Supposedly getting a few crowlers sent over this week (if a friend of a friend comes through... Ugh).. Stupid excited. Coconut milk DIPA is tops on my list, but what else should I be asking for since that sea salt grapefruit IPA doesn't seem to be on?
Eta: how much do they generally cost? Trying to be responsible over here (ha ha ha right
What am I missing with this brewery? I've been 4-5 times wanting them to be as good as everyone says. All their beers taste pretty much just "OK" to me. The IPAs and pales are their best work, the doubles and triple are way too sweet for me, in a pretty unpleasant way. A majority of their flavored beers I find mostly undrinkable. The coffee stout was good, and the "weisse" series has been all right, but not better than something I could go pick up off a shelf locally. Yet I keep going back, because usually when this many people are excited about something they are right. But each time I bring a growler to fill and leave with it empty, wondering what the hype is about...
Ya'll create too many threads.
Giant Fieldwork homer. Been a fan since day 0. Sat in on a few business planning meetings over a pour of Pupil in San Diego and c̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶m̶o̶r̶e̶ ̶h̶a̶p̶p̶y̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶y̶'̶v̶e̶ ̶a̶c̶h̶i̶e̶v̶e̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶s̶u̶c̶c̶e̶s̶s̶e̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶y̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶s̶u̶c̶h̶ ̶a̶ ̶s̶h̶o̶r̶t̶ ̶p̶e̶r̶i̶o̶d̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶t̶i̶m̶e̶. Owner's a jerk, brewer's unbearable. Terrible tasting room. I'll be there twice this weekend.
Their Crowlers are great. However they don't hold carb as well as I would have hoped. I got two last thursday and both were pretty much flat when I opened them on Friday (Still tasted great).Supposedly getting a few crowlers sent over this week (if a friend of a friend comes through...

What am I missing
We should be there ~4pm on Sunday.You'll be around, eh? I'll be busy and drunk on Saturday, but I probably should figure out when you will be around on Sunday.
Is that pic of me or you? Hard to tell to be honest.Went there to meet tosh ~4 weeks ago. Pretty nice spot though I can imagine it getting packed at times if people like it as much as it sounds like.
Didn't have the chance to try any of the hoppy stuff, but I WILL be back. Had two beers, greatly preferred Amarilloweisse.
The Amarilloweisse was "Pretty good, lightly tart, lightly hoppy, drinkable, not complex."
The Mandarina Tart Saison was wholly disappointing. It was "barely tart, very mandarin orangey, like a mix of juice and syrup."
tosh was pleasant but gif'd less in person and gifted more. Thanks for the pringles and beers mate.
I'll be back to try the hoppy stuff, and hopefully good tart beers.
I have Société beat on bottle releases.They have Societe beat on bottle releases.
Beatitude and Beatification have Societe beat on bottle releases.I have Société beat on bottle releases.
I've got high hopes for the bottles. The draft stuff is good, but not quite Cellarmaker/Sante level.

Thanks to tosh , I got to try Coconut Milk DIPA. It almost verges on too sweet but I was able to drink quite a bit of it. ABV is very well masked. The coconut is a more forward than I thought it would be.

Did you get there early for bottles? I went on Saturday and they said all the bottles of Vikings Lament were spoken for before they even opened. I guess ppl started lining up around 830ish.Went Sunday and got some bottles of Good Conduct, and a pour of both Good Conduct and Vikings Lament. Both were damn good.
However, ****ing Fieldwork. Get your dishwasher fixed or replaced. I had to send back two glasses that were covered in lipstick stains all around the edges, and everybody in my group had issues with their glasses also. C'mon man, it wasn't like they were barely noticeable lipstick stains either.
I don't know if this has been an issue for them the whole time, or just this weekend, but damn, we all got turned off pretty quick from our beer, but after a few mins, got over it.

Thursday morning bottle releases do not draw much of a crowd. Happy about that, bet tomorrow or Saturday won't be like this.
