Craft Beer for Beginners. Editor’s note: This is a guest post by Tim Akimoff. It could be said that beer was the downfall of the hunter gatherer, the man of the woods, mountains and streams, the man with spear in hand whose need for meat was matched only by his need for shelter. After all, it was likely the propagation and harvest of the materials required to make beer that caused the famous bipedal wanderer to settle in one location. Or, you can think of it like this: Beer changed the world. Whatever your view of history, that fermented juice of water, barley, hops and yeast certainly played a big role in it.

One Beer Island | cravedfw. By Jeff Fryman What is your favorite beer? That is the question I hear most often. At first, it was flattering. The people I talk to trust and respect my opinion so much that they care to know my favorite beer. I cannot honestly answer. It’s extremely hard to pick a favorite when there are so many. The moment the quirky little dark maroon can is cracked, your nostrils are invaded by an aromatic onslaught reminiscent of disc-golf fields and Phish concerts without the added sweat and patchouli. This week, I would pick: Oskar Blues GUBNA. Oskar Blues GUBNA is an Imperial IPA made with 3 malts (North American 2-row barley, German Dark Munich Malt, Rye Malt) and a single hop variety(Summit) weighing in at 10% abv.

The GUB is a cute, brilliantly clear, light amber, topped with cool whip that slowly subsides leaving beautiful lacing. The expertly crafted Oskar Blues GUBNA displays everything that I love about beer. Like this: Like Loading...
