Diggnation Beer

[ironroute]

Well this post is especially for Kevin and Dan,

The next time you guys are on Diggnation, I recommend you guys try Asahi Beer from Japan.
When I traveled to Tokyo last December, that beer was the main stuff they were pushing and dudes were quenching! Since I wanted to congratulate you guys on Diggnation 1yr Anniversary Show, even though I am a little late.
Asahi, pronounced ‘A-sa-hee’, means ‘Rising Sun’, and you guys know that Diggnation is the Rising Sun. With a little imagination, the possibilities are endless, exactly what you guys did!

So the next time you guys are on the show, don’t forget my post and try to get them Asahi beers.

As for the rest of the readers drinking now..drink responsibly!

:rolleyes:

[bman]

there is a Beer thread, where you could of asked this....

just letting ya know

[AdamZX]

he probably wanted to make sure they saw it

[diggaddict]

Just like my Avatar,

Digg Beer - great idea!

Some of my friends and I are about to brew a batch of beer is it possable to send it to Kevin and friends for there evaluation? We plan on makeing a Honey Amber Ale.

You might want to check out the Diggnation Address (http://revision3.com/forum/showthread.php?t=524) thread. Be aware that shipping alcohol can be an issue, so check with FedEx/UPS first (I think USPS is a no go for that sort of package anyway).

Did you find a recipe or make it up. You have to be careful about brewing with honey because different types of honey can do funky things while they ferment.

I wouldn't use more than a pound of honey per 5-gallon batch.

[rhett803]

Pound of honey per 5 gallon..... For some reason that sounds high to me, for beer anyway. But I haven't really bothered with beer. Let us all know how it turns out!

I do brew some good old country wine, true Southern style. I'll probably send Alex a bottle, not sure if Kevin drinks wine. I know Alex and Heather do on Ctrlaltchicken.

[masherscf]

Notice I said "not more than". The character of the beer will be significantly effected by that much honey. Franky, I'm not sure why you would even bother with honey beer. Honey doesn't really add anything interesting.

Oddly enough, the address thread evolved into how to mail homebrew beer, so check what we discussed there.

And. It is soooo odd that you are making a honey beer. My latest vidcast that I am editing this week is a honey wheat beer that we made for our friends wedding. part one should be up by the end of the weekend. You can check out our first six podcasts through iTunes:

http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=172851077

or on the website: (click on "homebrew")

http://www.swillburgbrewery.com/

Let us know how it comes out.

Have you made beer before? It is much fun, and, if you buy the more expensive store bought beers, much cheaper in the long run.

I'll be sending the Diggnation guys a sampler pack once we have enough beer that we don't drink immediately. :D

Accept, I tend to spend as much as much as $40 for a 5-gallon batch. Hardly a savings if you're used to drinking Bud.

[Kylehamilton]

Thank you for all your advice, yea I basicly just wanted to make sure that it would be ok to mail my home brew and such

I'm thinking of doing a Amber Ale but with Maple Surup, i've hear some good things done with Maple and it might be a intresting experment, we should really get a homebrew group going

-Kyle

[rhett803]

I've never tried a honey beer. Will give it ago one day. If you got some extra honey around make some mead.

As for shipping, I'd definately go with like an overnight or 2 day ship. Less time its out in the world, less time it has to be screwed over.

[sagep88]

its called woodchuck...its a apple cider/with alcohol. Strongbo is also made by the same people.

[betoldi]

and the other one the same company makes is strongbow, thats why the guy has a bow.

Its not beer, its cider, and its the only thing better then beer if you ask me. On the other hand, woodpecker is about the worse one you can find. Strongbow is much better, and if you can get Scrumpy Jack, well then youre in for the real deal.

[masherscf]

Hard Cider is not beer.

[tokenuser]

Hard Cider is not beer.Not that there is anything wrong with Hard Cider either ... but Strongbow/Woodpecker are pretty generic hard ciders, and you can get much better "microbrew" ciders ... and WoodChuck is one of the better microbrews.

Similar names, but completely different flavour. I am a fan of the Woodchuck Granny Smith (http://www.bevmo.com/productinfo.asp?sku=00000021675&). Nice alternative to drinking beer - especially ice cold over summer.

[kowgod]

Leinenkugel's makes a damn good cider during the summer months. For the life of me I can't remember what they call it. But it's delicious.

sounds friggin amazing...wish I could try it. (just noticed quotes are working)

[acidburn]

Woodchuck also has a pear cider variety. Look for a variety twelve pack. It has all of their varieties. Dark & Dry (amazing), Amber (standard hard cider, very good), Granny Smith (sweet and tart, tastes a bit like what would happen if Pez made an alcohol beverage) and Pear (also sweet, but not too tart).

[juancarlos]

If anyone is in Arizona stop by the Four Peaks Brewery in Tempe. Around this time the Pumpkin Porter is excellent. What is the address to send the diggnation crew some suds?

[tokenuser]

The stickied Diggnation Address / PO thread doesn't give it away?

At least have a read of what is on the forums before making a thread like this.

[masherscf]

Pumpkin Porter is excellent.

Veggie beers are kinda hit-and-miss with me. Can you describe it?

[WeedHappy]

Pumkin Porter! OMG! That's so Harry Potterish, and yet, now I MUST try it. Thx for the new obsession,.. Pumkin porter (he mumbles) where shall I find THAT in Jersey?

What I can't my mind around in Harry Potter is the Butter Beer. WTF is that! I mean, some cultures fermented horse milk but cows milk is mostly unfermentable by brewers yeast. That means mold or bacteria. Maybe it's sort of a yogurty cheesy drink. In an case ,it sounds vile.

[krisgesling]

I was having an awesome beer whilst watching #83, it was called Piraat and had like 2 and a half standard drinks, it was like a fusion of beer and port. Definately try it out. Otherwise checkout any James Squire or any Coopers, both excellent Aussie brewers.

Sorry dude, Kevin has always been down on Belgian styles that aren't weren't wheat based. I think he expects his beer to taste like beer. Piraat is like 10% alcohol though. Of course, 10% isn't even twice alcohol content of the Northwestern American pale ales that Alex favors.

[Bigrock]

I guess sending them some of that strong unibroue from canada is out of the question then eh... some of those, are like 10 %. great stuff, much fun.

[lsman11]

im actually a pretty decent fan of the canadian beers, seem to get buzzed faster, cant confirm but i remember them having more % alcohol or something

[silentspyder]

Cerveza Aguila. Personally Cerveza Costeña is my favorite Colombian beer but I haven't seen it in the states.

[masherscf]

Somebody sent them Unibroue last year. Kevin thought it tasted like ass. Honestly, I love Kevin, but great beer is wasted on his lips.

[iammarkus]

First off love your shows. Makes the week!!!
Beer!! Dudes! you need to try Innis & Gunn Limited beer. Its not cheap but fricken great! Better than that rhino piss you were drinking last cast.

Keep up the shows!
Mark
:cool:

[magunwarrior]

Just email them, you have a better chance of being noticed.

[comhcinc]

or better yet send them some

[magunwarrior]

I'm still contemplating sending them a box with a rubber penis inside it. Get it, Dick in a box.

*Waits until someone stills his idea*

[revebo]

Go with 211 Steel Reserve 8% best white trash brew that doesnt taste bad.. At 6.27 a 12 pack it aint a bad deal..

[DMT]

Find a good microbrewery in your area. Sending them beer with a letter should grab their attention.

[wxrocks]

Forgive me if I am breaking forum rules, but I only browsed for a few minutes after joining and needed to get this suggestion out there!

Everyone, as well as Kevin and Alex, need to try -- Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy --. Yes, yes -- it is Lemonade flavored beer and I thought, "this is gonna suck." But, I am a fan of Leinies, so I tried it. Frickin' awesome beer! When it gets nice and warm like it has been here in Minnesota, it tastes like a million dollars!

So grab some Summer Shandy for the show, and you'll be sold!

[alexsk8ca]

Hmmm..I bet I can't get that here, damn small ass liquor store doesn't even have my favorite rum, I hate small towns. But in the summer I like to drink MGD because it tastes like water.

[tokenuser]

A shandy is something you can order in just about any pub in Australia ... Lemonade (7up/Sprite) and Beer. OK, its a girlie drink - an OLD girlie drink. The sort of thing my nan drinks :) ... but, its actually pretty refereshing when its hot ;)

Since this is a summer beer thread, its a good chance to share one of the best beer commercials I have seen in ages.

[masherscf]

Most brew-pubs that know what it is will serve you a "shandy".

There's also a drink called a "Snake bite" that is hard cider mixed with Pale Ale.

I gravitate toward colder lagers in the summer. However, as most places serve their beer ice cold, it's a moot point.

[tokenuser]

I gravitate toward colder lagers in the summer. However, as most places serve their beer ice cold, it's a moot point.I agree. I also like a lighter beer in summer ... not a "domestic" beer, but something like a Corona (yeah -even with the lime), an IPA, or similar. Newcastle is as heavy as I go during hot weather.

[lacaid]

Samuel Adams Summer Ale ftw.

[masherscf]

, an IPA, or similar.

IPA hah! Can you find a bona-fide IPA through commercial channels? Most commercially available IPA's are misnamed ordinary Pale Ales.

India Pale Ale (IPA) was the name of the style of brew sent to the British Troops in India to keep them docile. The beer wasn't actually made in India. You couldn't make beer in equatorial countries until the onset of modern refrigeration. Brewing yeast gets a little funky when the mercury goes higher than 75 degrees F. In any case, the IPA had to be both higher gravity and heavily hopped in order to endure the trip to India from England. The jostling in the ships hold would keep the yeast in suspension longer then normal, this would result in a higher rate of alcohol conversion than normal Pale Ale. The beer would often take on an oaken flavor from the oak casks it was aged in.

The result is a very woody, bitter beer with a pretty heavy punch. Most bars that serve it find that people normally only take one or two before they quit.

It's not what we call a "session beer."

The beer is expensive to brew and it most be aged a bit so it is expensive to store. Then people don't drink very much of it. It's just not a good marketing choice.

Therfore, most commercial IPAs are just slightly hoppier Pale Ales.

You are correct though - most of what we get is not the real mccoy, but I do like the extra hops.

I'm a hop-head. IPA is one of my favorite styles. Although, A great APA (american Pale ale) is also a winner. American pales (like Seirra Nevada Pale Ale or Anchor Liberty Ale) are delivery systems for world class Pacific Northwest Hops like Cascade and Willamette. These beers are heavy with hop fragrance when they're fresh. A good Pale Ale hopped with Cascade aroma is better than dozen roses in your face as far as I'm concerned.

British Pale ales (like Bass Ale - the classic 'Impostor' Pale Ale) are pretty hoppy, but much less fragrant.

Damn, now I'm thirsty.

Those wine geeks have nothing on a real beer geek...

Those wine geeks have nothing on a real beer geek...I am a fan of Sierra Nevada, but like a Corona - I have to be in the mood for it. Love it with seafood (food and beer pairings?)

As for wine geeks ... I spent last Saturday going winery to winery in the NY Finger Lakes area. Its a great way to spend the day. Had some utter UTTER crap - but found some gems in there as well. (Cobblestone Farm Winery (http://www.cobblestonefarmwinery.com/) has a magnificent Vignoles - sweeter than I normally like, almost muscat in quality, but outstanding). Goosewatch Winery
(http://www.goosewatch.com/) has some sickly sweet "cooler" style fortified wines (ie fruit brandies), but they also have a White Port - and again, it is outstanding.

Whats the point? I like beer, I like wine. I really like going to different wineries. Unfortunately, breweries tend not to be side by side, so its a lot harder to do a microbrewery tour.

Sorry - slight diversion. but still alcohol related.

Back to summer beers. Go to Outback Steakhouse ... they now have REAL Aussie beers, like Coopers, and Tooheys Draught. Finally, a realisation that Fosters is NOT Ausrtalian for beer.

I spent last Saturday at Niagara Falls, we might have passed on the highway around Binghamton.Fly to Rochester Thursday, rented a car at Rochester on Friday (once my wifes conference was over). Funny enough, we went to the American side of the falls on Friday. We had only ever done the Canadian side, so that was a different view (but we did have our passports in case we wanted to cross the bridge).

Back on topic, I had a Sierra Nevada with my prime rib at the restaurant we had dinner at. It also went well with the stuffed sole fillet that my wife shared with me.

My wife was fascinated by the ice flows in the river. I think we have a brazillian (thats now been defined as a number right?) photos from that island bit sticking out in the American falls side.

Sorry - we weren't looking for families. In fact, we tend to avoid kids in crowds. We were there late afternoon 5:30ish. Probably passed real close to each other :)

Because I enjoy German style wheat beers, I really enjoy Leinies. You can join their free "club" on their website, and I actually get their newsletter via mail every quarter.

Anyway, as part of this club, I got to vote on naming the beer -- I liked the name "Lakehouse Lemon" myself -- for Summer Shandy doesn't perfectly fit the taste of this beer. I thought -- yeah, great, another sugar coated malt liquor. However, this is much more subtle -- It's much like the lemon was concentrated, then just "hinted" into the beer. It is very refreshing, and I cannot wait for the 1st 90 degree day to drink 12 of these!

[j34nn07]

Brahma FTS (for the summer). Tastier than the Corona, but still tastes like water. With lime and slow reggae music in the background and some tuna's steaks on the grill sizzling...

[betoldi]

I live kinda far so i cant really send beers in (by the way, didnt see a thread about beer suggestions so i just went ahead with this). Anyways, just realized my favorite beer is now available in the US, and i think Kevin and Alex should definetely try it! Its called Franziskaner (www.franziskaner.com) and its the oldest brewery in munich (founded in 1363!!)... Its really different from ales and its a kick ass refreshing beer with a weird but nice sort of aftertaste.

anyways, hope they can find it and try it out!

[AriaStar]

LOL, I read that as FrankenSkanker for some reason.

[stra8egic]

It's a South African beer but very nice!!! Kinda like XXXX Aussie Beer. Have you guys ever tried any Aussie Beers?

[professorparc]

look you have to try this beer................

its from humbolt, ca
you know.

you can get it all over cali it's serious

"LOST COAST" = company "GREAT WHITE" = the beer

get it.
drink it.
LOVE IT.

[frankiethewaffle]

Isn't Franziskaner the name of a German Speed Skater chick in a previous Olympics? I remember her posing for a picture in body paint instead of her skating attire. Very hot. The only thing that seperated her from the hottest model was her strong and healthy thighs. Mmmmm. Just asking.

[betoldi]

what are you all going on about? skunker? south africa? naked skater?

Franziskaner is a Munich Weissbier, which means its a wheat beer... Its really old school form like the 14th century originally and it kicks ass. Unlike lagers, it has both ethyl and methyl alcohol, which some people say makes for a worst hangover then other beers, but i really think its the smoothes, most refreshing, less hangovery beer in the world. Try it out guys, it apparently comming to the US this summer.

[AdamC]

Love this beer, one of my favorites at least as far as Hef's go. I second the Lost Coast statement, although as I've been going to a lot of specialty beer bars lately I've noticed that the ole Great White is almost like the Budweiser of the upper tier of beers.

Personally, some of my faves happen to be Rogue, Ska, and Nimbus Brewing. Well really only Nimbus because it's brewed right here in hot as hell Tucson and tastes good on a hot day :) Cheers!

[frankiethewaffle]

No No really. Maybe she was from as far back as the '94 olympics. But some beautiful chick from Germany had posed in grey body paint that looked like the outfit. She was incredible. Her name was something like Fanzen-schomething. I was just asking. One of the hottest pics ever man.

I am yet to see it in any of my regular "import special" haunts (Beverages and More (BevMo), Total Wine, CostPlus, or WholeFoods). On the up side - I am seeing Coopers (Yellow, Green, and Red) more often, and I believe that BlueTongue (a microbrew out of Newcastle) is going to be imported (because they are owned by one of the wineries that exports to the USA - I just hope they also export their Ginger Beer ... that is awesome).

In any case, I don't think the boys could handle an Aussie beer. If they are pissed after two local brews, an Aussie brew would floor them before they even start the show ;)

Don't you mean Fosters? Since its Australian for beer and all?[/joke]Fosters - Californian for Chicken? (Love the Foster Farms chciken ads :) )

Fosters is an imported beer - FROM CANADA! (brewed under licence by Molsen). If you get a chance, try Fosters Special Bitter (something I actually used to drink back home) - comes in a green can (and is available in the US) - its not bad. Much better than Fosters Lager.

Do Aussie brews have a higher alcohol content than normal? Is it like an IPA or something?

Yep. An Australian "light beer" (low alcohol - not low carbs) is roughtly equivalent to the average US beer. Regular Aussie beer is NOT as potent as the Unibroue (Quebec? Montreal??) Canadian brews though - man, at 8% or more, those have a kick and a half.

8% or more? What is the most beer has 12% or 16% I don't drink beer, so I don't really know. I look at it like this if it has less than 40% don't touch the stuff. 90% is prefered though.....:D

Dude! I wish I coulda met you when you were in town! I woulda taken you to the store "beers of the world" here in Rochester. (sorry, no website anymore). They are basically a wharehouse store of beer, think Costco, Sams's Club, with nothing but beer, beer making supplies, and a little corner with exotic soda pop. Every country has their own aisle. Place is AMAZING!

When making my podcast, we filmed some stuff there. (the infamous Fausto's family owns the place.) I should slap some outtakes on the web. I did a whole pan up and down all the aises thang...

I may try beer if it has a shot of everclear in it that should make it nice and strong.

[p_frank]

Australia has some pretty great beers, I'd argue that Toohey's isn't one of them ;)

Matilda Bay used to be an awful brewery, but it turned it ALL around with their microbrew styled stuff. Beez Kneez, a honey infused wheat beer is fantastic.

St. Arnous is pretty great, as far as wheat beers from Australia go.

I still like Hahn Premium, as it's a fairly easy to drink beer. Most people consider it kind-of shitty though.

Little Creatures does some super fruity beer as well.

I don't know much about it, other than I drank alot of it over my vacation, but this is copied straight from their site...

It is brewed by the Margaritaville Brewing Co. In Jacksonville Florida
They like to call it an island style lager

[vtfanatic6]

actually, nevermind, it is a product of Anheuser-Busch, just with Jimmy Buffett's endorsement. It resembles a dark apple juice, and smells like most other brews by them

I wonder if I could get my Dad to drink this stuff, he's madly in love with both... I don't know if I could pry regular budweiser out of his hands though, I can't get him to drink anything else.

Not a big Anheuser-Busch fan here.
I'd like to suggest Rogue's - Dead Guy Ale.
I also like belgian whites in he summer and 2 winter seasonal beers I enjoy are Sierra Nevada's Celebration Ale and my #1 fave is Sam Smith's Winter Welcome.
ps stay away from St. Sammislaus (I think thats how its spelled)... its about $20 (US) a 6 pack and I'm generally a fan of dark beer so I thought it might be decent... but I hated it. Gave it to friends of mine that enjoy thick Guiness Extra Stout type beer and they took a sip or 2 and poured it out also.

lol that is so funny. you were all about it until you found out Anheuser-Busch.

not trendy enough for ya it is.:rolleyes:

haha no that's not it, i just thought it was one of those kind of beers that you feel is kind of local and not known by many people and then you figure out it is owned by pretty much the largest brewing company there is, seeing as they were bought.

Haha no thats not it. It's just one of those beers you think is kind of local and not many people know about it and then I found out that it's owned by what is now the largest brewing company in the world lol

I've tried it and I wasn't particularly impressed. It's not awful, just not anything special. I'll stick with Blue Moon methinks.

[cubswillwin]

Kevin and Alex should try out Kingfisher beer. All-indian beer that tastes amazing. It might be kind of hard to find, but it is one awesome beer. If you want an indian beer, have that.

You guys need to get some Newcastle for an episode.

I think they have. But I could be confusing that with Boddingtons, I always confuse those names. :o

Yes, they've had Newcastle on there before.

[PeppersGhost]

I know they have, but it's been a while.

[rabidbadger]

what they need is a sixer of incredible Swillburg Turbo Hog (X)PA (extra pale ale)

I want to try that.

[rabidbadger]

sorry. we made two carboys. long gone. Did taste tests. this one won. friggen expensive, but worth every penny.

[PeppersGhost]

What are the laws of shipping brew? I thought it was illegal to ship anything with alcohol but somehow it's legal to sell bottles over the internet? Can someone clear this up for me.

[rabidbadger]

Ya pretty much can't send liquor or any liquids through the us mail. But UPS etc, is fine. Not sure about selling over state/county lines, though, unless you deal with the taxes.

[PeppersGhost]

Thank you.

I love the show guys, just wanted to suggest my favorite beer. It is from a little brewery in Shiner, Tx:

Shiner Beers (aka Shiner Bock)

I really really like the "bock" and "Black"

Keep up the good work!

[xfuuey]

Thought we should start a new list of beers for Alex and Kevin to try on the show, unless they have tried every beer in the world, which I'm thinking could be very possible.
Here's some suggestions (with their origins) to start the list.

Sweetwater 420 Lager - Atlanta, GA
Sweetwater Blue - Atlanta, GA
Yuengling - Pottsville, PA
Speakeasy Prohibition Ale - San Francisco, CA
Abita Amber - New Orleans, LA
Abita Purple Haze- New Orleans, LA

Everyone else throw in ya thoughts and suggestions.

I love how the administration decided to turn my thread "New Beer Suggestion List" into a post on someone else's thread. The whole idea for a new list was for it to be ...well new. not feed someone else's replies. oh well. try those beers though

Were any of your suggestions in the "old" list? How about instead of adding to existing threads people just create a new thread for everything they want to post?

You'll get over it.

BTW - Current favorite beer "Hell's Belle" ... a Belgian style ale from the "Big Boss Brewing Company" in Raleigh NC. Surprised that (while I do live in NC) it was in the local supermarket.
