It was just meant to illustrate that many states have very stringent laws related to liquor, and many states don't, in lots of different ways, and it's neat to see all the differences as you rapidly travel across the US.

wodin posted:They sell specialty stoppers that do a pretty good job of letting you space the beer across 2-3 days, but yeah, I definitely wish they did 375s. I googled "beer saver bottle stopper" and the second result is a BA thread in reference to one that The Bruery sells haha. I don't know how I forgot about this. Might have to pick one up. Speaking of The Bruery, here's a cool little puzzle. They're releasing vintage bottles at 2 AM Central every day for the next 12 days and put out this image as a hint. 3 I got right away but the rest are kinda tricky.

They're $12 (tax included) at the release. I've seen them priced from $11.99 to $13.99 at stores in Colorado. Most of them are worth the price imo, Avery has few misses with their barrel aged beers. SUPER HASSLER, if you do stop by Fort Collins on your way home let me know. Would love to grab some beers with you.

ExtremistCow posted:Scored some Bulleit Barrel Aged Ten Fidy tonight and it was goddamn perfect. I'd be hard pressed to pick a more artfully crafted stout than Ten Fidy (except maybe Expedition), and the barrel just takes it to another level. No adjuncts to get in the way and muddy the flavors, just amazing.  I can't even imagine how good this would be. If it was in bottles I think this would be an obnoxious internet whale. And the Appleton rum barrel one...  Dem Bones posted:Man, that sounds great, going to have to keep an eye out. And on the subject of Oskar Blues/Old Chub, Old Chub Nitro is great too. And, if you like nitro and Ten Fidy, you owe it to yourself to get some Left Hand Wake Up Dead Nitro. If Oskar Blues starts doing the obvious thing with their nitro production capabilities and putting out Ten Fidy Nitro cans, I probably actually will wake up dead. Ehhh, I hate to be a negative nancy but Wake Up Dead is on a much lower level than Ten Fidy in my book. And I guess it doesn't help that I really don't care for nitro beers of any kind, but nitro Wake Up Dead sounds way inferior to regular Ten Fidy in every way. Good for a $5 bomber, way better than Lagunitas imperial stout, but just not anywhere near the top of my list. Ten Fity on the other hand is worth every penny, so much flavor. Nitro looks nice and it gives you that nice creamy foam or whatever, but it just tastes flat to me. I really do not understand it. crazyfish posted:I think it bore some resemblances to one of the iterations of Nemesis, but I don't care what it was before because I hated it. Old post, but it's basically the same as 2009 Nemesis and tastes virtually identical--if not a bit better--to me. Wheatwines do seem to be pretty polarizing in general though, let alone ones aged in syrup barrels to increase the sweetness even more. It pressed the right buttons for me, but I can understand people hating it.

BA Alesmith beers of almost all types including Speedway are on the shelf in numerous locations around Wisconsin such as Sun Prairie and Appleton Woodmans, so if you want to do a couple hours (??) of driving, you should be able to satisfy your craving with ease. Also, say goodbye to at least $35 per bottle, which is why I never bought any.

Glad, because the combo of BA Alesmith plus an allotment of CW 17 would have stung pretty bad.

I feel like 20 is probably White Chocolate. And I'm not sure why they'd reserve a special sale for this, seeing as it started off as a Preservation-only beer but is now on shelves all over California, but I think that 19 is Ign(eo)us Fatuus.

blue.eyed.ash posted:13 is a patchwork quilt, which is most likely one of the Melanges (which is odd as both Melange #1 and #3 are currently on sale). 13 being a Melange is a possibility, but the fact they are still on sale kind of weakens that concept to me - unless they go with an older vintage but that's pretty disappointing if so. I'll be curious to see if your guesses for 19/20 are correct as I question the use of a blonde for "White Chocolate" or even putting Ignis on sale again. But hey, never know, poo poo happens. The first year of Bruery 12 Days at Provisions was great, and the following years have been fairly disappointing. Hopefully this year is much better, and it starts off with 2013 BT which was just posted. Zam fucked around with this message at 09:31 on Dec 12, 2014 |

Since I already love regular Ten Fidy, I can only imagine a nitro version would be mind-breakingly good. It's just math!

Listen, I didn't face ten long tours against the goddamn 'bots to come back home and lift baby weights.

So the Cuvee des Jacobins was pretty good; close enough to Duchesse and Monk's Cafe. Vichtenaar tasted much sweeter than those three. Not sure if that's just the batch I got (it seemed pretty fresh) or if that's the beer itself. That place I went last night had a few different bottles of Allagash, including Curieux and Victoria Ale. I think I'll probably go back Sunday to get the Victoria, since beer with wine grapes has done me well so far. (Liquor stores open on Sunday!  )

Midorka posted:Ouch. They're $9 in NJ. Weird that they mark it up for us straight from the brewery... But it also is a well-established price point for this area. CS regular offerings are $7/375mL while their limited stuff (L'Brett D'Or, Nightmare on Brett, fruited versions of Surette or Origins) tends to be $12-14/375mL. That's definitely the top end, though. I can pick up Trinity sour 375s for $5.50 on occasion, as well as several sour 750s being just around $10. And NB Le Terroir and La Folie are $14/750mL. I don't get beer pricing around here, but there ya go.

Quantrill posted:So what do I need to try from Boulevard when they venture into Ohio this January? As others have said, Tank 7 should be your starting point. IMO, their Smokestack series ranges from good to fantastic, with no real duds. Rye-on-Rye hits in January, so pick that up. Love Child usually gets released in late Spring, and is a standout AWA. Their collaborations vary pretty widely, but the most recent saison collab is solid. Basically you can't go wrong with anything they put in a 750ml bottle; their year-round six-pack offerings are all pretty pedestrian.
