What are you drinking now?

[afro_lou]

Ha! I wish I could get a good name in for ME!

But yes... trades indeed...


Can’t get any of this Barebottle stuff specifically (no distro/packaging!), but you know I’ve got some other goodies around here [emoji6]

@aflo_lou that Rare Barrel is highly respected, as should be, by brewers out here. Went to a new brewery Skull Mechanix in Austin. Dude behind the counter had pics with those guys with Russian Rivers #1 Barrel they used many years ago. Guess RR loans it out for others.

Too bad their beer was mediocre. I started talking up Pinthouse Pizza IPAs..this is why I don't have friends.

6 pints (not a good idea!!) of 3 Stars Belgium Pale Ale ... most obscure beer I have ever had, but I could not stop drinking it. I still think it was a kettle sour or sour saison or something. What the **** is a Belgium Pale Ale supposed to taste like? Mind blown!

Yeah, those RB guys have a stellar reputation, and well earned! I know they have and excellent relationship with Jester King, and those two breweries are always bouncing things off of each other.

And yes! Vinnie/RR are amazing evangelists for wild/sour/barrel aged beer, and RB isn’t far behind! They actually just recently gave the OG “Rare Barrel” PH1 back to New Belgian! So oddly enough, THE “Rare Barrel” is no longer at Rare Barrel. Long story behind that, but the gist is that over the last couple of years, they’ve found a “better” Rare Barrel, so that’s going to be the “Holy Culture Holder” for now. Incredibly, they do a “search for the Rare Barrel” every year that’s only open to a limited number of Ambassadors (I’ve never won the lottery to get in) where they taste off of a wide variety of barrels and vote on the best of the best to be the newest “Rare Barrel.”

Anyway, there’s your history/current events lesson for the day [emoji12]

The sour world is deep and fascinating. Thanks for the info share! In the mean time I got my Homer buckets! [emoji15]

Just you wait! I think that this year’s RB offerings are better than ever.

And hey! just keep on wild’in in those Homers! You never know what you’re gonna get...

Try Supa Sumo. I put that right behind Nugget.

Holy $hit. I never thought I’d hear Jester King again. We used to live in Texas and did our 5th wedding anniversary as a brewery and winery tour around Austin, complete with limo. Went to Jester King and loved it. Just assumed it was so small (at the time) that I’d never hear anything about them again after leaving Tejas.

Oh man!!! Well, you’re gonna have to hook up with @PianoMan then. JK is still, and consistently, putting out some incredible wild/sour beers. Killer stuff!

That’s bananas. Hands down one of my favorite breweries. We went there and sat out on the picnic tables and had pizza and then did the tour and drank damn near everything. I loved it but they were way ahead of their time. We were there about five years ago and they were infusing stuff with jalapeños and prickly pear cactus and stuff that people really weren’t doing back then. Glad to hear they’re still doing well.

Stick around...I'll sample/post a few JKs or ship off a few once in a while. I think some folks might still have bottles I sent. Live about 8miles away but for the $$$ in general I'd rather spend elsewhere (aka Pinthouse Pizza) or homebrew.


If anything catches your eye let me know. That Atrial Rubicite will come out in a couple months but I don't do lines and I think you're limited to 2. I'm working on a clone-ish recipe to get that rasperry jam flavor.

Coffee..
