The official supp misc OFFICIAL BEER LOVER thread V2.0

[Vibrio]

You should have access to some goods in Maryland. We don't get **** in Tx.

The MD breweries aren't bad(Flying Dog, DuClaw and Heavy Seas). But I'd kill to walk into a store and leave with Pliny, Furious, Sculpin and a Zombie Dust. Hell, I'm on the verge of prostitution for a bottle of Czar lol. When I win the lottery tonight, I'm ordering cases of beer and just staking pictures of it for Twitter and the Facebooks. IDGAF.

San Diego is the craft brew capital brah

I may have a job offer in Palo Alto. I've not been taking it seriously b/c I hear cost of living is absurd but if it'll get me access to rare beers, I'll gladly eat ramen noodles for a few years.

[blinkers88]

Just wait till you get your grubby little mitts on some lil sumpin

Hahahah I've been tryin to find that shet forever

The only Lagunitas beer I didn't like;I may have even hated it, was Daytime(no negs phaggots!) Tasted like what I'd imagine the underside of a lawnmower would taste like. It was like drinking Fern Gully, pine cones and spruce leaves. Ugh.

sounds like heaven to me lulz

So here I am drinking more styles none of you care about

A solid Kolsch. Fits the style well, but is a touch watered down, yet balanced. Lemon/pear/grass/herbal/cracker malt/light pepper


Schwarzbier. Really good, nicely balanced and robust. Chocolate/toffee/caramel/roast/light coffee/raisins/nutty/toast/molasses


I am ready for the haters here, but Rogue has fit the bill. The fruitiness is light; and the toast/biscuit/nuttiness is high with toffee and herbal spicy hops. Light pear and apple. Really well done. I still have a handful of Ofests to finish. Heavy Seas Prosit Imperial Ofest, Shiner Ofest, Harpoon Ofest, Stoudt's Ofest are left. After that I should be around 20 unique ones in the style just this year. Not too many fit the bill, as they were too fruity. Some brewers aren't lagering long enough dammit. Sam Adams was just plain bland and Weihenstephaner was not even close to what I expected for the style(but it was pretty good).


I had another Zombie Dust after that too

[OmniscientCause]

spak...Jacks abby makes a really good Schwarzbier

Everyone has been raving about them lately, not just you on here lol. I really need to try some of their lagers one of these days. Hoponius Union for one example.

I was drunk one night. Went to a new beer bar, quickly became 'friends' with the bartenders. They gave me and my friend a 3 wisemen... ended up baaaad. Will def get you drunk.
and I like the new label too, but it fukks with me when I see it because I'm still not used to it.

Just wait till you get your grubby little mitts on some lil sumpin

This. Also Holiday Sucks when that comes out.

That shouldn't be a problem at all. I've done too many trades right now. (Is there such a thing?) but come the beginning of the year ill revisit this with you if you'd like.

[Vibrio]

I live in MN.

Well played, carry on.

[D3Baseball]

Pretty damn good, but by no means revolutionary.

[TopsecretWaffle]

^its WAAAAY better on tap

[IrishPilot]

December. According to the Lagunitas rep I spoke with.

[whiskeyboarder]

Absolutely. Cans too.

Appreciate all the State Line info. Will definitely make a visit next time I am up that direction. Hell, I might visit my parents just to head that way!

ice...funny story about rasputin...it was one of the first beers i bought when i turned 21 when i was just getting into craft. On my 21st bday i went and bought a mixed 6 this is what i got.

Ah, to reminisce. I had always liked beers different than my friends. But never good beer until a couple of years back. The old me drank a lot of Killians when others were drinking Natty.

Lil Sumpin Sumpin stoked my craft beer passion. Thus, my full on nuthuggery of Lagunitas (although, in my defense, I posted not one but two moderate reviews of DayTime)

La Fin Du Monde is not good beer. LOL, btw, I don't like tripels either.

Going through a Belgian-style beer thing right now. After the first Saison Dupont, I was hooked. And my all time favorite is Trois Pistoles; so so good. I just drank my first beer of the night, and it was this:



And, honestly, it disappointed. I dig Allagash. But this one started with a nice Belgian flavor but ended with an unpleasing burning presence in the flavor profile.

I like IPA's, they just have to be balanced and not straight up piney woods hop bombs. And phucking LOL!

Finally tasting the sweet Sculpin nectar once again:



Cheers!

[OmniscientCause]

whiskey...allagash is good stuff but their limited release stuff is head and shoulders above their normal stuff.

Also, got this recently:

Never had any Cigar City but as usual, there are a lot of people on BA who luv da chit outta it. Especially the Hunaphu series.

[TheFugitive]
