That 805 in the sampler is usually not distributed outside of CA, but we have gotten a few of those here in AZ so I always grab em when I see em.

I was just about to look that up, thats kinda surprising. Let us know how it is, I may have to grab a 6er or two to age.

Will do

First time with this. Only got one 4pk but definitely going back for more!

I think it's been said here before but this trumps Founders Breakfast Stout easily.

This a really decent brew. I feel like it's almost a white ipa. Huge hints of grapefruit and other citrus.

Did anyone else's app borders and stuff go from red to blue?

Whelp, flight was canceled due to what was initially announced as a 'minor' maintenance issue...

Yep, I liked the red better but it works at least.

Scrambled onto a later connecting flight. Time for a beer. I hate traveling.

Lol yeah. Except when you look at posts it shows the first post and not the last.

You can change that. I have it set to show me the posts i havent read yet, pc or app.

I really like enjoy by!

Enjoying some down time

Surly Abrasive.

First taste of HB nut brown ale...Christmas kit. Included gypsum and Irish moss. Flavor is nice. Bitterness is more pronounced than last batch. Color and clarity are very good. Carb is not bad...may improve a little with a couple more weeks in the bottle.

This while i unpack some trades. Damn its good!

First attempt at all grain, simple pale ale. 1 gallon biab, I believe its the bee house recipe on here. Not too shabby!

I was lucky enough to find some Zombie Dust

Down with the brown tonight.

Any lager brewers have favorite recipes? I'm planning on brewing a Baltic porter this weekend and haven't found anything I really like online. Have a CAP in the works, too, but that seems pretty easy. Also thinking about an IPL.

Having a wee glass of BK's port before I get the galaxy brett I drunkenly put in the fridge last night and thankfully didn't open.

Moving on to my Belgian Strong Dark HB...I need to free up some bottles! I have nothing brewing and no bottles! And SWMBO is going to start objecting if I have to keep buying bottles! Anyway, this brew is tasty! The roasty notes are *slightly* taming down and the fruity notes have changed since last time I tasted it. I'm too much of a newbie to find the right words for it. But it's good!

Got me some nugget nectar!

Buying bottles? I know what both those words mean, but when you put them together like that I don't understand. Maybe you can find some nearby in this thread. Are you in a local homebrew club? That can be another good place to find bottles in addition the other benefits. Too bad you're on the wrong side of NC or I'd drop a few cases on you.

My HB kolsch. First test bottle after 2 weeks. Good, fresh, meet with approval by my father who grew up in cologne.

I make a Baltic Porter with White Labs San Fran Lager yeast that does well in Competition... I can PM the recipe if you'd like to look it over.

I haven't joined a local club yet...looking into it. I may have found a few cases on Craig's List...waiting on an e-mail response. Some others out there, but require longer drives. I'm only a few months in on home brewing and I'm putting more stuff INTO the bottles than I'm emptying! Thanks for the info and good intentions!!!

Really digging this. Need it while the family melts down.

Ask your local craft beer bars, most of them don't mind throwing a few cases next to the recycling bin for homebrewers.

Second half pour. Even better as it warms up!

Having this. 2007 raison d'extra

Staying hydrated with PBR, payday with o/t tomorrow so I will re-stock the beer fridge and get a trade put together and shipped out.

If it's not will you send a replacement lol

Had something with a similar name on tap a while back and didn't like it. If this is in fact what I had on tap approximately 8 months ago, then it either got better or it's much fresher. Not blown away by it, but there's much more hop character than before. Not sure I'd buy a 4-pack again, but I'd certainly give it a second chance on tap.
