Rocking some bison sweet potato chili made with some a touch of Velvet Merkin while sipping a Pipeworks 'Hey Man, Got a Beverage Here!' Need to get me some Backwoods Bastard ASAP.

funkybottoms posted:the dude i posted about earlier finished up his day at Mekong with an entire Dark Lord to the dome (he had at least one Dirt Wolf during the afternoon) and then a BCBS run through a coffee randall. good lord. The Reverend + Clown Shoes Sombrero + w00t Stout + Dirt Wolf + BCBS + Dark Lord = an entire weeks worth of drinking crammed into a day. That dude has problems. My night included a Dragon's Milk followed by a sixer of PBR during kickball. We lost the game but I drank six beers so who's the real winner? deedee megadoodoo fucked around with this message at 02:58 on Nov 1, 2013 |

Cervixalot posted:Sounds delicious. Good idea. Backwoods is the single best beer Founders makes. Yes, better than KBS and even CBS. At least in my jerkface opinion. Opened a Flat 12 Half Cycle IPA, which was an instant drain pour. Undercarbonated and just kind of generally unpleasant to drink. Followed it up with their amber, which wasn't anything great but it was solid. Last up is the Central Waters BA Scotch Ale which is really drat good though it's no Backwoods.

I thought w00t was really good. Sadly it disappeared before I could pick up another bottle or two. I thought it would be great in another 6 months. Pecans are awesome.

It's an excellent beer. However people on BA would have you believe it is garbage because it sits on shelves and you don't need to wait in a line to get it. Take that same exact beer and make it "hard to get" and people will go crazy for it.

So in 2011 I cracked a can of 2009 Ten Fidy and it happened to be on the date the beer turned two. After a long day, it felt like tonight was a good night to pop an Abyss 2012. Checked the side of the bottle, curious to see when Deschutes said it's best after. I jumped the gun by two hours, apparently. Uncanny. For what it's worth, it's very very solid at the moment but I'm going to put another 9 months on the rest before trying another from last year.

Goose Island's black friday ticket link is up (onsale tomorrow at noon CST): http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/508975 As cool as last year was, I don't think it's worth 75 bucks to me, especially with FoBAB in the same month. I'll take my chances in stores.

wattershed posted:Okay, so Furious Lobster and Capt. Awesome, thoughts about showing up earlier to Alesmith? I could do probably as early as 4:15-4:30 depending on work tasks. Capt. Awesome posted:Hell yea. That works a lot better for me anyways. Not sure about bottle sharing inside Alesmith, but we could pull up a bumper and drink out of the back of someones car, tailgate style! Although, that's probably frowned upon. I'll be down there earlier in the day as well so I can be there at 4 PM no problem. Just in case we do find a spot, I'll bring the beers talked about earlier in a cooler because I plan to stop by Alpine before heading to Alesmith anyways.

I may be up at Alpine before Alesmith too depending on whether we get to it earlier in the week. I need to at least try to beg for the scrapings from the bottom of the Monus keg.

Real men, on their birthday, funnel a Tactical Nuclear Penguin mixed with 99 Bananas shnapps, chase it with fireball whiskey, and wake up in their neighbor's front lawn the next day. (no, this wasn't me, but yes, I bought the Penguin)

If it's a better value, cool beans - but the pricing I've seen in my area isn't in line with that. Also it's probably just the fallacy of "I like drinking more of it, and it's easier to open one big bottle than two smaller ones."

I didn't even look at how many sessions GI was doing, but last year, their setup probably only held 100 or so people. So 3 sessions means only 300 people means fewer tix than FOBAB.

As much as I'm super excited about BCBS releases this year, I don't think i'm going to bother waiting in line anywhere. I'm staying the gently caress away from Binnys in Lincoln Park as I know it will be a madhouse the week following release. Plenty of sleeper spots around Chicago where the variants (at least BCBBW, BCBCS and BCBS) should be easily scored with much less hassle.
