Message AZBennett beers 115 º 11:39 Sun 3/24/2013 I realize from a craft beer drinkers perspective saying Ranger/Rampant are better than Henry Weinhards isn’t saying much but I don’t think Ranger/Rampants core audience is the craft beer drinker. I think they want to use those beers as gateway beers. And I think they are catering the LoF series towards ceaft beer drinkers.
Message tennisjoel P beers 2229 º places 53 º 08:35 Mon 3/25/2013 Originally posted by 3fourths Originally posted by Trev The Lips of Faith stuff has been (especially recently) a lot more adventurous and inventive than the Smokestacks. wow, sorry, I disagree 100% with this. New Belgium has a talent for throwing things together without putting any thought into the final product. Random spices, fruit and vegetables added without reason to poorly-made base beer. New Belgium beers are also force-carbonated and pasteurized, while the Smokestack series are unpasteurized and bottle-conditioned (and Boulevard remains one of the few American breweries doing bottle-conditioning right). you use the word inventive and I think that’s a poor choice. NBB is throwing darts at the wall and hoping something works, but few of their beers do. Boulevard, meanwhile, offers a brett Saison with actual live brettanomyces in it, they make one of the best Belgian-style imperial stouts in the world, and even the over-done ho-hum wheat wine style (Harvest Dance) shows they are at the top of the game. +1000
Message Quasimodo beers 217 º 17:16 Mon 3/25/2013 NB Brett Beer was almost as bad as Green Flash Rayon Vert. Both beers are train wrecks and were fun to drain pour.
