All right.  We haven’t posted a silly poll in a while.  I thought I would put this one up.

I have been mulling over lagers over the past couple of days and I have whittled down the list to two choices.

The results of this poll will decide which one I brew.

Ok readers, I am giving you the power. Whatever the majority chooses will be my first lager attempt.

Giddyup!

So if you have been following this blog, you know that I just completed my first all grain brew session.  I had the fruits of my labor this weekend and I plan to write up a review of the beer.

In between drinking beer and thinking about the beer review, I got to thinking about all grain brewing vs. extract brewing.  When I was researching reasons to brew all grain, one reason was to avoid the dreaded extract beer “twang”.  I have don’t think I have tasted a twang before, so I thought I would create a poll.

Do you know what this twang is?:

Please vote and let us know what you think.

Take the Brew Dudes Poll!   We try to do one of these every few months or so.

The topic this time around:  It’s all about All Grain brewing:

Please add other choices if the default ones don’t apply to you.

We think All Grain Brewing is a natural progression in the hobby of homebrewing.

What say you?

As another year winds down, we here at brew-dudes.com want to take a little time to reflect.  We should look at our brew year’s resolutions and see how many we actually accomplished.  I know I missed a few.

But all this looking back should really just help our plans for the future.  So when looking ahead to the new year, what are your plans?

Not the most in-depth poll, but you can add your detailed thoughts to this post by leaving a comment.

Thanks for visiting. Here’s to a happy 2009.

We are knee deep into Autumn, so here is the result of our Fall Beer Poll.

The beer style you are most looking forward to drinking this Autumn is: Oktoberfest!

Thanks for making our poll a success.  If you don’t like the winner, the poll is still open.  Click here for the Autumn Beer Poll!

Brew On!   Hopefully you have some Oktoberfest nearby.

I just saw the weather report, and we are supposed to experience the crisp, cool air of Autumn tomorrow. 

Now I like to hold on to Summer for as long as I can, but with football starting up and some of the leaves changing color…it’s time to start thinking of Autumn beers.

We like to do polls here at Brew-Dudes.com.  We did a Summer Beer Poll.  We should probably do an Autumn Beer Poll as well.

So, let your vote be seen.  What style are you looking forward to drinking this Autumn?

We will report on the winning style in a future post.

We ran a poll last month to elect the summer beer of 2008.  Now that the poll is on the second page of the blog and the summer solstice is quickly approaching, I felt it was appropriate to announce the summer beer of 2008: Hefeweizen!

Honorable mention goes to Witbier and Specialty Summer Ale. 

No love for the Mexican Lager or the Milk Stout. 

So, go forth and brew, drink, and celebrate Hefeweizens this summer!
