I never get tasting notes that review writers get. Basically it's varying levels of hoppy or malty for me.

Beer writing may be the only thing worse than music writing.

Also if the ZD is still on the shelves I will get some today and stash a bottle for u Mordy. Anyone else interested?

dan m, anything you're looking for in particular?

I don't have a wish list or anything tbh... can you get Pliny? (Only asking because of your post upthread.)

Man I just want to make it known that although, yes, I like craft beer and, yes, I am an architect, but I definitively do not ever post on beeradvocate and even if I did, it certainly wouldn't be under the name BEERchitect. Just to clear that up.
I'm planning to pick up some ZD when I'm at Three Floyd's on Saturday. Also really hoping they'll have some Blakkr available, but I doubt it.
Heady Topper is number one on my wishlist now, after crossing off Pliny.

I'm on there too, but I stupidly used my government name so I'm not about to broadcast it here. I'm friends with Jeff and jjusten though, and it starts with "jp", so I'll be more than happy to connect with any of you other nerds.

Have any NYC-area (or NYC-visiting) ILXORS been to TORST?

Oh man, Double Daisy Cutter is really hitting the spot tonight.
― djenter the dragon? (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 24 April 2014 03:06 (ten years ago) link
did you like torst xp
― Doritos Loco Parentis (Hurting 2), Thursday, 24 April 2014 03:07 (ten years ago) link
i did like torst tho it's definitely better as a special occasion place. it's much more worth it if you bring some friends and split something crazy from their bottle list--the draft lists i've seen are nothing special, even more so since i don't much care for evil twin.

when i was there we got a bottle of cantillon mamouche for 75 bucks, given standard bar markups plus cantillon plus brooklyn i thought it was pretty well-priced.

Update from yesterday -- no ZD left on the shelves at my local store :( BUT they told me they usually get some in on Tuesdays (?) so I'm going to keep trying & will eventually score some for interested parties itt.
― dan m, Thursday, 24 April 2014 13:07 (ten years ago) link
Also Notch Session Saison = great flavor in a non-boozy beer, my wife really dug it as she's a saison fan and has been sticking to low-alcohol beers of late.
Mayflower Spring Hop = very good hop/malt balance, I typically don't really go for reds but this was good. Reminded me a bit of The Future Is Now from Gigantic.
Trillium Fort Point Pale = really nice out of the growler, sort of a midpoint between Founders Dry Hopped Pale and something like ZD? I like these types of beers that walk the line between APA and IPA.
― dan m, Thursday, 24 April 2014 13:15 (ten years ago) link
yeah i had that trillium growler last night too, good stuff. tasted ridiculously fresh, so much hop flavor sonsidering the abv, smooth too
― hug niceman (psychgawsple), Thursday, 24 April 2014 15:51 (ten years ago) link
glad you both enjoyed the trillium growler--that rapidly has become one of my favorite pale ales and somehow it's still flying a bit under the radar around here.

Hey, speaking of beer in the new era: is it time to start a new thread? This one is getting a bit unwieldy.

Posting in this thread to humble brag that a couple nights ago I drove out to this place in Redlands to buy a six pack of their IPA http://www.hangar24brewery.com

i had their apricot wheat wine a while back, i think i remember liking it

I bought two bottles of Lost Abbey Red Poppy a while back and opened one of them last night. Surprisingly dark, but light on the tongue and not-overpowering cherry flavor. The real treat of it was the finish/aftertaste though. Not many beers that I've wanted to swallow and breathe out with quite like that.
― dan m, Friday, 25 April 2014 14:27 (ten years ago) link
ooo, exciting. i'm opening my bottle of red poppy tmmrw.
