"I should have went there after ram"

Chicago Beer, 2016.

Insanity... How much IPA does one person need, especially at $20/4 pack? It seriously is like pokemon for some people - just crazy.

 

[SecretSquirrel]

love how I see people in Mi on various FB groups wondering why MI isn't getting any lmao

"I should have went there after ram"

Chicago Beer, 2016.

I overheard someone in line at Beer Temple say that they had just come back from the RAM release....Gotta tick all those hazy IPAs, brah!

This.

****, it's just a turbid hop bomb.

It's not like it has vanilla in or something...

There was a LINE at BT?

What in the ever-living ****? Clearly, I don't understand it. I'm glad I don't. It's probably a good beer, but I'm not waiting in line for an IPA. Or really any other beer for that matter. Here come the FT posts!

I assume he means line of 5 people waiting to pay inside the store. At least that's how it was around 11:30.

Correct. There were 6 or 7 people ahead of me. The store was packed though. And the phone was ringing off the hook with people asking the same stupid question.

I retract some of my previous statement. Carry on...

I had the first batch of cans fresh, day of. I preferred the weeks old Cromulent I picked up the same day.

"Do you still have Bourbon County Rare?"

I haven't had Juice is Loose and at this rate, probably never will. I've had Crunchy Groove, Cromulent, and the all Michigan bretted pale (can't remember the name) and they were all quite good. I liked Crunchy Groove the best and whenever I hit up the tap room I'll certainly pick up whatever is sitting in cans.

I know NE has it on lock down, but I have never understood waiting in line for IPA cans. I am not the target demographic though, so keep doing what you're doing, Chicago... I'll be over here sipping on some fresh ass Fist City or Lizard King.

The Brett one didn't do it for me, maybe my palate is broke but I got an off putting aftertaste, reminiscent of styrofoam. Honeystone and Crunchy Grooves were quite good.

All their hop forward beers are distinct unto themselves which I think is a testament to brewing skill. A lot of brewerys have several different hop forward beers that are only subtlety different at best.

Asking if "The juice was Looooooose"

I liked the brett can better than Cromulent (sample size 1 of each, thanks to nsh221).

If you're working Th next week and want to come by Corner Bakery again, I can give you 1 Juice and 1 of the Ram beers from today (coworker got me some).

A girl on Facebook last night said "Start with who supported you first - Michigan!". Simply being informative, I let her know that the brewery was launched out of Chicago over 3 years ago and she then deleted said comment.

I was actually going to message you about meeting up next week. I have some things for you as well!

We can work out the details next week, but that would be just fine - and thank you for the offer! Very generous of you (again) to share the wealth!

Not to mention there's always a ton of stuff sitting in the taproom. If I lived closer, I'd go weekly.

 

[kodt]

Cromulent is much better than The Juice is Loose IMO. Picked up both when they first released in Michigan, no lines, no fuss.

Juice is nice but comes off as too sweet IMO. I like hop bitterness.

 

[Jb123]

I loved obligatory....

 

[Transient1]

I'll agree on Cromulent, but my tastes tend toward lower Abv hoppy beers. That said, the first batch of Juice finished a couple points higher than expected so it was sweeter. Next two batches were right on and this one is a point or two lower so it is slightly drier.

 

[tinypyramids1]

i opened a juice today. it was good.

 

[Transient1]

Thank you, David Crosby.

 

[joe1]

Thank you, David Crosby.

Speaking of... please tell me you're related to dickey betts..??

I need an IV of Pineapple Salarium. Dear lord.

Not hating on your brewing skills, I've been trending away from DIPAs across the board

That and maigre cans are two of my absolute favorites!

 

[Transient1]

My dad always told me we were related. His second cousin or something, but that also could have just been a pick up line from his younger days that he was passing on to me. Most girls don't know who that is nowadays...

[user 305963]

the all Michigan bretted pale (can't remember the name)

Weko

That **** was my jam. But I'm a brett whore.

 

[jakeox]

Crunchy Groove was my fave but for some reason oat IPAs make me tingly in all the right ways.

I don't have to understand it to embrace it.
