This is the first article in a new series of posts, where I will periodically choose a section from the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) style guidelines , write about the style, and then drink and publish my tasting notes from some of the commercial examples given by the BJCP. Now, I'm not sure if I will ever actually take the exam to become a beer judge, but I think this will be a fun exercise to learn more about beer! Fair warning, I will not be doing the sections of the BJCP style guidelines in any sort of order. Whichever kinds of beer I am craving is what I will be writing about! Strong Scotch Ales (also known as Wee Heavy) comprise sub-category 9E in the BJCP style guidelines. They range between 6.5% and 10.0% ABV, and have a light copper to dark brown appearance. Obviously, strong scotch ales are all about showcasing the malt. While studying this style, I found it quite interesting that the brewers ferment out the wort at cooler temperatures than other
Hey Ryan -- really liked your blog and wanted to shoot you a couple questions. Do you have an e-mail where I can direct them to?

DeleteHey there,
ReplyDeleteJust stumbled across your page and wanted to see if you would try checking in one of these days when you’re having the next great craft beer somewhere. I have been working on “BODOBEERS.com” for quite some time and finally “launched” it this past summer. The idea is it’s a cross between some of the existing sites out there but with the aim of being social, global and crowd-driven.
Also it’s not an app, but just a website that intends to be easy to use on any device or computer. If you can, try it out and check-in somewhere. It’s via any browser, by going to http://bodobeers.com
It’s facebook-integrated so it uses that to allow check-ins, etc. But you can turn on/off the FB integration of course.
Well, thanks for your time,
Greg
Hello Ryan,
ReplyDeleteI was looking through your site and I like what I see. I am wondering if you would be interested in working with me. I work for a cigar and cigar accessory retailer. I have some ideas on how we could collaborate on this. If you have any interest please let me know. Thank you for your time.
