The WI Thread: FIBs stay the **** out

Does is still taste like pennies?

Dunno. Will report back once I've had a chance to sample.

I picked up a single at Downer's last night and really enjoyed it. There maybe was a twinge of metal in the finish, but no where near as bad as last year's. I think, if memory serves, last year's was a bit thin. 2016 has a great mouthfeel.

Assuming that oud bruin 2015 was the base for 2015 enigma and R&D BBBB (both of which I did not like because of the same metal hints) I'm really looking forward to anything that's using 2016 as the base.

I didn't really pick up any metallic taste this time around, but then again, I have a pretty janky palate.

I'm going to have to buy more of this. Almost makes up for the weaksauce that was Milk Stout (which was delicious IMO, but not Thumbprint worthy).

I don't know much about nothing, but I wonder if last years batch was first beer through the new foeders and they picked up a lot of fresh wood - therefore that real sharp flavor.

I was wondering moreso if it was the first through the coolship and it pick up the penny flavor there.

Maybe it's just an assumption but I would guess the coolship is proper food grade and not leeching into the beer.

Maybe.






































































But maybe not.

But maybe not.

I'd be shocked if the metallic taste came from the coolship itself, but I do find that blended / pasteurized sour beers have a tendency towards metallic character. See the last 5+ years of La Folie in bottles (I don't find the same flaw on draft for whatever reason).

anyone make it to Stillmank this afternoon?

Anyone see HW Midwinter Night Dram Act 3 floating around MKE? I don't think Act 2 showed up until scene 2... so hopefully soon?

Nope. I know where there's some Act 2 point something.

Is there any place in Green Bay to get a quality dinner and a good beer selection? It seems everytime this comes up we always end up at Titletown, which I'm fine with. Just wondering if I'm missing out on something great.

Whenever I find myself up there, I always try to make the short drive down to DePere to hit S.A.L.T at least once.

Luna Cafe is right there in town as well, if you're looking for some good coffee.

Have not been TO SALT, thank you. Luna Cafe is a really promising place, sometimes I forget I'm in Green Bay.
If Clay Matthew's likes the BBQ elkhunter36, it must be good! I'll have to check that out maybe a lunch stop!

****, I meant Luna is in DePere. It's only like 10-15 mins from GB though.

Eh good looking out. Been to Hagermeister a few times. Thought the food was pretty good, and always could find something real good on tap.

Thanks for the suggestions!

What's that motorcycle museum/dealership/BBQ place, I believe right off 29 about a half hour out of Green Bay? I thought their BBQ was pretty good, and lots of cool vintage motorcycles to look at. Not much of a beer list though.

I'm sometimes too lazy to drive the 15 minutes to Binny's, but I'll absolutely drive the hour and half to the border for this.

Found it: Doc's Harley-Davidson and Timeline Saloon & BBQ. Crazy place, lots to check out (motorcycle museum, car museum, zoo, pirate ship, duck pond with canoeing, etc.), good food, cheap drinks.
