Random Beer Thoughts

[jbeezification1]

Someone school me on Trinity. I have a friend who insists they are great and I got a pour of 7 Day Sour at a tasting once so that was enough for me to set up a trade for a few bottles. I literally said just throw a few bottles in the box, I trust you. I just opened and struggled through a bottle of 365 Day Sour and I'm wondering what's the deal. There was nothing going on it was just sour and had a bit of bubble gum. Is this a bad bottle, a bad example of their sours, or do they just suck?

The beer is best paired with fast food.

I am not going to turn down looking at an undressed pretty man any more than you will turn down looking at an undressed pretty woman.

I want to see those neckbeards with manginas as much as you wanted to see that pic of me in the hot tub with powz87 and Gonzoillini

I can't be the only one who thinks the manginas are funny (especially the "passion" one)...can I? I do have a 15-year-old's sense of humor.

The harassment on the other hand...not funny at all.

I actually think the manginas might be less "annoying" than all the stupid tonguing bottles or general sticking tongues out like 15 year old girls.

"Hey fam here's me at Cantillon sticking me tongue out sideways, oh and did u hear I sat next to JVR on a plane flight?!"

Red Swingline is where it is at. 365 Day sour is fairly acetic, but 7 Day is a basic ass berlinner. Stop Making Sense hasn't been made in a while, but was pretty killer last time I had it, and Pappy Legba was on when we were down there in October. That one was alright. That is the extent of my knowledge of Trinity beyond maybe Yester should have someone else internet for him because he tends to be....confrontational.

The 365 I had tonight wasn't even all that acetic. It was flat and boring.

Odd. I mead I would believe flat. Their brew space is tiny so I think everything is done by hand, so a flat bottle here and there wouldn't surprise me, bur the pour I had in the taproom made my eyes water.

Drank this tonight with imperialking at my local spot (Brixies in Brookfield IL for those in the know), and it was surprisingly impressive.

A huge thick / viscous "barleywine" with lots of oat / rye like mouthfeel characteristics and huge barrel aged character to complement a rich sweet intense beer. Was $7 for 7oz, and one was enough, but was very enjoyable for what it was.

This beer kind of came out of nowhere for me as well, I hadn't heard anything about it before walking in tonight.

Really, really good stuff. The bestest/stupidest part is that my local bottle shop/growler dude has it on for $10 a 32oz fill. Out of control.

Yep considering what the keg costs (and that it was being served for $7 for 7oz in Chicagoland) I'd buy a couple of those just because I could

Cheers!

He changed the name to 7 day sour, so I don't really care anymore. He's an odd dude though.

Oh autocorrect is off, but I have fat fingers and predicive typing suggestions are directly above the top row. Sorry for being fat...





























Except that I am not.

Have you submitted your JEG in a neckbeard

Cooked Barley instead of steel cut oats for breakfast. Even put blueberries and raspberries in it. Honest mistake.
Edit - kind of beer related.

I'm starting to see a bunch of people looking for Frampaars after it was compared to VSB and SHBRL. The power of dontdrinkbeer compels you!

I just had my first taste of Tree House hops. Alter Ego canned 02/17.

It's an excellent IPA, but just that, an excellent IPA...but not the transcendent experience that these sumbitches would have you believe.

About half way through I was fairly underwhelmed so I opened a can of Ninja vs Unicorn (canned 02/16) to do a side-by-side. Got real OCD with it...did Alter>Ninja, Ninja>Alter, Alter>palate cleanse>Ninja, Ninja>palate cleanse>Alter, reefer break, rinse/repeat, etc.

The first thing I noticed is that even with the completely different hop profiles, they were very similar in taste. I mean remarkably similar in taste - but the feel/finish was what made the difference (and of course the appearance - TH w/ that haze, brah!). I will concede that the Tree House had a bit brighter/more alluring aroma, but finished so sweet with that creamy/thin mouthfeel. The Pipeworks just seemed a bit better balanced with a much drier finish and crisp feel, so despite being 8.0 ABV vs the Alter Ego's 6.8, was more drinkable/crushable.

I realize this sounds like local bias but I always try to be as sincerely objective as I can. Obviously I'll need to try more of the TH portfolio to truly form an opinion, but for now I'm firmly in the ****-yo-hype camp.

Sorry to bore you with my inconsequential thoughts, its just...
