New Session: Three Things In 2018

January 5, 2018 By Jay Brooks

session-the
For our 131st Session this month our host will be me, from the Brookston Beer Bulletin, stepping in because I hadn’t realized no one had offered to host until it was pointed out this morning on Twitter. For my topic, I’ve chosen Three Things, a quick session topic as we look ahead to what this year, and beyond, will bring to the world of beer. So here we go, three quick questions for you to ponder and answer extemporaneously as best you can from your perspective.

three-beers-1

Question No. 1

For our first question of the new year, what one word, or phrase, do you think should be used to describe beer that you’d like to drink. Craft beer seems to be the most agreed upon currently used term, but many people think it’s losing its usefulness or accuracy in describing it. What should we call it, do you think?

ANSWER: ____________________

three-beers-2

Question No. 2

For our second question of the new year, what two breweries do you think are very underrated? Name any two places that don’t get much attention but are quietly brewing great beer day in and day out. And not just one shining example, but everything they brew should be spot on. And ideally, they have a great tap room, good food, or other stellar amenities of some kind. But for whatever reason, they’ve been mostly overlooked. Maybe 2018 should be the year they hit it big. Who are they?

ANSWER 1: ____________________

ANSWER 2: ____________________

three-beers-3

For our third question of the new year, name three kinds of beer you’d like to see more of. It’s clear hoppy beers, IPAs and all of the other hop-forward beers they’ve spawned, are here to say. There seems to be a few other styles that are popular, too, like saisons, barrel-aged beers, anything imperial and also sour beers of all kinds. But lots of other previously popular beers seem sidelined these days. What three types of beer do you think deserve more attention or at least should be more available for you to enjoy? They can be anything except IPAs, or the other extreme beers. I mean, they could be, I suppose, but I’m hoping for beers that we don’t hear much about or that fewer and fewer breweries are making. What styles should return, re-emerge or be resurrected in 2018?

ANSWER 1: ____________________

ANSWER 2: ____________________

ANSWER 3: ____________________

So stop what you’re doing and start a new Session post. Now would be good. To participate in the January Session, today, Friday, January 5, write your post as soon as feasible, then leave a comment below or shoot me an e-mail or copy me (@Brookston) in your Twitter feed with your link. Don’t think about it too long, just give the first answers that pop into your head.

    Thanks for putting it together Jay! Not so much a blog post as a stream of consciousness packaged in a short Twitter thread…https://twitter.com/BruBeerCity/status/949718550788403201
