I bought all the beer for my wedding from there shortly after they opened. My sister went to high school with one of the owners I think. Glad to see it is still doing well!

The first batches of Last Snow were revelatory.

Most recent batch was laughably bad.

 

[Podunkparte]

Good God, this is delicious!

SeaWatchman I haven't yet leaned moar at http://www.lambic.info/Home but I will! As God as my witness, I WILL!!!

Yep, artificial taste all day.
A new batch comes out on the 15th this month, wonder if they will get it right this time.

I think a lot of people are like this but it's credit instead of cash. There is no way in hell everyone can afford the ridiculous costs (secondary market prices, trading/shipping, etc) associated with this "hobby".

lel if you're using credit for a hobby you're doing it so, so wrong

Totally agree. Fear of missing out is causing tons of people to buy beer now and figure it all out later.

Perceived scarcity makes neckbeards do some stupid things.

Jokes on you, I'll take my 1% cash back plus points and simply declare bankruptcy.

Getting around the system.

If I had to even think about craft beer in relation to my overall financial stability, I wouldn't drink. The though of someone using credit makes me cringe.

Getting my priorities in line was a two year process. I wanted to buy a house. Two years ago, it became apparent I couldn't seek out every hyped beer to hit shelves in my area. Combine this with a new hyped beer coming out from every cow town around the country and it was easy to see the chase wasn't close to worth the time or the money. My FOMO faded away and I no longer care if I miss out on the latest hype-whale. Now I own a house and I'm content with my meager Bourbon County haul and dropping a few hundred dollars at Schramms every 2-3 months instead.

Not if you think of every beer as an asset that has trade equity like all the adults here should be doing.

The people who work at the Asheville store are awesome. We were kind of fed up with the crowds at the Funkatorium so just hung out over there and had an awesome time shooting the **** with the great staff and customers.

 

[fiestaplatypus]

I love catching up on all the posts from Raleigh friday night!
pgh_penguins did we actually meet that night? JulianB fiestaplatypus nice meeting ya and thanks for the shares.

I'll add my $.02 on the ABVMZ mess...
had pours from 2 different bottles. the bottles tasted nothing alike and the better tasting of them was merely good at best.
but what do I know?

Right back 'atcha. I'll certainly be back next year, at least for the bottle share.

Gotta get them points though. 2% at restaurants. Brewpubs are reataurants...

7.5% Imperial "Session" IPA.

I can hear Ding screaming all the way from Atlanta.

Wouldn't an Imperial Session IPA just be an IPA?

I call dibs on brewing a Session Session IPA. It's really just 1.5% hop water.

I would call it Double Session, but people would mistake that for a regular IPA as well.

He'Brew already did a "session Double IPA" that was about 7.5%. It wasn't very good, just like the rest of their catalogue.

yall getting pedantic is the reason this beer is called this.

 

[JulianB1]

As far as that beer itself goes, I really want to think that "Simcoe, Mosaic, Citra, and Experimental hops" will be really good, but I'm expecting the verdict will be "tastes like basically every other hoppy Sierra Nevada beer".

They'll do everything they can to prematurely package it, ensuring age makes that happen.

By that logic, would an "Imperial Double IPA" be a quad IPA?

You're probably right, but at least they're also trying some new things, right?

http://beercamp.sierranevada.com/beers/sweet-sunny-south/

Sweet Sunny South is:

A table saison with corn grits, black tea, honeysuckle, peach, papaya, guava and prickly pear.

I'm not sure if we're drinking beer anymore.

LOL cue the creation of AlcopopAdvocate.com, I've had entire meals with less ingredients than that beer.
