I really appreciate that you differentiate between o and ö but in this case I think perhaps you meant to write Noël(=christmas) and not Nöel!
Absolutely amazing episode, I hope the hangover was survivable
That group of opened beers reminds me of high school parties with god knows how many different types of drinks, just taking whatever we could get at that age
The Sam Smith winter warmer is fantastic.
Southern Tier beers taste like perfume.
That intro both terrified me and brought me joy. Well done sir
Why not pour them all out so you can see the color? Could explain some of the profiles your tasting
As a Chicago resident, EVERYTHING Revolution makes tastes like a damn IPA. Their summer shandy tastes like an IPA. I didn't buy any Fistmas this year because I knew it would taste like an IPA and I'm glad to be vindicated lmao
I wonder if youd do a deep rock video. Could be interesting.
The fake drunk act is cartoonish and tiring. Please dial the theatrics back.
Is it possible the note you're tasting is phenol? It's kind of a bandaid-y 'medicinal' flavor. It's caused by certain yeast and bacteria strains, an abundance of certain fermentable molecules (tannins for example), or in the case of undesirable phenol, the unintentional introduction of certain bacteria.
I had a spanish cider a couple weeks ago that was VERY phenolic but after the shock of the first sip was honestly quite tasty. It's not for everyone, and some people are much more sensitive to it than others.
Also, Straffe Hendrik is a great beer from a cool brewery: they crowdfunded a pipeline exclusively for beer, but I don't know if it's still operational. Regardless, Bruges is awesome and worth a visit especially if you like Belgian ales.
It's that time of year, huh? But ah, it is November still.
Greg I think I may have found the single most cursed drink I've ever had: a Bailey's Latte. First of all – bailey's doesn't froth. Second of all.. wow that is medicinal.
Fermented for too long can make ir smell like a hand lotion or baby cream you are reffering too 😅
SHINER CHEER IS THE GOAT
Wells Sticky Toffee Beer. It has the Christmas dessert flavors out the wazoo.
Psst! It's deh-KOHR-uh Iowa. Those of us who revel in Toppling Goliath's successes love hearing their town said right. lol
Colorado representation let's go!!!
I always thought of Barley Wine as the quintessential Christmas Beer. Barley wine, Winter Ale… Rich, smooth, malty, slightly sweet, rather high ABV, between 8 and 11 % or more. Its a sipping brew, certainly not one to swill.
I think this is the first episode i’ve watched in several months after binging the whole catalog a while ago. I miss the episodes where Greg taught us to make good cocktails. The awful orders/worst drink i’ve ever had episodes don’t do it for me
I'd appreciate a video of revisiting the favorites from all 3 and ranking them then slot in and out as you try more in future years.
I’m so happy I’m not the only one who hated the tidings ale
I'd always love to see Trõegs beers. Mad Elf is a very intense but as I understand it extremely popular seasonal release.
I cant believe that 21 Amendment Fireside chat can art
I love chestnus omg (straffe hendrik moment)
neutral bitter beer hotel took me OUT
