I love Ballast Point; especially their Sculpin IPA and Yellowtail Pale Ale. I live about 25 minutes north of their brewery up in North SD.

I picked up some good brews this weekend. I'll post up the pic soon.

Some goodies from the weekend:



Finally found Avery Maharaja! Heaven in a bottle. The DogFish Head ApriShop was very tasty as well. Very, very subtle apricot undertones.



Enough said about this one.

Aprihop is probably one of the worst beers of all time. Someone gave it to me at a bar last week when that person paid $1 for it as the bar couldn't sell it. I think it got worse than the first time I tried this a few yrs ago. Ultra flai

It wasn't anything to write home about, but I did enjoy it. It was after 3 pints of the Maharaja, so I wasn't in my most sober state of mind.. or maybe I just flai

Iron Fist is outstanding. I usually fill up my growler every weekend cause it's right next to my house. It's actually right next to iForce's office. Where in SD are you?

Nice to see a couple more SD brah's here.

Sculpin is fantastic...but I tried the yellowtail pale ale on draft while I was in San Diego and thought Ballast Point must have been trolling...that sh*t is terrible.

Then I realized it's not really a typical american pale ale...it is a Kolsch. meh.

Have you been to hess or alesmith on miramar road?

Boy you crazy. Their Yellowtail is great for a nice, easy drinking beer. I'm more of an American IPA/Imperial IPA kinda guy, some softer pale ales still have their place

Have you been to hess or alesmith on miramar road?

No, but it's on my to-do list. I haven't tried an Alesmith beer that I haven't like yet. I go to Stone Brewery quite a bit for drinks and food. They have some pretty insane gardens that you can cruise around in.

How was the Cascade blueberry sour?

[adamg8504]

Celebrator is the shyt. I bought a 4 pack and accidentally forgot about it... Came back to it a few years later, was even more amazing. If you can keep your dirty dick beaters away from it, I suggest aging it.

I would but my gf actually bought it for herself and gave me a bottle. I had to drink it.

Hoppin' Frog is brewed about 15 miles from my house. I love their beer and BORIS is one of my favorite stouts.

I have had essentially every beer from them. I used to live 20 minutes out of Akron just into Stark County. I have supported them a ton before I moved out last year. I went to every single release day. Never been disappointed by a single brew. You should cellar some BORIS. I had a 2010 at a tasting a few months ago, and it really turns into something special. A super noticeable difference between that and a fresh one.

I have been looking for the Lips of Faith La Folie for months now. One of my favorite beers ever

That's a good idea, I will. They are releasing a new one on June 1st...

lol scripps. Someone loves La Jolla.

A. Eff you, ohio brahs coming back
2. BORIS kinda sucks imo. DORIS rapes the shyt out of it for sure.

I think I bought a BORIS by accident. I'll hold it as long as I can; set to move outta this shytty state soon.


Had this yesterday. Man what a waste of whatever the hell it cost. Malt flavors were kinda weird, too piney. I'm getting sick of relying on BA for "helping" me make a decision.



Also picked up Fireston Walker 15th anniv. ale. Better not be a fukking disappoint at $18 or 19 a bottle.

how the **** do you forget about a beer for a few years?

[thefleshlight]

how the **** do you forget about a beer for a few years?

lol well my first excuse (GLBC Xmas ale) was that I put it in cooler and left it in the basement of my old place. Didn't grab it until I went to move, found something like 3 'old' GLBC xmas ales in there from when I was 21-22; at this point, I was like 24ish.
BUT if you remember my beer selection pic from a few years ago, it was very easy to forget about all the damn beers I had. Now it's a very meager to where I almost "need" to buy beer whenever I want to drink. I'll dig up that pic on my photobucket to show you the diff between then and now.


Was fall 08 when I moved into where I currently live:




Then it ballooned to this in probably 09ish, maybe even 2010 as I see the Doppelrock 4pack there and I believe that came out in spring 2010:




Now I'm at this, taken just now:

Flesh, is that a tub of Prototype Nutrition COP on your counter?

Hess is amazing. Really small but their coffee porter is just heaven.

Havent been to stone but i go to bevmo and get a 22oz of ruination atleast once a month

Latest Hauls in the last month and a half:

Lots of imports lol. Tripels and Belgians galore, and My first De Struise. The Odins Tipple is 3 years old. Vitus is incredible, I had it last night. The mikkeller is Rum Barrel aged 2010 Santas Little Helper. The reviews are ****ty, but whatever.

What Mikkeller is that? And Dieu du Ciel makes some decent brews; I like corne du diable best... not a fan of barleywines like you have.

[bodomwarrior13]

How was the Cascade blueberry sour?

Fuarking delicious. I love Cascade. I'm going to open my Le Bleu soon while the taste of the Cascade is still fresh in my brain to compare. Any brahs wanna throw a Blaeber my way to put in with the comparison?

And Dieu du Ciel makes some decent brews; I like corne du diable best... not a fan of barleywines like you have.

Agreed. I like barleywines and really digged the Soltice. That said Peche Mortel is the shiit.

[sdfan13]

Had the Lagunitas Red Ale last night.. twas very good.

A little malty taste to start, then a nice bitter/semi hoppy finish. A very 'refreshing' style red ale.

[Vibrio]

Had that Mikkeller Hop Burn last weekend. It was really good. Not quite worth the $7 pricetag but that seems to be par for the course when it comes to Mik brews.

[TheFugitive]

Yes ma'am.

Good man, love COP

For being a head rep person, you should really know how to construct better published sentences.

copycat

The question is, will you copycats make it taste as good as proto COP?
