Are S&S4 large growlers really only $16 now?

$20 now. Formerly $22.

I wanted to post something about how great yesterday was but don't really have the words for it. Drank several beers I never thought I'd get the opportunity to taste again; all were as good, if not better than I recall them being. I'd like to insert an JulianB quote about Shaun's cellaring process but I'm too lazy. It was awesome seeing so many familiar faces and meeting new ones. Only disappointment was missing out on Mary cans, but I don't think I'll die of thirst.

Also, if anyone is in Waterbury, make sure you grab a pour of Genealogy at The Blackback. Holy crap is this batch better than I remember the last.

I didn't think I'd get to have this again, held up really though the acidity is starting to take up a lot room

Flora Cuvee on site yesterday

crazy I missed that

 

[bdalik]

Any idea if this is returning in 2018?

Heard it was coming back, but in California this year.

Decided to extend my ski trip a few days (sans wife). I'll be there Wednesday at open if anyone wants to split a fancy bottle -- hit me up here as I have few real life fancy bottle friends.

 

[BSimp603]

I'll get fancy with you.

 

[MooltiPass]

I also anticipate being there at opening on Wednesday should you need a third member for the fancy bottle club.

2. to misrepresent
3. to act unworthily according to the standards of (a tradition, one's ancestry, one's faith, etc.).

I'm not a credentialed Nietzshean narrative analysis specialist, but I'm pretty sure that what they said is exactly what they meant.

It's right there in the first thing the word can mean. Just read it as, "Its complex flavors contradict the singular vision with which we create it." Pretty textbook use of the word.

Shaun Hill is easily the best linguist in the world. There's honestly no one else remotely in his class, in my estimation. These words are so much better than anything else I've read, in their prose, and this is true across so many different types of communications. It's just unbelievable the degree to which I enjoy these words more than other representations of the same thoughts. I don't say this lightly either. It would be convenient if I didn't need to drive a thousand miles for my favorite words on labels, but that's just the reality of the situation.

Has the original been made into a t shirt yet? Would consider buying one. Srs.

I've read the original quote or some variation of it dozens of times now and I continue to be amazed that: (1) it still makes me laugh each time; (2) JulianB took the time to key out all those words; and (3) after keying out all those words he thought it would be a good idea to post them.

I had a friend that remained 'active' on a skate messageboard for months deleting every post he wrote before submitting

Shortly after I wrote that I passed out in a chair with a drink still in my hand (cc: Fahmie25). I'm actually amazed there weren't more spelling errors. Swype's autocorrect can be maddeningly annoying sometimes, but can also magically make drunken typing legible.

I once passed out in an armchair in front of a wood stove battling against a 2L Susan. The remaining oz or two in a teal balloon and the fact I woke up in the armchair the next morning were evidence I lost. HF be crazy sometimes

I honestly wish I had a photo gallery of my most impressive pass outs (and not the fake staged ones in Tampa we used to troll tosh). I do recall last summer I fell asleep on the train back to NYC from Long Island with a red solo cup full of Tilquin balanced on my knee. Fahmie25 or jammery probably has a pic of that one...

Unfortunately I had to cut my trip short due to the expected weather down in New York tomorrow, so it looks like I'll have to live (fancily) vicariously through you two.

 

[BSimp603]

I'll pour out some DB Damon for you.

 

[Shakedwnst]

Into a plastic bag? Otherwise I’m not sure you’re going to want to waste that DB Damon

This might be a dumb question, but I've become a bit of a coffee snob over the last year. Not a good thing wallet wise when coupled with my beer addiction. Anyway, does anyone know if Earl always uses the same coffee and/or blend of coffees? I recall a batch in bottles a year or two ago that noted a specific coffee from Coffee Collective (I think), but otherwise, I just go off of the description which notes a Guatemalan blend.

I'm drinking a growler now and the coffee flavor is just so balanced and superb, as it was in the cask last Friday. Love how it interacts with the base stout and that signature smooth fluffy mouthfeel. Would love to buy and roast the beans used in the beer on their own. Might just be a question for the brewers themselves but figured I'd post here first...
