Wild Ales

[djohst]

Seems like every time I get together with my buddies these days someone is poring me a wild ale. Don't know much about them but do know they are definitely hit or miss - Sometimes I can't wait for a second bottle to be cracked - Other times I feel like I am in some kind of mouth-puckering Hell. Any recommendations on a few I could give a try to see where I fall on the sourness scale?

 

[jivex5k1]

Wait I made a scale a while ago...

Found it!

So that should pretty much answer all your questions.

Drink the ones that end with "-tion."

While still true on occasion (I'm looking at you, Rougess), their beers are rarely as overwhelmingly sour as they were a few years ago. IMO, at least.

OTOH, YMMV. LYMI. TTYL!

I tend to agree that they have balanced out the acidity in MOST of the new stuff...

Not saying that I haven't had any that melt the enamel off my teeth either. MAN UP!

Awesome! - Who knew it could be so simple?!?!

I'll give them a try and let you know - I have a cousin who's a dentist so I'm covered if things end badly...

Sounds like I should be trying to track down some Russian River bottles. Beatification, Consecration - could turn into a truly religious experience...

Grab a bottle of Cuvée Renee gueze from your local shop and report back with what you think of it.

Floodland is a doing great job of not making stomach wrecking warhead beer.

I mostly trade for brussel sprout recipes these days.

If you're holding any with bacon or balsamic, hook a brother up

Nope. Just trying to get a bit of education. Learning about Wild Ales and (potentially) Brussel Sprouts - curious what will be next!

I owe you a box so here’s a freebie

Get a good amount of aluminum foil, roll up the edges to create kind of a bowl, place 2-3 slices of thick cut bacon in the bottom, about half a stick of butter cubed up along the bottom, slice half an onion and drop it in there, then drop a dozen or so brussel sprouts on top of it all. Sprinkle with a bit of salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Then roll that foil closed and place on a grill for 30 minutes or so depending on the temp. The hardest part is having enough foil.

I’ll do this along side a few steaks and it’s always a hit.

I'd be surprised if there's equal parts sprouts to that much fat.

Don’t fat shame. You’re better than that.

Seriously though the butter helps carmalize the onions. Flavor is off the charts fam

I find that it's more someone mentions wanting to try something in a random thread and then a week later a box shows up. They usually get your info from tosh

This album was such a disappointment. Their first album was so ****ing good. This was simply. Not good as all.

Agreed but this is a great song and video

 

[djohst]

Gave the Trillium Red Currant a try today. They have this whole Fated Farmer series going. Definitely not high-end and can't speak for the other ales in the series, but this one wasn't bad. Tart but not sourly abusive. Wonder how it would be with brussel sprouts...

I spent such a stupid amount of time on a joke that doesn't really work.

Yeah, sorry, it’s pretty terrible, really. The picture/image doesn’t really line up with the sentiment of the joke. And “but still not wild ale” is just kind of an awkward phrase. And “But still not a wild ale” is only marginally better.

I get where you were going with it though. I’ll just say, C- is still a passing grade.

Nah that was all kind of the point though. I think you are being unfair. I was parodying the popular lambic with something intentionally awkward. Personally I rate myself: Genius

I know that feeling.
