I wish we got Crooked Stave in Michigan. I would be all over that! I had St. Bretta the other day and was soooo happy!Proposition: Iris is a Belgian-American Wild, not a lambic.
I, too, would do very nasty things for a 3L Temptation. I need one before my 40th, ideally well-before so it has plenty of time to age...
I also need much moar Crooked Stave.
Man, I haven't even had a Beat B1 yet.I wish we got Crooked Stave in Michigan. I would be all over that! I had St. Bretta the other day and was soooo happy!
I also had Framboise for a Cure thanks to schwartzoid. What a fantastic beer. However, I got up to use the bathroom and my girlfriend drank the rest of mine. She LOVES American Wilds (probably why she's dating me)
STORY: I'm sitting around one night drinking a Sanctification. Beth decides to take a sip. Now, up to this point, I have let her try all the beer I drank EXCEPT sours. I didn't want her getting hooked and drinking all of mine. She instantly fell in love! She asked if I had any more like it. I told her that they are all kept in the cellar on the right side of the wine rack and to grab a Russian River. She returns shortly after with a Beatification B1 asking if it was similar. I told her it was the same style. We opened it right there and split it between the two of us. It felt good.
Beth has!Man, I haven't even had a Beat B1 yet.
Right in the feels.Beth has!
No... She did really like the 4 bottles of Blueberry Eisbock we drank. It was her favorite.Right in the feels.
But I've had pH1, HAS BETH HAD THAT? HUH, BETH???
I haven't been impressed Crooked Stave yet, but I also haven't had Persica. Their **** tends to be all about Brett, and I think they use a strain I don't like.

This thread is turning into you vs. my girlfriend. It's weird because you are geographically closer to her than I am...
Yeah, I know, lots of people like their stuff. I just don't, man, okay? I think there's some weird **** about 100% brett beers that turns me off, at least with certain strains.i dislike this statement so ****ing hard.
My neckbeard is bigger than yours. I will duel you!!Operation steal Michigan's girlfriend has already begun.
It's not going very well.
I got a new beard trimmer recently and I don't know how to use it very well, so my neckbeard is actually kinda long right now. Also I'm not sure how you duel with neckbeards.My neckbeard is bigger than yours. I will duel you!!
Ahh 2008 3L Temptation last Christmas. I will never forget it!
At RR they have a 9L Temptation bottle. Apparently the glass alone cost them $80. SO JELLY.

What is the name of your right hand?Beth has!

It must be the strain that's not doing it for you. Many times Chad has said that they might be more Brett. strains than there are Sach. strains. I believe he is using one that has been isolated from 3F, do you find anything that you don't like in any of 3F beers?Operation steal Michigan's girlfriend has already begun.

any personal standouts from the group?
Well, to be fair I started this thread mostly because SeaWatchman said that the lambic thread wasn't the American Wild Ale thread. But, regardless, is there a problem with not liking 100% brett beers? And 3F beers have a lot more going on. My problem with the CS beers I've had is that there's this one flavor (that I find hard to describe) that gets really prevalent in 100% brett beers, and I only find in 100% brett beers, and all of their stuff has it. 3F lambic has lots of other stuff going on so I don't notice it.Please don't take this as snarky but...
You start an "American Wild Ale Thread" then say that one of the few (maybe only) breweries that focus themselves around Brettanomyces and say it "isn't your thing". Can you give some more examples of Wild Ales that you prefer, besides

I actually like Sanctification, which is what makes me think it's a specific strain that bugs me. I know that different strains can do weird things, like the one that makes pineapple flavors (clausinii, IIRC).Sanctification is awesome and all Brett baby.
Yeah you don't have to worry about me chasing down CS, but I do have a drinking buddy in their club so I end up tasting a lot of it.Clearly, Stu, you are a communist.
I love CS beers.
(Actually I am GLAD you don't because it means one less neckbeard I have to out race for something I like)
And best AWA? Funky South Paw....there I said it.
At the time, the Sahalie and Rueuze were fun also
I think cascade tastes like yum.Bruery nailed it all year if you like acid. I loved them.
Bored with RR sours. Well made but rarely anything new.
Cascade tastes like bandaids.
ISO Crooked Stave
JILL.What is the name of your right hand?
Send it to me. ThanksYeah you don't have to worry about me chasing down CS
sour in the rye with kumquats is yum.The Bruery is the worst. Like literally Somalia. It's that bad. Amirite MrVonzipper ???
Sanctification is awesome and all Brett baby.
A lot of the CS beers aren't all-brett by that standard, either, though, as they use extensive bugs on most of their beers. All-brett usually just means no sacchromyces, which both Sanctification and things like Vielle meet.It's not though. Primary with brett only, then gets a full dose of cultures. Horribly misleading label.
It's (IMO) the biggest reason alot of folks think Brett=sour.
Agreed on it being a tasty beer though!
OMG THE WORST!! Like On the Yard, Prison Mouth Rape, The Worst. Just Unpalatable. When are they gonna give up?The Bruery is the worst. Like literally Somalia. It's that bad. Amirite MrVonzipper ???
Some shitty Jackie O's beer. ****ing horrible, no reason to seek it out, ever.What's Funky South Paw? I think I've heard about it but I don't know its story.
