No fresh CBS back in da day?

Lol the only CBS I had was a bottle that had to have been three years old. No bueno.

 

[DannyFullpint]

It wasn't that good fresh.

[Tyrsis]

I recall having it a year after it released and it was quite tasty.

 

[JonathanAmes]

I can't remember if it was two or three years ago but the new CBS was pouring at FWIBF & it was *******.

kingg This is my favorite email writeup of a beer you’ve ever done

Have fond memories of yummy, fresh CBS and sad memories of faded CBS. Another lesson in not cellaring/hoarding beer. Sure, some beers, those high in ABV, can get a little smoother, but more often than not, time has withered the beer to a shadow of its former self.

It's frustrating as hell when a brewery/importer literally says nothing descriptive about the beer.

Checked out Groundswell for the first time. Liked their NZ blond, peach Berliner, and red IPA. Mocha milk stout was mediocre. Overall better than I expected.

Gonna grab a couple npbc crowlers and some ice or Mexican lager to crush during tonight's games

Been very impressed with the quality and freshness of Melvin beers that have made it for distribution here in recent months.... just grabbed some Citradamus and Asterisk and they are both excellent DIPAs (a bit more flavor range and easier drinking than 2x4, which is no slouch either).

SD beer brewed in Wyoming.

Agreed. Hot take: I would buy cans of Melvin over Pizza Port if it weren't so cost-prohibitive.

So...Woodshop huh?

Perfect venue IMO. **** is going to be awesome.

Agreed. I'm almost more excited for the food offerings than anything. I'm going to take credit for it and assume cquiroga totally got inspiration from my post a few months ago

The only places that I think would be able to accommodate are breweries, and I'm not sure they'd want to do that. I would love to see it at NPBC or Bagby.

Also, I actually don't know if I would mind it being a little more intimate than before.

I can't think of a better place.

Bottle Logic?

Bottle Logic?

We all know those pricks wouldn't have anything to do with something this fun.

Not gonna lie...I was really hoping it wouldn't be in san diego this time around just because I gotta be in a wedding.......if only attending I could swing by but apparently being a groomsmen it might not be wise to be sloppy drunk walking into a church. Don't need to be any more flammable than I already am.

But if I can get time, I will be there...maybe at the very beginning.

Dick JOOCE with cheater fruits, no doubt

 

[cquiroga]

Ahem. Guys... You're not supposed to say you're making beers if they're being served blind. Nobody knows even the breweries involved when we do the Blind Showdowns with commercial breweries.

Now we gotta serve some trash Brian Dick hoppy berrs and garbage Ryan Reschan stonefruit sours, just to throw suckaz off the scent.
