danbanana posted:Well, it looks like I'm done drinking anything else for the summer... Holy gently caress Yes. In my beer stories, I was traveling around WI and MN for the past 8 days. One of my favorite stops was at Fair State Brewing in Minneapolis where I got 4 bottles to take home. The bartender tracked me down on facebook because he gave me the wrong bottle and since they were in bags I never looked. I probably wouldn't have noticed until I went to actually drink them and realized I would have never bought a smoked wheat sour. But luckily, despite the semi-weird stalking, I was able to just swap the wrong one for what I ordered and got a free pour out of the deal. Good thing I didn't delete my facebook acct yet? But seriously even without that Fair State was really solid (good ipa, good pils, good to great mixed fermentations). Recommended if you're ever in Minneapolis. E: Also for JP stuff, the new brewpub here is sponsoring my Ultimate league. So that is cool. ChiTownEddie fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Jun 4, 2018 |

We get a bunch of Off Color in Oregon and it mostly sits on shelves I wouldn't think so but I've heard some of their smaller batch stuff has gone out of the area so who knows. I wonder how the new location will change that, too. A follow up tweet said its available now at the Mousetrap so I might be figuring out a time to get there sooner rather than later...

Quick Grand Rapids Trip Report: Greyline - Ruled. A number of good beers were on tap (all the IPAs I tried, DryPA, the basic stout) and I regretted nothing. Dinosaur Jr., Misfits, and Replacements for music helped the 3 PM on a Wednesday crowd feel it. Vivant - Interesting brews, real cool set up, very friendly people. Beer was mostly just ok outside of Tart of Darkness but it was a real cool set up City Built Brewing - Decent number of beers, cool brewery, but I wasn't sold on a lot of what I drank. Tasty, but not great in most cases. Really enjoyed their Gerald Fjord table beer but otherwise thought it was somewhat forgettable, despite my desire for Fluffy Pink Unicorns to be good (it was not) Founders - This is a crazy neat facility, very similar to Troegs but in a downtown environment, but I don't think I can do any more of Founder's beers. Everything was so sweet, to pain of death. Double Trouble, Black Barleywine, everything was just so sweet I got diabetes just looking at them. Just say no. Except for the beer cheese. That was delicious. Saugatuck Brewing Company - They actually had a number of good beers. I recommend them even though it is kind of in the middle of nowhere.

Cycle stouts are tapping on the toes of "too sweet" and that's the only other thing I can think of, but I haven't had the hyped stouts from Hidden Springs. No one else is really aping the beetus pastry stouts because it's too loving hot outside to drink that stuff. Edit: oh wait there's garagiste and the handful of cideries around like CCCM but that doesn't count.

Whoops yeah you're right. CCB is kind of the origin of it all because Ryan from AC and Doug from Cycle both used to work at CCB. It's funny how most of the tampa pastry stouts are mutations of zhukov.

i love you, Triple Crossing, but come the gently caress on "Soldiers of Summer 4% Berliner Weisse featuring 100% Raspberries which was brewed in collaboration with @hopculturemag and will be poured at Juicy Brews Invitational. Along with Soldiers of Summer there will be accompanying glassware, three separate labels for this beer randomly released throughout the day and 3 other cans (1 announced later today). We are shooting for 250 cases at $17.50 per 4 pack (1 case limit)."

I can't wait for unlabeled beer can lootboxes. You don't know what's inside until you pop the top! Could be an adjunct lager, could be a stale IPA, could be a holiday Charizard, who knows.

Been spending most of my drinking time on Highland Park's dry-hopped & unfiltered pilsners; perfect for the beginning of summer in LA and slamming a can of the latter on the walk to Dodger stadium from the new Chinatown location is a treat in itself.

This is literally what my wife does for a job, makes up these boxes. Some of them are genuinely very very good. It's a competitive market just now so you're getting some really great boxes as the companies try to compete with each other. There will always be some dud boxes but in general they seem good.

Short notice, but hey SoCal guys, what super-new places should I be checking out? Special interest: Temecula, North Park, San Marcos/Vista, and Anaheim. Planned stops are Refuge, Fall, Burgeon, Mother Earth, Lost Abbey, Twisted Horn Meadery, Noble Ale Works. I'd like to hit Green Cheek but they're dark on Mondays, so any places that pour or (ideally) sell crowlers of their stuff would be welcome suggestions. I'm leaving tomorrow morning, doing Hessfest and Stone Sourfest and all of the above. PM me today if you want to grab a beer - I don't forum on my phone.
