In an effort to get more people using the forum is there any desire to pick a different style (or some theme) each month to “celebrate” or drink and discuss? I know we have a What ya drinkin’ thread but this would be something different. This gives people a chance to drink something they tend to walk past or return to some old standards. Basically, it that gives us some reason to pick up a beer we hadn’t drank in a while or never tried and then discuss it a bit online.
I know the forums are not too active but throwing it out there in case anyone takes the bait.
I just had one at a brewery watching US England World Cup match the other day. Should save that antidote for potential thread please ignore. #coldipa4life
Lots of fun ideas and plenty time to try them all. Perhaps starting with something simple for this month? Maybe, some holiday beer? Anything that is named or created for a wintertime holiday? That would be a pretty broad category. More narrow would be a winter spice beer. Or even more narrow would be any beer with Christmas (or similar) in the name.
Not that I’ve seen and I need a handful more to get 20 of style that I’m trying for each. Athletic brewing I saw on Instagram is realizing a special one but that would get categorized as low alcohol and no use.
Had a couple so far… Don’t mind Christmassy beers, prefer the cakey stuff over the spice-heavy stuff. The Cloudwater cranberry and orange sour is done pretty well… that Brick sour was way over spiced… huge chilli burn down the throat.
