SNPA is bottle conditioned for two weeks and doesn't leave the warehouse until that's done

and it's not some dumb double dry hopped milkshake ipa, it can handle a month or two in the bottle/can without falling apart

That's great, the reality of SN being at least 6 weeks old the day it arrives in stores and being a bulk buy beer means in reality it's 6-9 months old by the time you usually buy it.

But yeah fresh IPA is a hypebro trend

Dammit :smithcloud: Plus side, that justifies me doing a music fest in Montreal instead during that time of year then...

The Pinthouse and Firestone Electric Union collab turned out awesome. Got exactly what they promised: a hazy ipa with kolsch yeast.

This thread is too quick to mock people. I get that you're all old jaded beer curmudgeons who are too good for pastry stouts (unless they taste like green peppers) but Jesus. The guy liked a beer and wanted to share that with the thread. I get that you're all past stocking your cellars with the flavor of the week and the hoarding advice (plus the unfortunate spelling mistake) are probably the major issue here but still.

I'm sure a lot of it was good natured ribbing and most of you are probably fun to hang out with in person but a lot of you come off as assholes online.

Sorry having flashbacks to the response when I first popped into the thread and talked about razzling beers so I gotta stick up for incoherent.

"Do you have any New England style pale ales?"

"Well actually *adjusts glasses and suspenders* New England style pale ales do not exist. The BA classifies them as Hazy or Juicy pale ales.

But I'm legitimately interested. Based purely on the descriptions here, it sounds like the old separation between English and American IPAs. What specifically makes a pale ale Australian? The hops?

From the description it sounds like they're aping west coast IPAs but with less bitter/piney hops and more of the new fashioned varieties of pacific hops, also likely lower malt flavor.

When you drainpour them, they swirl in the opposite direction as American IPAs. Duh.

What are some breweries I should hit in Denver and Boulder? I hear it's a real craft beer hub. I like lagers, goses, pale ales, IPAs sparingly. Not a lot of sweet malt or dark malt. Not sure if that matters for brewery recs.

Failed to take the temperature of the room, which is the ultimate poster sin. I'll just be more measured (and run it through spell check). TY my dude.

Also, for day 2 at week of logic I had a wonderful sour wine barrel aged called "Iris Pseudacorus". Hellish parking was still hell, so no change on that front.

Don't upset the echo chamber.

But everyone here is cool as poo poo and has strong opinions about stuff. For instance, Compusaurus has a loving awful palate. So don't let it bother you. Promote your jams as you see fit.

Fun fact, while opening some bottles on Saturday I had to explain what a "neckbeard" is.
Didn't help that I had the most actual neckbeard at the table.

Long story short...drink what you want/like.

GOODNESS I WONDER WHY

fr fr Geyser Gose is a much more uh, characterful beer than they usually use for Andalls. I wonder if anyone will even notice it under the dragonfruit-passionfruit triple raspberry margarita creamsicle treatment.

Eh, some of the stout variants are probably good? French pressing coffee + stout is pretty tasty. Or at least interesting.

The fruit ones are more wtf. Just give in to your alcoholism and put vodka in that morning smoothie already.

The biggest issue, to me, is that The Answer is a legit brewery that makes pretty good beer so you assume the andall beers are using beer that was brewed in house. They don't say anywhere that the andall beers are just commonly available stouts and goses that they cram adjuncts into. They will tell you if you ask, but it feels dirty? To me if that makes sense.

Yeah, we've had the conversation in this thread before about how not-quite-but-kinda dishonest it is. I don't even know that I'd call them "a legit brewery" in the first place. Yeah, they make good IPAs, but so do a thousand other breweries. That doesn't make you special anymore. All they brew is those IPAs and a stout every couple months that's usually a collab with a better brewery and has coffee, vanilla and coconut. Crowlers are 2pp and sell out in a couple hours. Et cetera.

I wonder what their margin even is on the $20 crowlers of Double Blood Peach Popsicle. I wonder if they even keep track of that.
