Random Beer Thoughts

Bretta Rose is shelf turding in San Diego. Good times.

I'm annually baffled by how NC continues to produce and sell that beer given how bad it is right out of the gate, and that 99% of people buying it must be drinking it immediately, right? I do love how it ages "faster" than a lot of other stuff -- totally ready to drink in 3-5 years depending on the vintage.

Rasputin has a special place in my heart for being my first stout that wasn't Guinness.

Currently in line at Tree house and behind a trio of... let's say interesting people. Homeboy is in charge, round, lots of leg tattoos, and oversized, saggy shorts. He's got presumably his sister with him, who has eerily waxed eyebrows and is on the phone talking about a legal issue - someone didn't nothing wrong. Rounding out these 3 stooges is their white-haired dad, 60-70s, and skinny as a wire.

Oh, behind me is another portly gentleman who's happily telling me how hopeful he is to get Native One so he can flip it since he doesn't drink sours.

Yay

One day, the technology will exist to take pictures of these things, so that poor people at work can visually participate!

Which ones did you fight?

Followup (there's no signal inside the main Tree House building):

Once I was inside, the no-sours guy behind me kept saying we're gonna make it (get a Native One) and I kept telling him haha no way. As always, I was right - they sold out of Native One about 20 people ahead of us.

As soon as that announcement was made, the leader of the 3 stooges in front of me immediately began working out how much cash the other 2 had to give him back because he had doled out the MuleMoney(™) a few minutes earlier in line. He was actually haranguing his dad over a $2 difference or something.

I considered doing that but felt it was too creepster-ish

What kinda no good dumb question is that?

Spoiler

Going to the Taproom has been the best way to enjoy Cascade here in Portland. Most of the bottles run about $20 including vintage. Being from Colorado I thought the price point at $28-$40 was a bit much. Honey Ginger Lime is the best thing they make and it never leaves the brewery!

I immediately hit reply to mention Honey Ginger Lime. Glad to see you included that.

Easily their best beer by miles. I know that isn't saying a lot, but it's really ******* good.

Nothing....this is extremely disappointing.....

I'd say something like "beer 2016 in one post" but it's missing some crucial components, such as someone loudly complaining about the bottles running out, and someone attempting to either buy or sell bottles in the parking lot.

 

[cry me]

i ****** love tree house but ever since trillium opened their canton location there's no reason to stand in line there until they expand again

No knives, either.

i cant watch it because then youtube will recommend more **** tier videos about beer, i'll take your word for it

Remember when Pannepot was a year round shelfie?

The fact that it apparently isn't any more makes me sad. At least they haven't come for our Orval and Rochefort 10 yet...

I revel in the garbage reviews in the world and this was a breeze.

What is it with youtube reviewers and "smoke"?

I watched without sound and dude's wild gesticulating made me mad enough. Not brave enough to attempt again w/ sound

Don't -- like La Trappe Oak Aged Quad, it's worth every penny and you'll regret knowing that.

I've only had the brandy BA, how are the other ones?

I have no idea! It's so weird they think that matters.

Well, the Sierra Nevada beer camp releases were less bad on the whole than I expected, but I still think having six breweries per beer was a terrible idea. The 2014 releases had beers both better and worse than anything in the 2016 release, but they were at least reasonable efforts rather than gimmicks. I'd much rather Sierra Nevada return to the 2014 model if they do this again. 12 normal collaborations of uneven quality is vastly to preferable 6 overstuffed collaborations of decidedly average quality.

 

[sacrelicio]

Well then

I made it about 5 seconds before I wanted to turn it off but I slogged my way through to about the 3:00 minute mark and regretted every second.

Unrelated, but I somehow missed getting a bottle of das Uberkind, so if anyone has any extra they are willing to part with, let me know.
