The Shape of Hops to Come. Fantastic DIPA from these guys. Great to have some solid local options while visiting family in Philly for a few days. Cheers!!

I know this is unlikely as you're something of a teetotaler, but were you maybe drunk?

I packed early in the morning so there is a small chance I was still drunk from night before.

If I remember rightly, that is from last years batch - I bought one from the new batch that just came out, but I found that newer one still in my fridge the other day - I must have sent you an older one by mistake. I actually meant to send you the older Valley of the Hearts (original batch) and ended up sending this years batch. I kind of ****ed that all up.

It's awesome. Stop being silly

Popping my de Garde Cherry courtesy of SocalKicks and his unbelievable BIF box. Outstanding. Lives up to the hype.

Agreed it is likely better than the fresh one - but the original VoTH was better than the remake.

I'm enjoying this a lot.
Getting ready to not give a **** bout anything until tomorrow. Peace out, Friday.

Despite the things I'd heard about this I decided to pick one up when I saw it. When I cracked it open instead of getting any hop aroma I got the smell of sweet malt. The pour looked surprisingly viscous and smelled even sweeter. In the glass the smell hints at hops but is overwhelmed by the malt. If you let a DIPA sit around in the back of your fridge for a year, this is how I imagine it would taste. Nicest thing I can say about it is I like the can. Terrible.

I told RayP to make sure you shared that one. Beautiful isn't she?

 

[bahnfire]

this is dang good

I drank my lone bottle of this with dinner tonight (no pic). Wasn't a favorite, but still enjoyable. Now onto my first can of SOS in 6 weeks or so.

In the Vermont's Finest Liquids Lovers group on Facebook folks regularly post about how SOS doesn't live up to the hype or otherwise is not as good as it used to be (mostly from folks who mistakenly believe it was originally brewed in VT). I'd just like to take this opportunity to say they're all idiots. SOS if ****ing delicious, and 95-100% as good (depending on the batch) as any of the VT brewed Lawson's.

Getting relatively twisted

Strawberry 70 Degree and Sunny from King Harbor in Redondo Beach. These guys play second fiddle to El Segundo, Smog City, and Monkish in the South Bay, but this was a tasty saison perfect for the beach.

Splitting this with the wife. Apparently she now likes these big beers from the brewery. I'm in trouble

On Long Beach Island for the weekend. Found some 3wk old cans of GF Sculpin at the local grocery store. Decided not to go out to the bar after all.
