You mean The San Jose down The 280 or The 101?

NorCal does freeways wrong, there’s supposed to be a “the” because numbers are adjectives and there needs to be a subject, I’ll die on this hill, don’t @ me

Every Neoppolitan beer Ive had has been terrible. Any every BA version has been infected for what it's worth. I will def try and tick, but my hopes for this are near zero.

They'll sell out regardless. What do they care?

 

[KevSal]

Yep. I hosted a big monthly share for years. But parent stuff...

Grape & Grain shares back in the day ftw

AndresR with those golden gate shares recently have been awesome

I just found my 2009 Mirror Mirror. I'll bring it to the next share.

No need to pay $45 to see if it's infected! I'll crack it for a bag of cool ranch Doritos.

 

[CommanderofAwesome]

If 2009 MM is anything like the last batch they made, the infection would help.

Have you tried aged Supplication before? I drank an '09 or '10 in '14 and thought it was well over the hill. Just a muddled mess. I think Tempt and Sanct hold up well, but Supp's a better beer within their stated range of 3 years (right, isn't that what the old stamps meant?) but YMMV.

maybe i like cardboard more than most, but i still think supplication with 5+ years can be pretty interesting. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i agree that it doesn't taste its best that old, but it tastes good enough that it's fun to have alongside fresh and 2-3 year old bottles.

Ah, then you'd love Bigfoot approx 2010 - 2017! It ages like **** now

Torpedo Room update

TORPEDO’S AWAY Nosh reader and Torpedo Room fan Tim White contacted us to look into the recent closure of the Sierra Nevada Torpedo Room in Berkeley. The taproom on Fourth Street closed on June 13 without prior notice and all of its employees were let go that day. Nosh spoke with Dale Nelson, general manager of Sierra Nevada’s food and beverage operations, who said that the bar is temporarily closed “to reassess our business model and change directions a bit.” In a follow-up conversation with Sierra Nevada’s director of brand management Hunter Oetinger, she explained that employees were let go in June because the company hadn’t been totally optimistic about the taproom’s return. “We weren’t sure if it was going to reopen at all,” she said. Fortunately for fans, Sierra Nevada has decided to reopen Torpedo Room in early September.

When Torpedo Room reopens, it will have a kitchen and a food program, acoustic entertainment and educational classes taught by brewers from its Chico location. “We won’t be remodeling too much, but we will be adding in more chairs and tables to the space,” said Nelson. The idea of the reboot is to make the taproom more “conducive for long-term sitting.” A patio at Torpedo Room has long been in the works, and although construction of the outdoor space has been completed, Nelson said that the project is currently on pause due to “zoning and licensing issues,” and will not likely be in use when the taproom reopens. Torpedo Room, 2031 Fourth St. (at Addison), Berkeley

Crazy a brewery of their size does something without knowing the final result.

 

[KevSal]

hopefully it last as long as last years. pretty excited to hear its vinnie's favorite batch yet, wow!

Damn that's a bummer, I really liked the staff there. ****** way to get let go as well, w/o warning. Don't like that treatment. Also, how high was that damn rent? Place was usually pretty full everytime I went by, how where they losing money?

I disagree, I think that era of Supp was better than the equivalent Temptation or Sanctification I had at 'Tion night a few years back (maybe in 2014 also?) The acetic really mellowed out and all that was left was a smooth, tart cherry pie.

I haven't had the old stuff in a while, but I wouldn't be afraid to try it out.


Aged Beatification, on the other hand, is pretty ******* terrible. I had a 2012 recently and it was overwhelmingly sour with some weird funk, kind of like an extra sour rotten lemon.

pH1 was really good, when we drank it a couple of years ago. The rest of the vintages were terrible.

I did a vert of the last three batches and they got worse as they got newer. Not sure if they were worse out the gate, but it seemed to suggest that they were more appealing to me as they got older.
