How was M&C8 at RateBeer fest? Aaron GoM Everett etc blend... sounds pretty hnng

Enjoyed the couple of 2oz. pours I had but palate fatigue, no adjuncts, etc.. Didn't think twice about maxing out.

 

[brentsdodgers]

It was pretty good, but honestly I enjoyed GoM more. Perfect amount of coffee.

This^. M&C 8 was absolutely delicious as well though. So smooth. I would love to try Aaron by itself now though.

Fighting the good fight against that awful use of the English language

There are far greater atrocities in the English language. I, personally, find the use of the word suitable for the situation, given how concise it makes an otherwise lengthy and potentially wordy question.

When someone asks, "How is (insert name of beer) drinking?", they are really asking two questions: 1) How is the beer holding up in comparison to when it was initially released? 2) How would you rate the current beer experience?

In your previous statements, you equated the term "drinking" to "tasting", which only partially describes the overall experience. It neglects to address other contributing factors, such as the appearance of the beer, the aroma, and the mouthfeel.

I'm in this camp as well. "Drinking" connotes a few things over and above "tasting" in this context.

So, all of this can be condensed down to, "X beer is drinking _______ly." But my conversion to tasting is not compatible/complete?


Actually, nevermind. I just think it sounds terrible. The beer still isn't drinking anything.

6pp? That's a pretty large allocation by HF standards for special releases. (excluding CW allotments)

 

[MikeG1]

Since 6pp is essentially no limit (by the Twilight transitive property), I'm assuming someone on here will pick a few up for me.

 

[andrewdrinks]

I am incredibly excited

 

[NAD1983]

Yes! The first time I can sarcastically say... will it last until Friday?

 

[user 312341]

Of course that's being released Wednesday, because I was there today.

Very happy to say I (finally!!) got CD 10 and 11. 11 > 10 but both were just lovely. Those plus no line for bottles/some oysters/randomly running into friends = day made

Thanks AutumnBeerLove for my growlers! Hooray, we've "officially" met haha

 

[Knine]

I'm too distracted by the words "Double George". Who can filter out the BA Double George component from their bottles and send it to me?

 

[regularjohn]

2015 bottle...very good

 

[Gonzowestwood]

How is CD11 holding up?

 

[Iliketurtles]

I'll play

11 > 17 > 15 > 10 > 16 > 6 > 14 > 12 > 8 > 9 > 1 > 4 > 2. Missing 3, 5, and 13.

11 > 17 > 15 > 10 > 14 > 16 > 6 > 13 > 12 > 8 > 9 > 1 > 4 > 2 - Got to try 13 last week. I also had another bottle of CD14 that was much better than I remembered, so it got bumped up. 13 was great, but I did not think it was mind blowing.

duceswild, oline73, someone else not on TB, and I shared 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, juicy, 1/28/16 leaves of grass, genealogy akmel nuri, DBD, and art plum over two days. Did the DBD and genealogy twice because they were so good.

Had such a great time. We just got lucky because we planned this trip several months ago.

Thanks to duces for being my chauffeur all weekend.

Roughly how much are the CD beers for onsite? Thinking of coming up to drink tomorrow and am trying to plan accordingly.

Not sure if you went or not, but below were the costs...

 

[tylerk88]

I didn't, but hope to this week. Thanks for this!

Hope all of you locals are safe in the NEK.... Careful on that black ice/maple syrup.

 

[andrewdrinks]

Is anyone planning to be up at HF tomorrow and fancies sharing some bottles? There's a lot of things from that on-site list I'd like to try, and I'm just one man

I hear they're doing a Grade A job on cleanup.






...Where is that bad pun thread?
I'll see myself out.

Sounds like it was a sticky situation

 

[MKtheGeneral]

AutumnBeerLove I'm sorry to be that guy but early thoughts on the likelihood of Flora and MC8 lasting until Saturday morning?

Flora might be iffy for Saturday, but there's a chance!

A highway maple syrup spill is nearly the most Vermont news ever.

I hope the majority of the CD lineup that was onsite last week is there this week. Damn!
