The Metro Detroit Thread

[BusinessSloth]

Is this where we talk about schramms? Or is there a specific thread for that? Searched and found nothing but this.

 

[steimie]

There's a mead thread

 

[Jas45678]

Take a look around...we hardly talk about anything here.

 

[user 306926]

Yup. You'd think we'd take care of each other with **** like quiet CBS tappings.

FML.

You taking about at Comerica last night? I knew they had a keg but had no idea when they were tapping it. I blame bigk84 for not telling any of us.

Corner Tap room, yup.

I think I need to hit this. Just need to find out hours because this would make a great lunch.

I stumbled across that last night, another beer buddy was checking in and I had to investigate. CBS blew right in front of me. I had to settle for KBS at Comerica Park, shame.

 

[bigk84]

Oh and a bolt cutter.

It's actually inside the park, to the right of the main entrance.

Back to not caring that I will never taste this ****.

Clubhouse BFD still had theirs and well as the Twisted Rooster restaurants in Macomb Twp. and Belleville.

I think those are the only ones left.

 

[Jb123]

public house in ferndale has theirs still to the best of my knowledge. Follow them on FB or IG.

Yeah, I know BFD is still sitting on theirs. Hopefully whomever puts out the next one does it quietly again and that SOMEONE ****ING TELLS ME ABOUT IT BEFORE IT BLOWS.

 

[abawol01]

Well I can tell you, knowing Jay and BFD, BFD will not be quiet and will likely be part of an event of some kind.

I have my homebrew version almost ready to go, regular BA breakfast stout some say is better than KBS, this time same recipe aged in a bourbon barrel that previously aged maple syrup, just like CBS, so you will get some of that maple goodness, just won't have the name or hype.

 

[steimie]

And cost you at least a testicle.

 

[bigk84]

Maybe two.

How is BC drinking these days. I think I might have buried one somewhere behind some really nice beers to make my cellar look deeper.

Was drinking pretty well actually

 

[user 306926]

Agreed. Had one not too long ago and found it to be quite awesome in fact.
But I also liked it fresh.

 

[trickytunadicky]

See some of you next weekend at B Nektar?

 

[sp0]

In Detroit this coming weekend and am curious about any bottle shops en route to the city from the airport. I also noticed Whole Foods downtown is a Schramm's retailer. Is it likely I find any there this weekend?

Not my neighborhood but, http://merchantsfinewine.com/ is good. Can't speak for Wholefoods but Schramm's (Ferndale) is not that far of a drive, 15-20 minutes from downtown.

Just make the short drive to 8 Degrees in Ferndale, Holiday Market in Royal Oak or Cloverleaf in Royal Oak. All have good selection and all will have Schramm's.

Or just go to Schramm's?

 

[steimie]

Sure, but bottle selelection is better at retail shops.

Stop at Schramm's for dat HoD pour!

Merchant's in Dearborn is about all you're going to find on the way from the airport to the city. Great selection too. As everyone else pointed out, make the 20-30 minute drive to the burbs for better retail options and meaderies and breweries.

 

[air]

Merchants was where I loaded up on beer the first time I had a car during Movement, solid selection there. I'm gonna just see what the Whole Foods has.

What canned seasonals would yall recommend that are on shelves right now? Really hoping to score Lilikoi, that'd be awesome.

 

[trickytunadicky]

"Movement" sounds like a poop. DEMF 4 lyfe.

 

[IAmJacksHopTongue]

What is the release line at B. Nektar Spring Fest like? Do I need to be there at time of event, an hour early, more?

You're not in line yet? You're ****ed. The FIB's have tent's up already.

 

[user 306926]

I don't line up for mead.

Any whispers on Kuhnhenn Summer Solstice this year?

In all seriousness, on the fall mead fest/mead day, I got there at 2 PM and was able to get every bottle except some of the Kill all the golfer variants. I wouldn't worry about it unless you HAVE to have something. I bet most of this will hit their distro if it doesn't sell out, B. Nektar is making a **** ton of meads/cysers/pyments/melomels what have you.

 

[bigk84]

Nothing yet to my knowledge. Hoping they didn't forget.

Haven't seen anything, but maybe someone has some insider knowledge?

Wouldn't be surprised to see TRIPA make another appearance, although I've never understood the love for that beer.
