Random Beer Thoughts

[Der Fuchs]

Likewise, pleasure meeting you! Best thing about that share was all the new and old ticks, and I don't mean the beers. Great crowd there and super-generous. Really almost too generous, the reason I got so trashed is there was constantly someone new offering me a pour of a bottle so I was practically chugging to keep up.

What about the other 30 times you died? So far you are the official poster boy for over consumption at beer events.






















Keep up the good work!

Add in Habanero Sculpin and Thai Chili Lime Ginger Wahoo Wheat (which hasn't been bottled yet, but I'd love it if it were), along with Indra Kunindra I suppose.

At least they (generally) do a good job of it.

Yeah, they should do a special beer just for charity. Make it super Rare.

But for it to be a super-rare charity-worthy beer it has to be barrel-aged, and I've heard (no experience with them myself) that BP's barrel-aging program ******* sucks (or at least used to). That discussion may be somewhere earlier in this thread actually.

Any SD peeps want to chime in if they've gotten better?

When the **** did Michigan become shitlord HQ? This site has been filled with the dregs of Michigan beer society today. SMH.

When I taught Jean Schramm the word "shitlord." So, sometime Saturday.






J/K. Sometime around Dragontrax.

I figured it was a sarcastic joke. My post was half-joking as well, just tingled a memory about that discussion of Ballast Point's barrel-aging and was curious if anything had changed.

Joking aside, I honestly can't remember the last time I had something BA from Ballast Point. The only one I can remotely remember was BA Victory at Sea, and I don't remember what I thought of it when I had it.

A few years ago, as a result of a mass banning over at BeerAdvocate, a new forum-only website called BeerTrading.org started up. They changed it to TalkBeer.com, likely to accurately portray what the site is about. You will notice the discussion board software is identical to BeerAdvocate forums. The community as it stands is made up of veteran beer traders and beer drinkers, dealing with higher stake trading, and talk of the most cutting edge, sought after beers in the world. I pop my head in there, and even have friends from there that I’ve met in person. There is a lot of heavy-handed critique, insider talk and inside jokes, so if you aren’t ready for that, you might be scared off. The rules are very laxed, unlike BeerAdvocate, as many comments are met with a funny animated gif or meme.



Bottom line: This is the deep end of the pool as far as beer communities go. I like the board, but you have to know what you are getting into and it’s not for everyone.

I like the deep end of the pool.
It's where the adults are gathered while the kids splash around on the steps screaming because they got wet.

He really could have saved a few keystrokes and said "if you have no sense of humor and/or lack of thick skin, stay away"

The pool is ******, douches all over. But TB calls out, not embraces them.

Apart from me, I am that outlier.

A whole bunch of Rye and Cognac Abyss just showed up here and I'm likely the only person within a 100 mile radius who would buy it. Worth it to drink or trade?

Put a bottle of the cognac in the box with the rhum samples for me.

It's too damn expensive. But the rye was really good.

I think talkbeer is like a small, higher quality pool with a deep end filled with drunk yet wise adults who will kick the kids out of the pool as soon and they jump in and start pissing all over the damn place



Amirite?

 

[jivex5k1]

Man am I glad we started getting Death by Coconut around here. Not only is it cheaper than Last Snow, it's better.

The first batches of Last Snow were revelatory.

 

[Gonzoillini1]

Had a bottle of the Angry Chair German Chocolate Cake beer last night that was reminiscent of the first batches of Last Snow, was really impressive.
