What are you drinking now?

Only had the B.O.R.I.S. and am dying to try the D.O.R.I.S.

This is going to be a great day if FedEx is on time!! Having some local roasted Ethiopian Yirgacheffe with breakfast, think this one is just a little too earthy for my taste. I does go well in the coffee RIS that we just made with bourbon and cacao nibs though.

 

More Coff. Just hammered 6 eggs.

 

Just picked these up for $5 each. I have heard good and bad things about the lips of faith beers, but couldnt pass up that deal. Anybody had these?

 

My thoughts exactly. It's pretty tasty and the price point isn't bad.

 

I have had Le Terrior and it is pretty good! I wouldn't think twice to pick that up for $5!! I would have grabbed a few

 

I will have that one early next week and probably have to grab a few more. They had cases of quite a few sitting out so I dont think they are going anywhere fast in this town. They also had 2013 bigfoots for only $6 a 4pack. Needless to say I had to get more

 

The only thing I really dislike about the Lips of Faith beers is that they are all pastuerized so aging them is pretty pointless. They are pretty hit and miss though. And that 2013 Bigfoot is drinking pretty good right now! I bet another year or two it will really start to shine.

 

I did not know that. Thanks for the heads up, I was probably going to age that brett beer.

 

I learned that tidbit talking to Lauren Salazar who does the blending of most all the Lips of Faith beers. New Belgium didn't want to buy a seperate bottling line for sours/wild yeast beer so they have to pastuerize.

 

They might as well have bought another bottling line, they put out a lot!

 

My thoughts exactly, but I can understand the economics of not wanting to after shopping for bottling lines myself. With their volume, that is a very large investment.

More coffee. Half of the pot down and starting to feel the caffeine :rockin:

 

Just started a cellar picture thread since there wasnt one.

Sampled my sour. It's coming along nicely. Smells funky.

I think overcarbed is overcarbed. Time won't make CO2 disappear.

 

Damn

 

Thimble Island American Ale. Local brewery that's been around since 2010 and that I just heard about last week. This one's pretty bad. Way too heavy on the crystal malt and the hop presence leaves much to be desired. Not the intensity, just the content. I don't know what hops they used, but they don't smell or taste very good at all. I'll give them the BOD for now as there is no packaging date on this so it could be old. Might go down to the brewery tomorrow and try their offerings straight from the source and see if that's any better. That's how Two Roads is for me, as well. Love their beer on tap at the brewery, but the bottles just don't cut it.

 

Coffee!

 

Spent the last hour hauling wood inside. Time to get going.

Love the ruthless. That'll hit the spot after haulin wood.

 

Savoring a sample of my DIPA brewed on 1/20, racked to secondary to harvest the yeast and dry hopped today.

 

Polishing off the pot of coffee. Gonna unpack this shortly. FedEx guy had to take two trips to get it all. DC and Mark killed it!

 

It's homer time!




Supernaut and Gandhi on-deck for Super Bowl Sunday.

 

Hot Chocolate. It is chilly in here. And I am way too lazy to turn up the heat.

 

Did you see their new plan to combat the line wait?

 

Dear Lord!

 

Nah - I have other homers that go there for me.

There were only 4 other people in line today. All ahead. That place is going to be a ----show later today and tomorrow with people filling 6-8 growlers each, like they always do. Super Bowl beer. It's like crack.

 

Took a detour before heading home. I was hoping I'd be here before the keg of FW 17 kicked, but didn't make it. So I'm having a little Rye on Rye instead.

How is that? Ive never had it before but picked up a bottle this morning. Probably gonna age it till next year though.

 

It's awesome. Definitely need to pick some up next time i see it

 

One word, Awesome! I say drink that bottle now and grab another to age if you want.

 

Thanks for the feedback! I figured at 12% it needed some time but I will soon find out. The guy at the store this morning told me that their Chocolate ale is coming out next Tuesday and he is putting the limit of 2 aside for me. Never had that one either but he said it was great and goes quick.

 

Drinking a Hopslam after finishing up a successful brew day!

 

Been runnin all day,& picked up A 6'r of the Deschutes NW PA,a bomber of New Belgium Ranger IPA,& & a 6'r of the Brew Kettle Rajah IPA. Waiting for them to cool down a couple hours.

There is still last years batch still around here . Might actually grab one soon

 

What?! I think its crazy how beers that like dont last long in places very close to the brewery (where you would think they distributed more), but then sit on the shelves for years the further away it gets. Doesnt make sense to me.

 

It's been so long since I had the Chocolate Ale that I don't know exactly how I felt about it. I'm pretty sure I liked it.

Apparently, they're serving craft beer now. So I'd say good.
