When you have more than one brew in a sitting

1) glass of water
2) finish the 4 pack of 90 Minute
3) pedialyte

 

I agree that big beers like DFH90 should be consumed at the end of a session. An alternative approach with be to take a food and water break in between beers to reset the palate. Cheers.

 

Or,...there is the Homer strategy!?!

 

After a DFH 90 you can only go to so many places, but I'd say an Imperial stout or barleywine would be appropriate.

 

This would have been my reply as well. During weekends when we might go for 2-3 beers, it's almost always alternating styles. Stout/IPA/barleywine is one that has been very kind to us.

 

Last night I had a mini/impromptu Barleywine fest in my kitchen. Dug deep into the cellar stash. Three vintage beers - smaller 12oz and less formats. Shared w/a friend. Highly recommend mid week multi beer sessions!

 

This is actually contrary to my approach. If I'm going to be drinking a DIPA, imperial stout, barleywine, etc. I typically start my night with them and try to gradually move to lower ABV beers as the night progresses.

Isn't this kind of similar to the adage, "liquor before beer, you're in the clear"? I understand from a palate perspective why going from an IPA to a lager isn't ideal, but I find that it doesn't take long for my palate to "reset."

 

I love a lager after a stout, Barleywine 2IPA tastes delicious and cleanses the palate. 2nd choice is a fruited sour, it also for me tastes great.

 

Agree that you move less hoppy to more hoppy as the night goes. Light to dark.
My order usually goes: pale lager, then ale, then IPA. I would do a stout/porter after an IPA.
Since an IPA is more hoppy than a stout/porter, I guess I go by the light to dark rule rather most of the time.

 

My primary sessions include:

DFH 120min->
DFH Raison D’Extra->
DFH 120min->
DFH WWS


The only acceptable session substitution is:
BCBS->
Cantillon Classic Gueuze (low ABV break)->
Black Tuesday (bombers only)

 

Sixpoint resin
Hoptimum

 

Damn! Your sessions beat my sessions hands down. I'm impressed, if not incredulous....

 

I have no qualms drinking random ass beers. I did have an issue drinking a myrcenary from Odell after an all Citra APA I brewed at home. The myrcenary tasted like tomatoe plants after the Citra bomb I had before. It was crazy.

 

I think instead of another beer right away, I might go with crackers, cheese, and charcuterie meats. Then I'd start cracking imperial stouts and strong ales and whatnot. This is usually how our shares go, at least to some degree. There might be food substitutions like chili or something, but the IPA's (if any) are usually knocked off before the big guns come out.

I never drink more than one beer in a sitting unless it's a share, so it's not something I've given much thought to.

 

Never at a restaurant, bar, brewery, dinner at a friend's, holiday with family, etc.?

What about a flight?

 

Most taster trays only equal 1 beer anyway, so, it's not really an issue.

 

Never had a 90 minute before, but the other day i was at LA Ale Works and had a Meseeks Juice Double Hazy i think? And i couldnt handle drinking shit after that. Everything tasted off .
