The root of the problem is that it's not even that good of an idea for a costume.

Pretty obscure in my heartfelt opinion. How obscure is too obscure? God knows.

I dressed up as Mark Twain one year in college, kept telling people "you might know me as Samuel Longhorn Clemens" but nobody got it, I got sick of reciting lines from The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County and ended up just telling people i was Albert Einstein. Chalked it up as the worst Halloween ever and E=MCsquared that ****. Lesson learned, no thanks to God.

My stupid, too obscure costume (also in college) was dressing up as Jim Carey in The Cable Guy, but specifically the scene where he beats Owen Wilson in a bathroom. Really stupid, yet required zero minstrel show shoe polish.

Didn't hear much after the initial announcements, but anyone get that Beyond Infinity?

TB decided not to give me notifications on this thread for like 3 days, so that's neat.

Anywho, I did but I haven't opened one yet. Like 95% of the time their canned beers are really green to me when first canned so I always wait a few days before I open one. May do it tonight though.

IBC had a sixtel of it yesterday, it was tasty. I still like Better 1 or 2 the best out of their IIPA.

Lemme fill you in on what you missed fam, Roundabout quietly dropped hot fire this weekend and Larryville is still quaking, the guy that owns D's punted on 1st and 10, and me and TempDownAtKZUG don't Halloween good.

B1o2 has been my favorite so far as well, probably by a wide margin.

b1or2 was the one that i liked the least of all the iipa's i've had in cans from dg. spy dolphin and infinite highway were my favorites. i've always been thoroughly convinced that all these newfangled neipa's come down to personal preference way more than other beer styles.

Based on the hops used, I thought I was going to love Infinite Highway and I ended up finding it kind of disappointing.

Absolutely. Infinite Highway veered too far off the citrus path into the garlic patch for me, but it was still an outstanding IIPA.

Glad you said that, because I always think I'm crazy with this... But I constantly notice garlic/green onion notes in DG beers.

 

[dadavat]

i don't think i'm that sensitive to the garlic/green onion. i've gotten it from focal banger real bad before but can't remember too many other times i've experience it.

I don't recall ever noticing it from any IPA from anywhere other than DG.

Gubna was the beer that made me not enjoy Summit hops. Pure onion.

i think its common from summit hops. i've heard people say it about founders all day (but i've never experienced that).

I've not had All Day. I need to try one now, for science.

Green Flash Imperial IPA. It's like a glass of pureed spring onions & black garlic. In a good way.

 

[OneDropSoup]

Eureka can throw dem chive notes, too. I've heard people say it about Columbus, too, but there are maaany beers that use Columbus & don't taste like allium (a word I just learned!).

So bummed that's being discontinued.

[Pierre Pressure]

I've noticed garlic/onion most in Mosaic and Citra beers and from many breweries beyond just DG; Trillium in particular has had a couple batches that were just too much for me. It was discussed a bit on a Beervana blog/podcast a while back (http://beervana.blogspot.com/2017/02/understanding-hop-aromas-and-flavors.html), essentially the compound that is producing the tropical and citrus notes also can produce garlic and onion notes.

This is what happens when you only buy beer at not stores

It is? Where'd you read that?

I'm not a beer-food pairing guy per se, but the absolute best pairing I've ever had was a black garlic English bitter at the dogfish brewpub with some fish and chips

Levi said on Jaron's podcast before he exited. I literally said "Aw man! C'mon!" alone in my car when I heard that.

BA Regular and Expresso Stone RIS at Save-More. Pretty cool to stumble across them.

 

[McMatt7]

I'm no hazy ipa assfishanado but the Bane of Existence i had last night at HH was just about as bright and clean and juicy and smooth as any local ipa i've had around this bitch. Conversion was a different kind of dope but no less dope, perhaps even more dope depending on the scale of dopeness used.

Hat's off to jagoffbrewer, good suds

 

[preluderl]

Finally tried Beyond Infinity last night. I think I can safely say it was my second favorite DG can after B1o2, but it needed a little time to open up.

Sending that doosh kbuzz a couple of cans to get his opinion, as he is beyond reproach.
