Was anyone able to snag a bottle of DareDevils Got Game (the Hoppin' Frog/CCB collab stout) ? - http://www.ohio.com/blogs/the-beer-...igar-city-release-collaboration-beer-1.690495

I am sure london1o1 has some vintage Mad Elf sitting around for ya. I know we cracked a bottle to compare to a fresh one last time it came out.

Don't actually seek it out--just find the verticals interesting for their novelty. Even mediocre beer is fun to explore year-to-year, side-by-side.

Like when you think back on bad decisions you've made, and you wish you could go back in time to fight yourself to prevent the bad decision. And, as you age, how you're forced to reconcile that you are daily becoming a weaker version of yourself, and that a past version could come forward in time and probably kick your ass. Sigh. Think I peaked at 33.

The first sucker....err I mean customer has stopped in at the new East End location -

 

[MooseLang]

It's a nice looking space though, I will certainly give them that. The Hop-shaped lighting is pretty badass.

 

[barflybastard]

Doors are nice and modern too. So, there's that.

 

[preluderl]

It's a nice looking space. I park down in the strip for work so I might walk by and check them out when I leave today. Probably not, but maybe.

And I realize that sounded overly snarky today EE, that wasn't my intent. Has more to do with the fact that they're past my parking spot and I'm fat and lazy. I'm sure I'll duck in and check it out at some point though.

Actually, how's Green Giant? it's all citra, so it sounds like it might be up my alley. Thoughts from anyone who has had it? I saw over on the other place that you reviewed it a long time ago PSUMike

It's the best non-aged Grat beer I've had from EE by far.

#ISOFT Anyone have any non-local hops they would be looking to IP trade? I accidentally stumbled into a Tired Hands can release on Wednesday, and am looking for some more variety for a wedding reception next weekend. Have some singles of recently released Hoo-farted cans available too.

Lots of crystal per East End's modus operandi when it comes to hoppy beers. Certainly not bad but too sweet.

Only once and seems like so long ago; recall liking not loving it (but malty if I remember)--better than Big and Bigger Hop. Probably the only hoppy offering standing for them in a room full of slouches.

 

[preluderl]

Appreciate the insights on Green Giant, fellas.

 

[Dogleg1]

I thought Green Giant was pretty solid.

 

[brother rebus]

I actually just had some saison by east end, premier or something. It was tasty. Full bldied which was unexpected/nice refresher.

Had a saison from them a long time ago that was decent. I'm just getting sort of bored with clean saisons.

I have a couple of bottles of SARA Lingering Spirits if anyone is up for IP trade as well. Also an extra Temptation from RR.

Any beer happenings going on tomorrow?

I'll probably drink some beer at home at some point.

Solid not Great. It Fell slightly below expectations in my opinion.

 

[preluderl]

I decided to skip EE for now. I've got way too much beer at home as it is.

I have way to many problems at home and I would still choose that over east end

What were your expectations?!?

 

[nhindian1]

What were your expectations?!?

I was expecting Crystal 20, I got Crystal 120.

 

[pghbob]

What were your expectations?!?

Expectation: EEs best hop offering. I liked it better than Big Hop not sure about Bigger Hop. Everyone is different. It was a forgetable beer for me.

 

[nhindian1]

Who's ready for some pumpkin beer?!

 

[preluderl]

Bleh. Still trying to get rid of an ill advised Pumking purchase from last year.

Anyone know of any good trivia on wednesdays?

Come to Voodoo trivia! It's really late on Wednesday though - 7:30pm Thursday.

Finally landed a MBP guys....

Took an entire 2011 Mad Elf six pack to get it done.....apparently the guy loves cherries.

He threw in a Balaton as an extra and I threw in a couple Prima Pils cans....

Safe to say both parties are tickled PINK.
