Beer 101 for Ladies

schneidermike — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 01:35:56 +0000

I was asked to appear on Fitarella TV, a show on The Pulse Network and do a show on “beer for chicks”. I didn’t really think that was a great topic, but the host is my friend and she assured me that not many women like beer. I know this to be false, but I went on the show and we had a good time.

On Location: Austin Gingerman – Next Great Brewer

schneidermike — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 12:30:00 +0000

Kurt Heggland could be the next great brewer. I ran into the Austin Home Brew club at the Austin Gingerman and interviewed one of their stars.

4:36 chadnorthrup: ok, I’ll respect that. Can’t relate, but I’ll respect it
4:37 chadnorthrup: I want to virtually try them.
4:38 gregdelima: Does it taste as fruity as the smell?
4:40 jasmine_starr: I GOTTA QUESTION
4:40 cphadley: Well blow me down
4:40 cphadley: there you two are
4:40 gregdelima: I’d have to say the leftover taste on the tongue can be more important… ya know, the residue
4:40 chadnorthrup: the gnome!
4:40 Peplau: He really gets around
4:41 chadnorthrup: yep, I can hear
4:41 gregdelima: Yeah they’re good!
4:41 gregdelima: Guava or Pineapple more?
4:42 belchingmonkey: @qthrul
4:42 Peplau: Belching Monkey is rated ‘R’ for potential strong language and plastic gnomes.
4:43 belchingmonkey: @redsoxgnome
4:43 chadnorthrup: Jim!
4:43 chadnorthrup: what an all-star cast today
4:45 cphadley: Why am I not on the show
4:45 chadnorthrup: wait- what was the first beer called?
4:45 chadnorthrup: think I missed it
4:45 chadnorthrup: ahhh, gotcha
4:46 gregdelima:
4:46 gregdelima:
4:47 Peplau: sure
4:47 Peplau: try it now, greg
4:47 gregdelima: http://twitter.com/512brewing
4:47 gregdelima: http://512brewing.com
4:47 chadnorthrup: a passive IPA? Not sure I’d like that
4:48 cphadley: I’m with ya Chad. Need more punch than that in an IPA if I’m going to decide I want an IPA
4:48 chadnorthrup: agreed. I’d rather go for a different style if it’s going to be a weak IPA
4:49 MattUD: i also agree with that statement
4:49 Peplau: Belching Monkey is rated ‘R’ for unpleasant olfactory images.
4:49 gregdelima: Yeah cause Sierra Nevada is a garbage IPA…
4:50 gregdelima: yeah but too much malt in a “hoppy” IPA just sounds like an off kilter IPA
4:50 chadnorthrup: Is Sierra officially IPA though? I think it’s just pale, not India pale
4:51 chadnorthrup: yep, gotcha Jim
4:51 Peplau: Thanks, men.
4:52 gregdelima: @chad, just went to Sierra, they do not actually offer an INDIA PA, just a Pale Ale.
4:52 chadnorthrup: yep, thanks Greg. That’s what I was thinking
4:52 chadnorthrup: tried their Glissade last night btw. Not bad, very drinkable but not all that remarkable
4:53 gregdelima: Cannot say I’ve tried it, in Spain so my most recent beer explore was Belgian – Leffe Blonde
4:53 chadnorthrup: me too Mike- imperial ipa’s FTW
4:54 chadnorthrup: nice, haven’t had that one but I do like the Belgians
4:54 gregdelima: Which beer is this? Not the shin-guard beer right?
4:55 gregdelima: How many #NCRulesSXSW we have over there today?
5:01 MattUD: time to head out, later all
5:01 chadnorthrup: Columbus hops? Wow, can’t say I’ve tried that
5:01 chadnorthrup: later Matt
5:01 gregdelima: Read from here: http://www.liveoakbrewing.com/beer/
5:01 Peplau: So, it’s like the Stockholm Syndrome of beers, then?
5:02 chadnorthrup: now that’s an analogy!
5:02 gregdelima: 6.0% AVB
5:02 gregdelima: ABV*
5:04 gregdelima: Sorry Gents & Lady, must be off – hit me up later @gregdelima on twitter
5:05 Peplau: Is it too much trouble to turn the camera around and give us a shot of the bar & audience?
5:05 belchingmonkey: oh
5:05 Peplau: woops
5:05 Peplau: guess so
5:05 Peplau: I’ll check out the website
5:05 belchingmonkey: hold on

5:05 Peplau: Don’t need to refresh, it came back on its own
5:06 Peplau: Wow
5:06 chadnorthrup: that place IS heaven!
5:06 Peplau: They’d never allow a place like that in Boston. Too much fun. #MassIsAFunSponge
