edenman Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Tapping party this wednesday (1/31, 7pm) at my place, for my latest beer, a hoppy american wheat (7.6%). I'm calling it "Curious George" since the aroma has big notes of banana (also clove, spice), and it's hopped with a ton of european noble hops (Hallertau, Fuggles). There's also a limited amount of imperial stout (10%), also fairly hoppy but overwhelmed by the size. Available while it lasts. If you want to swing by for a pint or 3, lemme know here or by PM. My place is pretty small, but I can probably accomodate at least another 10-15 in addition to my friends that i've already invited. I'm a couple blocks NE of dupont circle, but I'll avoid posting location specifics here...will relay details via PM once I figure out how many people are coming.

edenman Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 Only had a small handfew of Yes responses, so there's plenty of room if anybody else is on the fence. Those of you that I already PMd with details, see you tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shogun Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Isn't beer better when it conditions longer? I'd advise rescheduling for on or about Feb 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edenman Posted February 2, 2007 Author Share Posted February 2, 2007 Isn't beer better when it conditions longer? I'd advise rescheduling for on or about Feb 16. Don't worry, we only finished one of the two kegs. There's another 5 gallons of hoppy wheaty goodness left in my fridge, and it'll be there for at least another month. And according to experts, supposedly beers with lots of hop flavor don't age that well. Bitterness, yes. Flavor, no. That said, there is apparently a bar in Belgium where they have Orval vintages from up to 20 years ago (Orval is the hoppiest of the trappist ales). Anybody else heard of this? I heard about it at a beer tasting recently and I scribbled down "Literkirken" but that spelling doesn't seem to be right: google turns up nada.

Google + mock Flemish mojo = success. Here you go: De Heeren van Liedekercke (which is actually in Denderleeuw...the owners are originally from Liedekercke). More info here.

I'm planning a two-week (beer) trip to Belgium this fall and this will be a welcome addition to the intinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
