Free Beer Buddy Knowledge and Wisdom for 2009:

Posted by Mark Dallmeyer in Untagged 

m.dallmeyer
In 2008 etiquette and health helped explode this website into the fine culture of local free beer appreciation. In 2009, we are faced with the dire task to engage free beer, Good Times and the hope of prosperity into our economy. These free beer advocates still hold the credentials of beer to the highest standards.
For 2009, one Hot Spot that demands a local following is Cricket Hill Brewery in the heartland of northern New Jersey. This is the best beer produced on the planet earth with 5 o'clock tours on Fridays. Here, true beer is a devotion to Rick Reed and brewer Dave that produce the best protocol for taste and refreshment.
Next on top priority is development of new beers committed to ingredients such as the expansion of dedicated hops, Green Teas, Coffee and other brewery ingenuity to enlighten our personal enjoyment of beer. 2009 is the year to prepare beer routines that expand intellectual prosperity that empowers local economies. A strong impact to the economy in 2009 is the famous German bitters called Underberg that work well as a food digestive and frees the palat for another round of beer.

Temperature Matters

Posted by Henry Bentley in Untagged

Ales are produced using top fermenting yeast that usually ferment at warmer temperatures than the yeasts used in lagers . Fermenting at higher temperatures imparts more malt sweetness and flavor that may give a fruitiness or spiciness to the taste and aroma of the beer. Lagers are fermented at a lower temperature utilizing bottom-fermenting yeast and go through a long second stage of aging and

Beer in Boston at the Sam Adams American Dream Event:

Posted by Mark Dallmeyer in Untagged 

m.dallmeyer
   The Boston Brewery is an easy location in the Jamaica Plains section south of Boston within walking distance of the subway.   The true secret is that you can get delicious beer if you plan it right.   As it happens, I’m on a short list of contacts based upon persistence and convincing myself that I can write about the pleasures of beer with all the wrong sentence structure and beer stories that go on and on.   The best way to get to the front of the line is to show your credentials as a beer writer with a couple of comments to show.   Also, have a pad and pen handy and look like a Beer writer and, “YOU’RE IN”.  It may help if you blog about it on Free Beer Buddy. Micro brewers are interested in any opportunity to promote their beers.

* Here’s our Shotgun approach to beer slogging by Mark Dallmeyer:

 

Know your Beer Parameters, Keep in touch with the Main Line, Focus on Everybody and Don’t Miss a Thing.  Sound like a busy day?   Well here’s my backup.

 

Let’s look at the key factor for Beer.   It is in the presentation.    The benefit of Beer is created when it is poured correctly.  From draft or bottle, the volume of gas in a beer is both beneficial and also detrimental for consumption of food.   Letting the co2 contents flow to the top of the poured glass is best done by creating a professional beer head.   In this, we eliminate the volume of gas stored in each bottle, which can range up to 3 bottles of bubbles pressured into just one bottle of beer.   Most servers tend to keep the head small and think that the taste is improved, but this is not true. Today, most beer has a combination gas called beer gas that tends to effect the freshness of beer if not handed properly.  Being unaware of beer gas is OK for most people but this is a sure way to make sure we pour the best beer possible.

 

Bubbles in Beer have been the limitation for its presentation at the dining room table.   Most decisions to take beer off the table occur because beer has the tendency to fill us up rather than complement food.   By releasing the stored gas within Beer by pouring it correctly can bring beer back to the table as a first choice.    On its own, Beer would have been pushed further and further from the table and hence, profitability.  

 

Getting Beer on the table after the initial social event is important.   Beer releases our natural tendency to relax because it is the ultimate satisfaction of thirst.   This enjoyment provides the best opportunities to open up special presentations, events and make it a wonderful dining experience all around us.  It is the Peace beyond all understanding at the end of the day and a way to get the most out of your decision to serve Beer in your high end restaurant.

 

Let’s look to enjoy the company.

Beer is the backbone that lifts purchasing volumes within the entire establishment.  The key to understanding Beer in its place is its true satisfaction for thirst.   High end estimates for patron clients’ spending money on Beer, Wine, or Spirits has typically chosen to push Beer from the elegant table.  Beer is however, the ultimate money maker for the entire establishment and the most powerful elimination of Thirst at the end of a long day when you need more clientele the most.

Not A Pansy Beer

Arrogant Bastard Ale:

This is an Aggressive Beer! You probably won't like it. It is doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth. I would suggest that you stick to more safer and more familiar territory - Maybe something like piss light, or should I say Bud Light. You know something with a multi-million dollar ad campaign aimed at

Great Orlando Beer Festival

Posted by Henry Bentley in Untagged 

henrybent

On Saturday May 17, 2008.Orlando hosted its first annual "Great Orlando Beer Festival".

In my humble opinion, for a first time event, they did a superb job.  Any takers to make this a weekend event say in Zellwood? One thing I appreciated was "the big guy's" were not present. I also enjoyed the large selection to choose from. Many different styles and flavors. Some of the beer names were unforgettable. How about Rogue's "Dead Guy" or Avery's "White Rascal" and  Heavy Seas "Peg Leg" Imperial Stout

. Then there was an interesting story about "1812 Amber Ale" (more to come on this).

The first beer I would like to review is the White Rascal. A truly authentic Belgian style wheat or "white" ale, this White Rascal is unfiltered and cleverly spiced with coriander and Curacao orange peel producing a refreshingly fruity thirst quencher. A great summer brew. Light and refreshing with a nice finish that keep on asking for more.
