state your beer, drinkers

[shufon]

My palate was a bit worn down by that point in the day, but I remember being kinda let down by Wild One. It was both sweeter and less sour than I expected. Mouthfeel was nice, taste was decent, but overall the beer was not as impressive as I was expecting. My opinion might be skewed due to having had sours I thought were much better that day though. Regardless, it's worth at least trying, and if you don't like it I'm sure you won't have a problem trading your other bottles

check table & vine w. springfield, ma (if you are near hartford) - thats where I got mine

Coworker is going to Rome. She asked if I wanted anything. All I could think of was laundry list of cantillon (fou foune, rose de grambrinus, and vigneronne). Am I missing something?

[shufon]

The Armand 4 series definitely. I'm not sure if they are sold outside of Belgium but they're worth putting on the list, especially Lente. Also, there are a lot of Cantillon bottles you can't get in the US that you should have her look for. Again, they might only really be found in Belgium but it's worth a shot.

[renski]

I think those are only available in a few places. I found 3 legit shops and sent them an email to see what they have but I'm not too worried, another friend is going to Belgium for summer. Will have a bigger list for her. Haha.

^Just got a free iPhone replacement. New camera lens is nice

This stuff is delicious. $15 for a 750 off the shelf, Witbier fermented once with brett, once in Chard barrels, and then bottle fermented. Blows Zwanze 2010 away.

i got an older 3g and its very far from the original apple settings, to say the least

Anchorage is good, but I just can't afford to pay $15 for a bottle of beer these days.

Did you finish up with school? Working in the city?

[shufon]

1 more semester of school, in the process of getting a hedge fund started. looking at about a 6 month time horizon til everything is up and running.

Opened a few things with some friends tonight while we came up with the game plan for the Captain Lawrence release this Saturday

[renski]

nice! i attempted to drink a bells oracle.. it ended up a drain pour for me. too sweet and alcohol heat and no hops.

Jester King Commercial Suicide

Dark mild brewed with oak chips. Nice malty sweetness and body (especially for such a low abv beer). Vanilla and dark fruit from the wood. Kind of plummy as it warmed up. As you can see, it had a LOT of carbonation, which was sort of unexpected.

[moykky]

So good, traditional Finnish beer (from barley malt).

[shufon]

Random shots from this morning..

Had Lente and Herfst. Surprisingly thought Herfst was better. Also had Deviation out of a pitcher, which was awesome

Too lazy to take pics of my haul, will post them later. I'm going to sleep for now.

[youkinorn2]

Glad I got to try this. First sour (and one of the first few beers bottled period) by 512. It was ok. Not very complex and a little too much balsamic vinegar taste for me. Kind of reminded me of an inferior, vastly less sour La Folie - although the fruit flavors were actually pretty different, if I recall correctly...way more apple in the La Folie.

b-dawgs and shufons latest posts have me foaming at the mouth!

convinced my roommates to chip in a few dollars with me and grab a sierra nevada winter celebration pony keg for tonight, very standard but better than drinking 12 pbrs when on a budget :V

So is the rumpkin really worth it? i had a pretty big beer buy today, but skipped out on this cuz i had some hesitations. to be quite honest, the $10 per 12 oz bottle definitely didn't help.

[shufon]

Haha it is an odd (sweet) beer but I actually liked my 6oz when I had it. If I get a chance, I'll probably pick up a couple more so I can see how it is in a couple of years.

[youkinorn2]

you have one coming from me, still.

I'm just waiting until I have other stuff to send, too.

[shufon]

Just got a bottle of Fou Foune for a bottle of Hill Farmstead E straight up. Can't believe this beer will pull so much
