Peach Pie Heffy from Laht Neppur Brewing was not the best beer I sampled Wednesday at the Oregon Brewers Festival,<\/a> but it was worth thinking about and a perfectly pleasant three-ounce experience.<\/p>\n

In fact, it does taste like peach pie, with a bit of crust — reminiscent of Key Lime Pie from Short’s Brewing. Jeff Alworth<\/a> said it didn’t taste like beer. I understand his thinking but I suspect that the underlying beer character — mouthfeel, some balancing non-sweetness from hops and fermentation byproducts — helped make it something I was happy that I tried. <\/p>\n

Jeff said that he and his friends, who gather annually<\/a> for the OBF experience as much as the beer and mostly avoid overthinking beer, had once played a game where they’d get a sample and then classify it as “beer” or “not beer.” Those conversations are not uncommon at OBF.<\/p>\n

I amused myself a while Wednesday by eavesdropping on people discussing Peach Pie Heffy or just thinking about trying it.<\/p>\n

“Oooh, that sounds gross.”<\/p>\n

“Those guys make some good beers. They should have brought one of those.”<\/p>\n

“This would be good on a hot day.” (It was pouring rain at the time.)<\/p>\n

Beer? Not beer? I guess it depends who you ask. <\/p>\n
