I like it quite a lot better than Glenlivet.

Beer? I'm still a local brewery guy. As my iaijutsu sensei is located in Pottsville, PA though, I'm redeveloping my taste for Yuengling...that's local to him.

Iceman, Single malt is our (Bartender and I) beverage of choice for the trail, too. On steak night we break out a liter of cabernet ala the forbidden Nalgene bottle. Beer is too heavy, so hops night is town night.

May I join you for a rootbeer? I've been skipping down the path to happy destiny since 1985.

Why cant someone invent powdered beer so we could just add water to it on the trail. And that idea is worth millions!!!!

**MOREHEAD** · 12-20-2005, 10:06

My favorite trail beer is whatever was just bottled at the Morehead Brewery.

Morehead, founder and head brewmaster of the Morehead Brewery

Freeze it about 3/4 of the way to solid, pour off whatever doesn't freeze into a coke bottle and carry it on your next hike. At camp add water back to equal the original fluid oz's. You will either:
A-love it and buy me a REAL beer if we ever meet, or...
B-be cured forever of any desire to drink beer on the trail

P.S It's an old time method for making brandy from wine.

Also known as eisenbier! On my ever-growing list of things to do. Best if you start with a bock, then follow the above directions. (I'm a home-brewer

).

Yes, I have built a 15 gallon all grain brewery. it puts out an outstanding beer for about 15-30 cents a bottle (depending on style). Yum

I'd love to move to a 15 gallon, but I simply don't have the space. What sort of beers do you prefer to brew? I like the heavys; Imperial Stouts, wee heavies, barley wines, that sort of thing. My club teases me all the time about someday brewing something I can drink more than one of! For some reason, they also think I'm afraid of hops.

I have all of the above in the cellar but I am shifting to a lighter style. my last batch was a dark lager. I find that I like to drink to much to only have a selection of the heavy stuff. This weekend I will do an american lager.
