Random Beer Thoughts

I dunno either. I brought a bunch of TH, trillium, alchemist home from my NE trip last month, gave a good amount of it away, and I'm still sick of NEIPA now. Luckily I have a case of House beer...

Get that wooden crate with it? I love that stuff. My wife gets pissed at me every year, because I haul the empty wooden crate with me on vacation for the refill at Allagash...

Did anyone attend that Abnormal sunglasses release? I heard that it came with a free beer.

Allen,

As you may know, the Pacific Northwest's fertile soil makes it one of the top hop growing regions anywhere.

A giant wave of IPAs, Imperial IPAs and experimental IPAs have been pouring in the last couple weeks.

So the time is now if you want to grab the best IPAs from the hottest breweries all over the region.

Here are the 33 that just came in.

Sift through them, read reviews and research to your heart's content. But to save you time, I've compiled a quick run down of a few of the most exciting.

Buckle up, Buster...

*** SINGLE IPAs ***

• Mayberry IPA by El Segundo - A 100% Mosaic IPA. Super juicy with a beautiful aroma and great bitterness. An all around awesome IPA.
• Pickleweed Point by Pizza Port - Just a classic, super well made west coast IPA. Brewed with oats and shows off tropical fruit notes.
• Unfiltered Sculpin by Ballast Point - Extra-hopped unfiltered IPA. An enhanced version of the classic Sculpin IPA. Notes of fresh apricot, peach, mango and lemon with a slight haze and less bitterness
• Plus more...

*** DOUBLE IPAs ***

• Hail to the Hop Thief by Stone - A 21st Anniversary 9.8% ABV Imperial IPA by one of the best IPA brewers on the west coast. It's dry-hopped a lot and unfiltered.
• 11th Anniversary DIPA by Port Brewing - A massively hopped, strong 10.5% ABV IPA. Great bitterness.
• The Brother by Fremont – A beast. Brewed with twice as much barley and 1/2 pound of hops per keg. Sits on your palette and beats you down. A Northwest Style IPA, hops first, hops last and hops all the way through
• And many more...

Click here right now to get all 33.

Cheers,
Matthew

Literally only one of those breweries on that list are from the PNW.

Has anyone tried the founders malt liquor yet?

Yes? Last weekend is kind of a blur. It's pretty alright if I recall, but I enjoy craft malt liquors in general.

I do too. If I could have bought a single as a preview I would have already. Trying to buy and dump less ****** beer. Yaknow.

I bought a 4-pack... it's available in 750s as well if you want to buy a "single.". Whole Foods here has both.

I wouldn't buy it again. It tasted like someone took a 40 of Private Stock, poured a shot of cheap vodka and a vanilla bean. It was good for the experience.

I didn't hate it all. Liquor de Malt is the true GOAT though.

DFH should really do that again. We didn't get it with round 1 and I was inept at trading back then.

Bout to do 2 bottles of DKML. Wish me luck.

My buddy had a 10oz glass of it on draft yesterday at our fantasy draft. He struggled with it.

I'm cool with Sweet Repute. I missed it last time, and I was a 2009 Nemesis fanboy.

I had some on Saturday. Four of us split a 12oz bottle. It definitely had that malt liquor taste with a very vanilla forward barrel character. My thought was if you turned an oktoberfest into malt liquor then that's how it would taste.

I didn't mind drinking three ounces but that's about all I ever feel like I need out of that beer. It seems like one of those things you'd think would be funny and brew a single batch for the taproom but never consider putting into production. I cannot imagine this beer sells very well beyond the single curiosity purchase.

Curmudgeon's Better Half was the best of the series.

Curmudgeon's Better Half was the best of the series.

Never got to try this.

I'm going to say it every time until they release it. Panther Cub. Their porter in BLIS maple syrup bourbon barrels.

 

[JCastle1]

Never ticked it and really want to . Mango habanero Jai Alai is one of the greatest things I've tasted and as far as I know they never rebrewed it. So Mango Magnifico sounded like the next best thing.
