Found a place in town that still has KBS at $8 a bottle if anyone is still looking. Also saw a BA Narwal for $25

I saw KBS as well today. Same place or did more shipments make it to distro? FWIW, my place was Gateway Grill.

Anyone know if Voodoo Homestead still has Vandelay on? Their only FB post today is the one about the barrel collection stuff being on.

It's on. Both BRC's should last for a bit too. Fair amount of people here but most are drinking Beach Gear.

Haha, yup that is where I saw it. Prices didn't seem so bad there.

Finally had Nimble Giant today. Very good beer. I wish it was 8% though. Seems petty, but I think the ABV holds it back a bit.

A tad less ABV and a tad juicier and it's almost on par with Todd the Axeman.

Every time I log on and I have like 10 notifications I know the Like bandit has struck again.

 

[brother rebus]

Anyone know if those summer movie series have beer vendors there?
Vaguely remember roundabout being mentioned.

What'd you have? What were the highlights?

They were only pouring 2 beers. The Pale ale/Lustra and an IPA/Jam. Jam will be an IPA with rotating hops this time it was Australian Vic Secret. Lustra was soft, had a really creamy body, strong hop character that tasted much like a blend of fruit juice( think Tired hands Hop Hands but with citra). Jam was a bit higher in abv than Lustra was. I want to say it was 6.8% or so, def under 7. Maybe slightly less body than Lustra but the hop character was outstanding and really well defined. I can't really pick a favorite but Jam stood out to me due to the Vic Secret used this time. These were essentially large homebrew batches and I'd say they were better than most Pales/IPA's I've had commercially. Easily on par with Brew Gentlemen/Tired Hands/Trillium etc. The recipes may take a bit when scaling them up to the large system but once he dials them in these beers are going to make a lot of people happy.

Good god I love Vandelay Industries. My favorite IPA anywhere.

 

[shuggy1]

I've got plenty of KBS. $21 4/pk for anybody that would prefer to not be gouged on price.

This is exactly how I see it. For reference, I think Todd is the best IPA on the planet (that I've had). NG is slightly boozy and I'm not sensitive to alcohol heat at all. So if I taste it, everyone will.

Yeah, I used Todd as a comparison because NG reminds me of it. Similar color, similar hop character, similar bitterness. I love Todd, too.

Pretty sure he has the one of the largest vocal ranges of any modern musician ever studied. Oddly enough, Axl is also up there.

Captain beefheart ftw

Here's the bottle and pour, by the way.

Sorry I got to this late - just catching up now. But I think I found the problem: you're drinking that 3f beer out of a looon glass.

I just heard from a reliable source that wild elf is horrendous and to buy with caution

I was passing anyway with the so called high price point.

$12 for a 375 ml at the brewery

That's not a bad price...having not tasted it, of course.

Seems a little steep for a beer aged in a giant foeder but I guess given the prices of everything else nowadays it's not outrageous

somehow not surprised

 

[AnotherPint4Ole]

Anyone know if those BR beers are still kickin at Voodoo Homestead?

 

[barflybastard]

They usually update their FB and it hasn't changed yet.

 

[AnotherPint4Ole]

I know some people mentioned their BCBS (and Prop) were getting funky. Looks like GI has a better strategy for this refund than the previous one which was just "trust".

Just checked my bottles and it looks like I'm in the all clear. Anyone know if there's a pattern with either of the 2 stamped abv levels?

 

[bren4220]

Damn, looks like I have an infected bottle and of course no proof of purchase

No I think you're ok. The neck label + the picture of the back of the bottle label count as PoP if I'm reading it right.

Just to make the info as available as possible, the last day for refunds is Sept. 15th.

Shoot thanks I honestly didn't read it, just checked for the bottling dates.
