Anyone else going to woodshops in SD this weekend? I should be there in the morning but I don't have any bottles to share so not sure how long I will stay. This is my first time going, not sure what to expect.

Ajaarg sighting in that press release. Limon Cello is amazing, and my rating of it propelled it to the number one beer on the front page of Ratebeer for a day because I think it's actually one of the most interesting beers Shawn has ever made.

Agreed on the Limoncello. I really liked that one. It doesn't taste like an IPA, but it's definitely something.

Westbrook BA Mexican Cake release set for this Saturday. Gonna be crazy. I had thought about trying to go this year, since I made the regular release, but no way I can swing it this Saturday.

There are also beers on taps and judging from what I've been reading, the tap list should be quite good. I went last year for the first time and brought Chez Monus and some 750; this year I'm thinking about bringing SdF, Cask Strawberry and maybe Fuzzy.

Man, Europeans are much cooler about offensive political statements than the US is. Even if a brewery were to do something like that in a farcical/satirical way, they'd probably never sell a drop ever again. But I say that now and next year Rogue's KKKolsch will hit the shelves so...

Thankfully, the Mexican Cake limits are pretty big, so there's bound to be a decent amount of people who are willing to trade some away. After trying the last round of BA Mexican Cakes, I'm very tempted to go after them... If only we had some local goons who lived close to Westbrook.

danbanana posted:Flagged so I'm assuming he was paying mules? yes, he offered $50 to a "couple of people" for them to stand in line from 530am to 1030am to purchase something that was limited. he never said what it was, just the general location, and it was posted in the "events and gigs" section. the latter surprised me at first, but most of the other listings are for secret shoppers and other small, odd jobs like that, so i guess it makes sense. it would also be hilarious if the lame-rear end dude who posted it ended up with some fiend tweaking his rear end off next to him in line for five hours. drinking a Stickee Monkee and am sad that i only scored one bottle...

So, how many different pumpkin beers are in your beer shoppe right now? I counted 13 at mine, of which four were Elysian. Also,  Here is what a fine tapwall looks like in Central Oregon in case you're interested.

Just finished a Founders Mosaic Promise. I thought it was pretty tasty, but just a little on the thin side. Also picked up one of the 32oz bottles of Lagunitas Sucks. Anyone know if Sucks is only going to be the 32oz bottles for now, or will there be 6-packs?

Speaking yet again of pumpkin beers, I've been wanting to try Almanac's pumpkin barleywine for approximately one year now, as one year ago I looked at the label while at a small shop in Santa Rosa and thought it sounded incredible but $10 was simply too expensive for a 12oz bottle. Then I paid $10 for a bottle of Bomb later that day but shut up. Anyway I noticed that it's out again and available to buy online, is it as good as it sounds? My recent string of trades has given me a strange mental disability that causes me to ignore shipping costs when beer is involved.Podima posted:I have exactly one and am torn on when to open it. I am in the same tragic boat. To people who've had both, how does Not the Stoic compare to Stickee Monkee? That's the only other relatively-widely available BA quad I can think of.

Anyone know if Sucks is only going to be the 32oz bottles for now, or will there be 6-packs? 6 packs will be seasonal and quart bottles year round, from what I remember. And I agree about Mosaic Promise. It's really well done, but at the same time feels like a missed opportunity because Founders is usually at their best when they go hog wild with over the top flavors. Even their Centennial IPA, while basic, is pretty huge in mouth feel and flavor for a single IPA. Then again, it's nice they tried something different. krustster fucked around with this message at 03:55 on Sep 19, 2014 |

Weyerbacher has one that's easily available called Blasphemy. If you trade someone in Philly/NJ they should have no problems getting it. It's $8 for a 750.

(edit: poo poo, I was thinking of Insanity, their BBA barleywine. Ignore me!) That's the problem with any 750 though. I can't think of a reason why brewery's release beers in those formats other than to get more cash per ounce, other than to increase rarity.

Insanity is really good. Heresy was a bit disappointing, but still a decent buy for a $10 four pack. Podima posted:Nope, all me, baby - 9 days and counting! (Now you see why I REALLY WANTED to get my fiancee something nice while we were both in the thick of things!) Incredible...

Would I be considered a hater for saying that Stickee Monkee basically tasted exactly like a drier Sucaba and not much else? I mean, good beer yeah, but I really wanted more yeast character for something marketed as a quad.

Actually I can't think of any Wild Beer I've had that has been anything worse than 'totally competent if not that exciting'. Maybe they don't travel well or something?

As much as I've discovered I love Lady In the Woods (there's still 2011 bottles sitting at at least two different shops I know of...), I've found the fruited variants to be extremely one-note. Kriek was practically pure acid and made the harshest of Uplands seem tame. Peche was less so, but the subtleness of the peach never came through.

Lady is definitely the best and Kriek is second, but the other fruited varieties don't quite justify the $20+ price tag for me. they're not bad, just not awesome.
