state your beer, drinkers

[islandboi8204]

Fuuuuuuuu.... it's a good beer but I really didn't anticipate it being this limited. I guess I was lucky enough to be in the right bottle store at the right time.

[aho]

^still depressed that I missed out...my friend works at one of the better liquor stores in the area and as much as I bothered him about snagging me a bottle (and he usually does), I dropped the ball on this...There goes my beer tasting I had in line (CBS, KBS, Breakfast Stout) for later this year...

[shufon]

Got a growler of Hill Farmstead Abner from a friend tonight and drank it with youkinorn. Was an awesome IPA, possibly the best one I've had from HF yet. Youkinorn opened his bottle of Parabola after that. Reminded me of BCBS after aging it 2-3 years. Good stuff

[islandboi8204]

i agree, i like abner more than ephraim. i had a growler of ephraim the other night and it tasted kinda like onions haha. maybe it was the fill and hopefully the next one i have coming is better. i'm going to try abner on tap again today..

[shufon]

Been a long ass week.. first beer since that Parabola last Friday.

Also, anybody else here use Untappd?

[Happy Hooligan]

I'd be careful putting "bastard" on my beer bottles.

[islandboi8204]

what's untapped?

currently splitting a growler of bad boy with my gf. thanks ren! super delicious and boozy

[shufon]

Untappd is like Foursquare/twitter/tumblr for beer. I just got it on my phone. Seems like another good time wasting website/app, haha

[shufon]

Backwoods Bastard was a joke compared to this beast

Bourbon Barrel Aged 4th Dimentia

[islandboi8204]

Yeahhhh shufon can't rep but good stuff!

dat pumpkin

[scientifick]

been meaning to buy a four pack of the dogfishhead pumpkin, anyone tried it? also if anyone can get their 120 minute i would love to do a trade.

my friend broke my favorite snifter, recovering with yuengling black and tans cause they are on sale

[islandboi8204]

i had a 120 last night, PM me if you wanna swap something

[shufon]

@scientifick - Have you had 120 before? It's pretty gross in my opinion. If you really want to try it though, post an ISO thread on beeradvocate. You can probably land a couple bottles with good NC locals.

edit: nevermind, talk to islandboi.

The pumpkin ale is really quite good. Pretty different from what I'd expect from DFH too. The only complaint I have is that its only a 7%er so its really not value for money if you're looking to get more than a buzz off a 4.

Found a case of Kronenbourg in the US for the first time today. Score.

[soonami]

Punkin' is pretty hoppy for a pumpkin beer. I rather enjoyed the draft version earlier this fall

[Happy Hooligan]

I had my first Russian River Temptation. Delicious, but I think it ran through me like a river...

[youkinorn2]

DFH Punkin is my jam.

Shufon is a hater.

[shufon]

^Lmao. You still down to try Rumpkin? I think I'm gonna head down on Sunday and see what's up.

Oh and I liked Punkin the first time I had it back in 08 but the last few times I've tried it I haven't been able to get past the clove. I'm not huge into pumpkin beers though.

This is terribad logic, the ABV should never be your deciding factor on whether you are getting good value. I liked Punkin when I first tried it back in the day, but not so much any more.

The Sixpoint I posted was real interesting, the pumpkin was really mild, but it was wet-hopped, very strange combination, but I enjoyed the beer.

I picked up a bottle of Cambridge Brewing's Great Pumpkin Ale, will probably drink it this weekend. I also cant resist those Boulevard Smokestack 4pks (double wide ipa, tank 7 saison, and the imperial stout) 11$ for 4 awesome beers.

edit: Did a little writeup on the ~5 new micro/nano breweries in the Boston area over at my blog, check it out if you are so inclined.

[twistedtrees]

I've been very obsessed with the Citra hops lately. It culminated in me getting some Zombie Dust yesterday

[shufon]

^Still need to try that stuff. Youkinorn and I were at a small tasting last night, got in on a bottle of Marin Cuvée Roge from GABF this year. That stuff was amazing, wish bottles were easier to come by.

[scientifick]

no never tried it, mostly just curious. the 90 is one of my favorites.

marin has some good offerings. i like the white knuckle IPA but its hard to find down here,i should have stopped by on the way to RR .

[shufon]

^Yeah I was very surprised honestly. It was my first Marin beer and I didn't really now anything about the brewery.. had it right after a 2003 De Cam Oude Lambiek and it was waaaay better than the De Cam in my opinion.

[the Repeater]

Brooklyn's isn't bad either, but if I recall, lot of cinnamon and sweetness.

[scientifick]

tonight (not my pic);

switching it up a bit. 2 of my roommates are semi-obsessive red oak fans.

[Phrost3]

a little too sweet from the cherry juice, but pretty good

[gruntle]

What I'm drinking this week.

[renski]

If any of you guys need a mule for black Tuesday shoot me a pm. I'm willing to do a few pickups for people.
