What you sippin on?
- Thread starter UGLI baby
- Start date
So a little teaser...
It's the weekend which means it's time for another installment of "The Best Bang for Your Buck at the Utah State Liquor Store."
Tonight's entries are:
Icehouse Edge - A 24oz can clocking in at 8%abv. My surprise satisfaction with their 12oz 5.5%abv beer has me very intrigued how this is going to turn out. I think it's going to be hard to beat the ethanol per $ on this guy, so if I don't spit it out this will be the frontrunner.
Labatt Blue - Imported from exotic Canada. No abv listed so I'll have to look it up before posting my results.
Session Lager - I've seen these beers in their squat little bottles and today I finally picked one up. 5.1%abv and 11oz. It's not really a contender for most abv/$ but I wanted to try it anyway.
Stay tuned. I've got a busy night ahead of me.

I'm not trying to brag on myself but I had some UGLI Baby on tap the same time I tried the Pliney the Elder and after I drank some of the PTE I had to get a sample of UGLI Baby so I could tell them apart. Now, drinking them side-by-side, it isn't hard to tell them apart. PTE was a better beer. Finer. But they were pretty similar to me. Obvious both use a lot of Amarillo hops.
I was most excited for the Timothy Taylor Land Lord. It is essentially the most highly regarded Bitter in England. Turns out I really don't care for it much. It might have been old as hell and it's a beer served as a "real ale" https://www.camra.org.uk/en_US/about-real-ale so maybe I just didn't have a good representation of what it was. If I found myself in England I'm sure I'd give it another go. But it was kind of like seeing your idol acting like a prick to a handicapped kid for me. I had such high hopes.

Yikes, no.
You made an UGLI Baby beer? That is so uncool you are dead to me.

Haha, twice. The fact that you don't know this surprises me.
Turns out, it's ****ing amazing.
I just made a yeast starter tonight with the intention of making my second batch of #9. If you're trying to talk me out of it you're doing a good job.
EDIT: I actually bought this yeast intending to make the third batch of UGLI Baby but after seeing how good UK was doing I decided to make #9. I could always go back to my original plan.
It better be better than ****ing UGLI Baby.
Oh, and UGLI Baby is as much a tribute to Hot Rod as it is to UGLI (who's name is a tribute to Hot Rod). If you don't know, I love Hot Rod.
UGLI Baby is an imperial IPA using mostly Amarillo hops and an abv over 9%.
lol.. love ya mang..
