Dom's Beer Choice: A Unique Taste Experience

In the Fast & Furious franchise, Dominic Toretto, played by Vin Diesel, is known for drinking Corona beer. However, in real life, a beer blogger named Dom prefers craft beer and has worked for 3 Stars Brewing. They make a range of beers, including Peppercorn Saison, Diamonds Are Forever, Southern Belle, and Ghost IPA. Outside of 3 Stars Brewing, Dom has also expressed excitement about The Dom, a German-style Kölsch beer by Akademia Brewing Company.

Dom drinks craft beer and works for 3 Stars Brewing

Before working for 3 Stars Brewing, Dom liked their beers, but now that he's had the chance to try them at their freshest and sample a wider variety, he's started to like them even more. He particularly enjoys their Peppercorn Saison, Diamonds are Forever, Southern Belle, and Ghost IPA.

Dom is always on the lookout for something new and exciting and tries as many different brews as he can. He likes that 3 Stars Brewing likes to push the envelope and come up with new and strange styles. They recently bought out a huge space connected to their current brewery, which will allow them to have a new 470-person event space, an enlarged Funkerdome for sours, triple the size for cold storage, and room for more brewing tanks.

Dom has been pitching a sour beer modeled after the Palomas he loves, which he hopes will make it into the taproom. He prefers this to the typical over-the-top IPAs, as he finds them boring to make. He appreciates that at 3 Stars Brewing, the brewers like to experiment with more than just changing one ingredient.

He likes all the beers 3 Stars Brewing makes

In a blog post, Dom reveals that he likes all the beers made by 3 Stars Brewing, a company he used to work for. He mentions that he typically prefers to drink craft beer and is always on the lookout for something new and exciting. He got a job doing a variety of things for 3 Stars Brewing and has been drinking a lot of their beers.

Dom explains that 3 Stars Brewing has been making super-drinkable and excitingly unique beers in the northern part of DC since 2012. He mentions that the brewery is still relatively small, with limited distribution to DC, Virginia, Maryland, Boston, Delaware, and New York City.

Before working for 3 Stars Brewing, Dom thought the few beers he had tried from them were solid but nothing special. However, after having the chance to try a wider variety of their lineup at their freshest, he started to like them even more.

Dom highlights some of his favorite beers from 3 Stars Brewing, showcasing the diversity of their offerings:

• Peppercorn Saison: An easy-drinking Belgian-style ale brewed with three different types of peppercorns for a light spice finish. It doesn't have the bubblegum yeastiness that some Belgian styles have, making it a great porch pounder despite its 6.5% ABV. This beer put 3 Stars on the map, as it was originally a home brew recipe that the owners were encouraged to bottle and sell.
• Diamonds are Forever: A sessionable IPA with juicy citrus flavors and a touch of bitter resin. This NEIPA is a recent addition to the core lineup and is a huge crowd-pleaser.
• Southern Belle: An imperial brown ale brewed with roasted pecans. It's soft, smooth, and nutty, making it the perfect beer pairing for a burger.
• Ghost IPA: Brewed with a large percentage of white wheat malt, contributing to its original label as a White IPA. While it has a modest dose of citrus from hops, Dom finds the bitter/resiny quality a little much for his taste. However, it's a popular choice for "on-the-clock" beer breaks around the brewery.

Dom also mentions that he loves how 3 Stars Brewing pushes the envelope and experiments with new and strange styles. He concludes by expressing his excitement for the company's future, including their expansion into a huge new event space and their plans for more brewing tanks.

He likes German-style beers

Dom likes German-style beers. German beers have gifted the world with incredible brews and ancient beer styles. The mighty lager, for example, can be traced back to Germany before it was even a country. German beers are also known for their wheat beers, including the hefeweizen, which is an unfiltered wheat beer, and the dunkelweizen, a dark wheat beer.

One of Dom's favourite German-style beers is the Dom Kölsch by Dom-Brauerei GmbH. He enjoys the smooth, refreshing taste of this beer, which is not overly spiced or hopped. The Dom Kölsch is a clear golden beer with a full head of white foam that holds well and leaves nice lacing behind. It has a grainy and bready malt flavour with a pleasant fruitiness and soft herbal hops. The taste is lightly sweetish grainy malt with bruised apples and floral and softly herbal hops notes. It has a firm bitterness with a dry finish.

Another German-style beer that Dom enjoys is the Helles by Akademia Brewing Company. This beer is a gem, according to Dom. It is a traditional German lager with a gorgeous, clear, golden colour. It has a distinct graininess from the malts and herbal/spiciness from the hops, with a touch of floral hops. The flavour is a balance of delicate grainy malt and spicy hops notes, with a restrained bitterness. The mouthfeel is light to medium-bodied, not too thin. It has a short, dry, crisp finish with a bright, almost champagne-like effervescence.

In addition to these beers, Dom also appreciates the precision and drinkability of German beers in general. He constantly seeks out the best versions of German styles made by craft breweries. He especially likes the clean, well-crafted lagers that are timeless and not just chasing trends.

He likes the Peppercorn Saison beer

Dom likes the Peppercorn Saison beer. This easy-drinking Belgian-style ale is brewed with three different types of peppercorns, giving it a light spice finish. Unlike some other Belgian styles, it doesn't have a bubblegum yeasty taste, making it a perfect porch pounder at 6.5% ABV. Before working for 3 Stars Brewing, Dom had only tried a few of their beers and thought they were solid but nothing special. However, after trying a wider variety of their lineup, he has come to really enjoy them.

Peppercorn Saison was the beer that first put 3 Stars Brewing on the map. It was originally a home-brew recipe that the owners were convinced to bottle and sell by their friends. The brewery has been making super-drinkable and unique beers in the northern part of DC since 2012. While their distribution is still relatively limited, with regular shipments going to DC, Virginia, Maryland, Boston, and Delaware, they have been pushing the envelope and coming up with new and strange styles.

Dom has been drinking a lot of 3 Stars beers since he works for them, and he likes all the beers they make. He especially enjoys how they like to experiment with more than just changing one ingredient. He is always on the lookout for something new and exciting and tries as many different brews as he can. He even has been pitching a sour beer modeled after the Palomas he loves, hoping to get it into the taproom.

Overall, Dom's favorite beer is the Peppercorn Saison, and he appreciates how 3 Stars Brewing pushes the envelope with their beers, creating new and strange styles.

He likes the Diamonds are Forever beer

Dom has a penchant for craft beer and is always on the lookout for something new and exciting. He likes to experiment with different brews and is particularly fond of the beers crafted by 3 Stars Brewing, a brewery based in the northern part of DC.

Among the beers produced by 3 Stars Brewing, Dom has a special liking for "Diamonds are Forever". This NEIPA (New England-style India Pale Ale) is a sessionable IPA with a plethora of juicy citrus flavors and a hint of bitter resin. The 16oz option is exclusively available at Nationals Park, but the 12oz version can be found more readily.

"Diamonds are Forever" is a relatively new addition to the 3 Stars Brewing lineup, but it has already made a name for itself as a crowd-pleaser. Dom considers it to be one of the best session IPAs he has ever tasted. He appreciates the balance it strikes between juicy citrus flavors and bitter notes, resulting in a beer that is extremely drinkable and packed with flavor.

Dom's preference for "Diamonds are Forever" aligns with his interest in unique and innovative brews. He is not afraid to step away from the typical over-the-top IPAs and instead seeks out beers that showcase the brewer's experimentation with different ingredients and styles. "Diamonds are Forever" fits this bill perfectly, offering a sessionable IPA experience that is both refreshing and flavorful.

In addition to its taste, Dom also appreciates the exclusivity of "Diamonds are Forever". The fact that the 16oz option is only available at Nationals Park adds a layer of uniqueness to the drinking experience. It creates a sense of exclusivity and makes the act of enjoying this beer a special occasion.
