Homebrew Tasting

Posted by John in General

Yesterday, a few of us got together to do a BJCP-type tasting of the homebrews we have available. Those brews included:

  • Kolsch
  • American Pale Ale
  • American India Pale Ale
  • Oatmeal Stout
  • Maple Porter

We also had an apple cider that Mike got from a brewer he met on the Brewing KB. It was fermented with wild yeast, crystal clear, and light in color. It was phenomenal.

When we get together to drink beer, usually we are just being social and having a good time. This time, we read about the styles and focused on what we were tasting. We didn’t take notes, but I think we learned a lot because we took the time to really understand the flavors of each sample.

And we had a good time too.

Now, if we can get another bottle of that apple cider. :)
