Retemnav posted:Well, after talking last week about how the Mikkeller tasting was underwhelming and how his beer's were all overpriced...I of course found 1 bottle of Beer Geek Brunch Weasel sitting on the shelf of a shop this weekend. So I had to pick that up. Looking forward to drinking fermented weasel shits this week! If you want fermented weasel poo poo I could have given you that at a far more reasonable price....

beetlo posted:Made the drive to DC to pick up Dortmunder Gold today. The drive wasn't bad at all especially considering how close to rush hour it was (36 miles in 45 minutes with DC beltway and 270 involved is really good). $24 for 12 of them. Looking forward to trying it. This is a really loving long drive for Dortmunder Gold.

SUPER HASSLER posted:OK it looks like I'll be in the SF bay area in late April/early May. Moylan's/Russian River/21st Amndt are on my list, but where else should I make a point of visiting? Moylan's isn't worth the trip, IMO. Russian River is a pretty decent drive north and you can just chill out and enjoy it.

Sirotan posted:A friend just told me knows someone who is already camping out in front of Founder's for the KBS release on Saturday. Beer nerds. As someone who is still sitting on a few bottles of 2010 and 2011, and not due to some desire to age them, I'm skipping this year. It's just not that fun a time and I can reserve money for DLD. In order to make this not just a "cool story, bro" post, I had one of the most pleasurable aromatic beers last night: mort subite blanche lambic, kobbegem, belgium 5.5% dry w/a little tartness, we get coriander on the nose & peach blossom on the palate was the menu description, and it's pretty drat accurate. It was the biggest aroma I've ever smelled in a beer, and it overpowered even the seafood on the table. It could have been a woman's perfume. The beer was delicate, flavorful, and crisp, but I could have used a touch more tartness for my tastes. ShaneB fucked around with this message at 16:06 on Mar 9, 2012 |

SUPER HASSLER posted:I demand to know if he's like that in real life. I'm actually pretty laid back. I've met a good number of goons that post here. My not giving much of a gently caress doesn't lend itself well to forum posting all the time. I agree with the assessment of the bramble. It tasted like it was blended with port or something. The fruit got kind of cloying and just stuck in your mouth the whole time.

Midorka posted:I appreciate what you're doing, but gently caress do I find this tacky and annoying. I'm not disagreeing simply to disagree with you, but I find the regular BORIS both better and cheaper. I also know for a fact that that beer sits in barrels for basically no time at all, so it's more or less a moneymaking thing for them where they can call it BA and crank the price up like $4. Tastebuds tho.

Paul Proteus posted:They released an anniversary version in Chicago with a blue cap and a neck hanger(not sure if this is the one you were talking about). I'd say it was a worse beer but cost more money than the regular. I didn't love the bottle I had, either. It used a different grain bill with euro malts for fanciness.

Sirotan posted:I don't think they expected it to happen at all. Two years ago the KBS release had people going back a few times to get another case. Last year I think they still gave out full cases and most everyone was happy about it. Now this year they have people camping out starting at 5pm the day before. I don't think the CBS release even had that kind of turnout (correct me if I'm wrong). When I went in 2010 I arrived at like... 8ish??? and you could buy 2 cases each. I easily got my case. This year was absurd. Glad I didn't go. I'm drinking one of my 2011's in memory of last years visit *pours one out* ShaneB fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Mar 15, 2012 |

I just clicked where the buttons were supposed to load (broken image links showed instead) and got to checkout. And they use a 3rd party ticket retailer to handle their sales, and they throw everything they can at it every year. It's like getting a denial of service attack.

Sorry beer goons, I wanted to meet up and party but this poo poo just pisses me off. Especially since they are now $300 a ticket on Stub Hub. Cool  post. There is literally nothing about this that is 3F fault, besides throwing a rather small event that HAS to be that size and everyone in the region salivating over getting tickets every year.

I recently had to get a roommate for the first time in like 6 years... and it took him just over a week to drink a bunch of my beer cellar without asking. I don't know what the gently caress he was thinking, but things I believe got drank include: De Struise - Aardmonnik - Earthmonk from 2008 Dogfish Head - Olde School Barleywine from 2008 (maybe more years? This is a 15% beer holy poo poo) Dogfish Head - World Wide Stout from 2008 HOW THE gently caress DO YOU DRINK THIS BY YOURSELF its like 18% Founders - Nemesis 2010 (Think this was in there) Hair of the Dog - Cherry Adam from the Wood Jolly Pumpkin - Bambic Batch 1 (FUCKKKKKK) In the end it's just beer, and I guess I didn't EXPLICITLY SAY "don't drink my beer, especially multiple bottles of 15% beer", but jesus h christ on the cross I'm grumpy about it right now. Edit: he was at least apologetic and was like "I didn't realize they were non-replaceable" and "I know guys at Firestone Walker and Stone" (he used to live in Cali)... but yeah. Cool.

Kudosx posted:Oh really? For some reason I thought someone had said it is only available out of 3F's brewery, I guess I must have misread/misunderstood. There is a six pack sitting at my corner liquor store that's been there at least 5-6 days. I know because I bought the one that was in front of it and it has never even been slid up to the front of the cooler. They also charge bizarrely average/low prices for scotch for Chicago. Not complaining.

I think Zombie Dust is pretty dang good, but the locals are a bit overenthusiastic about it. Something about 3F invites such absurd devotion, I think, much like the Ann Arbor brewpubs were always stuffed even though their beer was horrendous. But for a local beer, I think Revolution's IPA might be better, and you can get that every day of the week.

Chicago folks: who is going to Dark Lord Day? Paul Proteus and I are thinking about just going down in my van, so it makes sense to carpool IMO. That way we can draw straws to see who has to stop drinking 2-3 hours before we want to leave. Shoot me a PM if you are 100% planning to go and can get yourself to Logan Square or Edgewater that morning for a pickup.

I'll give his opinion a +1 but I'm really tired of being the guy who just says negative things all the time. Positive thing: there is a neverending supply of Zombie Dust at the small liquor store around the corner from me and it's a dang good everyday beer to have around.

air- posted:I completely forgot about picking up SAVOR tickets a couple weeks ago, and didn't realize that it was like DLD as far as how fast the presale tickets sold out. I've heard good things about it, but is it really worth $120? A few of the salons sounded pretty awesome (Terror of Terroir, Odell Woodcut, Rare Beers of Tarheel State), assuming you got a decent amount to sample. And one thing I'm curious about, since this is so huge, could I expect something like say, SXSW/GABF, where the side events are a better use of time/money? I already read that BeerAdvocate's putting together an event that Saturday. I've been to SAVOR twice and I don't think it's worth the money. The salons are hit and miss. Why are you asking, though, if you missed ticket sales?

air- posted:every beer he's done has been outstanding. This is a pretty serious overstatement. He frequently overspices and seasons his beers, leading to overpowering herbal flavors that, IMO, distract from the overall brew. I find his simpler beers like Stateside Saison and Cellar Door (very mildly herbed up) fantastic, though.

Bud Light Lime-a-Rita is honestly delicious and tastes approximately like a Tom Collins in a can when poured over ice. I figure if you add a little gin it will be even better and closer to a TC. It's going to be my summer drink of choice, at least until something terrible happens (which is basically inevitable).
