Official Supp Beer Misc #5: Bring in da Sours, Bring in da Funk

[Outside backer]

Breakside sent in a couple IPAs for the NIPAC; good shyt. Never had this one though.


Celebrated one of the Beer Jerk's wife's bday last night; busted out meadwhales since she likes spicy shyt, specifically B Nektar Cherry Chipotle and Dragons are real. Both were awesome. Dragons is cherry juice + cacao nib + chipotle pepper mead aged in Dragons Milk barrels. Heart. (sorry for shytty pics; shyt wasn't focusing well)

. These look omg epic. How where they

Bit of a medicine taste like some of the reviews state, but beyond that, very good.

Cable Car is REAAALLLYYY good. I really liked it when I was first on the fringe of drinking sours; haven't had it since. I imagine I'd think it's amazeballs now. Would I pay 65 for it though and be forced to drink it there? IDK. People "stole" CCK bottles because that was supposed to be on-site only but we all know that handfulls of bottles got out into the public. So you can try to see if you can get one now and carry it out with your boyfriend's purse.

I work for a distributor and know the owners / bartenders on a first name basis lol
I don't think they'd be very happy with me if I smuggled it out in my bf's purse or anoos

I could prob talk them into turning a blind eye if I wanted to dip out w the bottle... but I wouldn't mind drinking it there either. It's just that $65 price tag

I'd buy that cable car 100%. Friend of mine has a ton of cable car and cck. He's gonna open a cable car with me soon. Am excite

eh that'd be the most expensive beer I've ever bought -- by far.
Even the Cantillons I got were only $33

Wafflez, get on those Cable Cars bruv!

How is everyone doing this weekend? It's been raining for two straight weeks in Austin. At least my lawn is green before the drought.

Drink Alpine or go to bed.

That's my favorite pint glass. Good shyt.

A few yrs ago we had that here. I swear I didn't see the sun for a 12-14 days. Was sofa king depressed especially when our summers are only about 12 weeks long, give or take a few.

Pic probably doesn't show crap, but this fawcett Pearl Malt is gorgeous stuff. Brewing a dipa w/it tmrw

Yeah, pretty much the same here. Sucks. Thinking I might Yolo buy a propane smoker for using this weekend. A little worried the one I'm looking at is too small though, and will be alert pissed if it rains too much to use it.

Flesh, it's the opposite for us. More like 12 weeks of not summer.

No other Citra comes close

J, you gotta try the new Mad Hatter Midwest IPA, is New Holland available in your area?

[jamm!n]

^tis not, good sir. Sounds tasty. I need to get you a canned crowler of some Pallet Jack. The guys do a good job of capping on foam to reduce oxidation here

[Boagrius]

This any good? My buddy picked up a bottle out in SD

I'm starting to realize that solo citra beers are kinda shytty...

Unless it's Citra Hose or that one Hop Bu variant with citra only in it.

Citra plus simcoe is my jam. Too much simcoe gives me that strong ammonia odor, but just a touch is fukking nice.

Nelson + Citra is hands down my fav combo. Those 2 together, preferably 2:1, Nels:Cit melts face

That's why they call simcoe a catty ipa as it's like cat piss. But I had an IPA that had a fukton of 2 row (I HATE 2 row) and all simcoe. Was awesome. I suppose the cattyness offsets the 2 row flavor nicely.

Ya, again, it's not a solo citra beer. But I will concede that only citra showers (not this yum yum stuff) was the only good citra single hopped IPA I've had. But generally overall, citra single hopped IPAs kinda suck.

I take back what I said, I also had a heavily hopped-citra saison like 6 months back from a small brewer here and it was stellar. Died off pretty quickly though.

for the most part, i wont argue that. but i feel that way about single hop beers in general. NELSON SAUVIN being the clear exception. Centennial can stand alone on occasion in it's own old-school way as well


I havent had the real Row 2, Hill 56 - but Ive brewed the clone twice. Its all Simcoe and I really enjoyed it. I hear the clone is basically spot on too




Has anyone tried Hop Hands? I found a clone for it that is supposedly reallly close. It uses Wyeast 1318 (london ale III) yeast and about 13% oats. The rest is base malt. Huge dry hop with Centennial, Amarillo & Simcoe.
You guys think i should brew it?

[jamm!n]

racked 10 gallons of Less Fortunate Islands today to clear up some fermentor space. 5 gallons per Modem Tones' recipe and 5 gallons dry hopped heavily with all Nelson! can't wait for these bishes to carb up so I can go HAM on them




PS - DL'd the imgur app on my ipotato flesh. too retard to figure out how to use it yet though


PPS - brewed a double IPA with a mountain of hops. trying a new principle out on this for hop profile.. think i might be onto something. I also used 7.5% dextrose in the grist (go fukk yourself DDB) so it should finish nice and dry.

Hop Hands is fine but almost all of TH's IPAs and APAs are super underwhelming and a very very delicate kinda flavor, mouthfeel, and overall palate. Imagine a marginally more intense experience than Hillshire's beers; Hillshires are all so watery and thin it's laughable. I had one IPA from them that was dank and had a ton of backbone to it. They've not made it in a year and it sold out in two days there. Now since they've expanded production by a fukton, there may be ways to get it out more often, IDK.

IDK how itards work, but there's a share button on droids that you can send straight to imgur if you have a pixxar in your gallery. Then hit the 'view image' notification once it's uploaded, then there's a menu on top, hit it to drop to bbcode, and hit the code and it auto copies. Pasta where ever.

Or you can load directly from the imgur app with a link or a physical upload from the device.

And you can browse all the user submitted shyt for lolz.

awww yeaaaa
Citra Hose is a fukkin game-changer for sure. IMO, one of the best beers I've ever had.

Our pale is loosely based off of a clone recipe I found on HBT for that.
The first time I brewed it, we dry hopped too early (3rd week) and it was generally under-whelming like Flesh said. Thin, not much going on.
We started dry hopping on the 4th or even 5th week, and its much better. Beginner mistake I guess.

Also, we use US-04 instead of the English III or whatever. Seems to finish out around 1.010 or 1.009 (SG 1.05x).

We just tried another batch using some vienna in the recipe, and SD super yeast and it got down to 1.006. Dry hopped yesterday... we'll see how that turns out
