state your beer, drinkers

[TPR950H]

There's a local specialty beer store gets Sculpin in cans. All the grocery stores including whole foods gets the bottles.

I don't think there's any scientific basis and it's all placebo but just about any craft beer I've had tasted better in cans (talking about those that have glass bottle counterparts).

 

I guess you get lower temp with canned beer? i'm having greenflash mosaic session now because someone recommended. FML. should have gotten hops and grain. 

 

everything tastes better from a can.  even soda.  i take the can over bottle of anything any day.

 

edit: unless you're aging it/aged stuff.  but that stuff never comes canned.

If you get the chance, try Death and Taxes. Yummy stuff, though only on tap in the SF Bay area. I never get tired of it.

i've never been impressed with goose island. it's just like whatever

[domdomdomdom]

Eh prop is pretty good, but I agree with you regarding most other variants.  

 

That snifter is from Bottle Logic.

[Layne]

The bourbon county variants are tasty... hyped but tasty.  I drank the barleywine last night and it was bourbon barrel caramel.  I'll fuck with those fruited sours too.

[Redstar*]

Anyone going to Bottle Logic's location on the 30th to get their new bourbon barrel aged stout?

[domdomdomdom]

Yes.  I've still got a few Darkstar November bottles left but I'm maxing out and bringing my girlfriend to max out too.  I'll probably be there around 4:15-4:30

[Redstar*]

I'm gonna try and get there around 4:00. Traffic from Torrance is gonna suck but whatever. For the beer.

Picked up another growler of Victory Kirsch Gose, a cherry gose (sour, salty ale) that is one of my all time favorite beers since first tasting it about a month ago. If you have not tried gose I highly recommend it.

[herpsky]

I haven't really had gose. I guess i'll need to give one that a try. I really haven't seen any around here. 

[Layne]

^ real ale gose is all over the place, boulevard hibiscus gose gets distributed to TX when it's available.

 

diff style but redbud from independence brewing is a great beer for our summers.  it's labeled as a Berliner weisse but it's def more tart than your standard BW

 

I'm all over that oasis meta modern ipa lately... it's so light and delicious.

[Kaf]

Chimay

[xchen]

This week's growler fill is Orpheus Transmigration of Souls, a local DIPA clocking in at 10% - pretty damn good, very drinkable for such a high ABV.

 

Also got a big growler of Red Hare Root Beer (also local to ATL).

 

Has anyone had Not Your Father's Root Beer? Alcoholic root beer @ 5.9% - sooooooo good.

 

Other recent beers I've had that were really good:

 

Stone Delicious IPA

Creature Comforts Athena (Berliner Weisse)

[Layne]

a friend of mine from MS sent me a can of that transmigration DIPA.  it was a week old and SO juicy... tons of melon and way too drinkable for 10%

 

wanna send some cans to TX

[ProfMonnitoff]

Does anyone have recommendations for lesser known Belgians? I'm currently in Antwerp and am enjoying all the widely available ones (Westmalle Tripel, Chimay, Rochefort, Hoegaarden Grand Cru, etc) but am also keen to try out some rarities.

 

I tend to prefer strong hoppy beers, but will try anything.

[Layne]

^ if you like sours go get your dick wet at cantillon

 

and ship some fou foune to texas

Creature comforts Athena is a great sour from Athens. Their tropicalia IPA is world class. Best beer coming out of Georgia by far

[herpsky]

Terrapin is goatie

That oasis beer with a fan(?) is p good. I've been buying yellow rose a lot.

[herpsky]

Very indifferent bout stone delicious

[herpsky]

I miss 21st amendment session. I used to cop in Atlanta (I know it's from the bay but still

[herpsky]

Terrapin wake and bake is pretty life changing

[xchen]

Had a 3 oz pour of Terrapin liquid lunch pb&j porter yesterday.

Also had Stone Ruination 2.0, founders devil dancer, and Allegash session Brett. Took a growler of creature comforts tropicalia.

Going to Brick Store Pub this afternoon, gonna get some sours hopefully.

[domdomdomdom]

picked these up today after work

 

[Redstar*]

Very nice. Got my share too.

Met this cool dude in line that let me use his girlfriend as a mule so I could get some for my friends as well. Really a great beer!

[Layne]

^^ hook me up with a bottle, i'll send some TX treats

[xchen]

Layne I'm on the lookout for local stuff to send your way. Got a sixer of habanero sculpin finally. Going to give 4 away and keep 2 for myself. Haven't tried yet.

[Layne]

I couldn't fuck with that habanero. I love spicy food but it was just one-note heat and killed the awesome flavor of sculpin. Some of my friends love it but it wasn't for me.

[domdomdomdom]

layne we might be able to do something.  let me see if I can get a few more bottles first, just traded a bunch of bottles for DBH and some other stuff

[herpsky]

if you guys want to do bottle exchange (I don't really know the logistics - sending beer by mail...? that's, like, illegal, right?), let me know. 

 

i think layne and i have access to similar-ish material, but i can source hops and grain, JK, and other hill country exclusives.
