Would someone just throw a cockroach covered dough ball at greg4579's kids already.

Not to be outdone, I have a tale that hits close to home moarhops

Wife is out of town and I am flying solo with the lil man this weekend. Lots on the to do list today, but he wont let up about getting a donut. I am not settling for a Dunkin Donuts poor excuse for one, so once we wrap up the ol to do list I take him to the Pub Chip Shop. As you know I am not exactly close, so we get there around 11:40 and there is one sorry Vindaloo bacon donut left (obviously your most popular amongst 3-yrs olds). The dude working the counter sees his dissapointment and produces two donuts that weren’t quite up to snuff for sale and just gave them to us. Made his day! I was very grateful, but please pass along my praise.

Those Chip Shop guys are great, all kitchen guys that were finally given the chance to talk to customers, like rescue dogs they became these cuddly little fry guys.

I take everything back, I hope they pick the cockroaches off the dough ball before they throw it at you.

I don't know the right way to say this or present it but if any of yall are disgusted and depressed and angry about what happened this weekend or god forbid you lost a loved one or a friend or neighbor and you wanna chat or grab a pint or a sandwich or just sit and freak the **** out or something you can hit me up, pm me or whatever. Hoping my internet fam is ok.

Hot take:
Taco Flavored Kisses was doing really great. I was on the fence about it fresh, and it really mellowed out into a great beer. I cannot say the same for 2014 Caution. It should’ve been drank way sooner.

Had to look to see when I drank my TFK bottle, March of 2016. It was a still p. harsh back then. Guess I should have waited for a while longer.

I had a feeling tfk would get better, even though I didn't mind it fresh. I bet it wouldn't be too hard to track a bottle down. Caution always sounds good on paper, but just has too much vanilla for me.

Never cared for Caution! either, and I always feel like it should be right up my alley.

I love Caution. The 2015 bottle we cracked open was doing great. I always open a fresh bottle on Halloween to drink while I am handing out candy.

Since I happen to own a 2014 Caution bottle, and you dont use untapped anymore, mind sharing your thoughts with a bit more detail? Drainpour? Cloyingly sweet? Infected?

Sure Sam. It was Eric's bottle.

Gushed when opened. Smelled off. Tasted off. Drain poured. Wasn't sour, so I wouldn't use the "I" word. I honestly chalked it up to why on earth are we drinking a 4+ yrs old pumpkin beer.

New Beer Alert!

We are very excite announce the release of The Behemoth (20%abv). The Behemoth is a 2 year aged wild cask beer refermented on Nebbiolo grapes and conditioned on single origin Ethiopian coffee beans.

Learning our terrior has been a wonderful and ongoing experiment of sorts. Two years ago, we decided to see how far we could push our local organisms in fermentation for alcohol tolerance. This beer started out by spending 18 months aging in casks. Then we added a healthy dose of Nebbiolo grapes, including the skins for a tertiary barrel fermentation putting this monster Flanders style ale at 20% abv. Ethiopian Espresso beans were then added to the cask for maturation. Notes of cherry, espresso, moss, dark chocolate and dusty grape skins encapsulate the aromatics. The flavor is of rich red grape, balsamic glaze, stone fruit and slight notes of oak, leather and pipe tobacco. The mouthfeel is reminiscent of ice wine, but slightly drier like a sherry, finishing with a balance of sweet and sour. A truly unique, and experimental, beer only made here in Western Pennsylvania.

The Behemoth is a very small batch beer and will be available on draft (no bottles) at both of our locations this week - starting in Millvale ‪today at 5pm‬. Because this is such a strong beer, there is a limit of 1 5oz pour per visit.

I think everyone ITT is in unison that sour beers just get better with higher ABV.

EDIT: Halleluia!

Whether intended or not, the gif preceding this post suits this beer announcement perfectly in so many ways.

Fresh Caution is the best Caution. I love this year’s batch.

Calm down, guy. You're getting way too excited here.

If by “right up my alley”, you mean “like Draai Laag somehow got ahold of, and bottled, a drainpour collab from brewdog, bruery and dogfish head” then I agree.

Idk why you dont want a coffee grape 20% abv sour.

Because no one does

 

[kbuzz1]

I mean at this point, why don’t they just ******* distill it and sell it for $100/bottle

It warms my heart how much you hate them. I don't know why, but I get so much enjoyment from it.

Pappy lottery is open.

Number of available bottles seems a little higher than normal, no? Or maybe I'm misremembering.

 

[Dogleg1]

Thought so as well.
