Seemed appropriate to have a malty beer to finish the hops challenge.  The six week hops challenge came to an end. Our results were split. Marissa went from disliking hops to finding good flavors in hoppy beers. Brian M remained the same throughout the test. He understands why people use hops, but it is not a flavor he enjoys.

Both beers of summer. Week four of the hops challenge came in. We are starting to see a change in perception of hoppy beers. Marissa reported that the beer didn't taste like weeds this time and it went down smoother and the hops hit more in the aftertaste. However she is still not a lover of hops but can tolerate them better now.  Brian M. on the other hand reported little to no change in hops perception.

Thanks for listening Trying three beers at 11% and higher ABV is probably a questionable practice, but we did it anyway.  In order of ABV and tasting; Quadrium Ale from Urthel Samaranth (11%), Belzebuth from Brasserie Grain D'Orge (13%), and The Beast from Avery Brewing (16.31%).  For music we pulled a band that we've enjoyed many times.

To commemorate the event they released their aptly named 100 Commemorator brew and brought back the Kosmo's Reserve Lager. Having had the opportunity to enjoy some of their beer in the past we thought we should give this pair a go.

We were joined by Trevor, Thunderhead's Owner and Brewer and Steve, who ensures the pub runs smoothly. As an early Christmas present we had the joy of comparing last years Tiny Tim (Gold Medal Winner 2008 International Mead Festival) and the new Tiny Tim from this year. Trevor changed the recipe and while both are great holiday brews, there are distinctly different beers. Weather and time permitting, we strongly recommendreccomend getting out to Thunderhead to grab a pint and a growler to aid the holiday cheer. We also sampled the Ginger Beer. A favorite of mine since I first had it in October. Since then the Ginger has mellowed and the malt flavor has emerged quite nicely. It is fun to seen how the beer developed in just a few months. podcast Beers of the Week: We did a little holiday traveling this week and enjoyed the hospitality of Thunderhead Brewing in Kearney, NE.
