WHERE IS THAT?

WHY ARE WE SHOUTING

 

[More Betterness]

What in the actual ****? Despite already acknowledging that Shaun is the king of concise and balanced beer, I drink this M&C9 fully expecting an adjunct heavy/barrel treatment pastry stout due to the description..












..and am still treated to an integrated and delicious BA stout.

Coming from an area with a certain brewery heralded for its aggressive usage of adjuncts taking center stage, this is incredibly refreshing and impressive. Ya'll are lucky. ******* wonderful end of my birthday beer!

Thanks again for the Sherpa Don !

“So she had a 10 percent sour double bock, and I ordered a barley wine. And I was, like, so surprised. I mean, does anyone still make a barley wine?”

Haha I would have said it as a joke for triggering. The #BIL thing is played out

Last time I really just wanted to go and roll around in the field, but it seemed untoward.

What a coincidence that you're going and lost a beer bet to me. Just saying. Hahaha.

Greatest gif ever.

Lightning bolts may strike me down for saying this but.... Sean needs to see that TB getting healthy thread.
Or at least, "getting clean and untorn clothing to greet the public" thread. Not referring to this gif, but when I was there he was looking a bit more rotund and disheveled than previous. And holy shirts? C'mon man!

So I wanted to post about the arthur share I hosted, after I finally tracked down the bottles. I know the caps are on, but as soon as we started drinking I stopped taking pictures.

Highlights of the night were: Blue Label, Art Plum, CD7, 13 arthur. I was really surprised at how well 13 arthur was holding up and just how different blue label arthur was. It was so bright and citrusy. Art plum was exactly as the name described, and just wonderfull to drink. CD7 (art/cantillon) had a nice funk to it where the lambic was coming out.

11 arthur was definitely over the hill. It had a strong mineral taste, similar to what others talked about with some of the 14s. It opened up after awhile, and got better with some time. I really enjoyed 12 and 13 arthur, and it was strange that they held up so much better. It couldve been storage conditions or bottle variations.

I found of the regular arthur that I enjoyed 15 the most, and that two years a fantastic spot to drink it. That being said, everyone thought the 16 and 17 arthur bottles were great fresh.

I'm sure this is a Captain Obvious statement, but he doesn't strike me as a man who holds vanity in very high regard.

I know this. Whether he does or not, he still looks like a bum from an outsiders perspective.
More obvious statements: it doesn't affect my love of the beer.
Wife statement: I don't care how you dress, but it would be nice if you dressed up a little.

I'm pretty sure the 11 tasted that way because the yeast blend was completely different back then. I remember when I had one that was "stored properly" it was a complete brett bomb, just super dry and ashy (not in a bad way) compared to the more citrusy and tart recent batches. Tasted more like a Belgian saison than American.

I'm sure if he actually gave a **** about this, he'd say sorry for partying.

I really want to believe that the conversation overheard at Hill Farmstead in this piece is fictional, but there are enough incredibly dumb beer geeks out there that it's totally plausible:

Its not a bad, just different. The thing I enjoy about the fresh arthur bottles is the balance. You still get some mineral taste, just in some of the older bottles theres so much more. Its a bit overwhelming.

 

[JBP]

Would you say they were mineraling beautifully?

You're better than this.
