Random Beer Thoughts

Since they're owned by the same company (Duvel), this has got to be a little teeny tiny touch of marketing. "Trusted Friends".... right.

Maybe that's just old cynical me though.

That actually makes more sense now. My initial mentality was, why go all the way to KC to brew beer when you have friends in your own state who would probably be more than happy to help you out?

Next time they'll be brewing Sucaba with their "buddies" over at Ommegang.

Just wait until KBS is brewed in Spain.

it was never any good to begin with, even when it was good.

Too cool for school, huh?

KBS just is what it is. It's fine. To say it was "never any good" just seems to be overstating it.

 

[JCastle1]

I like KBS ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[jbeezification1]

ISO the KBS you guys have sitting around.

The third dude from the left looks like Peter Gregory from Silicon Valley...

It's like Peter Gregory and Jim Norton has a child.

Does anybody have that original thread archived?

Many laughs were had back in the day.

Wow, the TG must've been real good to miss out on this tidbit:

Hey looks like their internal processes and planning seem to be catching up to their distribution wing.

(will still buy one if I see it)

By the time it hits the East Bay it'll somehow be old and gross. It's just the Firestone way.

And it will be up to $12 per bottle.

Jester King is releasing a beer called "Rare Corals". Well played JK, well played.

Try to keep up, gawd.

This year's Hunahpu is better than it's been in awhile. I know there is always bottle variation with this style in particular but the 'adjuncts' were perfectly balanced.

Costco?

Costco?

The one in Goleta, CA, apparently.

People are probably jealous of the fact that you (or whoever took the photo) have the opportunity to take advantage of a big stack of prabola, and i'm just sitting here in Maryland jealous over the fact that there are costscos out there that sell beer.

Not my Costco, but yeah, that's nice. At my Costco they have bottles of Speedway for $6.99 I believe, and 24-packs of Karl Strauss Mosaic Session for $29.99.

Costco out here in Seattle carries all the barrel aged Deschutes stuff and has had Fremont's Bbomb and Coffee Cinnamon Bbomb the last couple years.

If it'll help you feel less jealous, our local Costco sells Two Brothers beer.

Well, not really

That's like saying, "my local costco has USDA choice steak", when my costco doesn't even sell meat.

No alcohol, no meat? Is it really even a Costco at that point? Make sure the sign doesn't say Gostco.

Nah, they sell meat. I was making an analogy. 90 percent of the reason why i go to costco is for the steaks. Got me some ribeye caps the other week actually. Never had that particular cut before, but i hear good things.

****
i wouldn't buy anything else if i could get Speedway for $7
