Random Beer Thoughts

I have been ignoring it on shelves for the last few weeks, no idea why it is right in my wheelhouse. I need to pick up some of this Gose gone Wild next shopping trip.

probably late on this but has anyone tried this yet?

So far only seen it at the SN Tap Room in Berkeley, not sure it is fully hit distribution. I passed on a 6-pack as I would rather try a couple of bottles first to see how it is.

Guy I drink with every so often keeps referring to Tilquin Quetsche/Prunes as "The Tilquin prunes & plum variant" and every time I want to pop him in the face. Sure, I need to lighten up but ugh shut the **** up.

For some reason I have high hopes for this. Sierra beer can be iffy when they stray from their wheelhouse but given the fact they took years testing batches for this and whatnot I hope it will be good. That and prickly pear. I love some prickly pear.

I hope it's better than Sam Adam's attempt at a gose. I remember not liking that one.

Wouldn't getting a six pack be the best way to try a couple bottles?

Don't try to bring logic into this mister.

I have pretty good hopes too. I generally trust that even when they do something I don't like, it's still pretty good anyway.

Examples? I can't think of a beer they've sent out into distribution that fits into your description.

Yep, couple locals posted in the inane, insuffurable FB groups that it's out but of course no one has tried it yet as they "going to lay it down for a while."

What? Drink that **** you ******* clowns! I am going to go grab a couple tonight, will report back. It was seriously one of the best beer I drank in 2014.

These people deserve to be ridiculed and/or punched in the dick.

Too many beer geeks think every beer they are buying is wine.

Saying "lay it down" about beer needs to stop. Maybe after you "lay it down" for a while it will be "drinking beautifully."

Of course, this is only true of gems.

Have to "lay down" the bottles you "scored" before you "crack" them.

I liked this post, yet hated everything about it.

SN can still do small batch stuff well, **** this is good.

Rather grab 2 singles personally.

Tried it tonight. It was really nice. But, everything was very subtle

I'm just not a fan of most of their non hoppy beers. Everything is so dry.

I heard from someone whose opinion I respect heavily that it is very good.

I intend to try it as I pass through Mills River, NC.

I thought most of the beers in the Beer Camp Tour pack or whatever it was (all the collabs leading up to the opening of their NC facility) were pretty mediocre - a few were good and a few outright bad - and there were a lot of dumb style choices in it.

Y u no liek Narwhal?

Narwhal is a good beer but I almost never buy it because it's right next to Expedition Stout on the shelves here.

Narwhal is good but every time i drink it, i feel like i'm gonna get the diabetus

Same here but with fbs/fis.

I miss bells.

FIS is my 2nd favorite in the straight imperial stout style. I'm very particular about which I buy as I find I'm very sensitive to metallic off flavors and pick them up in a lot of mediocre stouts.

I was going to trade with a guy on the other site. When I mentioned I had some Cantillon I would move, he replied "Which Cants do you have?"

Upon reading this, I called off the trade, and have not responded to any PMs from him since.

You should've replied with "The kind you Cant have anymore"

He should have stopped with you before it even got to that point for saying "I had some Cantillon I would move"
