danbanana posted:Apache is a good dude who sends good locals when FedEx completely massacres boxes. To end a short mini-vacation this weekend, I just cracked a Brew Hub Umatilla Coffee Barleywine. The cherries are subtle and enhance the fruitiness of the barleywine base. And there's a fuckton of vanilla that leads to a green pepper taste. So I guess that's the coffee, which is otherwise not terribly present. And then a ton of heat... So I looked at the bottle again and there's a stamp on this that says "barrel aged" and it has wax and the internet is telling me that this might be aged in Wild Turkey 101 barrels. And yeah, that's something that is definitely here. Apache, is this a BA'd version of this beer or was it all done so? Yes, that was the Wild Turkey 101 aged version. The barrels cut some of the coffee flavors. I think the other local extra I added was either Fionn or No Promises, either way definitely a dessert beer, both were very sweet, as the vast majority of the AC stuff is. Debating whether to drive out to Tampa Saturday at noon for the Imperial GCCS release or not. Also, it's been a while since anyone did a BIF randomized thing, so I guess I'll start one off again. Pick a number 1 to 100, winner gets their pick of one of the aforementioned Umatilla BA'd coffee bareleywine, CCB Ellipsing the Sun, or AC The Awakening coffee milk stout. I'll run the random number generator when I get home from work tomorrow around 5PM EST. Apache fucked around with this message at 12:16 on Jul 19, 2016 |

15! I went to Transient's Taproom on the way back from a MI family trip thing. Nothing that crazy on but they did have Cromulent which I chugged a bunch of at the Transient Chicago release. I got to bring home a growler of it this time which was wonderful. They had Cherry Maigre but it was a bit boring. Not much cherry. Also on tap was Vanilla Win Bigly which was excellent. Still haven't had the base though. Compusaurus fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Jul 19, 2016 |

JK MvB b3 is a good beer. Less sour than I remember but really funky. Funky cherry goodness. It gets even better as it warms.

Batch 3 is identical to batch 1 as far as pronounced cherry flavor. I found batch 2 to be more sour than both.

So what strain of beerhipster do I thank for making sours and gose beers popular? Used to be such a bitch hunting them down, but they're everywhere this summer.

I hit it on the way TO a MI (in-law) family trip thing! Got growlers of Cromulent and Obligatory to go. I like Obligatory better, but both are solid pales. I really liked Cherry Maigre and got a ton of cherry out of it. I'm not surprised you didn't because your palate is bad. The wheat saison was a little sweet for me. And they had Peanut Buckley on Friday which was even better than I remember at the party. Really loved the creaminess and how it cut the coffee bitterness just enough. Their instagram showed them installing a small canning line and saying that their first beer scheduled for that is a brett pale (not Wayward). That's exciting!

30! Drank Trillium and Omnipollo's Outside the Lines imperial stout last night. Brewed with vanilla, coffee and green cardamom. The latter really saved it from being generic; the floral spice added a nice extra dimension. Pretty good stuff. And a trade I was supposed to receive last week just finally shipped, gonna be getting some fun Fonta Flora and Mikerphone stuff in on Thursday. Will report back. Looks like Mikerphone gets a lot of hype in the Chicago area, we'll see if their funky stuff/saisons are worthwhile.

Mikerphone stuff sells out within an hour of being dropped off which confuses the gently caress out of me. His IPAs are barely above home brew level and everything else has just been meh / infected other than his Berliners which were solid...but he doesn't seem to be doing them right now. But then again, as Dan pointed out, my palate is bad.

Smells Like Bean Spirit was good! I would maybe buy that again if I saw it. Maybe. I had one of the IPAs on tap and cannot remember a thing about it so there's that. I would try his Berliners on tap but definitely not paying like $11 a bottle when I can get a sixer of Fierce for the same price (plus Transient takes all my money for Berliners anyway). That reminds me: Anyone seen this year's Yuzu Fierce yet? I heard "July" as a release. I drank my last one from 2015 about a month ago and it was surprisingly good despite being stuck in a cabinet that sits in a enclosed back porch that has no temperature control.

The smells like bean whatever I had (2nd batch??) was infected and tasted sort of like infected Bcbs coffee. I thought I saw yuzu fierce for August. I still have like half a case left. poo poo is still great and holds up well.

8 Had Sunken City from Insight Brewing Company. It was a decent saison/farmhouse at a crazy 7.8 abv. I'm not a huge farmhouse guy but I liked it. Additionally had Empty Rowboat IPA which was a good no name IPA from Lake Monster Brewing.

The two Mikerphone bottles I have coming are G Funk Era and Jibboo, you guys know anything about those? Reviews seem consistently good, and I love a wine-barreled mixed-fermentation saison so they seem up my alley.

26 And speaking of, Station 26 here in Denver has me hooked on Tangerine Cream ale. It tastes exactly like a Creamsicle without being overly heavy or sweet, which is exactly what I want for a super hot summer day. I've also been working my way through a lot of Odd13's catalog lately, and I've yet to have a beer of theirs that I didn't think was above average. They are all really loving weird, but enjoyable nonetheless. Hawaiian Bartender is probably my favorite right now, as it's another great summer beer.

96 I should probably post here more, but all I've really been doing i drinking 3-Way and assorted bits and bobs that came in the mail. Had some Smells Like a Safety Meeting earlier, and I thought it was the bomb. I then followed it up with a strawberry-flavored schwarzbier from Wild Wolf in VA, and I think it proves that I'll like any novelty flavor beer at least once.
