I know Cleveland is the butt of a lot of jokes but I really like it there and I go there as often as I can. It's 2 hours away from me so I get a hotel visit bars/breweries get smashed and eat good food.

Ah, Cleveland... The Mississippi must be something there. I was thinking the river. I am retarded.

Still on smooth criminal and taking a growler home. I love this beer.

Second pour,

Unfortunately I live about an hour or so east of NEBCO or I would say you could crash with me.



For no other reason than that I didn't get any last year and I've had a hankering for it since it's starting to cool down here. Been two years since I had it.

Thanks to a ridiculous law prohibiting any beer over 12% ABV be sold here in Ohio I have never tried any of those stouts. I'm pretty sure I need to at least try the Rye version at some point.

What i searched its 14% limit here in ohio. Luckly in Texas its not set but you have to have a certian license over 17ish

It's Abita. It has to suck. Even if it's aged in barrels from "a highly respected" (and completely fictional) distillery.

Abita's Select series is generally better than their standard fare. This batch is actually pretty decent. The original batch had some infection issues. It's a little on the thin side (Abita's Merlin setup for some reason is prone to do that), but actually nowhere near suck.

Oh, and no pic, but drinking a Sixpoint Sensi Harvest.

I've only had the basic version, but I would love to try the variants. That is a ridiculous law. How can you tell people they can buy 40-50% liquor and then turn around and say you can't buy a beer over 12% with a straight face?

I rarely throw bbq sauce on tacos even when I smoke and shred pork shoulder. I make my own Carolina sauce (cider vinegar-based) and that's typically what I use.

For today's tacos, I used a sauce I picked-up at the local butcher shop down the street from my cousin's house in LBI. I go there for all of my meats every time I am at the beach house and love that place. This sauce has a pretty big kick to it.

I also typically go Cali-style and go with double corn tortillas, fresh onion and cilantro. That's it. That's how they serve em in California every time I've been there (3x San Diego; San Fran is served slightly different).

I wasn't suggesting putting BBQ sauce on your tacos. I just was saying that if I smoked some pork and shredded it, I would rather drench it in BbQ than use it on tacos.

Not even close to going to NEBCO ... and far better options then Yeungling while there (maybe smuggle a bottle in you luggage)

I wish I could go to Cleveland sadly duty calls. I always thought it was 12% I talked to a beer delivery guy who assures me that law is going away soon as the breweries and distributors here are lobbying hard for it's demise.

It's called "uncommon sense" I believe.

Pour #4 of Samurye while the hockey game wraps up. Then back to football. Was gonna brew tonight but decided it'll wait til tomorrow. Maybe do some beer chores in between the games.

This and water.

Pretty oaky and tasty.

Finally home and at a dinner party. Free booze!

Bigfoot clone, lightly carb'd at 6-7 days.. It finished at 1.030 so very full bodied

Not a big pumpkin beer fan but very drinkable... @mcbaumannerb

Although it doesn't taste infected, my smooth criminal appears to be sitting on a Brett pelacle.

New Braunfels Wicked Fuel. Dunkel + coffee. Crazy coffee flavor.


Having a hard time figuring this one out. Maybe it's too much coffee for the beer. Strange almost fruity flavor coming thru the roasty coffee.

Coff.

Better than the standard Abita could still be pretty bad.

A fine Mississippi brew!

I don't know if it's any good, just wanted to point out it's contract brewed. Or will be if that one wasn't.

What? He's only an eight and a half hour drive from NEBCO. Seems worth it to me.

Lounge Blackberry Lime Daiquiri. This is a wine based cocktail kit from RJ Spagnols. If I'm not mistaken the entire Lounge series has been discontinued. I've made this kit and the Lemon Lime Margarita kit and while I enjoyed them I'm not heart broken that I'll never be able make them again.

My Homebrew Rye IPA. based on the sediment that kicked up when I poured this that keg is about to kick. I drink too damn much.

What was your recipe? 16# pills, 3# Munich, 3.5oz choc was my grain bill. How long you secondary on cherries and what type of cherries you use? Sorry for the questions brewed this for family gifts over the holidays.

80 acre.

Drinking nukebrewer's ESB. Man this is great.

Another.

Water and hoping the Caps don't blow it...

That's the worst feeling. I did that on both of my kegs yesterday with nothing in back-up. :what:

Cleaning kegs out and finishing the growler of Samurye.

not sure what's going on here. It taste like a malty Belgium chocolate stout, if that makes any sense.

Little bit of Evan Williams Single Barrel while watching Walking Dead.

I must be a hipster.

My notes are less then stellar but I am improving, slightly less but the same on the grain bill but only got a SG 1.093, 3 pounds of fresh cherries frozen and a pound of dried sour cherries for a month maybe two, i racked it when I had a chance.
Cherries are there for sure, not an outstanding but solid just the same, sorry couldn't be more of a help.

Hope I didn't f*** one of my mini kegs, I had a small batch parti gyle that was looking like it may be infected so I kegged it and cold crashed only thing is the probe was outside of the freezer:smack:
thew it back in reading −12F!

Drinking this,last years, makes it all better!

It started out that I was trading for them six or twelve at a time. (Thank you fff and bells for not selling to California) I shared with people that have friends and family in California and the stuff just shows up as I get paid back for sharing. This one was on my porch when I got home. Don't know who it is from but I am not bitching.
