The Beer Thread

this past weekend's brew-a-thon was brought to me by Undercover Shutdown Ale, Space Dust and Duvel… and a few homebrews (takes some to make some).

Had a single of the Shutdown Ale…all of those high abv Lagunitas kind of run together for me so I'm not sure if i've had that one before or not…but I really liked it. May have to get more, though it's not really a Spring/Summer beer.

Speaking of great Lakes, i just bought chillwave.  I hope it is good.  And stone, enjoy by 4 / 20.

I think it was 2014 that I drank a ton of chillwave and loved it… last year every time I saw a six pack around the city it was already 60 days old, so I typically passed.

I haven't drank an enjoy by in a few years, rubbish.

He complains about the lack of freshness of one DIPA, then pans the one nationally distributed DIPA that is bound to be fresh on 3/30/16. Some people are just whiners. Go drink some wine, whiner.  ;)

Because that "fresh" DIPA tastes like shit!

I enjoy this banter.  it makes me want to go have a beer, at ten thirty in the morning.  I just noticed, the clock on here has finally, caught back up.

But damnit, it's KBS on draft.

last time i had KBS on draft was 2 or 3 years ago with brennser and stevewizzle.  we were somewhat underwhelmed.  it was hot, the alcohol heat hid the finer points of the beer.  i'm more excited about the sweet repute and better half.

assuming that KBS bottles will be about $10 each (maybe $30 a four pack if lucky), imma gonna hafta think long and hard about whether or not it's worth the price.

So teleworking and skipping KBS at Churchkey today. Will have to wash away the sorrow of missing it with the growler of Rodenbach Vintage that's in the fridge.

Also, KBS is coming in on the truck today to a store in upstgate New York where my mom lives. I've got her on the case. Or at least onto a four pack…or whatever they'll sell her. Bound to be less competition to score bottles up there than here…

How pissed is Space going to be when his mom's scores a case of this

And my mom is officially a beer mule. $23.99+tax+deposit for a four pack. Could also ask my brother too, but maybe that would be greedy and he's busy with a job and shit.

something about Grunion Pale Ale makes me not even want to try it.

Grundle + onion flavored beer?

Chillwave, is good, sort of on par with other good beers of the sort.  But, enjoy by weed day beer, stands out and destroys.  I want to get as much as possible.

also, I tried a sort of sour beer, as it is called, from boulevard, tell tale tart.  I liked it and now have this sort of passion to get into sour beers, having never really tried sour beer or know much about them.  basically, where should I go to next for an excellent sour in bottle from a beer store, that sells good beer and rips you off on the price, just like any small business owner, will.  thank you.

the problem with us making recommendations is that we have no idea what you have access to.  you could talk to the folks at the beer store.  maybe someone there can recommend something that they have in stock.

tell tale tart is on the low side of sourness.  just giving you a heads-up before you end up with something really, really sour (unless you think you're going to like the intensity).  just like with hops, i find that most folks work their way up (down?)  the ladder.  i would enquire about "gose" and "berliner wiesse", two nice and tart styles.  Ommegang's Rosetta is another nice one.

aren't you all helpful.  thank you.  I bet all the beer ladies, throw themselves, at you.

all the beer ladies…that term doesn't exist
(I know that's sexist, but I saw more women at punk shows in the 80s than you do at a beer event/brewery)

Wifes, of beer nerds.  There.  They all want to hop your homebrew bone.
