Citra Hero was quite disappointing. Jukebox and Galaxy ftw.

Wow Eugene is stupidly good

It's damn delicious for a standard porter.

When will they listen and can that Coffee Eugene!

Wasn't crazy about Citra. Really like Double Fist tho

Not many standard porters I would rather drink

 

[gregkoko]

The flavor profile is off the charts. As far as regular porters go, deserves to be in the convo with Edmund Fitzgerald, Founders, and Everett

Even though I hate you guise, I'll take the likes. Cross post.

I don't know how official the previous BCBS news was but this at least confirms the Vanilla variant was aged in rye barrels, 4 different in fact.

Go to RiotFest pls.

I have a ticket, just waiting on some scheduling stuff to make sure I can go. Great lineup this year.

Lollapalooza is three days of ogling young ladies (2014: the year of the underbutt), walking around in the sun and drinking/shotgunning beer with my friends. If I see a few good bands on top of that, so much the better.

Phantogram was terrific last night.

IN. (If I'm not in Vegas that weekend.)

Lolla is stupid expensive but it is by far the best-designed and run festival around in terms of space, food, beverages, and other logistics. Plus they have a craft beer tent (with Stella, 312, and Shock Top ...). This year's tickets sold out like a 2014 limited beer release though so I'm sure it'll get more expensive next year.

Posted once elsewhere but just in case, anyone care to go in on shipping to PDX to donate to Brews for New Avenues? Info is here: http://www.talkbeer.com/community/threads/iso-donations-brews-for-new-avenues-ft.10309/

I have a 6-shipper and will throw in ~3 nice bottles. PM me if you're interested. They have a 'wall of beer' for blind auction so if, like me, you don't have a cellar shelf turd bombers are acceptable to go towards that event. I plan on contributing a Rosé de Gambrinus and a couple nicer shelf beers for what it's worth.

Sorry to butt in, but its driving me crazy. What does FIB stand for?

Cool, thanks.

While we're on it, is FIB new to anyone else? The concept isn't new to me, but I always heard/knew it as FIP. Not until I got deep into the beer scene did I start hearing FIB.

That FIB definition is especially hilarious since THE REASON WE DRIVE THE SPEED LIMIT IN WI IS BECAUSE WE GET PULLED OVER THE SECOND WE DO 5 OVER!

I can confirm this. Only time I got a speeding ticket was in WI doing 8 over.

Why should we pay for our state troopers and county sheriffs when we can have you do it for us?

They have to pay for their nice roads somehow.

Anybody have a lead on where I might find SN Beer Camp in the city?

I'll be at New Glarus Saturday morning with my family if anyone wants to get that TB member tick.

Anyone going up tomorrow? We're driving up tomorrow afternoon and I'm considering stopping by then to get all the non-VSP beer I want so I can grab my VSP and go the next morning.

Going tubing after.

I'm about to head up to Madison now and sleeping at my buddies tonight. Heading out early tomorrow.

I look forward to hearing about how crazy this release is after last year's easy VSB release.

It'll totally still be available that afternoon, right? I'm sure.
