Dunno about anyone else, but I like having a live in beer geek.

How's the Pepe Nero? I almost bought some of that when I was in Chicago, but bought some Sofie instead. I know, I know.... When in doubt, just buy both.

^ probably one of my all time favorite IPAs. Such a great beer. I'm drinking an Old Rasputin right now. Work tomorrow morning. Ugh

Didn't know they made a beer called Super Wedgies.

No just an old beat up cooler. It had only 140 water and it is 30 outside. But I'm still disappointed

Huh.. Maybe try preheating the heck out of it? If it's a cooler it should work ok. And keep it cozy with a sleeping bag or moving pad at least.

I don't think I'd want to try that one. Lol

Qhrumphf · Dec 23, 2012

60 shilling. No wedgie necessary.

nukebrewer · Dec 23, 2012

Yuuuuuuuuup!

Haha. Guess I couldn't reply fast enough for the Lagunitas. Although I think that might be a good name for a IIPA hahaha. Cheers

I was thinking the same thing about the name. I didn't have a specific style in mind, but DIPA sounds good.

That is one badass beer. I haven't had it in a while. I need to get some.

Yes, you do. I'm taking advantage of it while I can. We used to could get Great Divide in CT, but no more. It's been about three years since I had more than a small sample (at GABF) of anything Great Divide.

Very good. I grabbed a few of these up and forgot I had 'em. I've been going through my cellar finding $hit for the holidays and came across them. I'll be buying more.

Got this as an early Xmas present.

Super good. Super strong. :tank:

2nd going down, turns out my real dad works here!

The fruity note I didn't get at all and even got a second opinion from my brother. I do agree, more dry hops and lower mash temp would fix that baby right up. No technical flaws that I could tell, so your process is sound.

Decided to crack another one open after your comments and I think the "sweet/fruity flaw" I was perceiving is just a mix of higher FG than desired and hop flavor. Kind of strange, but I think that has to be it.

I'll have to get my parents to bring me some when they visit. They're my personal Chicago area beer distributer. I think GI is coming to Texas though, so that will be one less brand on my list eventually.

NordeastBrewer77 · Dec 23, 2012

Super good $hit!

rayfound · Dec 23, 2012

The ommegang was my favorite of the bunch. Even or better than the St Bernardus IMO Opinion. On par with Chimay blue for my taste.

NordeastBrewer77 · Dec 23, 2012

bottlebomber · Dec 23, 2012

Honestly I don't see how you could drink anything after that WWS.. That stuffs like rum raisin syrup..

WesleyS · Dec 23, 2012

What do you do when it's 1:25 and you can't go to sleep? Put a good movie on and pop the top on another homebrew of course. Just started We Were Soldiers and poured my Smoked Chocolate Porter.

It's 2:30 here, my wife's asleep on the couch, and I'm finishing the last of a bomber of saison (my last two bottles now in the fridge). I'm thinking I'll go for some Bitter next and then call it a night.

I was previously a night owl, but never stay up past 10:30 any more. Every now and then I can't seem to go to sleep. I'm assuming more beer will help. Definitely can't hurt.

WesleyS · Dec 23, 2012

I guess one more for the night(or morning) can't hurt. My American Bock with German Lager Yeast.

aharri1 · Dec 23, 2012

Celebration Ale from Sierra Nevada. Cause it's a celebration. I stocked up on some other goodies for tomorrow

bwirthlin · Dec 23, 2012

4 liters at hofbrauhaus and 3 or 4 stouts at Ellis island. IM HAMMERED!! Also Ellis island brews a dope rootbeer.

ezzellca · Dec 23, 2012

No beer, only night night juice tonight. Warm milk with rum and a wee bit of brown sugar. And given it took me way too long to type this out, i think its bedtime...

Sweet! I'll have to check them out one day.

Right! It makes BCBS seem like a light beer. The Funky Jewbelation was a beast too. Both very nice beers. :tank:

SFGiantsFan925 · Dec 23, 2012

Nothing today and tomorrow. On duty.

But I have a pretty good lineup to drink on Christmas day to help deal with the in-laws. Going for a very hoppy Christmas. Pliny all day probably, with a few Belgian Tripels thrown in there. Cheers and Merry Christmas everyone.

Triples make in-laws tolerable three times as fast.

Qft. I'm bringing a 12er of tripel to Christmas dinner. Tis the season to get sloppy.

Smoked brown ale ..... In moderation if course

nukebrewer · Dec 23, 2012

Courtesy of WesleyS. Damn good IPA.

Two Brothers makes some great beer, but I think that one is my favorite. Glad you like it.
