    No - not dark. No rye. Yes golden. Not a Kolsch. A brewery here in MA is doing the same thing. I questioned it on their FaceBook page and got some doublespeak defensive reply. And damn I forget which thread the discussion is buried in...

    Kölsch is supposed to be pale and filtered, and correct: no rye. And made in Köln, specifically. As far as I know, maybe Stone brewed it in a Kölsch-like manner (warm fermented, then lagered)...or maybe they wanted to slap on the label for marketing. It's pretty damn low ABV for a Stone beer.

    At any rate, it's tasty.

    I was looking for it earlier; seems like the thread has gone dead lately.

    I'm savoring my last few hours of freedom before the kids come home from their grandparents' house. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids -- but I also love Sunday brunch at Tired Hands Brewing Company with my wife!:sunglasses::sunglasses:

    It all started so innocently. I'm drinking Wilbur, the beer on the left. It's SaisonHands for my wife.

    Those 8oz pours went down in a hurry! Next up is Saclo (8.3% Imperial Wheat IPA) and Everything Was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt (6.6% Coffee Saison).

    Time for a little food!:slight_smile: See that Candied Bacon…?



    [​IMG]

    …now you don't!:stuck_out_tongue::grinning:
    Kilt it.:sunglasses:



    Back home and in need of a palate cleanser. This will do:

    Traveled all night Friday and Saturday. Had barely enough energy to drink a beer last night but today I am getting caught up. Started with vanilla noir(it was meh), stone espresso ris(great)!, now onto big gruesome and must say it is hitting the spot. Hoping to take a nap after this one and wake up,to a nice steak with a couple toppling Goliath IPAs.

    yeah I mean you can't just call that dark rye beer a kolsch right? A kolsch is supposed to be golden light, almost imperceptibly fruity and certainly not dark. It's NOT A DARK BEER> That's some lattitude they took with the color and the rye.



    Are we still drinking?

    Yeah, when you are that far off a style guideline, I gotta think you either were smoking some medicinal herb or you just don't care what you call your beer...or both.

    I've been just craving a Founders Breakfast Stout, but I'm out. And so are all of my beer haunts. Then lo and behold, Wegmans served me up a suitable alternative...ST Mokah...

    Day 2 of my Converge kick. One of their best...
