Random Beer Thoughts

Need to get off my lazy ass and send BusinessSloth these Agullons so I can try that Live Oak Hefe...

If you haven't bought them yet, I'll send you the Hefe at cost+ a label.

I remember when that beer used to be so rare. That and Masala Mama from Town Hall. Getting growlers was next to impossible.

I really like it, it's one of the best US-made examples of a hefeweizen and in fact I like it more than most German examples, but that's maybe because I like mine really banana-forward rather than having a lot of clove esters. But like a lot of examples it shows that the difference between the "higher end" stuff and things that are available off the shelft (also insert Kellerweis here in place of the Yeungling) can often be minimal.

That being said, Live Oak Hefe is in 6-packs of cans that can be had as extras or for good locals. It's not like some dumb ass stout that costs $300 on the secondary market and is marginally better than BCBS, if at all. Live Oak deserves their reputation for producing excellent US-brewed examples of German style beers. Thankfully they don't trade like Tree House cans.

This. I just traded a bunch of old Bruery sours for Live Oak Pils/Hef and I happy as **** about it.

Still sounds like you won that one.

I hope the newer batches of Pils are better than the ones I first tried. They were ******* terrible, super metallic and bitter, with a finish that could be described as burnt pennies.

 

[Snarf1]

One more strong beer and I think I'll be able to believably claim I don't remember ordering a bunch of new beer glasses.

 

[JonathanAmes]

I like Pliny.

I like asking attractive women if they've ever tried Pliny.

Dude wanted the sours. But yes, yes I did. $4$ trade though and both parties were happy.

I've never had the Pils, but I would rather drink those than the Bduery sours. I told him I wanted more Hef than Pils.

If she wandered into Toronado on a Tuesday & received my patented "have you had Pliny gurl?" she'd be putty in my hand. Fact.

That beer is so hard to find in stock. So I've yet to try it.

Spent the day volunteering at a beer award judging. Turns out it's a 12 hour bottle share.

But with work... but still.

 

[jeevo]

Not sure what has taken a bigger beating during these Stanley Cup Playoffs, the players or my liver.

Paypal and a label for my brehs. $8.99/6 pack. I'm just torqued I don't have to bring growlers to the pool like a huge ******* tool anymore .

If you're in Cali, look for it on draft rather than trying to get bottles. Draft Pliny has been considerably better than the bottles in my experience. Pliny is best if you down a big pint of it (or two, or three).

Duly noted

 

[SSTroller]

was even at a local brewpub here ready to pick up a sixpack from their shop and they didn't have date on it. When I asked when it had been canned they said they weren't sure.

How is this even possible? SMDH

I might take you up on a case or two of this for wedding festivity purposes if it's plentiful.

I've found that taproom employees are generally complete homies when it comes to knowing anything that goes on in the actual brewery.

Stacks on stacks. So far. Just let me know.
