I love bourbon. I am thinking this beer would be right up my alley.

Why the hate for the AB-Inbev? You hate all macro brew corps or what?

Plz dont neg me. My measlie rank would suffer. haha

There are many other bourbon beers out there not owned by AB-Inbev.

...it's still the biggest beer company in the US, but shipments have fallen for three straight years, thanks to the growing popularity of small, independent craft brewers. But this year Budweiser's got a plan, president of North American operations Luiz Edmond tells the Wall Street Journal: It's going to produce more beers, while leaning on distributors not to carry the competition.

Try Imperial Eclipse from FiftyFifty, Backwoods Bastard, KBS, any barrel aged beers from Firestone-Walker, Kentucky Bourbon Ale, etc. I can't recall some of the others I've had...

Thanks, Spak, everything arrived safe and sound. I'm going to drink your IPAs first then move on to bolder offerings.

Lettuce, tomato, grilled onion, and either hot sauce or jalapenos. Oh Lawd!

Hot sauce or jalapenos? Pussy.

Cheese, lettuce tomato, grilled onion, grilled jalapenos, light raw onion (for that sharp bite), pickles, hot sauce, and mustard. Pepper ketchup for the fries.

[Vibrio]

is there any other way? barely dressed...but i do rock a little lettuce tomato grilled onion!

Grilled and smoked peppers rule. I always try to grill or smoke almost everything I eat, even pizza :nom:

good shyt man. my packing ritual hasnt failed yet. Drink the CEO stout soon IMO, its fresh as fuk, smelled like I stuck my face into the coffee aisle at whole foods.

SUCKS bottled 9 days ago showed up. I got a 6 pack, but I still have 2 other 6 packs from the one bottled in December, fuuuu.

On second thought, its not that bad. The other 6 packs were bottled on the 21st of December. Not really that old.

[Lethal04]

Smells and tastes like liquid Reese's. Would never guess it was 13%, hides the alcohol very well. Definitely something different and wouldn't want to drink it too often, but its good. Would rather it be in 12oz bottles than bombers. Got a good buzz and feels like I just ate a dozen reeses cups, haha.

[thefleshlight]

If she strips at Clubhouse I probably know here....srs

I'll take the pics in PM, thanks in advance.
haha
I know most of their real names. There are so many strip clubs in Dallas though it'd be crazy if I actually knew her.

Get them pics or you're frauding, *******.

She told me she quit. Used to strip at Baby Dolls.



And that PB porter sounds like a dream.... liquid Reeses and you don't think you could drink it that often? You need your head examined.

[Lethal04]

did not know this was even an option! hhhhhhnnnnnnngggggg

I have them grill the onions, mushrooms, and peppers on mine. Makes it so much better. Get all those grilled veggies + bacon, lettuce, & A1. hnnnnggggg

Damn good but probably wouldn't want to take all that rich and sweet goodness all the time. It has me sold though, going to pick up a couple more bottles tomorrow.

RB was a big letdown. Went to a release party for it on Tues and left mad son. Sierra provided the hops and you can def tell, it's like no other DFH.

[TheFugitive]

A big shout to Giggity

The distributor I work for keeps getting more and more craft beers. It's one of the main distributors of AB.
They'll actually be distributing FW in the Dallas area.
This is one reason I DO want to get into the part of the company where I deal with nothing but craft beers. Their list of craft beers just keep going up.

Alright, so I just got my mind blown off. This is the absolute best Pumking batch ST has ever made. I bought it a while back(october?), but I decided to have it tonight as I usually rate stuff I havent had in a while on fridays. Bottled mid Sept, the light age just fuking balanced this out SO damn well. GOD DAMNNNN. Aromas are a perfect 5/5. HUGE pumpkin pie, gingerbread, nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, brown sugar, pie crust, caramel, and light herbal hops. Taste nearly mirrors the aromas in amazingness. Southern Tier, WHY YOU SO AWESOME. Seriously, the last 2 ratings I made on this beer were B+/A- area, and this just fuking changed the whole opinion.

[giggitybrah]

my packing ritual hasnt failed yet.

Apparently my shipment to Vindicate got ****ed. Can't believe it. Such a sad day. At least they repackaged and still delivered =\

[TopsecretWaffle]

epic! had a great time with the GF. Drank and ate well, did tons of relaxing on the beach

FUUUUU

Fedex has been so good to me, never had a problem. I always end up spending a fair amount on packaging it, but it never gets maimed.

[TopsecretWaffle]

very good but very different. oak and mango citrus dominate the flavor. would buy and recommend

[Vindicate]

im just glad they didnt steal everything, but just removed the one damaged bottle, repacked it and still shipped it to me.

They obviously saw beer because they put each bottle in an envelope and their own fedex box

they originally checked off "The entire contents are enclosed"...then scribbled it out.




Yesterday started my night off drinking my first ever pliny, and it was Delicious. Funny thing is i brewed a clone a while back but never had the real deal till yesterday.

for the good pic of what giggitybrah sent me!

One reason why I generally avoid fedex and UPS because it's not uncommon for them to play soccer with boxes that have been accidentally dropped.

[KyBrah32]

bourbon barrels are a lot more popular than I thought is this a relatively new trend? Only one I had heard of was kentucky ale bb and that just came out I think late last year

[cyde]

Spak, good work on the white IPA.

Wat? Bourbon barrels or bourbon barrel beer? Bourbon barrels are extremely common since, legally, distilleries must age bourbon in all new barrels, therefore finding used barrels is extremely.
