MunchE posted:The thing is it's only some shocking circus sideshow if you're somehow fooled by the notion that "Small Town Brewery" could possibly not actually be a tiny brewery from a small town and just a marketing name. No, I'm quite certain that the articles and podcasts and associated bufoonery is the circus regardless of whether or not I'd ever even heard of this thing I don't want to drink before "everyone" knew the truth.

I still have some remaining from that box since I tried a couple of bottles and then quietly forgot about them. On a different aside, are the Oregon people going to be at de Garde for the August release? I'll be coming up again with some friends and it'd be nice to hang out.

If you would like to do a bottle share around GABF, please shoot me a PM with the following: -Approximate number of people you are bringing, including yourself -Days/times when available -Any space you have available for a share and its estimated capacity Once I have that, I'm willing to do the legwork on getting the rest of it together. It might seem a bit far out timewise, but on the odd chance we have as large of a group as last year, I'd like to be able to snag another cool place to get together and drink beer.

Thank Eejit for doing the work to put together a share during GABF. Last years was a ton of fun. Now that tickets have been sold, who is going to be at GABF sessions or other events? I'm doing What the Funk (managed to get a VIP ticket!) and the Friday evening GABF session. Never been to the actual event before, pretty excited for it even though it will be a poo poo show. Anybody who is in town for GABF and vising Fort Collins should shoot me a message, I would love to meet up for a beer with anyone who is in town.

I'll still be going because I'm picking up a zhukov from a friend but I doubt I'll really grab anything because it's going to be hot as hell tomorrow a bunch of BBA stouts out of a plastic cup sound totally awesome for 90degF and 100% humidity (assuming it rains)

He tried pawning off a bag of vodka infused cherries that were leftover on my friends last year for zhukov brunch and one time gave me his session berliner weisse one time because after he got it he noticed it was 1% and didn't want it.

I didn't make it out to Cycle last time I was in Tampa but Pegs was the greatest brew pub I've ever been to. Everyone was so nice and it had such a nice relaxed vibe. I could have stayed there all day.

krustster posted:This reminds me of the period of time where Belgian strong dark ales and tripels all tasted like tomato soup or spaghetti-o's to me. The other posts about brett sometimes being a dice roll make sense, although the ketchup/tomato soup thing seems to be a "once you notice it, you can't un-notice it" type of thing. In those cases it still technically tastes the same way to me but I associate it with something else... Glad to know I am not alone on this one. Maybe I can convince my brain to think pizza instead of ketchup.

I wouldn't bring anything aside from cash and bags for a potential bottle release. Maybe you could bring some water/gatorade to deal with the heat since I doubt you're used to summer down here.

At the very least it happens in the inevitable line that forms hours before they open. edit: There probably won't be a huge line actually, that only tends to happen during Tampa Beer week, but the comment about bottle shares stands. Its not necessary but could be a good way to meet people since you are new to the area.

Pirate Noir is irritatingly flat. Like, it tastes on the third sip the way a comparable BA stout does after it sits out for an hour.

i do not like Christmas/pumpkin beers and similar because they are so overly-spiced that they no longer seem like beer to me. i feel Aztec leans way more in that direction than the likes of Hunahpu's and Mexican Cake, which are really good stouts that happen to have some stuff in them (and they don't taste like toothpaste). drinking a goon-provided CW Space Ghost right now and am enjoying it far more.

I don't know practically anyone here in this massive slow-moving line. It's so depressing and confusing given that I can remember being at CCB events with literally 50-75 people in the old brewhouse. This is like twice the people that were at Hunah 2010.

I was 186. I got in after about an hour of doing literal nothing in line. Apparently you could walk up and get beer and walk back to the line. Oops. It was fine ultimately and I got bottles on a day where I didn't realize it was possible. Cool I guess. I just wanted to see a friend and maybe have some cool beer on tap and I walked out with Waelz so uhhhhh success I guess? Sorry I'm loving dying of heat stroke.
