TLDR Beer Club

[SL__72]

I have added like 4 threads to my favorites list today... all dealing with beer/drinking.

I think we should focus on food next, because good food and good drinks go hand in hand.


Also, has anyone ever been to a big beer tasting event? I'm thinking about going to this one that is coming up in October in MN... maybe someone has even been to it before?

SL,

I have been to many big beer tasting events. They are great and always result in incoherent levels of drunkenness.

SL,

Look for some whiskey tastings to take that to the next level. OMFG, DEADLY.

My fiancee just tried the Warsteiner and she claims it tastes like crappy German water. Not much to it she said. I will investigate of course, but outlook seems poor for it.

Acoustix,

Warsteiner I'm fairly sure is a hefeweizen. I haven't tried it myself, but I've heard good things. DFH 60 is nothing short of great, and I'm glad you like it. As for highlighting a summary, sure, sounds good.

Warsteiner is a large German brewery that makes several different beers. Link to USA site.

They make a hefeweizen, but I have never seen it. What most people think of as Warsteiner is their pilsner, a good German lager. Their dark beer (Dunkel) has a little more body and flavor.

I'm with diablo. I don't like warsteiner but I'm also not a hef fan.

acoustix,

I like the trust you put in your fiancee's opinion.

[acoustix]

She actually drinks more beer than I do and generally has better taste than me. When she found me, I was drinking Bud Light and Corona. She introduced me to a little thing called Guinness. The rest as they say is history.

Beer: Moinette Brune
Style: Moinette (Ale)
Price: $9.70 for a 750ml bottle



Brewed by the world renowned Brasserie Dupont in Belgium comes this magnificent Moinette Ale. At a price of $9.70 for a 750ml, this may not be an 'every day' beer, but rather one to be enjoyed with a great meal, or simply when you feel like spoiling yourself.

Here is how it looks out of the glass:


Really a nice amber color.

The taste it slightly sweet, with a nutty and caramel taste. It is somewhat dry. It doesn't come out and shock you with an any overely sharp hop taste, but rather is a supremely balanced beer with a noticable herbal bouquet. There is a noticable alcohol taste, but it simply contributes to the well rounded taste this beer shows.

IMHO, a perfect example of the highest grade of Belgium brewing.

Grade: 5/5
