Cherny Bock in the East Village

Bohemian Cherny Bock
by Bohemian Brewery

So cherny means “black” in Czech. I think that’s exactly what I say in the video. It’s black. It looks like it’s going to be thick, but it’s not. You usually think of bocks as heavier beers, but this one is refreshingly thinner and easier to drink. Throw out your bock preconceptions, people. It’s a session Bock.

I said that I was going to get a Vespa in the video and in the blog post last week. I seriously don’t know how I am going to afford a Vespa, but I’m going to buy one, mark my words. I’m going to get two matching helmets so the girl I’m taking to the sexy West Village brunch spot can look cute (and be safe). Sign up in the comments section to be the girl in that fantasy. Be prepared to pay for gas. ;-)

Utah has some ridiculous laws about shipping beer. The three-tiered system in place probably helped at some point, but the laws put in place to protect the distributors might be hindering interstate commerce as far as beer goes. I always think the best thing to make sure you have control over something is to legalize it and tax it. You might be able to solve the debt problem by legalizing marijuana if you taxed it enough. I know one former president who would get behind that bill.

Beer 101: How to taste a beer

How to Taste Beer



Sight: After you have poured your beer into the proper glass with a 1-1½ inch head, take a moment to observe the color, effervescence and clarity.

Aroma: You interpret 90% of the taste of something by it’s smell. Take 3 short sniffs of your beer. What does your beer smell like? Floral, grainy, fruity, roasted like coffee beans, nuts, bread-like.
malts and barley
Taste: Finally...take a sip and let the beer fill your mouth and pass over all areas of your tongue before you swallow to get the full flavor spectrum from the start to finish.

Mouthfeel: Pay attention to the texture of the beer: Is it light? Heavy? Does it coat your mouth? Is it a clean finish? Can you feel the carbonation?

Pilseners are clearing their name through craft brewing

Though we weren't in the taste test... the point is there. This is a great little article from THE BEER NUT talking about how Pilseners got a bad wrap and how they're changing that. We're happy to be a part of this revolution.
