how's oracle?

i'm right there with you on the wings hype.

Their regular porter is one of my three favorite year round six pack porters, along with Founders and Great Lakes. Wish DC Brau would can PQP year round, because nearly as good as those three, imo.

'twas me.

that's an under-the-radar, oh shit this is amazing, type of beer.

there's a healthy stock at p st whole foods for $6.99.

I passed on oracle, still feeling like bell's ripped me off with 2013 hopslam.

I did pick up Stone 17th and Enjoy By 9.13.13.

Haven't had the 9/13, but in general have been disappointed by all of the past "enjoy by" bottles.

You know when the Wings was brewed? Just curious since their last batch was made in July.

just pur it in a growler and it will be fresh forever

The guy I asked said two to three weeks ago and that they should have another batch canned within the next two weeks.

I thought this years Oracle is consistent with previous years.  The aroma of it is huge, it's great, very piney, definitely going for a pacific northwest profile.  I think my batch was bottled August 9th, so quite fresh.  In my opinion, it's not the best balanced beer.  The 10% abv of it does make it come off a bit too boozy/bitter sometimes but other than that, which I don't have a problem with, i really like it.

i snagged an oracle last night for my fantasy football draft.

it was tasty.  didn't get a huge nose.  would drink again, but would rather spend my money on sculpin or something more balanced.

Finished the last of my Heady Topper supply last night.

I am sad.

finally got to try rubaeus.  that's a damn nice fruit beer.  the missus is in love with the stuff but can't drink it much at the moment.  i've been given orders to find more - hopefully the stuff will keep for a month or two.  doesn't seem like a beer that was made for cellaring but gotta get while the gettin' is good.

I bet it would make a great float with Ben and Jerry's Liz Lemon.

Actually, I sort of mixed the two over the weekend and it was quite tasty.
