its beer, its subjective. if you dig hoppy/bitter americany wee heavies with a ton of english caramel then maybe not. if you like a more subtle toffee/mild chocolate, with a bitterness from malts and not hops than ya. its in no way close to style because i hate bitter hop mouth, we opted to capture that tongue sensation & balance bittering by adding the salt. its ****** weird, depending on your buds and what you eat, the salt makes you taste all sorts of weird flavors on the beer from raisins to peat to like a bitter orange. I dont know, ask the bar tender for a sample or get a single bottle at bottles & cans.


I wish I could make that again. the deal with the homebrewer was we'd brew it once and that makes me a sad panda. maybe I'll chat the dude up and see what deal we can work out, I'd love that ****** to be summah cans.

I am not seasonally appropriate in my drinking at all. But it is also supposed to be 61 tomorrow. I want to crush that and B Nektar Slice of Life.

There's another bottle release next Saturday the 19th at Penrose that I think will be a very interesting look into the current state of beer nonsense. One of the two beers they're releasing is their 2015 version of their stout, Spectral. It's not BA. It does have vanilla beans added. They're releasing 12 ounce bottles of this alongside a 16 month Woodford aged dark abbey. You could go to the taproom today and take home growlers of Vanilla Spectral. Are people really going to line up to get a non-BA vanilla beer just because it is in bottles when you could go drink as much as you want of it any day of the week? Sadly, I bet they do. I'm interested to hear what the turnout is.

Whats a Penrose?

A Penrose tiling is a non-periodic tiling generated by an aperiodic set of prototiles. Penrose tilings are named after mathematician and physicist Roger Penrose, who investigated these sets in the 1970s. The aperiodicity of the Penrose prototiles implies that a shifted copy of a Penrose tiling will never match the original. A Penrose tiling may be constructed so as to exhibit both reflection symmetry and fivefold rotational symmetry, as in the diagram at the right.

A Penrose tiling has many remarkable properties, most notably:

• It is non-periodic, which means that it lacks any translational symmetry.
• It is self-similar, so the same patterns occur at larger and larger scales. Thus, the tiling can be obtained through "inflation" (or "deflation") and any finite patch from the tiling occurs infinitely many times.
• It is a quasicrystal: implemented as a physical structure a Penrose tiling will produce Bragg diffraction and its diffractogram reveals both the fivefold symmetry and the underlying long range order.

Various methods to construct Penrose tilings have been discovered, including matching rules, substitutions orsubdivision rules, cut and project schemes and coverings.

It'll be interesting to see how much longer that BA Abbey lasts since its not a stout nor a sour. I'm guessing people will give zero fuxx.

A buddy works near Binnys-LP, drove past and saw this about 30 minutes before opening today.

Let me guess - "Limit 2 cases, we promise it will last all weekend!"

WTF.

Probably Abraxas or Darkness, both of which apparently hit general distro in the last couple days.

I wouldn't wait 5 minutes for either of those personally but liners-gonna-line.

This is true.
BA Abbey ales will be sooo hawt in 2016.

Serious question -- this is a thing now?

I thought the pic of Capone's or whatever store that was just happened to be a funny anomaly, but this is really SOP? I need to stop looking in here...not even funny anymore.

Today is the day when any bottles set aside for specifically for FWB's go up for grabs.

OK I snorted a little. So these guys are just jockeying for position at 7am to go a scoop up someone else's unclaimed (PW?!!) bottles they probably forgot about 2yrs ago?

Anyone see Emporium change their prices for their BCS event today after people bitched up a storm? Pretty funny, as they still would have sold out at the previous prices.

Anyone have/see a screenshot of the original prices...they deleted the post? Here are the prices as of now:

Okay, okay.... here is the UPDATED & final price list for today. After seeing how upset you all were about prices, we decided to take a hit on some of the profits. We based our prices on what we saw bars around town charging & apparently that was a bad idea. So, here ya go....

* 2009 BCBS - $40
* 2014 BCBS - $15
* 2015 BCBS - $25
* 2014 BCB Barleywine - $15
* 2015 BCB Barleywine - $25
* 2012 BCS Coffee - $35
* 2014 BCS Coffee - $15
* 2015 BCS Coffee - $25
* 2014 BCS Vanilla Rye - $50
* 2015 BCS Regal Rye - $35
* 2013 Proprietor's BCS - $65
* 2014 Proprietor's BCS - $50
* 2015 Proprietor's BCS - $35
* 2015 Rare BCS (raffle for purchase) - $90


I think 2009 was originally 60 and rare was 120. 12 Coffee was either 50 or 55. Those are the only ones that I really took note of the first time around.

Awww look how nice they're being by reducing their profit on '13 Prop to only $45/bottle...******* saints they are!
