A fellow smoker! Awesome!

I used to have a tiny little thing but my wife hooked me up this year and got me a new IRONWOOD 650 Traeger as an early Father’s Day gift. Literally have used it almost every night lol

Glad you enjoyed it. It definitely is getting better the longer it sits in the fridge. Guess that’s a lager for you lol

I wish you were my next door neighbor!

I'm finally getting a chance to dig into @aharri1 beers and am really liking his IPL. Nice, clean grainy malt with a fruity hop punch. I could drink a lot of this around the pool!! Nice job!

@JCasey1992 has a package sitting on his step waiting for him! Hope it stayed cold

Everything arrived safe and sound! Chilling as we speak. Will report back with pictures in the glass later today!

As for what I owe, as I explained to @aharri1, due to my tap springing a leak, I lost an entire keg of one of his beers before I could get it bottled. That said, I'm hopeful I can get it sent out soon. I will report back soon and I appologize for the delay.

Warning on that quad. Be careful. At 14.2% it’s a boozey doozey, but I think you’ll appreciate how exceptionally true to style it is.
Fig, cherry and plum upfront, a hint of banana aroma upfront and finishes like Naugahyde. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but allowing it to warm in a snifter on the couch...good stuff

 

[yoop89]

Cracked open Ygritte tonight @fourfarthing. Definitely an awesome mistake! I would definitely be remaking this one.

When you're right you're right! Definitely boozy but very drinkable! I'll add that I'm normally not a fan of Belgian beers but I could definitely come back for more of this! Definitely a great beer to sip on by the fire.

glad you enjoyed. At 2 years of aging, it could really stand for a harder pour to get the head developed so give that a try for your next one.

this has become my go-to nightcap, especially in the winter

@yoop89 sent me a second AWESOME package! Thanks man, this glass is sweet! And I am a glass collector, so even better!

Someone has a package at their door...

Literally just sent you a message lol.

Had 2 beers last night!

First, was @yoop89 Brett Rye. Awesome beer! I am not too versed in Brett beer, but this beer was tasty. I got citrus/lemon zest aroma, with a spicy rye flavor with a little bit of funk, and a little hop bitterness. This beer was different than what I am normally used to. But again, amazing!

Second, was the Flanders Red. Man, this beer had some complexity to me! Nicely sour, a bit funky. Rich caramel, slight toffee, with a bit of chocolate, and a few notes of cherry coming through also! It was a complex beer, and fun to sip, and pick out the different flavors.

 

[yoop89]

Glad you liked them! As you can see the Red turned out a little darker than I had hoped(adjusted this time around) but I was really surprised with the complexity from the 1st Gen 3278.

 

[user 263363]

@TwistedGray labeled this as Mexican Tea Funk if I read the label correctly. It is ever so tart and has a nice bit of funk behind. I don’t know if the funk is from fermentation or tea, but I really enjoy this. At 1% it’s basically a refreshing summer drink you could have any time of day

 

[camonick]

@wepeeler beers were waiting for me when I got home. My wife was kind enough to put them in the fridge so they’d be cold when I got home.

Most of the funkiness comes from the tea, but I feel that the Belgium yeast brings that out more.

@ajbosley2015 50% of my offer went out to you today! I also threw in a Whale to make up for you having to wait for the rest

 

[kingmatt]

Enjoying an excellent Quad from @aharri1 Great fig/plum notes and phenols from the yeast. Well done, sir!

Glad they came in safe. I was worried the heat was going to cause the caps to fail

One of the schwarz did leak from the cap. If it ends up being non-carbonated I’ll force carbonate in one of my growlers so no worries there
