Craft Beer MAW(Easy Version)

[absoluthamm]

Novel idea for future wish lists folks, keep it as regional as possible. By adding something like Pipeworks to the current list and removing GB, it would probably seal the deal, just as an example.

I tried to make mine multi-regional. Northeast and Colorado. Otherwise you'll probably be getting some regions overloaded and others that can't get an edge in. And you never know what some people might have from other trades that they are willing to give up. For example, I have a couple 668's that I would part with one if it was on the list with only one Chicago beer, but if that Chicago beer wasn't listed because of region-specific MAWs, they would be missing out on something they want.

Shipping info sent to rjbank.

You're up!

 

[wobrien]

I got a couple cans. They fit nicely in my hands. Id let you hold em if you've got some nice cans too, that you'd let me hold. Id even say we should drink from them. If not, Id gladly keep my cans in my hands.

We could go lay down by the bay and make things out of clay. I just may, what do you say?

I'll hit you up after the holidays (along with about 5 other people I need to trade with, lol)

Id just make your list multi regional, unless you want a certain regions beers, but have enough from each region to make it a toss up for everyone. Of course its a little easier said than done. I think things are going just fine but it is something to think of when your making a list.

Yeah I tried to do a couple regions where I dont get their distro, with enough on the list from each region that either one could hit it if someone wanted to. It makes sense, but I don't think it needs to be a rule.

Verdict for me is in... Ghandi Bot > Heady IMHO

One day i'll get my hands on some ghandi and see if you're correct

I'll do my best to grant it when it comes! I love ghandi, and I think the taste is superior to heady. The aroma of heady might be better though.

This just proves I need to do my blind IPA tasting. I will be putting up an ISO next year in conjunction with some friends, want to do a side by side w/ Pliny, Heady, Ghandi, Jai Alai, Zombie, a local or two to twist things up, and maybe a HF IPA if possible. Hardest part will be coordinating getting them all fresh.

I did one this summer. Blind tasting among 5 of us. Heady Topper, Pliny the Elder, Ghandi Bot, along with my clone of heady topper, and a random stone beer (dont remember which one, but it wasnt even close to the other 4.

The best news was that my clone was competitive against the whole group, ranking well. Only one guy said "thats the homebrew".

I personally ranked GB 1st, HT 2nd, my clone 3rd, pliny 4th. The consensus was that pliny is third, but not far removed. GB and HT were competetive.

I havent had them side by side, but I can say for sure that zombie dust doesnt really belong in a comparison. Its really a pale ale with mega hop punch, versus and IPA or even IIPA. Its a helluva pale ale though! Now if you took FFF Permanent Funeral and matched it up... THAT I would like to see the results. I put it as top three, but hard to really discern the difference without that side by side... but I did have one in sept. and it was rediculously awesome.

 

[jaydog2314]

Agreed on ZD. I've made 2 clones and have had plenty of ZD being in the distro, great pale ale, but no comparison to HT or PtE or Gandi. I think Gandi is better than the other 2 personally. I also had Snake Handler this past summer and I thought that was an excellent DIPA as well! (some of these will be on my MAW wishlist for sure!)
