sixpoint gose "jammer" is garbage fwiw
― marcos, Sunday, 10 May 2015 21:41 (nine years ago) link
That's a little harsh I guess
― marcos, Sunday, 10 May 2015 21:42 (nine years ago) link
it just totally lacks the sourness that is kind of the main attribute of a gose imo besides the saltiness
― marcos, Sunday, 10 May 2015 21:44 (nine years ago) link
av gose is good but Westbrook is still the best American gose I've tried
― marcos, Sunday, 10 May 2015 21:45 (nine years ago) link
i can not hang with any of sixpoints beers really. sometimes yer at a shitty bar and their ipa is the best thing on tap and yer like "ok, well, fine" but i am not a fan of them in general. i am not a big fan of the two roads 'rye 95' beer but i like their saison, double IPA and pilsener.
currently drinking "the terry riley beer:" and it is fuckin delicious. you can prob find a bottle in brooklyn for $12ish.
― ian, Sunday, 10 May 2015 23:14 (nine years ago) link
pretty sure i've said this up thread but i am not a big gose fan. i like the ritterguts but most of them are too salty for me. i wld rather drink a berliner weiss or other light sour .
― ian, Sunday, 10 May 2015 23:16 (nine years ago) link
sixpoint must have some slick as hell marketing b/c their beers certainly don't stand on their own.
― call all destroyer, Sunday, 10 May 2015 23:49 (nine years ago) link
ya definitely. I think I mentioned this before but the "Brooklyn" location on the label probably helps a little too. I've been disappointed by pretty much everythkng I've tried from them
― marcos, Monday, 11 May 2015 00:07 (nine years ago) link
Ian I also thought the two roads Pilsner was pretty good despite the rye 95 being shit
― marcos, Monday, 11 May 2015 00:08 (nine years ago) link
I liked the Sixpoint Crisp that I bought not too long ago, but yesterday I had it out, and it did not taste good at all. I wonder if it had been stored improperly or something.
― o. nate, Monday, 11 May 2015 02:42 (nine years ago) link
spotted and picked up rainbow in curved air today....very curious b/c if it is what it's described as for $10.50 they'll have themselves a winner
― call all destroyer, Monday, 11 May 2015 17:49 (nine years ago) link
it is great. not super sour but tart and delicious with a hint of peach. i am going to buy two more bottles probably.
― ian, Monday, 11 May 2015 17:59 (nine years ago) link
smuttynose hayseed "country table beer" is a pretty good low abv (3.8%) summer saison i thought, a wonderful lunchtime beer imo
― marcos, Monday, 11 May 2015 18:00 (nine years ago) link
tried Breakside's Lunch Break session IPA yesterday, very nice. Also went down to the Hop Valley brewery and had Citrus Mistress on nitro, that was delicious.

Blakkr seems way sweetr than last year, maybe 'cause I got the Surly version instead of 3Floyds.

The Grrrz set was just released this past weekend and is now trading at a completely ridiculous tier.

hey can anybody tell me what hops are being used in Gilgamesh Brewing's Oedipus IPA? I want to avoid them in the future if possible. Definitely not my thing. they are from Salem, Oregon. Beer is fine, but the hop taste feels very very off.

― dan m, Thursday, 28 May 2015 01:45 (nine years ago) link
was in Copenhagen a couple weeks ago and Three Floyds was selling bottles of Dark Lord for 666 krone at the BBQ place they recently opened up with Mikkeller over there. cute pricing but that comes out to $100! cheaper than a plane ticket to Indiana but still...

what are some beers yall are enjoying this summer? it is hot right now and i am looking for things that are tart, tasty, refreshing, sour (but not that heavy flemish red sour, more like gose/berlinner weisse sour)

The Anderson Valley Holy Gose is back at Whole Foods, now in bottles.
― nickn, Thursday, 28 May 2015 16:55 (nine years ago) link
btw i tried the victory cherry gose, it was okay i guess, in general i do not think gose or berliner weisse are improved by having fruit added. anderson valley blood orange gose was pretty good though
― marcos, Thursday, 28 May 2015 18:11 (nine years ago) link
I had a New Glarus berliner weisse the other day that was very good but yeah you can only get it in Wisconsin.
― dan m, Thursday, 28 May 2015 18:14 (nine years ago) link

Some German friends of mine found it humorous that Americans drink Berliner Weiße without fruit syrup.
That said, De Garde fruited berliners which were relatively easy to trade for last summer are now impossible to get without paying a visit to Tillamook, OR.

just wanna take a moment to big up Elysian's "Dayglo" IPA, giving me very pliny vibes. but a bit mellower and more grapefruity.
― ian, Monday, 1 June 2015 01:32 (nine years ago) link
tried the terry riley beer and it was great! lighter than i expected, more peach puree flavor than fresh peach but it worked
perennial hopfentea is a nice summery sour too, wish it was canned or cheaper. nice fruity herbal tea notes as-advertised, have yet to be disappointed by anything from this brewery
oh and i liked the kirsch gose too actually, tho it's almost on the level of lindemans framboise in terms of the sweet-sour balance. like a sessionable kriek i guess?
― hug niceman (psychgawsple), Tuesday, 2 June 2015 02:34 (nine years ago) link
went to Crooked Stave on mordy's advice and had a good time - the Surette Reserva Cassis was kind of mind-blowing

Sometimes it's more economical to drink their beer at bars (swanky even!) then to purchase it at retail from a liquor store!
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 21:21 (nine years ago) link
will be in Denver for a week, anything cool coming out of CO at the moment?almost too much to keep up with these days, but yeah crooked stave is great ... great divide is classic (though their beers are probably easier to come by in other parts of the world)... our mutual friend has some good stuff too.
falling rock taphouse in downtown is a pretty amazing beer bar.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 21:23 (nine years ago) link
If any of you CO dudes can get any of the Fruit Stand or The Cut beers from Casey in Glenwood Springs please please let me know!
Also, does Trinity distro their beer throughout the state? Looking specifically for 7 Day Sour and/or 365 Day Sour.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 21:27 (nine years ago) link
i don't see trinity too much, but i think it pops up occasionally in my local liquor store.headed to glenwood springs later this month, doesn't look casey will be open then, though! never had any of their beers... good, i take it?
― tylerw, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 21:58 (nine years ago) link
I've only had a few of their non-fruited saisons and they are fantastic. The Fruit Stand/The Cut brews are hard to track down.
Do they keep odd hours?
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 22:03 (nine years ago) link
yeah website said they only had open hours on the first saturday of the month? maybe you can get their stuff around town though, i don't know.

Plenty of Trinity seems to be getting out of CO, seeing it all over NYC and all of the good bottle shops in Portland had a decent selection. Pricing is always terrible though, might be the worst value per oz out there (besides those tiny JW Lees barley wines I suppose)
