New brewery opened up near us. This is their porter....

Can your porter be this light and still be a porter?
Traditionally they could be like that. They were kinda like higher gravity dark milds.
 
Buddy is going to the TG release. He's bunking up and renting a car with a local dude he has never met in an effort to reduce costs. He's hoping the dude is cool. I offered encouragement in the form of "Hey man, as long as you don't come home with a shirt that reads 'I went to Decorah and all I got was roofied, unwanted anal penetration and this lousy T-Shirt.' it will probably go ok."


I'm such a good friend.

He wants to reduce costs, but is paying, what, $200 for three bottles of beer?

Your friend is everything that is stupid with the world.

Or is he secretly hoping for it?
 
Nope, you've made Eiswaukee. Sit cans at room temp for 10-15 min, puncture as if to shotgun, get all the good stuff, repeat until finished.

Combine with NyQuil for maximum effect.


Does oxycodone work? Should I Randall it with some toasted coconut and rip a fat rail of lupulin powder?
















Cause that may or may not have happened.

They mostly sell Jesus t-shirts at the Iowa-80. I got fear025 that is a take on a Facebook friend request from Jesus. People give him compliments on it.
 
Mash & Vanilla is not good.

We liked it. I liked Mash/Coconut better on tap, Mash/Vanilla better in bottle.

Look at those singles in the background. Shoulda taken a better pic and called it "Mash & Scrilla"
I was hustlin' plebes on the Rousey fight.

This pic was taken about :30 seconds before the ~30 second ass beating.

It was alright during the second half of the bottle as I suggested it might be. I even started getting a little vanilla.
 
Holy **** guys. I may have the opportunity of a lifetime. Remember when dontdrinkbeer posted that awful YouTube show Modern Ahabs? Video below. Well, his wife is a friend of a friend of my wife and asked if they can crash at our place for a night. I need great ways to make fun of this tool. Not sure we're gonna let it happen yet but if I get some great ideas we may do it and film the interactions.



friend of a friend?

tell them to stay in a ******* hotel like adults
 
Putting ~1/2 of a BA bomber/750 in a sqrt225 12oz swing-top in the fridge for the next day has yielded good result in all attempts thus far. CCB Bourbon Barrel Winter Warmer actually seemed better the second night. Hard to keep the foam from getting lively in the neck toward the end of the pour, but maybe that gives it a just right amount of oxidization for 24h?

Eh I routinely do this with big bruery beers with great results. Day 4 starts getting wonky. Except I don't even both with transferring. Just a wine stopper.

I'm trying to not dome 20% beers on weeknights anymore.
 
Firestone Walker is putting Sucaba on "sabbatical" for a year, which I hope isn't some pretext towards discontinuing it permanently. Not a lot of relatively accessible BA barleywines out there at the same quality and price point.

"Hey there's one less reason to give a **** about Firestone Walker."

I don't know what the **** they are doing over there. Guessing Duvel is pulling some strings behind the scenes or something because having what may be your best beer take a "sabbatical" is not a good look. I can never get Sucaba out here without practically camping the store anyway so it's not like they need to create false scarcity.

I read a week or so ago that they are maxed out on production but want to release some new beers so hopefully this is just about trying to stretch out the number of beers they can brew in a single year rather than creating false scarcity or taking the people out of market to bring it back at a higher price.
