Third Tuesday continues for another year. New format this year and new venues.
Our scheduled hours are always soft, the CO will usually be early and is always happy to hang around late. Frankly when we get going we often run later than scheduled.
PLEASE NOTE with your log if you do not expect to arrive until after 7:00PM, and I'll be sure to hold out for your arrival.
Malt Liquor
Malt liquor is a type of mass market beer with high alcohol content, most closely associated with North America. In common usage, it refers to beers containing a high alcohol content, generally above 6%, which are made with ingredients and processes resembling those for American-style lagers.
Malt liquor is typically straw to pale amber in color. While traditional premium lager is made primarily from barley, water, and hops, malt liquors tend to make much greater use of inexpensive adjuncts such as corn, rice, or dextrose. Use of these adjuncts, along with the addition of special enzymes, results in a higher percentage of alcohol than an average beer. Higher alcohol versions, sometimes called "high-gravity" or just "HG", may contain high levels of fusel alcohols, which gives off solvent- or fuel-like aromas and flavors.
The term "malt liquor" is documented in England in 1690 as a general term encompassing both beer and ale. The first mention of the term in North America appears in a patent issued by the Canadian government on July 6, 1842, to one G. Riley for "an improved method of brewing ale, beer, porter, and other maltliquors."
The Clix brand is often credited as the first malt liquor made in the United States, granted a patent in 1948. The first widely successful malt liquor brand in America was Country Club, which was produced in the early 1950s by the M. K. Goetz Brewing Company in St. Joseph, Missouri.
Other popular contemporary brands include Colt 45, St. Ides, Mickey's, Steel Reserve, King Cobra, and Olde English 800.
In the American vernacular, a forty-ounce or simply a forty is a glass or plastic bottle that holds 40 US fluid ounces of malt liquor. Malt liquors are commonly sold in 40 fluid ounce bottles, among other sizes, as opposed to the standard 12-US-fluid-ounce bottle that contains a single serving of beer, although many malt liquors are offered in various volumes.
