It's better than S&S5?!

For me, yeah. Barely edges it out. I mean, we'll see how this new batch is but DAMN have I been eagerly awaiting this one

 

[Corbot_3000]

If anybody can hook me up with a few tasters, I'll make it worth your while.

 

[Adam Jackson]

Not in a while. It also happens to be my favorite of the S&S series

Looks like October is when S&S4 was last on at the brewery.

For me it's 5, 3, 1, 4, 2, 7 and 6 in order of favorite to least favorite (based on my RB reviews). Although I should probably re-rate #2 because I remember it was brewed around this time last year (2nd time it was brewed) and I loved it. a 9.5% roasty chocolate black IPA. Domed a 2 liter and it was a great night.

Phil doesn't believe I take on 2 liters of Abner by myself but it's roughly a 6-pack of beer from 5pm - 11Pm. not crazy really but Phil is a lightweight

Also, my HFS history sometimes is **** but I do believe S&S2 is the beer that became Jimmy.

I guess it depends on how you're defining a "6 pack", but it's over 9 units of alcohol. I've done it too, but it wrecks me. I guess over 6 hours, not so bad.

Us neck beards don't drink based on units. Basically I fill a glass of Abner every hour and then drink 2 glasses of water, go to bed and feel great the next day. I also weigh 290...but we're all different.

Haha, fair enough. At this point, I only fill 750s of the DIPAs - only things I've gotten 2Ls of at HF recently are Edward and single hop pales.

I've tackled a 2L of Abner by myself. Wouldn't say I felt great the next day, but I didn't drink as much water as you and I have no neckbeard.

 

[parkingphi]

Call me crazy, but I prefer Walden and Susan over the other IPAs with What is Enlightenment in a close 3rd.

 

[cfrances33]

I just want more Nelson Single Hop.

 

[parkingphi]

Oh and Amarillo Single Hop is up there too.

Susan is definitely my favorite

I want more Nelson as well.... Preferably with 5 months of age on it.

 

[MikeG1]

Seconded. Last time we went up, I killed a 2L of it by myself in under 36 hours.

Better than any IPA from California

 

[Respirologist]

I am so happy i'm going up Thursday

 

[yasky]

ISO - HF Tasting Glasses. Damn I wish it was August already!

 

[Frank1]

Pssssssssssh. Give me Motueka or give me death!

Nelson is a close second.

"Hi all,

Just a quick update that we're working hard to get all the details pulled together for this year's event, being held August 16th here at the brewery. We've lined up the music, the food and we're just hammering out the ticketing details.

We will be doing the ticket release through Ticket Alternative, much like last year with a multi-day sign up period online and then a random drawing of winners. The sign up window will be plenty of time for everyone to enter, and the drawing will follow shortly after that so winners can plan travel accordingly.

Sorry for the lateness, but so much has depended on the construction progress, as you can imagine. Thanks for your patience!

Bob"

YES!! Never been to a FoFA before but it works out that I can go this year. Hoping to get lucky with the lottery now...

You could say I like Susan too.

How old is that Susan?

Honestly guys how long do you feel HF Growlers last in the fridge?

 

[bahnfire]

That pic was from back when Susan was last on. It was filled that day. Growlers don't seem to last too long in my fridge.

 

[user 307594]

I've missed a bunch of CDs, but I'm pretty confident claiming that CD5 > CDx.

 

[raqnroll]

Looks like CD10 will be a 750ml. I think CD4 was the last 750

"Still many months away"... FOFA maybe?

As insane as this sounds, Frank found a 750ml of Nelson single hop in the back of his fridge this past January while Adam Jackson, ilovestouts, myself, and others were over for a tasting. It was honestly still pretty good. 6 months old. Completely carbed. No oxidation. It tasted like most bottled West Coast IPAs to be honest, and better than a lot of them.

EDIT: That being said, don't intentionally try this experiment at home kids

 

[Respirologist]

Thanks for the info. I obviously know they stamp them for 1 week out. But I've had a couple 2 weeks out. Just wanted to know what is pushing the envelope for carbonation

Trying to think of a scenario of how I might lose a 750ml growler in the back of my fridge, especially of something like Nelson single hop.

Frank has a lot of good beer. And cheese.
