Am I being a ******* if I say I have no idea what this means?

Ahhh, I had a sheltered childhood, Simpsons was not a part of it

I think Kveik fermented beers are going to take off. That stuff is so easy to use and produces fast and (some of them) incredibly clean. Easy ipa for days.

Somebody in Jersey is using Kviek for a couple of their IPAs. I can't remember who it was. Maybe Icarus. They seem to mess around a bit more instead of just London III for everything.

Anyone had the Hop Concept IPA’s? Assume they are pretty good based on pedigree, but haven’t tried them

Haven’t drank them in a while, but had the first few of the lineup...found them malty and not very aromatic. Hard pass.

Matchless out of Tumwater, WA has Voss IPA which is made with Kviek. It's one of my favorite beers from them.

I’m sure this has been covered before, but breweries using slushy machines with their beers. **** that ****

**** that ****. Beer slushies are delicious.

While I'd have to think about this statement longer for breweries, I'm 100% on board with the slushy machine thing for meads and ciders.

Tell me that **** doesn't look delicious on a warm / humid day?

I had a slushie with tequila, lime, and Stiegl Radler the other day. It was ******* amazing.

I mean, most of this stuff is past the point of actually being beer anyway, right?

example:

Omnipollo Shploing!!....$15.99 / 4pk
also sold as singlesShploing!! is our first ever beer to go into cans and we wanted to make something extra special for the occasion. A mango s’mores IPA brewed with mango, vanilla, marshmallow fluff, graham crackers, rock salt, lactose sugar and an abundance of our favorite hops

An Iceberg (Rainier with a frozen margarita float) from Bunk Bar is one of my favorite summer time drinks.

Yeah, would definitely smash some slushies if our weather was hotter.

Shploing really tastes like none of that though, it tastes like nothing more than a mediocre NEIPA. Maybe with some mezcal, worm salt, and orange juice it would make a tasty slushy. I might try it out actually, brb.

Then why bother adding all that ****?

Yes!! This is at the new food cart outside of Prost that sells cocktails. I actually got mine as an iceberg with Pacifico. They have Blind Pig and Pliny pretty regularly, too.

Mead slushees are delicious though and are highly encouraged.

 

[reverseapachemaster1]

I'm less annoyed by putting beer in a slushy machine than I am about those slushy sours.

 

[agrippin]

I don't even get what is "slush" about them. When they go through the slushy machine, I get it.

How much are they charging for BP and Pliny? I thought we had moved past those beers being crazy expensive up here, but I went to Horse Brass the other day, and they were charging $9.25 for a pint of Pliny.

Have you had any of the ones from Melovino?

Whoa! It’s $7 for 16 oz and $6 for Blind Pig, I think.

Pretty sure that's what Belmont charges when they have them on tap. No clue why Apex and Horse Brass still seem to have 2003 pricing on Pliny.

I have not yet been to Melovino but now that I know that they have slushees...

I had my first and only mead slushee earlier this summer at Charm City in Baltimore. It was definitely the best thing I drank while there, though I enjoyed most of their session meads I tried.

They don't always have them but have done a margarita, piña colada, and pineapple/ghost pepper.
