Cask vs. The World

[Fast_Eddy]

If you could permenantly change all CO2 dispensed draught beers in the world into cask conditioned beers, and you could change all bottled beers in the world into bottle conditioned beers would you?

[bigmf]

Nope - Choice is always a good thing.

I just might :)

[shaken]

Absolutely not..
All beer styles have a time and place.

[Stodbrew]

No sense in limiting yourself!:D

[danno]

if you outlaw co2, only outlaws will have co2 ! :D

[MeridianFC]

No.

That said, I wish there was more beer made and served cask, but I agree choice is a good thing.

Still I'd probably choose cask at least 3/1 over anything else.

[studentofbeer]

why the heck not...never had a lot of beers on cask, might as well make that the status quo, especially since it's totally imaginary and not possible :p

[fretlessman71]

.....And Thank You for keeping this poll as scientific as possible. :p

You know how the cask adds flavor? I wonder if it would also soak up some of the chemicals.....

Yes. But only if it was always conditioned and cellared and served at its peak. By personable and attractive bar staff. :cool:

[BREWERDLUX]

Cant say I would cask it all........ There is a time and a place for everything.....Even (gulp) AB....I guess? Would be nice to have the option at your finger tips, though..... Hum, I bet that would be could in the cask (poof) There you are Sir....... And since we are dreaming its free.............................................. .Ha.

Congrats on that 1100!

[threecb]

No. Gimme options. More options.

I said no. I did not base it on the choice premise as some of you have. I do find that view pointg interesting. I think that some beers were/are designed with force carbonation in mind.

I do really enjoy cask ales. I find the flavor softer if you will. I would say that IMHO, force carbonation affects the flavor release of all the componets of beer. I don't mean that to be a negative statement, as said just my opinion. I have had the opportunity to try a couple of beers side by side cask and forced. In these cases I have preffered the cask. I don't know for instance that the Brooklyh EIPA would lend to cask conditioning as well as the beers I tried.

I do think for the time being that both ways of serving will be ariund for quite some time. In that time, I hope to be able to give all of them taste bud certification as bith cask and forced.



BEER CAN BE FOOD, BUT FOOD CAN NEVER BE BEER.
