What are you drinking now?

[Shuldawg]

Trying one of these while I pray for the giants to quit circling the drain. A little thin on the mouthfeel for me but the combo of citra/mosaic has me looking for a recipe to put at the front of the pipeline.

The real question is: Did that Mal in the background get a taste?

 

[tyzippers]

hob nobber... kinda like a dirty flower. not a fan them, dechutes and someone else has that same flavor, wtf...

I was not real impressed with Hobnobber either. I understand it's one of those brews that has a rotating hop bill. This is another brewer from my old stompin grounds. They're relatively new, but doing very well! I wouldn't let this one deter you. Chinookie is a solid IPA from them.

Having another pour from my growler of Single Hop Mosaic Pale Ale.

Glad to hear its decent....I must've had an off bottle of Serge a few weeks ago in Fla, total band-aid bomb drain dumper.

I have read that on some of their reviews, I have not had any band-aid in any of their bottles (I personally bought out 90% of my local liquors Saison Athene). I would expect some variance from batch to batch, this guy basically open ferments in a strip warehouse. Super small brewery. http://youtu.be/bX-c3CwgNo8

Can't wait to try the beers on the left!

Saint Somewhere Pays Du Soleil. Great Dubbel, as always with Saint Somewhere, keep your thumb on the cage when you remove it, they will put your eye out

Amber Kölsch from Enki. Second brew from them. Tastes good so far. We have been selling out of them on tap like crazy. (I work in a restaurant across the street) excited to see what beers they will be putting out in the future. All nice people over there and the brewmaster is an interesting guy.

Having a Back East Brewing Amber. Very refreshing after a two day drive from FL. Drinking it while waiting for a couple selections from my haul to chill down. Speaking of my haul...

Did you get to go to any breweries while you where here?

Yeah, I've enjoyed most of the SS stuff, especially Athene. Definitely some variations, but this was the first that was really off. My buddy from FL made it sound like Bob has his brewery in a storage locker, not too far off I guess.

 

[bennie1986]

Having one of my Remembering Dad IPA's! I introduced him to real beer and turns out we had similar taste!

We had Cigar City on the agenda, but we found out once we got there that there weren't any tours available for Tuesday (the only day we could go) and my dad and brother said they didn't want to go just for the tasting room. I wanted to go, but I decided to just go with the flow in the interest of family relations. Sorry I couldn't get together for a drink. The week was packed with **** and I couldn't get away

 

[nukebrewer]

Crown Valley IIPA. Solid beer from a nice brewery in Missouri. Very citrus and floral hop aromas, bitterness is firm and asserts itself well as a IIPA, but it's not overbearing. Malt backbone is solid but restrained. Nice beer and would like to try more from this brewery.

Gatorade. Gotta hydrate and square myself away so I can start bright and early again in the morning. KILL

Interesting...

If you watch the video, that's pretty much what it is. The manager of my local liquor said if you go there in a bottling day, Bob will have you corking and labeling bottles, and pay you in beers. I'm going to make sure I go on a bottling day!

That blows, but family comes first. I was excited to see your reaction to the crazy sh*t they have in the taproom, they use their old brewery as the pilot system and come up with some really cool stuff. They barrel age, fruit, nitro, and age on additives (chicory, graham cracker, mango, papaya, peach, ect.) any and everything in the taproom. Hopefully you got to pick up some beers to take home with you.

Lagunitas maximus ... one of my go to beers

Awesome. In my experience, brewery volunteer time is always worth it...and fun in the process

That was the only Saint Somewhere that I brought back from Florida. I really enjoyed it.

Let me know when you're ready to try their other beers. Their normal IPA is mediocre but I have access to everything they brew.

 

[Fuzzymittenbrewing]

My Hard Root Beer, at 8.4% probably the nightcap.

 

[Dave1096]

It's OK, but I'm not the biggest fan of Mosaic hops. For some reason I feel the need to keep reminding myself of that.

 

[Rivenin]

I would drink GALLONS of this!

 

[tripplehazzard]

4 hands contact high. Pretty impressed. But for a wheat beer it tastes like a zesty IPA

Here's the pic..{~}

Well damn. I have not tried it quite yet

 

[Spraentart]

You definitely should. Nice to see you rockin' the 4 Hands as well. Contact High is awesome.

CCB Jai-Alai. It has been a month since my local liquor received any, amazing IPA.

 

[DisturbdChemist]

I decided to have a ballsy beer tonight lol
