Gonna miss both Poeticas... ;(

Dat Thursday only

 

[Mikecap]

Here's to hoping some iteration of Poetica is on tap for FoFA...

Also, **** is it gorgeous out tonight - enjoyed a can of Marie while cooking dinner - love this time of year

Thoughts while drinking today:

-I'm glad a bought a ton of Double Citra.
-I didn't buy enough Mary.

Probably skimped on Palatine too......

Nope, got plenty of that and Cabana. Which is one of the reasons I took it easy on Mary. But I find myself drinking a lot of all three.

#teampalatine?

Palatine > Mary > Qualify > Cabana for me, but it's pretty damn close.

Next time I get ahold of Mary, some Suarez, and a couple other Pilses (I hope Trillium cans the one they had growler only a few weeks ago) I'm going to do a blind pils tasting. That will be fun.

I'm planning to do this at some point soon with the ones I mentioned along with Coalesce, which is a really good Czech-style pils from Veil, and then whatever other ones I can find locally that are fresh.

I currently have Mary, palatine, cabana, and qualify. That is exactly my plan.

See you there!

Coalesce is delicious but I feel like it'll stick out like a sore thumb, flavor wise, from the others. (I bet wuntrikpony will agree)

Same with the southern gothic you forgot to include on your list.

This tasting should be done in Raleigh, since I haven't been able to drink Suarez in almost a month now

Sankt Hans, SS9 cans, and Nelson IPA cans.

Has Hill been given enough credit for lowering the prices on his growlers? That is pretty much unheard of

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

hopefully this batch of sankt hans is carbed. i opened a 2015 ~6 months ago and it was totally flat.

I’m assuming it is that’s why it’s $2 more this time.

Don’t comment about carb on insta or it gets deleted

Probably because Shane can’t handle the heat in the kitchen.

Sankt rules even without carb <3

it's ok to be critical when a brewery screws up. i love hf too, but that beer should've been carbonated.

I like golden doesjel too. Carb would be nice for either, and HF and 3F aren't above criticism, but carb isn't an absolute deal breaker for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Here’s the 2015 batch from a few weeks back. It has definitely carbed up a bit.

Disclaimer: my beer is kept in a room that gets warm in the Summer, and cold in Winter. Maybe that plays a part? I call it “accelerated cellaring”.

 

[Takeanotherswig]

I may be alone in this but Sankt Hans is one HF/Grassroots beer I never got into at all. Maybe it was the older versions that had an off taste to me. I dunno. Hoping to hear something about Vera Mae soon though!

I've only had Sankt Hans once but it didn't do anything special for me. Definitely one I'd be interested in revisiting though.

Lol, in fairness, Golden Doesjel isn't expected to be carbed. If it were, it wouldn't be called Doesjel.

I like both beers too, but am excited to try a carbonated Sankt Hans.

Looking forward to revisiting Sankt but am I the only one thinking... when's Nordic Saison making a comeback?

Edith is one I'd really like to see again. Drank my last 11/2014 bottle over Thanksgiving and it was insanely good.

 

[Resuin]

Sankt Hans was lower carb by design (according to HF). I'm a big fan and am excited for this new batch! It is interesting that it went up to $12 but still a good deal.

On that note when did Dorothy go up to $11?
