From the website of het Koelschip, stumbled on it @ bierblog.nl |
That is absolutely incredible bullshit, what they are doing. They call it an answer to BrewDogs end of history which suggests this is also beer. Every brewer can give such an answer if he takes a 5% Pilsner and gives ten times that much Wodka in it. He CANNOT call such a thing beer and should stop producing such a bullshit! |
Originally posted by kappldav123 Actually, if you look at what Koelschip wrote, you’ll see that they carefully avoid calling it beer. They always refer to it as a "beer product", which IMHO is fair enough. Of course, by implication they are saying that End of History isn’t really beer, either, and that’s fine by me. Freeze distilling a beer so it goes from 6% to 10% is fine, but to 55%? That’s not really beer any more. BTW, I wonder when the FDA and similar bodies are going to start being concerned by this. When you freeze distil alcoholic drinks you concentrate not just the ethanol, but also fusel alcohols (the stuff that makes bad moonshine taste like moonshine), and these can be harmful. I’m not saying there necessarily are problematic levels of fusel alcohols in End of History and the other 30-60% "beers". It depends how much there was in the initial beer, and of course I don’t know that. There certainly was no fusel taste in Tactical Nuclear Penguin. In Sink the Bismarck there was so much hops that any fusel would probably have drowned anyway. |
Originally posted by kappldav123 what mr nijboer does is not only trying to fool all others who do a fair contest(at the moment i got 43% Vol and i will try more,but not for the price of leaving the way of Reinheitsgebot/german purity law. its a regional special german law and i do not expect that beer must be produced in that way worldwide...but what koelschip does is the pure customer deception. this is also illegal by national dutch law.

I agree. It is total bullshit. |
We’ve already dealt with this - as far as we’re concerned Obilix isn’t beer and isn’t in the database. The other beers (End of History/Sink the Bismark/Schorchbrau) are because they use traditional methods. As far as we’re concerned, this debate is over. |
When this brewer (and others) would compete for this list: Top Ultralights than I would respect him! Not this silly ’contest’. |
