1:17 Keith : Sorry, we have already had a couple beers. **half a second later** Ned : OOOoOOOoooHHhh it's PINK Those two weren't even in the same ROOM together and they're still in sinc
The peanut one makes sense. People eat peanuts and drink beer sometimes. I'd like to try it. I tried jalapeño and a huckleberry beers once, they were both good.
The Young's Chocolate, Rogue's Voodoo and the banana bread ones are all good. You should have made them drink Rogue's Voodoo Bacon Maple Donut beer; that stuff is just weird.
I actually tried the double chocolate stout before. I had a close friend (who had turned 21 around the same time I did) come over to spend the night, and we kinda just ended up sitting around watching movies and trying different alcohols together. I had assumed because the stout was chocolate, I was going to end up liking it (because I love chocolate) but not only did it taste disgusting, it was also past its expiration date. I think maybe if I had tried it when it wasn't expired, I would have liked it, but at the same time, I'm not a huge beer person.
I doubt the expiration date would have made it taste any better. For whatever reason chocolate alcohol is just plain nasty. I've tried a chocolate wine and it was worse than the chocolate stout.
If you don't like stouts you won't like it. Chocolate stouts are not supposed to taste like chocolate either its what brewers name stouts with a darker malt flavor. They are actually really common too, its just people set the expectation of something sweet and get bitter... cause well its a beer. If you want actual chocolate taste try a Chocolate liquor.
If you're not a beer fan, you aren't going to like chocolate stouts. Many of them aren't even made with chocolate. The chocolate is often just referring to the type of barley used to make the beer.
everytime I see you comment I think of Harry Potter because of Nicholas Flamel and the whole sorcerer's stone thing and then I get a sudden craving to curl up on the couch and watch all 8 HP movies.
i think its better when they are alone because they dont get shy , but most of the time when the partner says something is bad then the other one says yeah aha without even tryin it
I've had all those, except for the lemon flavored Rogue beer in the pink bottle. I hate lemon flavored anything, so I've never had it. My favorite from this video has to be Peanut Butter Stout from Belching Beaver, which is just a few minutes away from where I live, here in San Diego. Right now they're doing beer floats with some of their sweet beers like the Milk Stout. I know, it sounds disgusting to mix beer with ice cream but it was actually pretty delicious.
MAKE YOUR VIDEOS LONGER!!! THAT WAY YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUMP OUT TONS OF CONTENT A DAY. WE'RE ALREADY ATTACHED THE EMPLOYEES SO WE WOULD WATCH A 10 MIN VIDEO WITH THEIR COMMENTARY!!!
Where I live these beers are as common as Budweiser or Kokanee or Pabst. I live in a "local, craft beer enthusiast" town, so we're overflowing with interesting beers to try!
"banana flavoured" is usually not the banana we're used to. it's usually the gros michelle and those went almost extinct. so. it IS banana flavored, just not the kind youre used to :)
1:23 - Chiffon is a cake Leavened with with Egg Whites! "A chiffon cake is a very light cake made with vegetable oil, eggs, sugar, flour, baking powder, and flavorings. It is a combination of both batter and foam type (sponge type) cakes. Instead of the traditional cake ingredient butter, vegetable oil is used; but this is difficult to beat enough air into. Therefore chiffon cakes, like angel cakes and other foam cakes, achieve a fluffy texture by beating egg whites until stiff and folding them into the cake batter before baking. Its aeration properties rely on both the quality of the meringue and the chemical leaveners. Its oil-based batter is initially blended before folding into the meringue."
According to German "Reinheitsgebot" from 1516, the only ingridients of beer are: water, barley and humulus. Beers which include anything else are not beers.
Captain Hero Accept that the German Purity Laws were strictly meant for German styles of Beer which include primarily Lagers and wheat ales. . Beer has been around since roughly 2,000 BC. and has contained many variations straying from these exact ingredients.
I talking about personal taste and not the global-marketing oriented capitalistic definition of "good" beer in america. I don't judge a beer as good or bad only because some statistics are claiming so. Those numbers on the ratings (on especially american websites) are results of the millions of dollars american beer Companys put into advertising so they are able to sell their products on a woldwide scale. That doesnt mean that German companys doesnt want to sell their products worldwide as well but they generally concentrate to sell their beer nationally and use traditional recepies that have roots before americas foundation as an state. Theres no way that american beer is in any way better than german beer in terms of taste and every exchange student that I met would just underline my point. American beer is quantitave good at dominating the wold by selling their product as the result of their marketing but trust me, visit Germany and the beer will haunt you while you dream because of its incredible taste.
SnakeEye s Beeradvocate is site with user reviews. It tends to lean more towards American beers, but even Ratebeer.com which has more of a European leaning still tends to rate American beers highly. Neither of them are significantly affected by advertising dollars from large breweries. It's also a bit silly to imply that the breweries garnering all these high reviews are the result of millions of dollars in advertising. Most of the good breweries in the US are small enough that they don't advertise anywhere near that scale. Some of them don't even distribute out of their home state and still get reviews like that. Take Heady Topper; it's one of the most highly rated DIPAs in the world and they don't even distribute outside of Vermont. It's so good that people that vacations to Vermont just to get the beer. Your whole rant seems like your taste in beer is fueled by patriotism rather than any sort of basis in fact. Try some actually good American beers before you make generalizations. There certainly are some good German beers; they just aren't so good that they'd "haunt" anyone.
***** Only because there are so many of you supporting your own. You do have some rather good breweries these days though, some of who's beer I'd like to sample.
Patrick HAS to be the cutest buzzfeed man. Notice that I didn't say hottest (that goes to Ben hands down), but Patrick looks like he'd be a great, supportive guy-friend who you may fall in love with after getting to know him
I knew America didnt know jack shit about beers, but these might be the worst I have seen. These only excist for people who dont like beer but still want to be seen drinking beer.
Now now, no need to idolize the European Beer, it can be quality in one of it's most refined forms but that's all it can be ... traditional taste. Now unfortunately you've found yourself coming across this video talking about just a /few/ of the crazy beers from the US* ... which some of them are not even American since Banana Bread and Double Chocolate are from Wells & Young's Ltd out of Bedford, UK. Don't be the grumpy old codger who wants to sit out on the porch mumbling on and on about "All them damned kids are bringing out all those newfangled beers these days. Well back in my day ..." Yada yada yada. Gotta lay off suckling the old grandmother's teet sometimes and join those of us out here in the era of craft experimentalism getting a fresh pair of tits every 5 seconds. It should be pointed out that craft experimentalism has only just recently arrived to the European countries. They've got to go toe-to-toe against the "(...) four states that account for one-third of all the breweries in the United States: California, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington." This is from an article back in February of last year, back then California had 509 breweries, Washington had 251, Colorado had 217, and Oregon had 208. So who knows how many more there are now. Oh and of course let's not forget that America is the second largest producer of Hops, seventh at barley, and one of the biggest producers of Beer Yeast (White Labs) is yep, in America. Bigger country, best ingredients, and the gumption to say, "Let's make something new!" Now of course, [rant over], I would never NOT drink anything if I ever got the chance to travel abroad and sample the sweet nectars of the European nations. I am nothing but certain that each and every beer would be nothing but pure perfection. The point is, don't dismiss the change, don't fear that which you do not understand. Cheers. ------- *I've actually drank all of the beers on this video, save for the lemon Beer, I'll probably get a chance when I visit Rogue Brewing again this Summer.
Many of these, specifically the chocolate stout, are styles of beer that do not deviate from the way those beers are normally made. They are no more "flavored" than beers that taste oaky, roasted, malty, or hoppy. Chocolate ales sometimes contain no chocolate and instead use a roasted malt that brings about coffee or chocolate like flavors and aromas. Some are brewed with cocoa but hardly any are flavored after the brewing process. Almost every beer but cheap light beers use variations of spices, malts, fruits, hops, herbs, and other ingredients during the brewing process to bring about specific flavors in their beer. Guinness, is supposedly brewing with espresso and cocoa. Only a handful of these beers are probably flavored after the brewing process, for instance the campfire beer uses gramcracker for its yeast/malt flavor which isn't uncommon at all, cocoa, and extract from the marshmallow plant. It is a stout/porter styled beer and hardly deviates from traditional beer recipes.
