I always ask for local brewed and have to agree about selection, the Hilltop Pub must have had 7 or 8 different types of local ales, etc. on Tap. Nice to see them getting one over the big brewers.

If you do The Tour, the samples are cold.


Further, the nitrogen filled widgets in the cans (I hope whoever invented those was made a KNIGHT or something Elevated because the idea is so brilliant) to simulate the Draught Experience at home, need to be cold to function properly.

Never understood the allure of warm fcking Beer, I drink beer to be refreshed. :cheers:

[Not4you]

been there, done that. gone are the days of correct temperature beer. New laws were passed all across Europe and the UK that affected the pasteurization process. some pubs would still have the kegs being pulled from a cool celler. Some even had 2 taps for Guinness - 1 was the old stlye kept at around 50 degrees, the other the new "Extra Cold" that was closer to 38. Around the time that I moved back home it was harder and harder to find a pub that still have the original on tap, everywhere was moving to the Extra Cold variety - even in Dublin at the tour (the original was no longer available the second time I visited). While pasteurization laws did change, the main focus behind Guinness Extra Cold was that it appealed to lager drinkers and those previously not keen on stout. the colder the beer, the less the taste buds can sense, so cold stouts and heavy ales were marketed to the broader beer drinking market. And it worked, especially in North America.

Beer was meant to be "room temperature", but this is from back in the day when the room was in an old drafty castle, so the rooms were in the 50 degree range, not 70 like our homes today. Once poured the drinker would hold the glass in their hands to warm it a little more. "Warm" is wrong. This isn't about warm beer, it is about 'chilled' vs 'cold' - with chilled being warmer than cold, but not actually warm. Its the difference between warm (70+), chilled (50s) and cold (just above freezing).

The widget is a tool created to release nitrogen into the beer to create the correct head once the can/bottle is opened. Back when it first came out and up until the late 90s, if the can was opened when not cold, the nitrogen expansion would cause the can to overflow before it could be properly poured. In the late 90s the widget was modified so that this would not happen and the can could be opened with the beer now chilled not cold, the way it was intended.

[RedSN]

^^^agreed. Good beer should be cool. Not freezing, not warm.

Mmmm, nothing better than a nice Scottish cask ale. Out of all the beers I had on my British isles tour, Scotland was my favorite.

[Not4you]

From that area, I definitely agree. Belhaven had some nice beers. Of anywhere else, Belguim has some awesome beers too. I spent a lot of time in Antwerp when I lived over there and a local beer - De Koninck - was my fav.

[92redragtop]

Yeah, same thing with red wine - served at today's room temps means it's typically too warm.

[Not4you]

Yes. And the convention of holding red by the glass in your hand vs holding white by the stem was to warm the red (since it was served cool - medieval room temp) and keep the white colder.

[92redragtop]

Ditto!

[83 5.0]

I'm not a spirits drinker, but watching the variety of Whiskey's etc. on this thread are tempting me to try a few. Quite a variety now, it's not your dad's whiskey anymore.

[TheMustangShow]

^^ some of that stuff might be your Mom's whisky though lol.


http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-laughing013.gif

[Not4you]

Most of the new ones are simply your Dad's whisky with sugar/syrup/flavouring added to them. Pretty much anything new out there now that is "spiced", or honey, or vanilla, or maple, or this apple one, are all just with additives. Some taste nice. This apple one isn't too bad. The Forty Creek "Spike" is actually really good with Coke. Crown do the best maple IMO. Knob Creek and Canadian Club are far too sweet. They are a nice way for the distillers to increase share since they are nearly all incremental sales - regular whisky drinkers won't replace their standards with them but they will attract current non-whisky drinkers to the category.

If you are looking for decent drams that have some unique flavour, look for single malt scotch or other whisky that is matured in specific casks that add flavour notes. Collingwood matured in Maple wood casks and The Balvenie Caribbean Cask matured in old Rum casks are two I highly recommend.

Where did you get that?

Of all places, the Shell gas station @ Yonge + Green lane. I bought the last two bottles they had last night. I did a little research on it and it seems that the Company changed hands and of course, "doesn't taste like it used to". Having said that, it is not owned by Coke or Pepsi which in this case is a blessing. Well having never tried the "original", I will go on record as saying that it's a top shelf DRAUGHT-style root beer.

An absolute treat. Though I have yet to find a solid local retailer, I am looking. It is available online through several outlets, but I'd like to find a place nearby that keeps it on the shelf.

Hopefully you can find a bottle or six...

So polished of the 12year old Small Batch and picked up this Limited Edition, I kept a shot in the 12year old to try them back2back before the 12year was done.

The Limited has an incredible amount of flavour and a strong nose, but it is not as smooth as the 12 year old, which also has great flavour too. I would buy the 12year old Small Batch again, over this new Limited Edition.

I just got a "D" version of Forty Creek Confederation. The last one in a local LCBO. How much difference was there from "D" to "E" that you noticed?
Thanks.

[Not4you]

I had the "E" at the distillery and the "D" a few days later when I bought mine. So really hard to say. But, the two people at the distillery that I spoke too both agreed that there was enough of a difference to tell me about it and to tell me not to buy the one they had in stock but rather to go try to find the other one first.

I'm with you on the scotch. It's our preferred drink in our house. But since we only drink 18 yr old we don't have it too often... Mainly because I only buy it a few times a year at a hundo per bottle.. Lol

True. Not many stores carry it.. When we do get it, I transfer it into one of our crystal containers and keep it in the glass cabinet with some nice glasses for easy reach :)

don't limit yourself to 18 year. There are plenty of excellent 12+ yr that are just as good. Older is not always better.

I do love the makers 46 as well. That's a very nice drink!!

[baddbullitt]

I have yet to find a 12 year old scotch that I'd put on the same level as an 18. Ive tried many a scotch out there under 18 but they just didn't cut it for me. I am open to suggestions though...

[Not4you]

Age is far less important than flavour profile. So it depends on what you like - peaty vs sweet etc. If you only like the peaty/smoky stuff, you could love a 12yr Ardbeg, but absolutely hate a 21yr Balvenie. Make your selections based on taste before year.

What do you prefer for taste profile?

[HyperGT]

I am a pretty big scotch drinker - I Only say that because I think you are missing out.
While an 18 is great, it is not my default go to evening drink...i do agree they are special and i have 10 or so bottles of 18+ on the shelf.

That said here are some great ones, for the evening drink that are 8/10 , all ones I have currently.

1. Macallan 12 - rivals most 18's
2. Talisker 10
3. Jura Superstition
4. Johnnie Walker Green - amazing tast and value, very hard to find
5. Aberlour 12
6. Cardhu 12

Try them, everyones pallet is different (i dislike the most expensive peaty scotches) but these are worth drinking if you like smooth.
Edit love taking about scotch at 9am on Sunday, lol

[Not4you]

we should have a tasting party. everyone brings one bottle to talk about (tasting notes etc) and we cover off a spectrum from peat to sweet so that there is a range to taste from.

of course, everyone will need to bring their own DD too. lol

[baddbullitt]

I like that idea... A scotch party!! That would be great!!!

I prefer the nice oak'y notes in my scotch personally... Nice and smoooooth

I'm confused by this. There never seems to be enough wine in a single bottle to span over two dinners. Did you buy two of the same wine?

And if you are planning to pound them like that, after the first 2-3 shots, switch off to a Wisers or Johnny Red. Your taste buds won't know the difference, but your wallet will!!!

That looks delicious... beer store or LCBO?

[92redragtop]

LCBO - it's done in small batches so not always available. Maybe do a search on the LCBO website to see if any stores have it and where. First had a radler in an outdoor beer garden in Munich and found out it's a popular spring/summer concoction in Germany (usually mixed with lemonade or grapefruit). Ever since then, I make it myself in the summer by mixing German wheat/weiss beer and lemonade but also keep these on hand since it came out - it's awesome and flavoured with real grapefruit unlike a couple of the other competitor versions released around the same time (I think it first came out last summer).

I used to drink a lot of shandy and "lager top" (like a shandy but just a 'top-up' of lemon into a full beer rather than something closer to a 50:50 mix) when I lived in England. There was just something great about sitting on a patio at a pub, drinking shandy in the sun. Especially when the sun virtually never came out over there!

[99chromegt]

That's basically what I was doing in Munich - there is a large public park there with a restaurant with a nice patio so we'd sit out and enjoy the wheat beer/lemonade shandy mixture. Awesome.

Proud/surprised to here from him that he is appreciative of the way we have brought(bringing) him up. he has brought many situations of his current friends situations to topic. Which are not so good.
We, as a couple, refused to bring our kids up with "stuff". We instead have tried to instill values. It has been a hard road as most of their friends were just given things without some sort of education from the parent/s.
I am glad to hear that our words are not falling on "deaf ears."

Brewed in collingwood....they have a few nice beers.

[83 5.0]

Awesome to see the micro brewed beers getting good exposure, may not dent the Beer Store bottom line, but at least they can be like a mosquito annoying the shiite out of them!

I tried the Shock Top on tap, but I just can't seem to get a taste for the "White Beers".

^^ Good to know. I've tried Forty Creek Evolution & Double Barrel Reserve. Both are a win for me. I'm going to pick up a Confederation Oak & a Copper pot next and give those a taste. I still haven't made it to the distillery for a tour or tasting. Maybe tomorrow.

[Not4you]

I havent tried the Copper Pot yet, but their others are fantastic. As I have said before in this thread, the Confederation Oak is amazing. The perfect sipping whisky.

I tried The C-POT when it came out, good but, preferred the standard 40 Creek, so never purchased it again.

Oooh very nice! Heathrow?

[92redragtop]

This was last night actually - had to do a dish for a team thing at work so dish of choice was a vegetarian biriyani. Washed it down with a complementary white wine.

Hey HyperGT - are you going to drink those bottles or are they being saved in a collection or for a special occasion? If you're tipping them back, call me, I'd love to try something like that!!

[HyperGT]

Oooh very nice! Heathrow?

thanks!

No cannot get those at the Airport, at least not the 79 for sure.

Matt, wont be cracking open the 79 but for sure the other one. Have a 1970 Highland Park (bottled by Gordon & MacPhail) that is already open. Happy to give you a taste- it is pretty unique.

[RedSN]

Do I even want to know how much that whiskey is worth?
