AZ_IPA said:carnevoodo's pale ale was down right amazing....for such a more or less simple style, it was notches above the other APAs I tasted.
And Sacchromyces' serano and coconut mead was really great!
Date Rape Melomel
In fact a lot of the stuff made by mr Anderson in Coachella Balley Homebrewers.
He had some 2006 lambics and some meads that were by far my favorites. No offense to CHUG or ASH. But this guy is a machine.

Sopers Watermelon Wit tastes like a Jolly Rancher.
People had beer there other than CHUG? Hmmm... must have missed that.
Hey, just a heads up, while I was waiting in the massive line for the awards banquet I overhead a couple people mentioning your club's beers very positively. That English IPA I had from the hand pump was quite good! :rockin:
Any time. We should try to set up a real ale party some time this summer. I want to try out that pin I picked from norternbrewer. Thanks for the complement shooter. I was happy that beer was ready in time.

At Pro Brewer's night I enjoyed the Coconut Curry Porter that was the Pro-Am for Ballast Point and also the IPA with habanero in it (I believe it was the Sculpin with that infused into it).
Some of my club members hit up Alpine and were commenting on how good it was.
We stopped at Lost Abbey/Port Brewing and had an amazing sour, soured with raspberries, can't remember the name but a 375ml bottle costs like $20 and we had our fair share. A great place too, their Mongo IIPA is awesome too.

Our club served an incredible prickly pear mead at club night. That full 5-gallon keg floated in ~30 minutes....
Also, they supposedly have great BBQ
Well that and the Olive Wheat Beer that won category 21, but I had to drink that because I was judging. It was awesome (as was the second place Jalapeno IPA which an HBT member entered).
Framboise de Ambrosia is the LA Raspberry sour. It was $15, I bought 4.

Yeah, their mongo is really good! That reminds me, I found this place before we left town called Pubcakes and we had to hit it; check out their I can't believe it's not mango cupcake that has mongo in it - http://pubcakes.com/PubCakes/Flavors.html . I'm vegan, so got the Punkin' vegan, but my buddies got one of each flavor, so will look forward to hearing what they thought, but mine was so flavorful and good; how can you go wrong with something that has Old Stock in it?
I got a taste of that. It was good...really good.
Soperbrew's IPA in the hospitality booth on Friday was awesome.
I almost forgot the Utopias Clone
Was that with salted brined green olives? Because when we saw that come up on the screen our entire club/table turned to each other and said WTF?!?!?
Oh crap! How'd I forget the Utopias clone? Who brought that? Cape?
Yes that was good but certain people with sexy nurse avatars might let it go to their head.
I forgot to mention, I was really impressed with sacc's 22 day old meads.
I would be very interested in a post detailing the process used from start to finish.
I posted the details in AZ_IPA's thread over in the mead forum. Once I get that base mead dialed in I will add it to my dropdown.
The 2003 Alaskan Smoked Porter was un-freakin-believable, and the Tupelo sack mead from Moonlight Meadery was so good I ordered a 60# bucket of Tupelo honey that should be in later this week... I'm going to make a 1.120 sack mead with D-47 and transfer it to my Rumble barrel to age for six months. I will bring some to next years NHC in Seattle. :rockin:
