What are you drinking now?

[DrunkleJon]

Well thank you. I try my best to pretend I know what I'm doing in the kitchen.

Having a Belgian pale now



The plates are a little crunchy.

Well you obviously didn't cook the plates low and slow enough. Maybe you should marinate them in beer for a bit first.

Hahaha

You should get their regulars, Jai Alai, Maduro, Hotter Than Helles and maybe Florida Cracker (maybe not, the name might sink sales). All of those are really good. You might also get Tocobaga and some of their seasonal regulars (12oz), Cubano Espresso, Humidor Jai Alai, White Oak Jai Alai, and a few others. It wouldn't suprise me if you found some 750's up their soon, the owner is good friends with someone up there, a distributor or big bar owner that helped them out when they started up, that's why they've been up there for so long.

Awesome thanks for the info man. Ill definitely be keeping an eye out for em. Just got home from gym. After a killer workout and a couple brews i hope ill be able to pass out at a normal hour tonight. Homeland on demand and some jai alai sounds like a great way to spend the rest of the night.

Cheers!

Holy $hit! Damn man thats gnarly! You mightve been better off breaking it than with a sprain that bad! I hope it looks worse than it is and you have a quick recovery. Keep your beer on it between sips.

Yikes! Hope that isn't as bad as it looks. Good luck.

I liked it - definitely worth one try. I'd recommend doing a side-by-side with Golden Monkey so you can see the effects of the barrels.


Having water ... bad headache set in this afternoon and just doesn't want to go away.

Haha, if I didn't do a growler, you were going to get one of these from me.

I think the picture makes it look worse, i can walk on relatively pain free, in the morning it may be a different story.
More porter and a little Jameson on the side.

 

[DrunkleJon]

yeah careful on the first stand up tomorrow morning. Put a cold beer on it and be ginger after long rests.

 

[Channel66]

Went from the midnight maple to a bit of this. Haven't had one in awhile. When I first started kegging we had a keg of this on tap all the time for the wife.

 

[nukebrewer]

This really isn't half bad. There is a light toastiness from the granola and the hop character, while subdued, is very pleasant with your typical piney/dank American hop character to it. Finishes semi-sweet but dry enough to accentuate the bitterness.

Question for group. Are Goose Island's Lolita, Juliet and Gillian worth the steep price tag? We just got some in the store today, but they are $19, $25 and $30 respectively. I'd like to try them, but it's hard to justify in the name of simply trying new beer. I'd like to have a relatively good assurance that they are good first.

 

[Qhrumphf]

My Milk Stout.

 

[Channel66]

A black, a white, and a red. Maybe a golden next?

 

[finsfan]

Did this beer really take a month and half to carb?! I seriously havent had any signs of carb this entire batch, not anything even when vigirously poured. This is the first one ive had that is carbed and the batch is over half gone! This might be a fluke brew but Im hoping the rest of them turn out like this O yeah, HB Brown!

I really enjoy Juliet, I don't remember the price here, but I thought it was well worth the price I paid. I'm not sure that helps you though

So is this made by BMC or is this a separate part of goose island that does?

 

[NIZZLE]

separate part of goose island. If I'm correct BMC don't make the good stuff that's still made in Chicago.

 

[ChefRex]

Wondering the same thing.

 

[Channel66]

So the deal with goose island...

BMC distributes it. Goose island brews it. The brewery was struggling and they struck a deal with the devil. That's about all really, they are still brewing their own stuff. Some of the 6ers and kegs (honkers, IPA, etc) you see might have been taken over but their special releases (usually named after women) are just the same they have always been.

thanks for the info! I knew that BMc was involved somewhere but thought they owned goose island now. I wish we got their special releases, or any special releases for that matter

Channelcat to the rescue thanks brah! Cider and oakheart.

I'm not sure of the share split, I'm not sure anyone outside the brewery is, but from my understanding BMC is minority owner, they are the cash cow that has allowed goose island to expand their market massively.

I'm definitely supportive of this use of buds money, if they did more of this rather than muscling people out if the market, it would be a better world.

You process that pic with Pixlr Express? Great app, right?

Drunkin Punkin. I only have two (including this one) cold so I can't get out of control like I did last night. I suppose I could if I really wanted to with two Brown Shuggas left also, but I don't think I'm going to let that happen tonight.
