Oat Kolsch with Yuzu? WTF.

Yuzu is probably my most hated adjunct in recent memory. It ruins everything it touches.

 

[souredstouts]

Thankfully they were only serving it in 12oz glasses.

How about that vanilla knee quiver though? I saw it on the Stone anniversary list and figured it was a denmark mikkeller beer and kinda wrote it off in my head. Saw it was on draft, and apparently been on draft for a bit.

That tapped when I went back up for a second round of it last night. Coffee was not super pronounced in it like many other ba coffee stouts. I am wondering if it is still sitting on coffee until their stout day? I sorta hope so. I liked the blend, I am also fan of both rum and ba shakes. Between these and traeblod, I am starting to enjoy the pastry stouts they are producing.

Does Sorachi Ace count as an adjunct?

In a small room with cquiroga and I failed at introducing myself and harassing about Woodshop.

In similar news, the Abnormal Masumoto dinner was fantastic.

Top 2 beers were Cellador's Mas, and Resident's Saison Prestige

Wife and I are gonna have to have a little chit chat about her stay at home mom responsibilities...

Ok not really....a little...




Damnit.

I believe it is a GF batch. However, it's in line with their last batch which was very solid (the finish doesn't have the softness of OG Nelson). I filled a couple growlers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Last one was money for sure. Can't wait for it to return to packaging.

I know Nelson cans are coming at some point.

A few years ago Green Flash bought Alpine Beer Co. Sometimes Nelson is brewed at Alpine and most times at Green Flash. Many people complain that the recipie didnt translate well when it was scaled up at Green Flash. Every once in a while people will concede the GF stuff is passable. Some people will claim there is easier better beer available without going up the hill.

And lots of Memberberries.

Do I have this right?

Add in the asterisk and it's perfect.

NPBC has a beer on called Alpine Not Nelson.
It sorta tasted like Nelson? I dunno.

Where? Other than DONG at any random brewery/bar.....

Where? Other than DONG at any random brewery/bar.....

• Random Pizza Port IPA's
• Literally any Societe IPA
• NPBC Scolari's, Warped Plates
• Most of MT's current IPA's

All great choices but as for the qualifier "better",

Certainly closer, ~40 miles versus 20 something, but Nelson / Bad Boy / KI fo lyfe.

Sorry, I just can't agree. If it were the OG, real **** Nelson? Yeah, absolutely. But the current version is just a middling attempt at what used to be a god tier beer.

BTW, NPBC is putting their entire anniversary IPA list on... and it's only $5 for a full (.4L) pour.
Time for some Monday drinking, me thinks

lol na

When even breweries like Three Weavers are slaying the hop game, there's no reason to drive that far for it. **** man, even Societe is an effort for me.
