What are you drinking now?

[coldcrash]

Local Belgian style Dark Strong ale aged in red wine barrels. Must have picked up some bugs in the barrel. Hint of sour and a bit of a gusher.

HB saison

I have 2 bottles stashed away for my next brewday on the 4th. That's some good stuff right there, man...thanks alot for the hookup. I told two of my brew buddies who haven't had it yet that they better show up early on the 4th because I've been staring at those 2 bottles for way too long, now. How'd you like the Alesmith and Firestone?

In honor of Finsfan, I'm gonna go crack open my last Velvet Rooster right now.

i had not had the myrcenary before you asked for it so thanks i love that stuff, got some more today actually. Both the double jack and alesmith were amazing, i think the alesmith is in my top 5 of all time it was crazy good! we may need to set up another small trade in a month or so when you want some more odells

How is this...I've contemplated grabbing one more than a couple times.

 

[LoloMT7]

This is good... whole ton of yeast in the bottle! I bet 1/4 inch.. could buy a 6er for brew day and skip doing a starter!!

For sure...very soon, actually, Alesmith's Yulesmith Summer DIPA will be coming around this area. I can toss some of that, too, so you can see what you think. Alesmith IPA is a great go-to IPA that is available year round...really like that stuff.

that sounds very good! i wish i had that caliber of beer around all the time, the aroma was so intense and it was very smooth yet bitter enough

It's very good. Not getting any noticeable wine barrel character, more like a slightly sour quad.

Have you had any of their other Menagerie series, or Migration series?

 

[nevinca]

stone ruination 10th anniversary...one of my favorite beers at the moment.

yum

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Last one ... Farmhands - excellent saison.

No, Lot 6 is all I've had from Evolution, but Whole Foods in Plymouth Meeting had Menagerie on draft this week, and I contemplated grabbing a growler or bottle. Are you in the Philly area?

 

[allenH]

Saint Somewhere Saison Athene. Awesome.

 

[NIZZLE]

This taste like a unripe peach very tart

No. More like Baltimore area, even though I live in PA. View out my front door is of the MD countryside. . I'm familiar with that Whole Foods though. I have family in Collegeville.

Love Lot 6.

 

[Dave1096]

its nothing as incredible as you guys have on the east coast

You gotta find yourself a trader on the West Coast, specifically San Diego...that's where it's at. I'm going back to visit in August...forget Alesmith, I'll send you some Alpine beers. Trust me...you want them.

Is that a yes or a no?

 

[Fuzzymittenbrewing]

My American Amber from Red Tulip recipe New Holland brew master Jason Salas gave me.

i believe you haha remember me when you are there and we can put together a trade then too, i am going to New mexico the last week of july, anything youd like from that region? not quite sure what they have there

Cheers sir! Side note, Cajun Chicken fritters are made up and just need to be cooked for dinner! I think they'll be quite spicy so they should do well with an IPA

 

[Remmy]

Home brew Sculpin. Tallgrass is officially being chilled!!!! Oh YEAH.

Had that up in Michigan a few weeks ago. I'm a fan.

 

[NIZZLE]

Is that a yes or a no?

the survey says it's a yes ;-)

 

[Spraentart]

A great IPA and the Single Hop series are delicious as well.

 

[LoloMT7]

Now trying to wrap my taste buds around this Rhubarb mosaic my last sour from Gabe :-(

 

[TNGabe]

Nice. Mind sharing where you found that deal?

Dawson's outside of Baltimore. I got 4 and my wife made sure I knew I could get more since it was such a great deal.

No multi quote on mobile, but had a great time with mark the wasp man mcnaumer-erb at Tired Hands. As excited as I was to come here, I'm not at all disappointed. Really really good beers.

 

[TNGabe]

I'm not a sour expert like you are by any means Gabe but I do love that love child #3. Awesome beer! I scored some Upright lately. Was in Boise last week and they had the FLORA RUSTICA for 9 dollars a bottle! I thought that was a steal

Hope you got me some at that price.

 

[TNGabe]

Man, you guys are running the Tired Hands gauntlet.... and is that a bottle of HF Civil Disobedience hiding in the background? Seriously jealous

Eagle eyes

 

[Dave1096]

Tired Hands. As excited as I was to come here, I'm not at all disappointed. Really really good beers.

Good to hear...I haven't made it out there yet. Alot of beer lovers in this area are talking about that place. I just lost a bet where I have to buy a guy I work with lunch at Tired Hands...so I guess I still win.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

This Velvet Rooster is certainly following pattern. Really solid good beer.

that is what I love about Tall Grass. Same with Crow Peak out of Spearfish, SD. the stuff you buy in the stores is a great solid beer. the kind of thing you would drink on a regular basis. and if I could get Tall Grass or Crow Peak in my town, I'd probably have a stock of Velvet Rooster, Buffalo Sweat, Pile-O-Dirt Porter, and 11th Hour IPA.



just finished a 16 of my Simcoe Pale. gonna have NoKato's Discombobulated Pale next.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

Hope you got me some at that price.

if hints were bombs, we'd all have to clear for nuclear fall out. bwahahhahaha!!
