Nice.

I noticed a bit of a contradiction, though:

---
Ink: Do your friends get annoyed when talk about flavors in beer like this?

Reinhardt: Anyone who lives with me or sees me on a regular basis knows my conversations are filled with pretty loquacious asides. A lot of verbiage. A lot of explanatory notes.

(snip)

Watkins: The issues I’ve had at tastings with people are not about whether they like the beer. It’s “I’m more geeky than you are. And I’m going to show you why I’m more geeky.”

Watkins impersonating a snooty beer drinker, sniffs his beer and says “I take subtle notes of pencil shavings with leather.”

Is it just me? Verbose and arcane descriptions are good, except when they’re not?

Also, that site got the descriptions of the upcoming fests mixed up (Strong Ale Fest at Legends, KC Beer Fest @ McCoy’s). Super stoked to hear about the Strong Ale Fest, though! I’ve really missed that one, since Power Plant closed down. I just hope there’s a little less vomiting at this one.

It was a fun time. Needless to say, I was a bit tipsy by the end of the session.

Bill wasn’t impersonating a "snooty beer drinker". I’ve heard that exact quote at multiple tasting. It’s is go to move....lol!!

Sorry. Couldn’t resist. So the 2010 BT was really that much better than ’09? Sorry i gave/traded both mIne away. Was the coconut on par with the fresh FW11?

I’m not shitting, but I just realized jtrockchalk and Joel are the same person. Cool! With that being said, I can imagine we have all been accused of being a bit beer geeky, I mean we are all on this site. Bill, you are going to receive some good natured ribbing for the article, but I thought it was very well done and they certainly picked the right people to talk to.
