say Ace how does the hoptimum compare to the torpedo?
haven't seen the 2011 bf here yet. not to stray too far off topic but any sightings of the sn hoptimum?
As blasphemous as it sounds, I haven't tasted either. I'm not much of a hophead, therefore my purchases tend to lean towards Moose Drool, Duchesse de Bourgogne and Hennepin.
I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of Bigfoot in the Chicago-land area. It's such a well-balanced barleywine. Absolutely delicious, especially in these cold winters.
we all have different tastes I'm a hop-head and can't seem to find anything on the menue around here that I'd like to try. Pliney, hopslam, hoptimum, nada.
Oh well, thats why I make beer. Btw, your bears are getting spanked right now, wtf?
Also not a football fan. Unless we're talking EPL.
Ace_Club said:To get this thread back on topic, still no Bigfoot sighting here in my area, at least not at the stores I frequent.
Bigfoot sighted in St Louis. $10.49 a six. Yum!
I wish they would make this and Hopslam more available.
you may check the big liquor stores if the small places dont have it. In OK only the big mega liquor stores get limited release beers like bigfoot and celebration. the small shop by my house has all the normal SN beers but never got celebration. when I brought it up with the owner of the store, he blew up about the politics behind the distribution and allocation agreements....
My local Whole Foods had it last year, but so far nothing.
That stinks, I just drank the first one of the six pack and it was awesome. I'm putting the other 5 in the closet and not touching them for awhile.
You might ask someone working in the beer section about it, maybe they could tell you when it might hit.
Bigfoot begins shipping on the 17th of January and will filter into the marketplace shortly thereafter.
I'm still holding onto mine since they age amazingly.

Hopefully I'll score a case this week if I'm lucky.
I scored a sixer a year or so ago with one bottle each:
1993
1995
1996
1997
2001
2004
I haven't yet found an occasion special enough to open them.
Specs in Elgin TX just got some today. I think only a case though.
This year seems a LOT smoother for being so young. I'm curious if they brewed this earlier in the year and aged it longer. This year is so damn tasty. Boozy, pine and slight citrus, big mouthfeel and immediately warming.. all the while being very balanced.
