Ahhh yes the good ole annual trip to South Dakota. Gotta see the beautiful............ horses? I literally have no idea what is in that state.

There's a really pretty park in Sioux Falls, just don't go there in the summer because a meat rendering facility is nearby. It kinda smelled when I was there in the winter, can't imagine it when it's warm out.

Mount Rushmore
Crazy Horse memorial (hopefully strip club one!)
Black Hills
Corn Palace

I believe that's in Enumclaw.

I sadly got that reference.

I grew up just down the way in Auburn.

And watched the documentary (and know a guy who worked on it).

Eeesh.

Midnight Sun does a tasteful arty Lady Godiva for Panty Peeler... sure it's still called Panty Peeler, but it's less crass than Kuhnhenn's Liquid Panty Remover (draught only, thank god).

18th Street has had some gems. Oh and that horrible Happy Ending which was racist and sexist.

Badlands NP is reason enough alone to go to South Dakota

I've done all those things. Also, there is a pretty sweet brewery in SD. I think it's called Miner Brewing? Obviously not sweet enough for me to recall it.

Deadwood was pretty neat as well.

Didn't take long for this news item to start causing an uproar online:

Brewers Association announces plans to crack down on offensive and sexist beer labels



While I'm not sure if I agree with the specific tactics they are using, I generally do think that it's time for breweries to step away from immature edginess in their branding. Most/all of the brands that I find the most appealing in terms of marketing, beer names, label art, etc. don't bother with that kind of stuff and present something more professional.

Leave the immature edginess to us.

So I'm guessing Brash Brewing's Pussy Wagon IPA isn't gonna make it in the competition this year? lol.

Can't find a label for that one, but I vote for this if they ever bottle or can it.

These and "panty dropper" are almost as irritating as all the hop puns out there.

Almost.

 

[hornydevil]

That said most of the beer I drink is homebrew so I don't have to worry about the selection not fitting my preferences.

I'm in the same boat here. Unless I find a case of not yet expired New Belgium Trippel at the distributor for $24, like I did the other day. Then I'll drink that.

My gf in college used to make what she'd call "Panty Dropper" whenever we would party.

2liter sprite bottle emptied to the top of rhe label and refilled with bicardi Limon and crystal light pink lemonade powder.

Weirdly, she'd only ever make enough just for herself. Weirdly.

Yeah, that's what it looked like on BA and RB, but I didn't know for sure.

 

[Kasher]

Long Island's current "it" brewery pumping out hazy canned IPAs, Sand City, announced on social media they'd be releasing cans of two beers today starting at 5pm. 20min ago they randomly announced they're now selling a third can (one of their more popular beers) and told people if they already left, come back.

Needless to say, it does not appear that everyone is pleased with this decision.

What a complete clown fiesta.

Pussy Wagon isn't a beer that deserves half as many posts as you two have given it.

Edit: and Pussalia is overrated as **** too. Some of their stouts are good but I'm over their ******** attitude. Every time I go in they are ******** about everything. We get it, y'all are badasses who like to cuss and hate everything. Cool.....

I've never been one to get overly excited about Sierra Nevada (though some of their smaller brewery-only releases have sounded good), but I'm getting pretty excited for their Beer Camp 2017 box that hits retail in June. Here's the list:

• Atlantic-Style Vintage Ale (English-style ale with plums) w/Fullers
  
• Campout Porter (with Vanilla and Honey) w/Garage Project
  
• Dry-Hopped Barleywine w/Avery
  
• Dry-Hopped Berliner Weisse w/St Arnold
  
• Dunkleweiss w/Ayinger
  
• East Meets West IPA w/Tradehouse
• Ginger Lager w/Surly
• Hoppy Belgian-style Golden Ale (with Lemon Peel) w/Duvel
• Raspberry Sundae (with lactose, cocoa, vanilla, and raspberry) w/The Bruery
• Thai-Style Iced Tea (with lactose, orange peel, black tea, tamarind, and star anise) w/Mikkeller
• West Coast Style DIPA w/Boneyard
• White IPA with Yuzu w/Kiuchi

Weirdly, three of the above are going to be 16 oz cans, the rest standard 12 oz bottles, but they're going to be sold together as one 12 beer variety pack. Sounds way more promising than the craziness from last year, where each of five different beers had five other breweries collaborating with them.

They can keep all that lactose ****. The others sound pretty good.

The Ovilla beers age surprisingly well. Found that out by accident.

I hate myself for being most excited for the Mikkeller Thai iced tea beer.

 

[trickytunadicky]

Can't have the Thai Iced tea, but my first thought was I wonder if they mean barleywine or red IPA? ******* Avery.

Pink panty dropper

1 frozen pink lemonade
Fill lemonade container with vodka
Mix into a pitcher
Add 3 beers (whatever you want but I always use Labatt blue)

Game over

Sounds like Kuhnhenn's recipe, only remove the vodka and replace the Labatt with Fluffer

My wife calls them summer beers. Definitely easy to not realize how much you are drinking.
