Anyone interested in doing this with beer? Let me know, I will start a beer tasting thread.

I would love to start a "tasting club" here. I think it would introduce people to new wines, help train palettes, most importantly get people thinking and learning about wine.

heres how it would work:

-Every week/ 2 weeks someone picks a varietal and/or region- this can be chosen out of a hat or have a list set up.

Example- Joe_Smith picks- California Syrah
Everyone goes out and buys a bottle off CA syrah and posts tasting notes- we can eventually modify this to CA Syrah under $20 or Dry Creek Valley Syrah, etc.

-We come up with standard tasting guidelines- notes for sight / nose / taste - etc

- You can taste as many wines as you want to during the alloted time period.

What do you guys think? We can add some guidelines along the way.

Cigar City Jose Marti American Porter

Jbailey · 01-12-2011, 07:09 PM

Ale Asylum Ballistic.

coach33 · 01-12-2011, 07:57 PM

Nice looking bottles and i guess the taste matches the bottling. But, I never seen most of these brands, are they more regional or simply hidden jewels?

W.B. · 01-12-2011, 08:01 PM

This afternoon I had a Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout, really good.

Jbailey · 01-12-2011, 10:15 PM

Goose Island Bourbon County Stout on tap.

Terrapin is brewed in Georgia, and Cigar City is in Tampa, FL.

Bell's Best Brown last night. I can't wait for hopslam

cobra03 · 01-13-2011, 06:46 PM

Just found several bottles of Samuel Adams Triple Bock at a local beer store. Never had it and im not sure what year it is. Ive heard both good and bad about this beer but i figured for $6 it was worth a try. Anyone else try it?

kugie · 01-13-2011, 06:52 PM

When it first came out, years ago--I remember at the time that it was very thick and syrupy. I still have one bottle, probably 6 or 7 years old at this point. Not sure when I'll crack it. Would be interested to hear your thoughts.

Yeah thats what ive heard it was thick and heavy but i have also heard alot of people say it tastes like soy sauce.

I believe it was last made in 1997 so your bottle is more like 13 years old. Im going to crack it open this weekend i'll let you know how it is.

Tonight, just your plain old good Sam Adams Boston Lager.

Tonight I'm enjoying a Stone Smoked Porter. If you are ever in San Diego you have to visit Stone Brewery. They brew some amazing beers. Anyone get to try the vertical epic this year?
