...so, anybody actually drinking their Good beer or what? Curious how the Q2 club bottles taste.

I'm also curious.

 

[tosh1]

Tangerine one is pretty damn good. Very enjoyable and glad I git an extra bottle.

The coffee one does not sound my kind of thing at all.

Poo, that's the one I was curious about. Oh well, guess I'll just have to try it this weekend.

I had it, I want more coffee flavor. It's really well balanced, but I wanted more in your face coffee. Great beer though, I had it on tap so I am sure it will be even better out of the bottle.

Traded it all for lambic


Kidding. I am going to get into a bottle or two this week. Excited for Coulter and California Tree one. For some odd reason like beers of that style. Moonlight did a redwood for tip beer I loved.

Send some bottles to my PNW boo NAD1983 so he can chime in too with his egalitarian palette

If you like pine leaf beers then you will like this one. I personally thought it smelled too pinesol like for me. I have yet to have a pine beer that I liked though.

Cracked open a Coulter Crisis last night. Posted my thoughts in the Official Tinder Good Beer Group. Anyways, it reminded me of a more tart version of Special Herbs. Special Herbs is my most favoritest beer! Anyways, I swear this thing was aged in gin barrels, but nope it is oak. And the 5.4% ABV label doesn't jibe with the 7% untappd ABV rating. Oh well, not super boozy and supremely crushable like all their other beers. Carb came and went quite quickly. Not much pine flavor, which is good, since that does not seem like a favorable flavor in flavortown. Subtle amount which I liked. gave some to the baby, but he spit it out.

Interesting. I hated this beer, couldn't finish it. Way too sour, couldn't pick up anything else from it.

I love Flanders

Oh me too, I guess I should clarify. I bought this without really reading the description. I saw the fruit and went for it, when I did read I was a little heaitant. But this is a very friit forward beer, fruity sour as well. The flanders is there, just in the background.

Sudwerk actually brewed Flanders Reds called "Stupid Sexy", "diddly" and "neighborino". Not sure if they were different brews, or if they changed the name a few times.

There's definitely a Sun King beer called Stupid Sexy Flanders. I had it at What the Funk in 2013.

So what's with this new IPA from GBC being released today???

 

[kbenson]

Hey guys. I lost my GBC trustee a ways back (Miklos, RIP). Would anyone local be able to help a fella out? I guess my alternative would be to ship it to my Bruery trustee but these beers are all expensive enough as it is...

What's this now? The only mention of an IPA I found online is from The Good Beer Co in Brisbane, Australia.

Just as a follow-up and closer to OC peeps, Native Son Alehouse (in DTSA) will be tapping a keg of Cool Island Song on Saturday at 6pm

Just popping in to say Dr Howards Cobbler was awesome. The hype may have died down, but GBC is still pumping out good ****.
