Random Beer Thoughts

[danbanana]

Would be a good substitute for Italian dressing in a pinch.

I recently made a raspberry shrub that I blended with an undrinkable bottle of '12 Red Poppy. It was pretty ******* great (the shrub).

Currently, what is the oldest beer in your house?

Facebook reminded me that 10 years ago today I bought a case of Guinness' 250th Anniversary Stout. I actually still have one bottle around for I guess novelties sake.

But I believe the oldest beer I have in the house is a 2007 Dogfish Head Olde School Barleywine.

1994 Triple Bock. Last bottle. I wish I had more.

A buddy opened one of these last year and it was the one of the most oxydized beers

Is that the new beer offering from the Sackler family?

I think I have a 2011 120 minute. Actually I have 2011-2018 120 minute. I have no idea why.

Only 8 more hours needed and you'll have a full day.

The 2011 through 2015 or so probably tastes ******* awesome. That beer ages like a champ.

My 2011s have been in decline lately. I bought a bunch of them with the idea of opening one a year for 20 years. I'm actually opening this year's beer tomorrow.

Oldest beers in the cellar are 78 Hardy’s, couple of 90s Hardy’s, 00 Samichlaus, then some early aughts Lambics and Lees.

Also making a hard left turn, this is real

All of my favorite adjuncts are present! Fun dip, durian, cigarette ash.

Wasabi, peanut butter and habanero is what they landed on. Lucky Hop Jam attendees.

My buddy got rid of a bunch of garbage beer by leaving it on the sidewalk in Oakland. I'm sure it found a good home.

Is this a joke about that estate sale I went to?? /s

Why don't they just hit "performers choice" every time?

I'm pretty sure they have this at Omnipollo but the ingredients on the dart board come from a full season of 'Chopped'.

No need to spin the wheel. Every basket is a new Omnipollo beer.

I don't know how that corrected to "performers" instead of "brewers". ****.

With Instagram these days, the difference is shrinking daily.

It’s just a dart board. And the guy throwing sucks at darts.

So we did this today. 2011 vs 2018.

Right off the bat the color is totally different. Fresh one has a drier finish, crisp carbonation, stonefruit/citrus hop character. Blind I would have thought this was around 10%, super drinkable for 17% and not too sweet, I liked it a lot.

The other one smelled wildly different, flavor was straight up raisins, prune, vanilla, honey, caramel. Definitely a bit oxidized but not papery, it melded really well with the other characteristics. Very reminiscent of a port wine. Still has some bitterness but no distinguishable hop character.

Overall a fun comparison, I think the 2011 is past its prime but it's still doing well (better than I remember last year's). Thanks for tuning in, I'll be back with another 120 Minute review next year.

Philly has a Harry Potter festival every year and they have had no issues.

how have I just found out about this? I could have been distributing my slashfic to the drunken masses!

Well I lied...I guess there were eventually some issues.

Wizardry and wonder fill the air each October when Chestnut Hill transforms for Witches and Wizards Weekend.

Formerly the Harry Potter Festival, the Witches and Wizards festival weekend takes over the charming neighborhood for spellbinding events that morph the village into an enchanting magic-filled haunt.

I think that's the same people.... if you actually go to their Facebook page it's called the 'Witches and Wizards Festival'.

What really bored me is that they say that they'll have "OVER 20 MAGICAL ALES" and they're selling themselves (at least locally here) more as a beer festival than anything else.

Bitch there's bars around here that are free to get into that have over 200 MAGICAL ALES.
