Lagers. It is a love hate relationship. I used to hate them. Then I made a couple, and they turned out very well, even taking home some medals. They tend to go through stages. At first they are meh, it's clean and wet. Then they peak and you realize you don't have much left. Then it either dissapears in the middle of its glory like my Pilsner, or I hold onto it long enough that it shows age and becomes nothing but a bland cooking medium at best like my CAP from last Summer. They are not my favorite styles of beer, and I would much rather drink a Saison, Wit, German Hefe, or Sour on a hot Summer night over a Pils, but there is still something beautiful about a perfectly brewed and poured lager. As I stated at the beginning of the year, I am out to win competitions this year, including Club Only Comps for our brew club. The 4 medals and Best of Show in February set me on the course for accomplishing this, but I still need to get in on our COC comps. The next one is lagers, so I wanted to get at least one beer in there.
