Imagine trying to explain to a hazeboi that Avery Maharaja was hot **** back in the day.

Heads would ****ing assplode.

Fresh Maharaja is still great. Had a pour at the brewery a few weeks ago.

Noice.

Great barleywine. I have a friend that has roughly a 10 year vertical.

These 2 from Ohio got me all hot and bothered 10 years ago. Many of my first beer trades were for 6 packs of these.

I still buy at least a sixer of head hunter a month. Being able to easily pull 1-3 week old head hunter off the shelf in six packs is not something I will take for granted.

Straight hop juice.

Still bangs! I've gotten some the last few years and it should be out soon this year (if not already been a minute since I've visited the taproom)

Going WAY old school with these:




Always had a weakness for this one, as well:

Still great when fresh.

Someone mentioned Hop Wallop earlier in the thread. Samesies.

I forgot there were so many hop puns 5-10 years ago,

And you forgot because there are less now?

Maybe it's just around here but the hop puns have died down a lot.

Did they get hit by a bus?

No that was tosh, follow along.

Brewers used up all of the hop puns between 2006 and 2016, which is why almost every IPA name is now stolen from old hip hop lyrics, memes or trademarked consumer brand logos.

"We interpret our use of Post Fruity Pebbles™ typeface and box styling as satire and thus falls under fair use, but srs don't be a narc and tell them. A narc is the least cool think you can be."

tired: hop puns

wired: juice/haze puns

Those earlier Bitter Monk versions were ****ing ace.

Preach!

I bought this, plus Alpine Nelson and Duet from Wally's Wine in 2010. One purchase. Nine years and several moves later I'm still getting their ****ing mailer.

LOL used to be my local. They closed the main store last year (RIP) and now are focused on their restaurant/winebar/limited retail concept (though it seems like they are still doing a good deal of retail business online).

Speaking of dirt cheap bombers from the Golden Age of craft beer...

HotD IPAs are such trash these days. It's a damn shame.

Are Boneyard and Barley Brown's still cranking out West Coast IPAs at the same quality as several years ago?

 

[ABSTRACTlegend]

Speaking of IPA sub-genres that have been wiped off the goddamn earth...

Good to hear. Those have historically been my favorite hop-centric breweries. One of the best things about visiting Oregon is Hop Venom on tap basically everywhere. Would drink that and Pallet Jack all the time if they were regularly available to me.
