What are you drinking now?

[WesleyS]

I can do that are you the one who collects growlers too?

I'm not the one of which you speak, but I do like growlers. I wish the breweries down here were lawfully able to fill growlers. We have some bars and growler fill places that do.
I'll PM you.

I mean I do but Some of them may be spoken for

 

[NIZZLE]

And now to SMASH! All 12 of these that the wifey bought for IPA day just for me.

 

[threephase]

Brewery fresh Ghandibot and the new BeerAdvocate... great way to celebrate IPA day

 

[TNGabe]

Cris's (FuzzyMittens) sour mash chocolate something or other?



I'll admit, I'd been avoiding this. It sounds absolutely terrible. It's very fruity. Smells mostly oud bruinish, but with some subtle roast. Taste reminds me of apple/cranberry juice, but then there is the roast on the end, which surprisingly mostly works. Bit of a gusher, it was a gentle pour, but it was making a break for it when opened. Reminds me off NG serendipity, but without the sweetness.

Really interesting what the cocoa powder (if I recall correctly) did to a sour mash. Try a plain Berliner sometime, I think the sour mash went quite well.

 

[TNGabe]

HB Berliner, it's cleared quite a bit.

Now can you understand my confusion yesterday?

Getting P-U-M-P pumped to bottle 10 gallons of berliner. No really.

Thinking it's time for Mr Alien or Ever Weisse, but I should probably save those to share with my wife. Guess I'll throw some HB berliner from last batch in the fridge right quick.

Probably filling some HF and TH growlers with peach and wild blackberry berliner if anyone who happens to live near those breweries would like to get some fruit sours in the mail.

That wild blackberry berliner sounds incredible! If only I wasn't leaving for vacation in 33 hours! (Can I get a rain check for the following week?! )

 

[LoloMT7]

Huge spice awesome mouth feel !! Well done bitterroot !

 

[NIZZLE]

I'm bottle conditioning it, so it's probably best to wait at least that long. I've had some sub par results sending my berliners in capped bottles when the weather is warm. I'm hoping the growlers (with zip ties) do a fair sight better.
