I can't figure out if I love or hate the Milk The Funk ugly Christmas/Hannukah sweaters and shirts.

My dad gave me a Sam Adams Christmas sweater as a joke a few years back. Will have to look for it.

I recently had to fill out a survey for my healthcare. One of the inevitable questions was "how many alcoholic beverages do you consumer per day?" My thinking: 12 oz beer = 1 drink, 750 ml = 1 drink.

can someone enlighten me on what the **** TC 82 or 82TC or whatever the **** keeps going around facebook is?

It's best to just not worry about TC82.


Also if beer and anything to do with sperm count I wouldn't have had two daughters born in the past 2 years.

Cable Car Kriek is one of the rare American Fruited Sours I've ever had that has lived up to expectations, and the bottle I tried seems like an outlier among other bottles (Didn't gush, barley a sound when the cork was removed, but still good carbonation). Fruity and jammy with a mild acidic character, great funk and a well rounded barrel character. Only Cable Car 2009 gives it a run for it's money as best I've had (although the 2014 we tried later was pretty damn good at the moment as well).

I haven't had any of those but agree with you.

This is a brewery with a lineup that consists of a "blonde barleywine," "Central Coast quad," and "brownywine." One of their beers is literally named after a dick wig. They're not exactly the best at names.

Merkins are for women, not men. How would a dick wig even work?

Bro, do you even Haight Ashbury?

Alpine* Pure Hoppiness in 12oz bottles is excellent.

Parabajava was surprisingly disappointing on tap when I had it.

Such a solid, tried and true lineup of beer drinking for the Marquette game & WWE Raw last night.

Celebration Ale
Rogue Chocolate Stout
Pure Hoppiness
SNPA

 

[MooseLang]

I'll go ahead and post the inevitable "How does it compare to Pure Hoppiness brewed at Alpine?" question....


Because Nelson and Duet ain't the same.

"Alpine* Pure Hoppiness in 12oz bottles is excellent."

I found Alpine* Pure Hoppiness indistinguishable from Alpine Pure Hoppiness.

Therefore, it was excellent.

Wait, is that sixer $4.29?

$4.29 per bottle
$19.99/6 pack

Bombers were $10.

That makes a lot more sense.

I had absolutely nothing to do with this.

And I know I said it a few times on Saturday but CCK was better on Saturday than it was on tap 2 1/2 years ago at T25.

Anyone know if DirtWolf is still relatively fresh? It's 8.49 a 4-pack here which is a good deal, but I can't find anything on the bottles, packs, or case boxes indicating the date. And both the stores and distributors here are dumb enough that they could seriously be from last year.

 

[user 305778]

It's a year round beer, isn't it?

 

[kzeon]

Amen.

Can we pin this somewhere?

 

[playaplaya]

Dirt Wolf is year round yes. Best by is printed ON the label. Unless they cut off part of the label with a razor blade?

It's a 5 month best by date . It is one of very few hoppy beers that tastes almost equally good after 3 months, I've never gone past about 3 1/2'months though...
One of my favorite beers for certain .

Pure Hoppiness is 15.99 here. It's good, not amazing , hop slam is better .

Remember how good / affordable Odonata Saison was for a short period of time? I had Irishgurl back on BA send that out by the 12 bottle shipper full at least 3 times while she our Bruery trustee, and at something like $3.99 a 750 it was an amazing steal.

I always wonder if the affordability of that beer is what did them in...

She had a nice rack.
