a point in time where it is not necessary cheers my argument against craft beer draught beer problems january 5 2015 january 22 2015 allen huerta 2015 acetobactor cicerone study draught beer faults lactobacillus off flavor pediococcus 4 comments whenever i go out to a bar or growler filling station i always give the brewer the benefit of the doubt that their beer is well made even if i don t particularly have a good track record with a specific brewery i feel that the beer unknown or an old favorite is one that will meet certain standards from the production to my glass i would assume that we have all experienced that pint that was just not right i know the enjoyment of a beer is a combination of many factors mood environment and service to name a few but there are times when everything you get makes you wonder is this really how it s supposed to taste maybe but there are other avenues to consider before you just write off a particular beer or brewery forever depending on the flavors you sense you could possibly find issues with old and dirty beer lines a lot of these issues are avoidable if the company knows what to look for or if they conduct regular maintenance of their equipment while some states have laws stating the lines are to be cleaned every two weeks others don t in some states it s the bars responsibility to assure the lines are clean in others the distributors but even with regular cleaning improper service can cause issues in the flavor of your beer one of my biggest peeves while out drinking when i can see the beer poured is watching the faucet touch the glass and then proceeding to be dipped into the beer while there may not be issues immediately that s an unhygenic practice and promotes the growth of bacteria namely pediococcus and lactobacillus pediococcus is typically the bacteria that is associated with a buttery or butterscotch flavor in draught beer known as diacetyl lactobacillus on the other hand typically produces sour acidic flavors in your beer there is another source of bacteria that can sour draught beer acetobactor the difference in life cycle between acetobactor and the two above mentioned bacteria is that acetobactor is an aerobic bacteria while lactobacillus pediococcus are both anaerobic acetobactor grows in disgusting conditions to begin with so other than the effects it has on the beer it s not something a company would want in their draught lines the main places that acetobactor is found are dirty drains spill trays bar tops used bar rags which then make their way onto faucets and into your beer through a number of methods i ve had people ask me before i ve even contemplated this myself should we tell someone that their beers lines are possibly dirty should we send the beer back before i was not sure maybe i was scared of something i don t know but you should never be afraid to send a beer back and tell them about the issue you are experiencing it can help prevent the problem in the future and some may be excited to hear about it it could be an issue they had no idea about but that brings up a whole different set of issues though that more than likely falls on the establishment s policies there are other things that can go wrong with beer and not everything comes from the point of consumption these are just a few of the common issues you might hopefully not experience but if you do you might want to ask how often the beer lines faucets couplers are disassembled and cleaned cheers draught beer problems the session the beer book that isn t written january 2 2015 allen huerta 2015 classic styles lager new belgium nooner pilsner pilsner portage porter shift sierra nevada the session year round 1 comment it s been a while since i ve posted here 2013 was a pretty good year on my blog but 2014 was a total wash what happened who knows a lot of incomplete stories i told from the experiences i lived but what became of them 2014 was a great year in beer for me 2015 looks like it should shape up quite a bit better really only time will tell but the story needs to start somewhere where is that you might ask within the pages of the newest book that isn t written the book doesn t have a name it doesn t even have a single topic the only common thread is beer it s more about what is missing from our community but this causes a few issues what is missing for me may not be missing for you how is that possible a story about community that isn t equal across the board sounds about like life in the pages of my chapter in this book one thing i find that is missing is the common thread between beers what exactly do i mean we all share the same love for beer just at varying degrees even a beer that would be considered technically or stylistically bad is loved by someone beers that were once considered the best in the portfolio are looked at as overrated what happened have we forgotten what beer was like the constant evolution of styles and ingredients have lead to the same in the beers we drink if we can remember their roots we will not get lost in the world as some have though forgetting where these new and improved beers originated has created a gap that a certain percentage of us see while the majority of the community doesn t even realize that it exist eliminating the thread between past and present i feel that the major craft breweries have noticed this too getting back to their roots one thing i predicted for 2015 which we will see if it comes to pass in the next 12 months seems to already be getting it s feet off the ground while everyone is still trying to get their hands on rare and exotic beers or those brewed with ingredients of the same vein a few of the more popular craft breweries are taking a step back they are taking what some might consider a huge risk they are adding classic even historic beer styles to their catalog porters pilsners unnecessary risk basic innovation with the stigma of lagers in our world and the track record of lagers that were added to portfolios in the past only those who study and understand beer styles would be likely candidates to initially flock to try these beers while the uninitiated may pass over them because there is nothing magical about the beers by holding onto the common beer threads we can rediscover the passion and ingenuity that sparked the revolution we see today so what is this beer book that isn t written about what is my chapter within the text or maybe even just a single volume about the past present future of beer the missing link in our community or the need to sit back and relax while we appreciate what simplicity can bring us cheers the session the beer book that isn t written beer camp 118 the experience part 1 july 3 2014 allen huerta 2013 2014 beer camp beer camp 118 sierra nevada 2 comments when it comes to my time at beer camp i really don t know what to say or maybe how to say it i feel that no matter what i put down it will seem like i m being that guy with the really funny story that no one laughs at and then i would have to follow it up with well you had to be there which is kind of true in this case when i arrived in chico the first thing i did well i checked into my hotel room but after that i sent over to sierra nevada and got a seat at the bar the first beer i grabbed was the christmas jam session ale which was a collaboration with someone in asheville but that is not what is important it is just what kicked everything off after a few more beers more members of our group showed up plus the members of beer camp 117 we were told to make or way upstairs for a concert in the big room i honestly don t remember now who was playing but they had a pretty awesome sound and they were different even when they were covering popular songs beer camp had not even officially started yet but things just kept getting more awesome and more awesome did i mention that after the show we headed out to a local bar we may or may not have kicked every sierra nevada keg they had there at the time and possibly raced around the place on big wheels but not before snagging this photo and we may or may not have ended the night with a bottle share but that is enough about day zero well morning came why would they want to get started at 8am that makes no sense but we all made it we started the day by watching all of our videos and a little tour and beer but hey i don t care what time it is ever qa everybody qa it was shortly after this i got to taste torpedo straight from the fermenter i wondered if ever again torpedo would taste this good we just got a brief taste of the brewery at this time the tour was i guess an introduction to the brewery there was far more to see than what we saw but we had to get back to start discussing and determining our recipe we had quite a bit going back and forth on the recipe one of our first ideas a saison was kicked back because of available yeast we were considering a sour beer but that got kicked back also for obvious reasons we selected a few base styles we wanted to go for but it essentially came down to ipa yup a few of us tried to push for the wheat wine angle we ended up using a bit of wheat in our beer and kicked the abv up to 8 we had a huge selection of hops to go with and we discussed what flavors from malt we wanted and even the color etc etc etc we even thought it would be cool to age it on spanish cedar something we were totally able to do and give this beer it s own flair the brewers abraham and his team came up with the full recipe based on what we discussed it came out looking like this i cannot wait to taste it my party is coming up very soon this is just part 1 of this epic experience this was just the morning and i can t even do that justice here i don t know a way to help you experience it other than being there i will try though cheers beer camp 118 the experience part 1 beer camp 118 the journey july 2 2014 allen huerta 2013 2014 beer camp beer camp 118 grandma s closet sierra nevada the best beer in the world leave a comment well this has been a long time coming but with the sierra nevada beer camp across america variety box and the beer camp across america tour starting up soon i figured i might as well get this out now kind of build up to it and me going to mills river for the final stop of the tour so as annoying as i was here is the first part of my 3 or 4 or 5 part mini series on sierra nevada beer camp the journey the experience the spoils the box set and then mills river i hope you enjoy anyway you look at it chico it s a hell of a town i mean i have been there before but this time the experience was like none other and i really have everyone online to thank for it i know by the time you are reading this it is either too late or too close but if you can make it out to my party on july 12th in raleigh come out anyway you may not know much about chico other than the fact that is where sierra nevada resides so what is it some random college yes but there is more to it a world of magical mystics and wonder toward the end of last summer sierra nevada reopened their consumer beer camp contest this was the 3rd year that they have ran the beer camp contest publicly it is usually reserved for people within the industry bars distributors sales reps yada yada to explain to them the beer making process and what sierra nevada is doing that is innovative and above the rest they design and brew a beer during the camp while touring the facilities and tasting everything in sight when i found out about this contest i had to enter but you already knew that right the video i put together was called the best beer in the world which was pretty much a take on tenacious d s song and video tribute after the fact a buddy pointed out that i probably looked like an asshat because the videos from the rest of the group and even those who were not fortunate enough to get it were talking about how great sierra nevada s beer is and my video featured me brewing the best beer in the world no help from them it s a method it worked in this case i had a few employees tell me they pulled for my video so win the best beer in the world from l allen huerta on vimeo i submitted my video and then i had about 55 days to spam the internet and ask for as many votes as i could from the world i am sure you remember that especially those of you who blocked or unfollowed uncircled unwhatever it is you do i had a pretty good hold on 4th 5th place until about the last week i had dropped out of the running and then back up to 9th numerous times i was freaking out begging and pleading to have everyone help me the worst part of the whole voting process was when they decided to extend the contest another 15 days especially after i was promising that they only had to vote for me for 3 more days and then i would leave them alone from my constant spam i was drained at that point i seriously did not want to go on but being as close as i was i was not going to waste this chance the contest ended and i had just made the top 10 such a relief but then there was nothing to do for about 2 and a half months and then i arrived cheers beer camp 118 the journey tour de fat durham june 30 2014 july 19 2015 allen huerta 2014 bicycle parade carnie blood diamond view park durham
