Looks like you had a nice December B-Dawg How are the 2011 Eclipses compared to previous years?

[B-Dawg]

It was an awesome month! By the by, anyone here on Untappd? It's an amusing novelty to be sure.

After seeing the brewer Todd post on BA that they addressed complaints about lack of body and bottle inconsistency, I can tell that the body is definitely improved. It's definitely no Bourbon County, but I like that. It stands up better to the barrel treatment now, but is still drinkable and not overwhelming. Bottles of EC 18, HH Rye, and BT I have tasted have all been awesome.

[shufon]

wlgeorge on Untappd. I've got a couple bottles of the Grand Cru and one EC 12 coming soon. Looking forward to the Grand Cru. Want to get some bottles of the EC 18 as well.

[shwanger]

Latest cop #NYEready

[shufon]

Opened a couple of bottles for New Year's Eve's Eve.

[shufon]

Starting NYE with this

[renski]

got some goodies from a trip up to norcal; rampage, pliny, 3L supplication.

[shufon]

3L Supplication is dope. Are the 3L sours fairly easy to get at the brewery?

[renski]

They put them out randomly. I'm not sure how often then do it but was pretty happy to get one. Hopefully spring time I could get a 3L sanctification and damnation. A 3L beatification would be awesome too.

[shufon]

No pic, but wow, this new Stone collab with Ninkasi and The Alchemist is possibly the best Stone beer I've ever had (I'm not a huge fan of them though). It's delicious. You guys should definitely buy it if you like hoppy beers.

[shwanger]

Went to a soft opening of Brooklyn Tap House in Clinton Hill area on Friday. Decent size inside and outside seating area (+a firepit outside), and an extensive selection of beers from what I can remember in my drunken stupor. New Yorkers should check it out!

[shufon]

What are the prices like at that place shwanger? 40 taps is pretty sweet, did they have bottles as well?

[shufon]

Also, yet another reason why I love buying beer in DC. The prices may suck but it's nice to be able to go into a store and buy Alpine IPAs on the east coast (not to mention Heady Topper, Surly Abrasive, etc all in the same location). Been drinking this for the past 2 nights:

[shwanger]

yep. bottles as well. prices are reasonable -- although im surprised a beer garden opened in this area...

[youkinorn2]

why?

[concealed]

I had some of that "More Black than Brown" IPA from StonexNinkasixAlchemist - it was good, way better than that last collab they did with the Bruery (Why put Yams in a beer?)

New Sierra Nevada spring seasonal "Ruthless Rye" IPA is awesome for $12 a 12 pack

Cambridge Brewing - Audacity of Hops was pretty tasty, pick it up if you see it

Jolly Pumpkin La Roja is an underrated/always available sour here in New England

[renski]

Anyone going to the upright release tomorrow?

[Layne]

My "big bottle" haul.

[shufon]

^Nice, BBQ is delicious.

^Nice, BBQ is delicious.

oh it's so good, especially as it starts to warm up.

the store had 4 bottles left. i convinced this guy who'd never had it to buy 2 and then i bought the last 2.... couldn't pass it up!

[shufon]

Was just blending Moo-Hoo, Wake n Bake, and Bourbon County. Nice blend

[youkinorn2]

My "big bottle" haul.

I was about to say "this looks like texas selection"

Hi All - I'm new to posting but this is by far one of my favorite threads (and activities). Got some Imperial Mucho Aloha IPA from Butcher's Brewing for Christmas and have made it one of my regulars. Anyone else had it?
