I don't make beer, but I do drink beer.
If you get the chance to buy some Yee Haw " Dunkel ". Give it a try if you like dark beer. I can only find it at liquor stores. It has some great flavor and 5.5 abv if memory serves me. Normally I'm a PBR guy, but will occasionally splurge on Yee Haw. My only complaint is I haven't found it in bottles yet. Made in East TN, give em a try

I’ve not had the Hee-Haw, but I have had a few liters of this one, fresh off the brewery’s taps.
Delicious, especially when served by the fraulein.

Re: TN- Yee Haw Dunkel
SS, Were you in Germany? I grew up in Heidelberg as an army brat in my teens and early 20's - All kinds of trouble. Yearly O'Fest pilgrimages were definitely a thing. Nothing like a few Masskrugs or 0,5l flasche to warm the spirit!still_stirrin wrote: ↑Tue Jul 20, 2021 7:34 am I’ve not had the Hee-Haw, but I have had a few liters of this one, fresh off the brewery’s taps.

Re: TN- Yee Haw Dunkel
Yes, spent my honeymoon (17 years ago) in Bavaria. Skied the Zugspitze too. There’s no place like Germany, feels like “home”. And yes, we toured the Heidelberg castle. Toured all the major breweries too, from Dusseldorf to Aying.

Re: TN- Yee Haw Dunkel
Nice! I lived right across the Neckar river from the Heidelberg castle with my parents for a bit and around town for a few years when they moved to Scotland. They were doing construction on the castle facade and us kids might have climbed the scaffolding and spent many days and evenings in the Altstadt drinking the local brews. Eichbaum export is a Mannheimer bier - I'd love to figure out how to get a case.still_stirrin wrote: ↑Tue Jul 20, 2021 8:32 amYes, spent my honeymoon (17 years ago) in Bavaria.

Re: TN- Yee Haw Dunkel
Even Germany is branching out. Last time I was in Heidelberg I found a microbrewery that was making a good west coast IPA as well as more traditional German type beers.

But until I see a bottle of water and bottle of beer for the same price like I saw in Germany I will give Germany the nod as the best beer destination.
Besides, something ugly happened to US breweries during COVID. 2/3 of the beer are either hazy something or have fruit in them. NO NO NO beer = grain, hops, water and yeast. And if you make it right it isn't hazy. I will make an exception for a good Hefeweizen
