry/mango sorbet. Just enough earthy mango skin to balance the juiciness, this one is darn good folks.

    Good afternoon, advocates. Such a dreary kind of day here. Looking forward to baseball games tonight, as a lot of teams are gearing towards their playoff run. Growing Up Absurd from Root + Branch. So good. Cheers!

    Weisbier from 2017. Incredible beer. Very sad that they closed down due to COVID. Cheers!

    King Al is getting a lil chunky with some age. It settled nicely and is drinking just fine. It did drop off quick imo. I have some King Sue half it's age and you can tell it's fresher. Still a great beer just even better fresher. Was the best on tap.

    Cheers y'all!
