beer question

[Ceph]

beer is bleh (except for some home made stuff - brewed in the bathtub)....Hard Cider's are the way to go (Woodchuck Amber)

yes they are made from wheats and grains I believe....my cousin makes his from a choclate barley

[cmayer31]

There's a lot that makes a beer. Mostly it is classified on how it is fermented and what is used in the blend. Mostly they use barely, but rice, wheat, and corn are also used. There's some other stuff used mattering on location as well. A lot of flavor comes from how it is fermented with hops, water, and yeast. Here's a link that describes it well Wiwpedia - Beer .

Personally I love Black & Tans. It's a mix of bass light ale and Guinness dark ale. Can also be used with other light/dark ales. But I also enjoy my Cerveza's with lime, or a nice lager. Oh heck, I love most beer.

I have tried several different beers & end up choaking the sip down & trying not to puke, its horrid IMO. I'm into short, pure (Vodka) & mixed (Liquid Coke).. No juices as I'm allergic to most.

I am a beer snob and an Ale girl for the most part! Can't drink the mass produced junk like Bud and Molson's. Well, I can, but given a choice I won't. I like honey brown ales, Sleeman's in particular. We have a great little brewery up here. Their slogan is "beer worth freezing for" and it's true! My favorite is Cranberry Wheat Ale, made with wild Yukon cranberries! Delicious! I just bought a box of their newest flavor.."Discovery Ale", made with Fireweed flavored honey!

Stuart makes his own beer. There are many, many methods and recipes. He uses lots of hops, barley, wheat, berries and even chocolate in one of his recipes

The brewery only takes up one corner of the shop. He does lots of other stuff out there too! If the zoning bylaw had allowed a second storey, I don't think he'd come to the house very often though!

Muskwa is the taster! He always licks the keg spout!

LOL! Is there a"designated sled dog" back-up for the drunken husky?

LOL! Must be a northern breed thing... my sister's Husky Yukon has her very own beer bowl in the living room. If anyone opens a beer in the house she will try everything she can to make you dump or drop your beer so she can get some. So my sister has a bowl in the living room just for beer because if you pour just a little in the bowl for her she leaves everyone's beer alone!!

Joyce, I'm no help because I'm a "Piss Water" beer drinker. Miller Lite tops my list! I just can't get into think lagers and ale, I've tried... but always go back to Miller Lite!

Is it allowed to ship some of that good stuff to the US?

Is it allowed to ship some of that good stuff to the US?

I have no idea what the rules are around that! I'll have to look into that! Would have to be shipped in the summer or it would freeze solid though! Their website is www.yukonbeer.com if you want to check it out.

Thanks. I emailed them.

Yukon Beer ...
Their website is www.yukonbeer.com if you want to check it out.

OMG!!

What a HOOT!

You've GOT to visit that web site!
At least go to >>> http://yukonbeer.com/home.php/pages/ads/

That page has their Advertisements on it - all able to be viewed and heard.
The Ads are priceless! ... and some are almost X-rated!

Is ALL the brewery in Your Shop?
That's a bit more than "a corner" it takes up!

Do The Boys "brew" 24/7?

How many folks does it take to Brew & Manage & Sell?

The stuff we never knew ...

[sparks19]

Winter lager is not exactly in categories like Ale and Lager. it is a special brew Sam Adams made called winter lager. they added spices to it like cinnamon and other "wintery" seasonings.

... We have a great little brewery up here.
Their slogan is "beer worth freezing for" and it's true! ...
... I just bought a box of their newest flavor ... "Discovery Ale" ...

Stuart makes his own beer.
There are many, many methods and recipes ...

So I be thinkin ... "the great lil brewery" is where Stuart cooks his beer!

Followed later by >>>

Their website is www.yukonbeer.com if you want to check it out.

Oh well ...
Read between the lines and jump to dumm conclusions!
I thunk the "THEIR" was a reference to Stuart & Dad & Company ...
didn't realize we'd changed references and gone Pro ...

Oh, that's not our brewery.
That's a commercial outfit.

Ours takes up a small corner of the shop and maxs out at ten gallons at a time.
Yukon Breweries takes up a large building -- right across the street from my vet's clinic ...
which has proven handy a time or two!

Whatever ... <removes foot from mouth ...>
that Yukon Beer site is well worth a visit ... their Ads are close to Super Bowl Quality!
You have to play some of 'em twice to get ALL the hidden gems ...

This is a yummy thread

Living in a beer area of course I appreciate it. But I like to sample whatever I find abroad- US and Canada have lovely microbreweries, I like British ales and even in Germany there are differences: The North and West love the dry Pilsner like lagers, the Bavarians have it rather golden and mellow and some very strong sweet beers like our local Weihenstephan Korbinian. Yummy!
