Sucking back a Hobgoblin - Now I know...

What MY first brew is supposed to taste like when I give it enough time.
(Shut up Revvy)

I bottled my EBA a couple of weeks ago, and of course couldnt wait the entire 3 week stint to crack the first one and sample. (Ive drank more than half a case of 22s already) and I must say, they were quite tasty. A little hot, but tasty nonetheless.

Today while shopping at my local Kroger I spotted a couple of interesting brews that I have seen mentioned before here.
Arrogant Bastard Ale, Couple of Hefes, and Hobgoblin EBA. I chose the Hobgoblin as I have an EBA conditioning in the bottles now, and I wanted to do a 'taste test' of sorts.
Mmmmmmmmm, wow this is a tasty beer! I can see the resemblance of my EBAs and how they SHOULD taste provided I leave them alone long enough!
This has given me new motivation to let them mellow a bit - This is some tasty brew!
(Okay Revvy, you can insert your comments now) Yeah, you told me so...
Once...
Okay more than once...
Damn it! In every stinkin post you have posted!!
Luv ya anyway :cross:

Hobgoblin is good stuff! Now you make me want to go to the fridge and have a Hobgoblin, too. (I'm trying to do my lesson plans, and it won't help much) If you haven't already, check out Wychwood's website, their posters are great, especially the one for Magic Potion!
I feel your pain, my first batch hit 2 weeks in the bottle today, and man, it tastes great, but so did the 4 I've already had in the last 2 weeks while it was still green!

Hobgoblin is a really fine English ale. I've done a clone before and the one I put in the fermenter today was heavily influenced by the Goblin.

yum!!

Have you learned how to pour a beer yet, or are you still terrorizing you wife and kid with those hideous yeast farts? Don't they drink BMC at those MMA events? You're going to be labeled a beer snob, and then Chuck Liddel is going to kick the holy hell out of you!:rockin:

ohhhh... Hobgoblin... i mean damn man i am not a big beer drinker and to me sometimes a Hobgoblin is the only thing that cuts it at all... but i also cant tolerate some of the other english ales out there... im werid... but when in the mood, ill go for the goblin

Cheers

LOL yes I know how to properly pour a HB. (I watched the youtube vid long before I cracked my first - just got carried away then)

Yeah, they only serve BMC at the events but normally when I have a fighter in the booth with me (we) are getting free beers. My fellow commentator/announcer is a pro fighter too - so far I havent been threatened for being a beer snob. (Only threatened if I DONT come out and train with them one of these days...) What is it about beating up on a totally inexperienced slob that is so appealing? :cross:

The one time I met Chuck in person, he just finished KOing Randy for the second time. I think I could have taken him then...

For a beer that is

I heard Chuck on an episode of NPR's "Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me!" Sounds like a cool guy. You're a good sport, too. We should have a beer sometime!
