Bay Area Thread

[pugsandsuds]

Fun time today. Quick 36 hour trip up from San Diego. Fieldwork PaulineVsSteve and Alvarado Yeast Driven were definite highlights. Pizza port was delicious too, but I'm extremely biased.

Great meeting BrandoSF and blackgnome and also always amazing seeing some very familiar faces. Headed down to San Jose to get irresponsibly inebriated on aqui's sangria swirls because nobody does fake Mexican food like the bay.

Edit: and the Lagunitas pseudo cannabis creation, that **** was delicious. Keene Idea too, but that just hangs around Alpine for growler fills these days

Who drugged me?
All I know now is that I am home safely and I cried while listening to Nights by Frank Ocean on the way home

The leftover kegs on Monday will probably be pretty awesome...

Tried some of the beers last night. Have to say that Lagunitas Super Critical is the most interesting beer I've tried in a long time. Smells and tastes like a bag of weed in the best way imaginable. Flawlessly executed.

Could not agree more. It tasted like an edible. That one & the 2 SARA beers were the standouts. There were also a couple duds, but the list was pretty damn solid top to bottom.

 

[Gaseous Clay]

Dutch Door was a pretty awesome beer. I wasnt expecting much, but they really hit it out of the park. I am curious what the base saison was. Tasted a lot like Capitola Sunset to me.

I think the only improvement I would make of legality was no object is to add cbd to the beer as well.

At least one brewery in Portland, OR is making CBD beers. The legality is... well, who cares?

 

[BrandoSF]

Pretty sure Black Hammer made a CBD beer too.

 

[Beerjaminfrankli]

Black Hammer Brewing in SF does one called "Frankie Says Relax" with CBD. I've wondered how that works legally but haven't looked into it.

No one goes there to drink it

Just noticed T-30 available at Toronado has a different label from the one available at RR.
The RR one has less details on the front label and is missing the story of the relationship between Dave and Vinnie.

Does it cost less than $40 at RR? That price is a joke.

 

[BrandoSF]

Yes. It's $20

 

[stupac2]

Yes. It's $20

Can confirm. Pretty decent beer, but lololololol at anyone who paid $40 for it. Orval is $8 for a 330 and better.

Incidentally, good to find out that the paisano is still the truth. It's been so damn long since I'd been to RR, I like the changes they've made (no more trough!).

 

[nothingisreal]

Aye y'all am I ****** up or sumn
But the beachwood x toronado 30 IPA taste like celery

 

[nothingisreal]

Beachwood, Pizza Port and FW
X

Celery beer is not rly celery anymore.
Pizza Port collab is tasty as hell.
FW collab is some good ****.

What the heck did you just say?

All of the beers are good is what I just said

 

[loeyjarko]

Alright I'm finally ticking t30. I'd buy the **** out of this at $15/750. When is Russian river going to make the Sonoma Pride beers again?

How did you sober up enough in 40mins and start to make sense, grammatically speaking?

 

[snuffy707]

T30 bottles are limit 12 at RRBC.

Hmmm, they were 6pp when I was there Friday.

Bought 1 this weekend before having on tap...which I then promptly returned for Santification. T-30 was gross. Wish I didn't buy the bottle.

Gross? No
Grossly overpriced? Yes

To each his own.

Beautification on tap was pretty swell. Still don't understand the $20/375ml price point tho. Passed on that.

Welcome to beer 2017. It seems like you have been missing the last few years as we got to this point?

Been a slow, but steady progression to get here. It has not just suddenly happened.

 

[buzzword]

had the last pour of the last keg of beat today at RR, then amir took it off the board.

murky as hell and 100% delicious!

this latest batch of temptation is also fantastic.
