Random Beer Thoughts

[barflybastard]

The distributor I got mine from this morning got 40 cases. I live in bumfuck central Pennsylvania, and I know at least one other location in this TOWN got cases in addition to that 40.

Anywhere near Hummelstown? My brother lives there and was seeking some, but he's hearing only one or two places, just a few cases and not until next Friday. Works crazy shifts/hours and usually misses anything that limited.

Not particularly (State College), but given how much State College got I would be shocked if Harrisburg didn’t get a lot too....

I know AB is the devil, but this is pretty damn funny.

Local Modist Brewing released a hazebro IPA today called Dilly Dilly and some Bud reps went over there and did this:


Beer is just memes inside of memes and weird **** all the time now.

I should have known.

I'll be in the pit of misery is anyone needs me.

$22 + bottle of CBS when there's Boon Black Label on the shelf for $16. Not a hard decision.

Also my local grocery store put some bottles of Petite Prince on clearance. I got 4 bottles for $4.01 a piece. Sucks to be the rest of the country.

For $4 I would buy it by the pallet. One of my favorite beers ever.

I cleaned them out. I even waited around to talk to a manager to see if there was more.

But what if I like stouts more than sours?

I'm not sure how this is even possible.... but somehow, after 10 years of drinking craft... I still enjoy hyped beers. I know, it's a totally inconceivable notion. My palate must be broken.

You can't really like beer if you like stouts still, that makes you insufferable and intolerable and whatnot.

I had a Bourbon County tonight and holy **** was it good. I wanted it to be terrible. It was not.

This year's is hnnnngh.

Why did you want it to be terrible?

 

[sacrelicio]

Enjoying CBS right now and I wish I could find some more Boon Black Label. Lots of good beer out there.

 

[MooseLang]

So I could get on Beer Advocate and start a ******' thread about it.


I dunno.


I wasn't even going to buy a bottle, but the guy at my local shop held a bottle for me without me asking. I couldn't just not buy one. I wanted it to suck so I never had the urge to worry about buying it ever again.

But man, it was good.

Drinking a 2017 Bourbon Country now. Can confirm it’s good.

Same.

First one of the new batch that I've had. Terrific.

 

[trickytunadicky]

I liked this year's, but I liked the 2012 I opened on Black Friday more. Go figure.

Local store put CBS on the growler station, $29 for 64 ounces. Definitely getting a fill so I can dome it out of a TB SuperIntihar snifter on Christmas.

That should give you the shakes.

Christ your beer prices are better than Philly

CBS update: Still none at Jewel-Osco down the block. It's like a desert out here. Don't know what I'll do.

...You guys liked the '17 BCBS? My wife and were both completely "meh" on it, thoroughly mediocre. Old ones are still on point.

Same. Had it and a 14 together a week or so ago, no comparison.

I loved it. I think it tasted better this time around because I didn’t have to stand in line for it.

Ya not gonna lie, had the 2017 this weekend and didnt think it was up to prior years.

 

[stupac2]

I feel you, but I didn't stand in line for this one or any previous years and, I dunno, this just wasn't very good.

Same. Had it and a 14 together a week or so ago, no comparison.

I've realized that I have entirely too many older bottles and have just been randomly drinking them, comparing this to an aged '12 is very, very unfair. Maybe it'll get there eventually, but I'm certainly not buying more than 3 I have left.

So I ain't know much about what hops taste like what and all that. But sometimes when I have a hazy IPA I get a taste that is almost like the mustard you get at a Chinese food restaurant. Maybe it's not hops and it's the yeast? Anyone else get that? Am I die?

 

[Beer4B]

Drank a '17 BCBCS yesterday and was solid but nothing like I remember older BCBCS. Coffee was a little weak and a tad vegetable/green pepper. BCBS >> BCBCS

I am glad I only ran into one BCBCS but got more regular and barleywine. SAD
