Thinking of brewing a raspberry wheat for the summer.  If I do, I may name it after our own Raz.

Lazy Magnolia Brewery Song of the South Berliner Weisse. It's berlinerweissey.

That's one style that has been neglected by most breweries around here.  I have a hankering for a nice Berliner Weisse, maybe without so much fruit stuff.

I have my brown ale in the secondary (it's gonna be a little on the sweet side since I fell a little short of the final gravity) and brewed a single hop Galaxy pale ale last night.

Might collaborate with a buddy of mine who has a mash tun and do an all-grain barleywine to be bottled sometime before Christmas.

I did a Brown Ale once.  I was trying to mimic Newcastle but it came out tasting more like Samuel Smith Nut Brown, which is by no means a bad thing.

I like making brown ales because you can relax and not worry about being too precise about everything.  They're very forgiving and if you mess something up it will still taste good.  They're the best beer to brew as a beginner's first batch, but of course these days everyone wants to do an bourbon barrel coffee imperial stout as their first.

I think I did a cream ale as my first.  A beginner should definitely start with an ale vs. a lager.

Grab some Oarsman Ale by Bell's.  I think it's amazing.  Apparently the online rating sites have no fucking clue what a Berliner Weisse should taste like.  I just looked it up and... wow.

I think one of my local bottle shops carries pretty much everything from Bell's.  I'll check that out.

Another style that trips people up is Gose.  "OMG it's sour and salty!"

Such a great vintage. I'd wait another couple of years though for the tannins to soften a little.

I don't have any of the good stuff cellared and ready to drink at the moment. At least another few years before the Leoville-Poyferre 2008 comes round.

Will stick to Rhones and Beaujolais until then and hope the Chinese continue to crack down on corruption and the  Bordeaux market continues to deflate back to semi-reasonable levels.

Definitely.  If it isn't hopped beyond recognition, it isn't a legitimate beer for a lot of people.  I cannot wait for the IPA fad to die away.  It's already on the downward trend, which is nice to see.  There are so many great styles of beer out there, that everyone going apeshit over IPA's and overhopping everything is incredibly annoying and silly in my opinion.

I really liked the Gose beers I've had (once to try it from a brewpub in Burlington, and once in Boston when I was given it by mistake, instead of the pilsner I'd ordered -- quite a surprise, as you can imagine.)
