I like the Beard Beer. It's not as wild as one would assume. It's a pretty tame farmhouse. Very drinkable.

I'm on to homebrew Amarillo (not) wheat. I'm not sure what happened here. The only thing I can assume is that the old stoner dude at the homebrew store burned me again and milled me something that wasn't my order. But, as with the last time it happened, the beer is good... The last time he merged two orders into one. This time it's not at all what my recipe was that I sent over. I don't detect wheat at all. It's more of an amber IPA-ish kinda thing. Kealia clued me into this when he sampled it, and I've had a few since then that presented similarly. RDWHAHAB... It's a pretty tasty beer.

really ? gonna have to try it, landbier pronounced luntbier(country beer) was one of my fav. types in germany. i'll have to give this a shot (assuming i can get it here).

Gray's Oatmeal Stout again...incredibly disappointed to find that they are twistoffs though and that whole 6 pack has been a wash for collecting bottles...

Landbier is a pretty diverse style. It traditionally was just whatever the local easy to drink (lightly hopped, lower abv - what we would call sessionable) beer was in the countryside. It might be dark, might be light, might have just about any kind of German malt or hop in it. Do you remember what the particular brand or local place you were in?

yes very diverse like commons were here(bitd). lol i don't think too many GIs forget where they were stationed lol. i was in, Kitzingen Germany, then it was FRG. like many GIs i use to collect the lables off every type of beer i tried. long story short, the kids found them i only have a very few left, They all need to be glad i didn't discover that 'till after they all moved out. i have tried to search for landbier in Kitzingen but the search parameters weren't good enough it only resulted in a definiton of a landbier. i was hoping for a picture of lables, i think i'll know it when i see it(lord knows i drank enough of them). i've also searched BA with no luck. if anybody has a suggestion on how to search for this , don't be shy speak right up. where i was it was a dark variety, but in Wurzburg (about a half hour ride on the local) the style was a light colored beer.

Kesselring or Brauerei Wolf perhaps? Both make an amber landbier. If you enter those into google images I believe you will find labels. I dunno there are probably 10 or more other possibilities, lots of little local breweries that have been around since 1700s or earlier in those parts.

I'm drinking Southern English Brown.

EDIT: Here some quick links for you:

checked those 2 no, but as always has opened more "brands" to investigate. i'll let you know if any prove fruitful. below is a explination of landbier but only think the part i put in () and made bold to be germain to our discussion.(how's that for a 50 cent word?;)) gonna take awhile to search all the links also re-look at landbier pic in the search(could've been added since i last looked)





LANDBIER

Pronunciation guide for English-speakers:
"lunt-beer" (pronounce the "a" and "d" in "land" like the "u"
and "t" in "but")
Definition:
Literally "country beer," Landbier is a general term denoting a simple everyday session or quaffing brew. As an easy-drinking beer, it is usually not too hoppy. Its other characteristics, however, are fairly undefined. A Landbier is usually golden-yellow, but it may also be dark; it may be filtered like a Pils or unfiltered like a Kellerbier, and its alcohol by volume level may range between 4.8% and 5.3%. (For many breweries, the term Landbier has more to do with branding a particular line of beer than with brewing a beer according to a style definition.) Landbiers are made throughout Germany.

Feelin good on some PPS Hard Cider. Good stuff, 1.5 yrs old.

My father in law had a bottle of Golden Pilsner that I brewed early this year. I thought all of them were consumed, so I grabbed it out of the fridge and poured it for myself. It was fantastic! It was my first and only lager I've ever brewed, and I always thought it was a little too fruity sweet, perhaps from using too much extract, and too much flavor hops. But time had mellowed it out very well and was quite crisp.

Time heals all wounds. I'm drinking my last bottle of "Dog will Hunt" It was great & will be brewed again. Definitely in the rotation.

More brown ale.

Yazoo Rye Saison while watching the Iron Bowl... Picked up a case of call-backs (still on the shelf when it was time to rotate in the fall seasonal [Fall Lager]) for $20 at the brewery last night, using a $25 gift card that was purchased on Black Friday for $20. So, you could say I got it for $15. Not a bad price, and a great beer that doesn't mind the age (bottled 6/27).



While at the taproom, had a nice discussion with Linus about the upcoming efforts of the lobbying group. Their last successful lobby was to stabilize the beer tax in TN (which is the highest in the country), and the new effort will be to remove the ABV restriction for beer sales. Currently anything above 6.2% cannot be sold in a beer store or served at a bar with a beer license. For that reason, Yazoo cannot serve some of its own beers in its taproom (they have obtained a day-long liquor license for festivals in the past if they intended to serve hi-gravs), and you can't buy the entire line of Yazoo (or anyone else) at the same store. My relative in for the holiday was shocked when I told her that I'd have to make two stops for her beer request (Ranger and Fat Tire), but that's just common here. A few stores have a beer store and wine store next to each other, so you have to exit one store and enter another to make such purchase. This effort will run hand-in-hand with the wine in groceries efforts, which have the similar problem of not being able to sell wine bottles in store. Linus mentioned that they will coordinate efforts with the wine lobby, but they don't want to be coupled to that bill and would rather be a separate bill, as that bill has failed several years in a row and they want to stand on their own merits. Enjoyed the conversation... Linus is always fun to talk to...
