Random Beer Thoughts

[claaark13]

I just sent my boss a beer guide for North and South Carolina for when he is there with family/friends this coming week, and it in no way shape or form included JulianB. I think my job is safe.

I wouldn't be there anyway.

BJCP notably lists Black Butte, Founders Porter, & Edmund Fitz. Out of those, I'd probably choose the Edmund.

Trifecta of perfect porters

It's like you steeped Citra hops in tangerine juice.

That sounds like drinking tangerine juice with a shot of vodka in it. and some sort of hop bitters.

syrup. like, a hop smoothie.

yum.

Just saw someone use the difference in carat size for diamonds to argue why magnums have a higher price/trade value than an equivalent volume of smaller bottles of the same beer...

I mean, conspicuous consumption as display of wealth propped up by artificial scarcity is a better explanation for magnums than anything else I've heard.

Touche! It's at the very least a better justification than "it ages better than a smaller bottle!"

Are you ******* kidding me? I mean seriously.

Deschutes, I've loved you guys for years for producing a really solid catalog of drinkable, affordable, consistent beers with the odd gem here and there, but this is ******* ridiculous. Cocoa? Vanilla? Sweet orange peel? Peated malt? Bourbon barrels? Scotch barrels? Individually, all pretty interesting. In some combinations, possibly very good. All together? Just go the **** home.

At this point, I think you're probably better off adding vodka to fruit juice, but I guess there isn't any hype behind that.

We teamed up with our friends again at Other Half to brew Hundred Thousand Trillion; our second beer available in cans! This juicy IPA is heavily hopped with galaxy citra and el dorado. We also added mango, apricot and peach mid fermentation to complement the fermentation and dry hop character. An essential addition to your weekend. Noon open, both Boston & Canton. 16oz cans, $20/per 4 pack, limit 8 cans per person. No growler fills, however pouring drafts today, tomorrow at the Canton taproom. ~500 cases available.
Food Truck = M&M Ribs ~4-730p.
Trillium travels to Brooklyn to brew at Other Half later this year...stay tuned for details!

Too Drake, didn't read

To be fair to Deschutes, they released the most wood heavy Abyss in years (50%), and your exhausted mouth thought it wasn't barrel aged at all.

That being said, this will be mediocre at best

There is a new brewery opening up in the town next to me. They specialize in BBQ for food, they are currently contract brewing their first beer a pale ale called tears of a hipster. They are opening up less than a mile away from another local brewery that also specializes in BBQ for food and has been open for years.

Just glad it doesn't have pomegranate molasses anymore.

Great business model! I'm sure they'll do just fine!

Enjoying a $3 glass of Flora Rustica saison at Upright and watching the open fermentation krausening away. it's not happy hour, that's just how much the beer costs here. In a couple of hours I'm headed to bartend at The Upper Lip above Bailey's Taproom.

I love this place.

Up in tampa this weekend, found some white oak jai alai. This **** never makes it down south, or disappears after an hour of it does. Nice little surprise.

Monday Plough is a cool name.

Their imperial breakfast porter is just what I'd imagine a Founder's Imperial Breakfast Stout would taste like.

Totally kicked ass at disc golf (skins game, I won 9-5-4-0) today after our foursome consumed this on holes 1-3.

Funny story: So my mom has had a hair salon in town the last 20 years. She/Her salon sponsored one of the holes when they constructed the course. The sprinklers were on when we went to play the one she sponsored.

Buddy: "Looks like your mom's hole is pretty wet today."

nearly ran straight into former Packers General Manager, Hall of Famer, Gift from the Gods, Ron Wolf today at the grocery store

dodged him, turned back, gave him an open mouthed kiss and thanked him for SB XXXI

he was wonderful

Almost stopped a local neckbeard (think suspenders with a t shirt and shorts) from buying Watermelon Dorado. But then I overheard him saying Lagunitas Daytime IPA is a garbage beer and then decided otherwise.

I hope they were rainbow suspenders.

Is it just me that thinks that sounds delicious

Yes.

It's the peated malt that loses me.

It's the adjunct **** sandwich that sounds terrible to me.

Just heard a beer described as horse blankety. I want to make fun of it but here I am posting about it on a beer forum. What am I doing with my life?

 

[jivex5k1]

"A cow shitting out blackberries and blueberries onto a pile of hay wrapped in a horse blanket left out in the reason for 2 weeks. It's super crushable."

I don't feel like the ******* anymore.

 

[jivex5k1]

Talking about untapped now.

"Oh btw, I am legendary, just throwing that out there"

Is this post from BA circa 2009?

 

[beerindex]

Just heard a beer described as horse blankety.

Seems reasonable if we're talking about the smell of a gueuze, though I think this is one of those descriptors which, correct as it may be, 99% of people using it have no idea what they're talking about.
