This trope will never stop being funny.

Just trying to join the conversation from earlier but now I see we've moved onto to making fun of trade offers for overhyped beers again. I can't keep up with everyone's sense of humor.

You added a Hedbergian spin that I enjoyed. That paraprosdokian/non-sequitur twist.

Most of the new Speedway variants haven't intrigued me, but this one definitely does.

Coconut is so hot right now.

Just when I thought nothing would top maple or vanilla, coconut is making a run.

Coconut is so 2014.

Death by Coconut to hit distro in 4 packs. Coconut values plummet. If only I would have found that Coco Loko last year, I'd be rolling in lambic now.

Someone could make a killing by figuring out the hot new adjunct 6 months ahead of time.

Nah, just barrel age your beer six months and adjunct it up at the end with whatever is popular.

Well, with this new Speedway Coconut and the two recent Snowed In and Master Blaster bottle releases I dare say coconut took over maple in recent news.

There was another one too, can't remember what it was though.

But what about peanut butter?

But what about peanut butter?

It's always welcome in my house, but if you stay over for the night and my dog's breath smells like peanut butter in the morning we are going to sit down and have a serious talk.

Anyone feel like Founders Harvest was off this year? Didn't have the fresh hop bite I've grown to expect. Yes, I know this is a cliche.

Additionally, wtf is going on with Hair of the Dog and aging beer on stone? Is stone supposed to import flavor to the beer? If so, sedimentary vs. igneus vs. metamorphic is a potential future post.

I thought the bottles I've had have been excellent. Significantly better than last year.

From what I understand, the stone has been imparting quite a bit of suck into otherwise delicious hotd beers.

And carbonation. Maybe the eggs are made from carbonation stones?

I know almost no one gets that and that it isn't funny to the few who do.

Sorry.
























Not sorry.

It caused my chest to puff out almost imperceptibly and my head to move back around 5 degrees. I'd call that a success.

If putting beer in a stone aging vessel gave HotD beer carbonation, I'd be all for it.

Legit question: has there ever been a good black IPA? Or rather, are black IPAs still popular?

A lot of the new breweries around here almost always brew a black/Cascadian/whatever-the-**** IPA as part of their pilot lineup, and I always wonder why.

I thought Stone 15th was pretty good when it was fresh. Leaned a bit stouty though.

Boneyard Armored Fist. It's the only black IPA that I've ever thought was a world class beer, had me rethinking what was possible with the style. Never had anything close since.

Lagunitas Night Time. Only black ipa I've had with good hop character.
