state your beer, drinkers

[shufon]

Moving stuff around tonight and this bottle started spewing on me. Guess it wanted to be opened. Best saison I've ever had.

[indesertum]

^That it is, and I still haven't had it this year. Shame on me.

Kuhnhenn 4D vs BB4D for me tonight:

BB4D is the definite winner although the regular 4D is still great. Prefer HotD Adam though.

you're in ithaca????

[shufon]

Nah I live in NYC. I lived in Ithaca last year though.

[indesertum]

Lawson's Oak Aged Maple Fayston:

The rest of the tasting.. some nice beers:

Trying to kill these two at the end, mixed them together.. actually not too bad!

[renski]

any portland sufu'ers going to the upright release? I'm getting no bites offering up beer for that release...

[Layne]

Good stuff shufon. That Yeti must be kinda old... they changed those labels a while ago. Also, how was the Sue?

[shufon]

^Sue was good as always. And that Yeti is from this year, it's Barrel Aged Yeti (not Chocolate, Espresso, etc that you can find in stores, it's more limited). It was infected unfortunately.

[youkinorn2]

I want some barrel aged yeti in my life so, so bad

[shufon]

Haha I know how much you wanna try this. I'll open my bottle next time you're up here.

[Layne]

i've got a barrel aged yeti and it doesn't look like that... Maybe NYC gets that hella limited stuff! Also got the espresso that I need to open.

Relatively new brewery in Houston. Really enjoyed all their stuff.

[cinch]

This is pretty good stuff....

[cinch]

Opening up one of these to enjoy with dinner

[islandboi8204]

how was the lawson's shufon?

[shufon]

i've got a barrel aged yeti and it doesn't look like that...

It's probably Oak Aged Yeti. There are a lot of different variations you can get in stores regularly-- Oak Aged, Espresso, Chocolate, Belgian, and regular. Barrel Aged Yeti is aged in Stranahan's whiskey barrels (not just on oak) and until this year it was only available in Colorado for a limited time each year. Apparently they sent a few cases to a handful of states this year for the first time.

@islandboi-- Lawson's was very good, especially for being non barrel aged. Really smooth and I would've never guessed it was 10%. I want to get ahold of the barrel aged variations and do a side by side.

Haha I know how much you wanna try this. I'll open my bottle next time you're up here.

Sounds awesome. And I'll make you drink this whole bottle of rumpkin by yourself. It's going to be a short and crazy trip, but I'll try to bring some fun stuff when I come up the first week of may. Jester King sours and stuff.

Yeah, we don't get barrel aged great divide stuff down here. Yeti is always great, though (except the belgian yeast one).

Nice, been wanting to try Das Wunderkind. And I refuse to drink an entire Rumpkin by myself. I actually don't even think that's possible for me to do.

[HOLY]

All day long.

[destructodisk]

Nice haul at my door today:

[Nov Spur]

A few from the other night:

Was nice, refreshing and crisp. Right amount of hop, not like most of Victory's other brews which are often overdone.

Mediocre pale ale, only tried it off a recommendation from someone who used to live near the brewery.

[shufon]

^Whale's Tail sucks. The only things I've had worth drinking from Cisco are some of their Woods series beers, although they're pretty pricey. I've heard good things about the Island Reserve series they started recently but haven't tried any of the beers yet.

[youkinorn2]

Nice haul at my door today:

any of that ketchup beer?

[Nov Spur]

^Yeah it was pretty poor, especially given the price. Tried some of this tonight:

[shufon]

^^Haha a few oddities in there but no ketchup beer that I know of

[youkinorn2]

that was the cuir with bret, right?

[shufon]

^Brett Autumn Maple.

[shufon]

Woop.

[akiragreat]

This thing had some crazy carbonation. came right out of the bottle. no shaking nothing.

[shufon]

^What batch is that? Usually that beer pours fairly flat for me.

Oh and from Saturday afternoon:

For any New Yorkers who follow the thread, Downtown Bar and Grill in downtown BK has a sick bottle selection. I bought the 07 Doggie Claws there and then got an 07 Bourbon County to go. They have 08 and 11 Bourbon County as well
