The Bruery didn't invent ****** beer; they just perfected it.

I always thought Jester King was pretty mediocre, but the Jester King Terreux collab almost doesn't taste like a Bruery sour. If it didn't have that twinge of "burns my throat going down" I would actually drink a glass. Therefore, Jester King = wizards.

I live in Ohio and all those prices are wrong.
JO Oil $5.99
Tilquin $9.99
Sweet baby Jesus $1.50
the rest $9.99 six pack beers at most.

Ouch, hit me up I'll send your buddy some Ohio beers for free if he's a good person and wanted Jackie O's and other stuff. Karma and all. I'll ship too.

My man. Thank you.

Visited East Texas town that I grew up in that 2 years ago was a dry County.

Went to a brewery called True Vine. Cool spot, very solid IPA, two good kettle soured options. Won't ever show up on the TB map but solid beers.

Thing that stood out was the brewer was a really cool dude. Took us on a tour right at closing. Very passionate. Loved what he does. Loved sharing it with us. Stayed way later after his wife asked him to wrap it up. This is why I like beer. I really hope he does well.



Oh and his opinion on NE hazy IPAs is, Hazy = Lazy, I like that slogan.

If I saw Tilquin for $9.99 I would be broke.

There's a growing market segment of MMA Fan/Truck Nuts swinging/Donald Trump voting/bad tattoo having/general shitbags that's getting into craft beer.

This hits them right in the feels. Those sweet, sweet "my other ride is your mother" bumper sticker having feels.

Dollars to donuts more NFL fans fit those categories than MMA fans.

The worst MMA fans wear rhinestoned Affliction shirts, have shamrock tattoos, and drive stock Japanese cars except for the muffler and spoiler.

I have never 'owed' more boxes to people ever. Srs I can barely keep up. I have so many piles of beer that 'belings' to someone else.

New Holland Dragons Milk just dropped her

Completely random conversation last night with a guy originally from Michigan. We talked beer, he asked if maybe I could find him this beer...currently siting on shelves locally.( Distro starting last week, apparently).

Are you drunk?

Are you drunk

I genuinely do not understand this question.

So I went to an "Infusion / Collaboration" beer festival tonight that was pretty well run, but it only confirmed everything I already knew about craft beer in 2016.

A local brewery made a couple of outstanding traditional beer styles as collaborations with local homebrewers (Dunkelweizen / Belgian Pale Ale) that he left with over 1/2 full kegs. A Black IPA with vodka soaked oak chips from a brewery I had never heard of kicked at the end of the night.

I definitely think the Tabasco barrel-aged porter I had at FoBAB a couple years ago would play a lot better now than it did back then.

I remember that beer.

It was awful.

Awful is and always will be awful.

Now I'm kind of ashamed that I was excited to try it...

Sounds like somebody's never had the pleasure of tasting vodka barrel-aged beer before

Couldn't I achieve the same effect by spritzing my hairspray into my beer?

Vodka soaked oak chips?

I'd be on that Dunkel.

There's a festival here where they invite 100+ breweries to brew a one off beer (has to be sold at the fest the first time).. It's all done in tasting paddle form, so you can generally tick through most of them over the weekend - or get full glasses.

The "People's Choice" winners are usually "stout with something in it to make it sickly sweet" whereas there are heaps of down the line amazing beers that no one gives a **** about. It's always interesting as I usually just stick to full glasses because **** 60ml plastic tasters, and the beers that I loathe usually are the most popular. Whereas a legit ESB that I'd happily get multiple glasses of gets lost amongst "omg barrel aged beer with sugary **** in it"

It's a pretty fun time none the less.

Well I shouldn't talk too much **** as the beer that my local brewery got the most praise for (and I would guess would be a people's choice winner) was a double milk stout (think 9ish % ABV Milk Stout) with Dark Matter coffee and hazelnuts.

While we all like to give the old timer / long time homebrewer / etc... **** about being sticks in the mud / Clint Eastwood / get off my lawn I do think they probably have a much more solid footing in beer than most traders / tickers who have jumped in the deep end of the pool in the past few years.

So I Sierra Nevada change their date format for exports (using the right dd/mm) but the Beer Camp Tropical I'm drinking says it was bottles less than two weeks ago.

That is a crazy fast turnaround to get it to Australia. To the point where I'm dubious and it's actually 4th of January not 1st of April.

But it tastes fresh... so yeah. That's impressive stuff. SN continue to be ahead of the game.

Don't love the beer tho. It seems a bit thin and harsh. Like, it's lovely and incredibly well made but just doesn't quite hit the high notes it could.

Seems it was bottled in Jan. Wtf do I know
