How does it compare to Eppig's Schwarzbier? That's one of my favorites from them, precisely for that reason.

I haven’t had much of Eppig’s so it’s hard for me to compare.

I adore Eppig and enjoy their Schwarzbier, but… D&T is an absolutely perfect beer. Even the foam on it is consistently perfect.

Drank RC and D&T back to back yesterday afternoon. So good! The lack of beers like D&T around have me preferring it over RC.

Köstritzer Schwarzbier 500ML can

Yeah but I got spoiled on my trip to Berlin and the stuff over here just isn't as fresh/good.

Curiosity got the best of me at vons the other day. Actually pretty decent. WWAAYYY better than the last can of sculpin I had a while back. $10/6r I could buy this again.

That beer was fantastic back in the day.

It was KS mosaic before Karl did it. I still prefer KS but no can codes on Karl make this an easier purchase in a pinch.

Is that the winning IPA? Which brewery was that?

Yes, North Park Beer Co

Thank you. As an OC guy, I totally forgot about NPBC as a beer shipping option / brewery to support right now. Just ordered a mixed case of Party Cup and Hop Fu, along with some of this incredibly named IPA.

The lockdown sucks, but this “high-end beer festival delivered to your door” concept that has emerged in craft beer is bright silver lining.

 

[cquiroga]

Ok, so it's settled. Next order is going to NPBC. Need some of that Sorta Mostly Dead. Party Cup too. Tempted to get some Bird Park as well, but I think shipped cans will have to do....

NPBC is one of those great breweries with which I have a personal, sentimental connection, and it would be a gatdamn shame to lose them in the midst of this whole COVID-19 crisis that is ravaging our world. Gotta do what I can to support breweries like this as much as possible right now.

EDIT: Damn. Can't forget Hop-Fu!

EDIT2: Settled on a mixed case of Hop-Fu!/Party Cup, with a couple of 4-packs added of Sorta Mostly Dead. $140-ish shipped to my door. Really fucken hard to beat 32 pints of wonderful hoppy beer from San Diego landed at my damn doorstep for <$5/pint.

 

[sdreaper]

Ended up on a zoom call drinking mead yesterday, so...yeah...2 bottles down helped me to completely forget about NPBC ordering. So a couple 4packs of HopFu/PartyCup/SortaMostlyDead (need that wcipa fix) ordered this morning for delivery later today. Tonight's movie session will be extra delicious.

 

[arren]

Don't sleep on Covington either - that is a banger of a beer.

What flick is on deck?

 

[sdreaper]

What flick is on deck?

Gonna prolly choose 2 of the following:
Stray Dolls
The Other Lamb
Gutterballs
Blue Ruin
Becoming
Transference
To Your Last Death
Blush
IP Man 4


I have such a backlog it is ridiculous. And those aren't even counting the ever-increasing list I have on Shudder/Prime/Hulu/Netflix. =(

Edit: Watched 0.0Mhz on Shudder last night. Very solid south korean paranormal film. Constantly amazes me what south korea can get away with in a movie compared to what a similar movie has to restrict in the US.

It is a fantastic movie with the whole class-structure and manipulation.

I saw it basically alone in the theater when it first hit the regal in mira mesa. Had time to spare, better half was at her Che Cafe nightly meeting, so might as well keep abusing my regal pass movie card.

 

[reidjoshua1]

All this talk and I made the 3min walk to pick some up. Dank brah

 

[rcubed1]

Tiny Bubbles Brut is fantastic, especially at a $10/4 pack price point. Too bad it didn’t come out 7 years ago.

I have so much beer in the fridge already but you guys are making me want this one. I’m seriously considering ordering a single 4 pack to be shipped to my front door. It’s about $32. I’ve spent $32 on stupider things...

You had to do this AFTER I bought all the NPBC cans didn't you?

Now I gotta figure out how to smuggle these inside the house while somehow avoiding the better half.

Well I didn't want you to miss out on supporting NPBC.
