This occurs at the Harvey House Hotel, in Plano, TX (suburb of Dallas). Michael Jackson's Comparative Beer Tasting Thursday, 8-10 PM MJ will be comparing pair of beers: vs. Collin County Pale Gold Pilsner Urquell Duvel Sezoens Young's Special London Ale Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Sierra Nevada Porter Sierra Nevada Stout Sierra Nevada Stout Guinness Anchor Porter Samuel Smith's Imperial Stout Timmerman's Framboise <alone> Fred Eckhardt's Beer and Chocolate Tasting Saturday, 10 PM -- and into the night 1. Collin County Black Gold Tobler Orange Nirvana 2. Sierra Nevada Porter Swiss Lindt Cappucino 3. Hillsdale Farm Porter Tobler Swiss Milk Chocolate 4. Paulaner Salvator Tobler Swiss Mocha 5. Timmerman's Peche Chocolate Chip Cookies 6. Young's Old Nick Hershey's Dark 7. Guinness Chocolate Chunk Brownies 8. Chimay Grand Chocolate Decadence (cake) Roy Mengot and I will be working the registration desk. No, you can't get in cheaply by plying us with beer, which is not to say that you shouldn't try. P.S. Other news - I said earlier that Reinheitsgebot Brewery (the only microbrewery in the Dallas area) had gone out of business. It turns out they are still in business, at least for awhile. They sold (green) beer at the North Texas Irish Festival. They are having a tour of their brewery as part of the conference, and will be supplying significant amounts of beer to the conference.

Date: Thu, 22 Mar 90 13:20:17 EST From: bose!chuck at uunet.UU.NET (Chuck Cox) Subject: Re: Texas Brown Ale Doug sez... > My brew is definitely darker > and maltier and hoppier than, say, Newcastle Brown Ale or Samuel > Smith's Nut Brown Ale. But it doesn't fit any other classification. > Is it a Texas brown ale? (I know, I know. Words don't convey much. > Here...have a sip.) Hmmm, nice looking head, but some cloudiness... oops, just a smudge on my screen. It sounds like you might have a Texas Brown, send a bottle and I'll let you know for sure. > Is there anything commercially available that comes close to a tasting > reference? No, there is no commercial example by definition. It is, as you noted, a category for all those dark hoppy homebrew ales that don't fit into any other category. > PS If Chuck Cox responds first, then we _know_ he's America's > FASTEST beer judge! vroooomm...VROOOOMM...SCREEEEEEE!!! Hmmm, robust yet fragile, well rounded yet naive. Good body, well balanced, rocky head. 38 points. VRRRRRROOOOM....vrrrrrrooommmm......... - Chuck Cox - america's fastest beer judge - Return to table of contents
