Tasting

Side-by-side of a fresh vs. six-month Rauchbier. The aged one is pleasant, but the fresh bottle has a savoury depth that just is not there later.

Field note

Spent the morning with a criollo maize grower in Tlaxcala. Six landraces, each with a completely different mash behaviour. Notes and photos to follow.

Question

Anyone measured actual bitterness units on gesho-bittered beer? Standard IBU testing seems to under-read it dramatically.

Tasting

Kanro's unfiltered pils at 3 days old at the brewery vs. 3 weeks in a bottle — the fresh one is a different beer. Drink local, drink young.
