Don't ever, ever, EVER come to Buffalo and ask for Ranch with Chicken wings. Bleu Cheese only. Ranch with Chicken Wings...uggh...just disgraceful... I have. And I will again…. For being so “blue collar”, the food snobbery is startling. I live a mere 80 minutes south of buffalo… we eat what we want and nobody gives us guff over it.

That has nothing to do with being blue collar, it has to do with ruining something sacred that we take tremendous pride in. Honestly, you might as well be 800 miles away because that doesn't fly here...it's what I dealt with out in Ohio and I couldn't sit at the same table with them as they committed wing heresy...

RyanC883 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 9 hours ago, BarleyNY said: No. That’s absolutely not what I said. Education is not indoctrination. I have fellow beer judges that I very much disagree with on some beers due to preference. But when you know how something is supposed to taste and also exactly what it is you are tasting, then you can enjoy well made food and drink more. Sure, it can ruin some things, but you don’t have to analyze everything you eat or drink. The upside is that when you do have something that is well made, you can really enjoy and fully appreciate it. You don’t get snowed by overpriced and overhyped crap either. Instead you can recognize bargains and go after them. Personally, that’s my favorite. Find the $15 bottle of wine that drinks like a $40 bottle. Or the beer that costs $10-$12 a six pack that’s better than the $18 four packs or the $20-$30 single 22 oz or 750 ml bottle. That’s what I’m saying.

TheBrownBear Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 That stuff sucks. Give me a good Tennessee whiskey like Dickel or a Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve Kentucky bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macofniagara Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Yikes, truly disgusting. Seems local options of great spirits like Tommyrotter or BlackButton would be obvious choices, or if you want something more mainstream something like Buffalo Trace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DallasBillsFan1 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Good marketing move to attract more Millennial fans. Although, I do like this whiskey. Good taste. Straight up, with a big ice cube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirAndrew Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 21 hours ago, BarleyNY said: Well gross. Sorry, but “natural flavorings” added to liquor, wine, hard seltzer and beer (and some waters) is a pet peeve of mine. They are disgusting unless used extremely sparingly, which is rare. Zero craftsmanship required for an inferior product that’s dumbed down for a crowd with terrible taste. The underage crowd is often a target market too. In their early stages, craft beer and craft liquor were trending toward education of customers and high quality products (like higher end wineries do), but those markets are now dominated by crap like this. It’s cheap and easy to make and most flaws are covered up by throwing in some extract. It’s a shame. I don’t understand it either, I always thought all the flavored vodkas would be enough to satisfy that market. When you can buy any flavor vodka your heart desires, why do we need every flavor whiskey ? It really has less to do with enjoying an actual alcoholic beverage, and more to do with young people wanting to get drunk as fast as possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 10 hours ago, RyanC883 said: Thoughts on Franziskaner or another good Hefeweizen? Hmmm. Hefe’s are tough because there’s not many of them on the craft scene. Franziskaner is a really nice example of the style IIRC. So are some of the other German imports. It’s tough to get them fresh though. In the US market I’ve heard that Live Oak (Texas) has a great one (as well as other beers) but I’ve never had it. It’s a tough style for craft breweries to make money on since it takes specialized yeast and it’s usually not a big seller. Yeast is very expensive so the one way breweries can maximize profits without raising prices or cutting corners is to crop yeast and get multiple uses from one batch. That’s just not feasible with hefeweizens. Sorry I can’t be more help, but it’s not my favorite style and it’s been a long time since I’ve had one. My go to craft wheat beers are American Wheat beers. I like Oberon from Bell’s and Gumballhead from Three Floyd’s. But they’re not going to taste like a hefe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
