The Metro Detroit Thread

[trickytunadicky]

Meh. We disagree on beer and that is okay.

I said pizza. Srs, I make half my choices based on food.

Holiday Market doing a Black Friday release where you can pick one bottle of either regular, coffee, or barleywine.

I don't fault Holiday. I'm just laughing at the dipshits lining up in the frozen food aisle three hours early.

 

[steimie]

Meanwhile, there's still at least one party store near me that has a bottle or two from last year still, but wants $25 for it.

Kuhnhenn ****** up KRE as well. Nothing like it used to be.

Seriously? The one year I'm actually getting a bottle.

Don't do it. I was glad I had a pour before I bought my bottle. Only wasted $10 instead of $30.

 

[Ckozl]

I kind of feel bad for those guys. Hope they figure it out.

What a shock! Pretty sure the door is closed on those guys. They lucked into a few beers close to a decade ago and haven't done anything good since. Probably a good thing they never got that bottling line up.

And I tried that ******* version of Griffin Claw's NE IPA a few weeks ago. Only those dipshits would think "NE IPA" meant some type of harsh, bitter imperial red ale. ******* clowns.

Glad I was too busy living to waste $30.

Dude you nailed it. 10 years ago they hit gold and ever since then they have just stopped making anything worth a ****. Confusing, how can you do that as a business?

Ps griffin claw, HA what a joke...

Seems to be working for them, although I suspect there's going to be lots of Eisbock bottles for sale for awhile. Maybe they'll put them into this year's mixed 4pk for Solstice and charge $60.

Creme Brûlée Java Stout was still good yesterday, at least.

Yeah I agree, creme brûlée is still solid but with all these places innovating and changing how are ppl still encouraging these people. Oh well.

Should have come hung out with us. Hung at Cellarmen's and Schramm's. Bought only pours. Felt good to not have to trustee.

Going to be up in Detroit Wednesday night.. Planning on hanging at Schramms. Anyone have any extra Red or Black Agnes they'd want to swamp while I'm on town for Jackie O's/SARA/GBC/Rare Barrel... list could go on.

Edit - Maybe I should rephrase as it looks like 6pp for Black and Red are still available.. will they still be around by Wednesday?

 

[steimie]

Best guess is--probably?

Based on the flow of folks Saturday and the stack of boxes, yes. Red for sure, probably black, too, but I wasn't counting them that closely.

 

[Ckozl]

They aren't open M or T so they should have some left for Wednesday.

Be sure to wear your Ohio State gear while you're up here.

 

[Jas45678]

Black Agnes is gone

 

[steimie]

Bottles of KRE on the shelf at Westborn Market in Berkeley.

$39.99.

 

[Ckozl]

Lol $40?

 

[boldflavors]

Yikes. Does KRE usually see limited distribution, or is this a matter of it not selling at the brewpub like they expected?

Not selling

Well DRIPA still isn't right.

First glass I had last week was terrific. It was also ice cold. Second glass was 10 degrees warmer and awful.

Creme Brulee Java was really nice, though.

 

[steimie]

If anyone around metro D is headed to 4 Elf and will have a few extra BBPt5, let me know. Would love to get a couple bottles if possible and I can't make the trip this weekend.

/end shameless begging
