Another good video!

Definitely give us links or bottle close-ups, so its easier to track the brew down.

Quinn's Amber Ale - Wachusett Brewing Company -- http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/20/27

Celtic Red - Harpoon Brewery --http://www.harpoonbrewery.com/beer/119/Celtic-Red

Julius Echter (You'll have to find the link, I can't quite match the bottle with a listing).

Gotta get the yeast sludge into the glass with a wheat beer. Use a bigger glass and slosh a bit of the beer at the bottom of the bottle to get the remaining yeast, or kick the yeast up off the bottom before pouring by slowly rolling the sealed bottle over a flat surface (or turning the bottle upside-down for a minute or 2) until it is mixed in with the beer. It can be a bit chunky in the bottle, but it'll generally stretch out and diffuse through the pouring process.

Quinn's is definitely on the lighter end of an amber ale, but it looks like the color counts. It sounds like a light session beer, definitely acceptable for the style. Celtic Red sounds more like the stronger end of the style.

I love watching the head on the hefe slowly receding but still hold strong over the course of the video. At least 50% wheat malt had to go into it, and the rest of it is probably more wheat plus pilsner malt. The yeast is a major feature with a hefe, and the beer would taste exceptionally different with an American wheat yeast.

Hah, beer cocktails. Make a beer float with Lindeman's Framboise Lambic and some good quality vanilla ice cream like the do at Yard House restaurants!

Zymurgy, the study of fermentation.


I'd like to see you do just one beer, giving the name and metrics of the beer, talking about the history of the style, what its supposed to have in it, and why it is in the glass you selected for it. And drink the whole thing, talk about how the aroma and flavor change as the beer warms up, because a lot of beers gain character as they warm.
