Hello

Anyone who wants to post here is allowed. I wasn’t sure if anyone else posted here.

Sam Adams Summer Styles (SASS)

In preparation for the beer tasting on Sunday, I had my own on Friday. The SASS is a 12 pack with 6 varieties. You do the math.
Boston Lager, Boston Ale, Summer Ale, Cherry Wheat, Hefeweizen, and Pale Ale. I enjoyed them all except the Cherry Wheat. The other father brought a 6sixer of Sam Adams Brown Ale. Which I really liked. YUM!!! We even mixed 2 of them. But I can’t remember
which beers they were. It was at the end of the evening.

Well, since I can’t brew, I mix. Was that almost like Renee Des Carters? I think therefore I am. (Thanks Greg and Jennifer)

Not as good as I would have thought, but does the job. Would recommend if you like dark sweet beers that vanish into thin air.

Yes we did. The BBBC partied in style once again. We drank a shitload of beer. Some of it was even green. My hands were most of the day. Anyway it was great to get everyone together, some newbies and out of towners.

Black Dog Ale

This is a good beer. It makes you drunk. Why do they even make light beer?

Black Dog Ale won several medals in the 1990’s at the Great International Beer Tasting. It’s recognizable by its light copper color and fruity aroma. It is an English style amber ale with extraordinary drinkability, notable hoppiness and clean malt flavors.

Bigfoot Ale

You should drink this beer for one reason. It is 9.5% alcohol.

Sorry about the glare.

That is Greg’s hand. He didn’t actually drink one of these real beers though. He drank light shit a majority of the time.

Snake River Brewing Company

In Jackson Hole , Wyoming lies a wonderful Micro Brewery. The SRBC has a few really food beers. And one really bad one. My personal favorite beer is the Organic brew one (OB-1). It rivals all other beers I have ever had. The SRBC even ships. But alas not to MS. I think that the BBBC needs to get off of our asses and get a PO box in Louisiana. So we can ship beers from all over our great land here.

OB-1 Organic Ale is a federally certified, organic UK style amber ale. Snake River Brewing proud to be the first and only brewery to be making certified organics in the state of Wyoming.

Made from 100% organic ingredients, OB-1 utilizes organic 2-Row Pale malt, organic Carastan 120L, organic Munich 9L and organic Carastan 20L make up the nice amber hue.

The hop used for this beer is organic Hallertau, imported from New Zealand in both the brew kettle and dry-hopping as well. The only other ingredients are Teton mountain spring water and an imported strain of English ale yeast.

The starting gravity of OB-1 is 12.5 Plato and the beer finishes at 2.5 giving it an alcohol content of 5.2%
