Fellowship of the Drink VII: The Drinkers Awaken

[jerbrew]

Pretty much have tried everything of theirs. The brewery is just a few miles from the house.



I absolutely love their sours.



What was your collab brew's name?

Got it. Less drink peeps told me it's "Hive Minds".

Just grabbed Treehouse on my way home from a Boston trip. Torn between an Ommegang or an IPA themed offer.

Both!

Yeah, I had that the last time I was there. It's an IPA with a lot of honey which cuts into the hoppiness of the beer. It was really good.

Thing with them is they usually only can three different ones at a time (run about $15+/- for a 4-pack); however, they can always toss it in a crowler!

You know where I stand.

I would love to try more stuff from Ommegang.

Crowlers are amazing. Can't wait for them to get a canner for them so I can ship the goodness.

Oh, pardon the confusion but they do have a caner, so whatever you want I can ship. BUT what I mean is that it's likely only available in a crowler.

...brewery is just a few miles from the house...

Monterey or Salinas? I'm going to be in Monterey 19-23, so that's obviously a main stop... it's been a while since I've been down that way, what else is good? Last I remember, Cannery Row Brewing Company (not a brewery... &#129300 was the only thing around there.

Haha. No, I'm sorry for the confusion. I meant I can't wait for Pure Project to get one.

Salinas

You have Peter Bs, English ales, Monterey Coat Brewery, ASB, and likely something I forgot off top of my head.

What brings you down here?

Ah, your fault!

Shooting a short film that week, but I'll be back in August for Concours. Love the area, but it's just *that much* too far from SF/Marin/Sonoma.

And thanks for the reccos! I'm definitely going to try getting to all of those, but I may get "stuck" at Alvarado St! [emoji16]

Sounds "horrible".

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

7. PianoMan (maybe?)

I won't be able to make the deadline. Keeping an eye on this round for sure, enjoy all.

Could be worse!

Oh that'll be a regret in the near future...

They're by far my favorite... same feeling about Petaluma, just a bit too far.

 

[JDXX1971]

I just drank part of my offer. Holly s#*% I am impressed. Hopefully I can get another. Haha.

Well hey, if you happen to be in Monterey that week, maybe I'll see ya at Alvarado St!

Venture to the salinas location

Otherwise happy to do a lunch play date.

 

[TwistedGray]

I wanted to sweeten my offer just a smidge, so I'll include some dextrose.

 

[RevKev]

This may be the first FoTD that I'm going to sit out. I think I have to withdraw I didn't realize how much crap I have to do for teaching my summer course I'm sorry, haven't even been able to go anywhere besides home and campus
