Hits Houston tomorrow! Should be pretty wide spread I'd imagine. I'll probably try to pick up a 4 pack of it and a bomber of SA Berliner.

Got mine early and have a surly coming in. Damn just realized

I need to pack up a trade. Been a busy weekend.

Last one. Ill miss it, it was very decent. I haven't had any of their regulars in so long that I need to go get some. I wasn't huge on them but its just been so long. Miss the oaked bastard also.

Had a Two Beers Forester DIPA when bbqing, a Two Beers Evolution IPA when eating, and will have an Oban 14 for a night cap in an hour or two.

Bought a couple of six packs of the go to and think its a wonderful session beer. Always cool bottles to home brew with too
 
Those things look beautiful. I know you've mentioned what they are before but perhaps you can remind me?

I've never had Blind Pig, but I will say Pliny was very underwhelming. And factoring in the ridiculous hype surrounding it, it was extremely underwhelming.

Thats pretty much how I feel. And to totally honest, with all the amazing IPA's that have come out in the last 1-2 years, I feel Pliny is just blending in with all of them. Its SO overhyped, and not really sure how its still in the top 3.


Call me a fanboy then. I had both only once. Loved pliny significantly more. Im up for an update though. Im overdue. cost me an ass load in shipping. But 6 dollar bottle was super awesome. Blessing to be local.Lo co or lo cal.

Like I said, to ME, Blind Pig is better. Doesn't mean it has to be for everyone. The hop aroma and flavor in the Pig was SO much brighter, fresher, and more of what I was looking for. The Pig was bottled 4 days ago, and the Pliny was bottled 1.5 weeks ago. So both are super fresh. Just prefer the Pig over the Pliny. If you want one of each in a trade to try them again we could probably work something out :)
 
Try to get the Yards Pugelist(I think). A great American example of a mild ale.

The hotel bar is overpriced and only had the pale ale and an English style called Brawler. It adds up at $6.50 per beer. Two was enough for tonight.

Hey you can pm me. If you think you like something from the Midwest, don't ask me for any Surly though I cant get any but I can hook you up with some that are worthy of pliny. Two brothers comes to mind, I like Cane and ebel a red rye ipa. As well as other Illinois stuff except Three Floydes which is technically IN. Most New Glarus stuff I only get once or twice a year also. Most Founders is easy for me. I could throw in some local Iowa stuff as well,which I think is above average. I cant get any Topling Goliteth stuff yet but am working on it,as they are working on distribution also.

I will say, though, I'm happy I had the chance to try it. It's not a bad beer, but it just can't compete with all the amazing IPA/DIPAs available. I'll have to try a Blind Pig one day.
 
Found 2 bottles of this hiding in the keezer when I went to carb up the red I kegged today.

Past their prime, which wasn't all that 'prime' to begin with

Not yet! All day in Philly tomorrow, then heading west. Should be making some brewery stops Tuesday...at least one...then maybe a bottle shop or good store.



Having a Yards Philadelphia Pale Ale right now. Meh. No urge to bring any of this one home.


Man! Do much fun ahead! Be safe!

Oh man, I love plantains. I had a dish one time that was fried plantains with slow cooked pork and topped with melted cheese. It was amazing. I'll be making these very soon.

Well, I did say the Pliny was my only Beer of the night.

Poured a glass of Jameson with a single ice cube. Not a full glass, about 2 oz.. Love this stuff!

Im hungry? :p Plus eff MOnday. !
 
Now a small pour of Redbreast 12 yr Irish Whisky. If you think Jameson is good, you havn't tried this. So much smoother. Amazing what 12 years can do.
