Holy shite, fresh surly abrasive is so delicious. Undoubtedly, the only DIPA that might touch topper.

Happy New Year folks.

It's rare when I get to try six full pours of beers I've never had, but i did that tonight at smoke and barrel. My wife made me drink this much, I swear. Unfortunately, only one was a true keeper, and unfortunately, it's not yet bottled. Probably should have just had a couple of the first one.

1. Foothills Jade IPA 8.5/10. Bottle this motherfucker already. Comparable to Zombie Dust and nearly as good.
2. Firestone Walker Velvet Merkin 7.5/10. I'd buy this is it were in a reasonably priced four pack instead of a hard to find expensive bomber.
3. Evil Twin/Westbrook Mini Growler 7/10. A reviewer described this beer as "manly". My wife liked it more than I did.
4. Against the Grain Atilla the Hen 6.5/10…noy bad maybe a tad too sweet and a tad too boozy at 13.2 abv.
5. Evil Twin Molatov Cocktail. 6/10. A 13.0% abv IPA. Ordered this one only because my wife insisted.
6. Allagash Midnight Brett.. 4.5/10. like cherry cola And I hate cherry cola.
I'm sure most of you ignored the raffle I posted about on here a while back, anyway, I ended up winning a box of beer from Block 15 in Oregon. Has anyone had it?

I should have it within the week.
Midnight Brett is disgusting - it smells like vomit and tastes only marginally better

i'm thinking that last year's debacle will have tempered demand (re: yada and JF's posts, above).  i hoping that hopslam is 1) better than last year, and 2) slightly easier to find.

if early reviews are ok, and i come across some, i'll probably snag it.  but there is too much other stuff that i'd rather have at the moment, at that price.
Got lots of Abrasive if any of you locals are up for a trade.
Whoa… drinking my first BAD Wings…

I picked up a sixer that was canned on 12/27 and the can I'm currently drinking is basically a drain pour. Smells awful and doesn't taste good either. Anyone else pick up this batch?
strangely enough, my first ever OTWOA was from that 12/27 canning.  i thought it lacked body (too thin) but it wasn't horrible.  hop aroma was really nice.

My first can wasn't drinkable… I poured it out after maybe drinking a bit of a 1/3rd of it.
thats what you get.
