Beer 3.0: middle-aged degenerate Pokemon

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.

ooo, exciting. i'm opening my bottle of red poppy tmmrw.

WTF, which of you lunatics is going to try this:

I admit I'm intruigued

(typo)

so instead of getting drunk and fat from drinking you just get fat. sounds awesome.

btw - had the 2014 version the other day and it was fantastic

You'd have to get me drunk to convince me to eat several spoonfuls of active yeast before I drink.

I always thought the Sam Adams dude sounds drunk as shit in his commercials.

lol otm

Koch told me he keeps a breathalyzer around at all times just to assure he’s never too drunk.

i dunno, sounds like a sober guy to me!

He probably poops bread.

Decided to check out the beer shop on the other side of town, they have a pretty good selection (even basic US stuff is rare enough here).

what's the fourth bottle from the right?

Wild Beer Company Sourdough, it's the one beer I bought that I'd had before - nice and sour and refreshing.

had the weyerbacher Riserva today - delicious

The New Glarus black IPA is one of the better examples of the style I've tasted, I think. Real delicate balance of hops and roasty darkness.

This just in - 21st amendment hell or high watermelon still shit, but not as awful as it used to be. Evil twin smoked porter (don't recall the name) quite good, evil twin barley wine (same) really good, evil twin imperial porter (and again) HORRENDOUS HORSESHIT AVOID AVOID.

These are all 4 packs if that helps.

thank you for that valuable public service, will avoid

Evil Twin is usually good ime. I really, really like the one they have that's called (I think) "bikini" which is 2% abv and an apa. What do we think about scotch ales?

i will drink a skull splitter every so often by they don't usually have the types of flavors i'm interested in

was it the Lil B Imperial Porter you had, JJusten? Cuz I liked that one..

EVIL TWIN FOR ME:

LOVE:
Femme Fatale Yuzu/Femme Fatale Brett

LIKE JUST FINE:
Lil B Imp. Porter
YIN/YANG both good but too strong for regular drinking
CHRISTMAS EVEN IN A NEW YORK CITY HOTEL ROOM (stupidest name though.)

DID NOT LIKE AT ALL:
Bikini Beer

i've probably tried more of their beers that i'm just not remembering right now..

I don't think Evil Twin has Oregon distro? Portland folks would know.

i see evil twin around at a bunch of places. apex always has their imperial biscotti break on tap, i was fairly impressed by that one. they have tonssss of evil twin bottles at belmont station and john's marketplace and probably other places too, never for super cheap but yknow

the biscotti beers are the best

black people are cowards

if you read this far, i actually mean all humans are cowards.

man, gtfo

looool wrong thread, i'm sorry everybody

meant for ILH thread re: some shitty gawker piece on the sterling comment

Need to make a new thread & leave that as the last comment ;)

btw I picked up a grip of New Glarus (Barleywine, Dubbel, & Belgian Red) while in 'sconnie + one of those awes Central Waters Brewhouse Coffee Stouts in a bomber for $4

there is a lot of weird WI beer now that I wasn't ready to drop extra coin just to try -- O'so, Hinterland (knew about them but didn't know they bottled), MKE, Stone Arch, etc

Bought a couple bottles of Brewhouse Coffee today, plus a pack of the Dubbel. Best of all, I found a 4-pack of the Barrel Aged Cherry Stout, which I guess is more scarce than usual this year, even up in the WI.

Yeah, I didn't see that one. Lots of the Apple Beer, Spiced Ale, and Winter Warmer, all of which I say "thank you, no" to.

Enjoyed Dark Lord Day, though for various reasons why ended up just running over to pick up our allotment then headed back to Chicago for a BBQ and bottle share. The '14 Dark Lord is good, but didn't feel much different from '13 to me at all (biggest change is replacing the Intelligentsia coffee with Dark Matter - though the coffee is such a minor part that I'm not surprised it barely registered).

We also went through some of the Pipewoks Abduction variants - Coffee Break (which I already knew and loved), Mint Truffle(which I also loved, but I love mint a ton, and there's a lot of it in here so I can see why the more mint-averse may not like it) and the Cherry Truffle (more subtle than I expected after the mint, and really smooth).

honestly the MKE stuff is just straight up mediocre, and imo you dodged a bullet with the o'so stuff, ive hated every one i ever tried - super homebrew banana ester thing going on, same reason i hated the evil twin lil b

Stuck on a resort for work in Orlando this past week but did get to a liquor store to try some Cigar City. Only had the reg lineup though, so I just got sixers of Jai Alai, Florida Cracker, and Maduro. All good.

That's kind of what I figured. My wife and I were doing some fancy things (The American Club!) for our anniversary, and all the restaurants/bars there were mostly NG and CW with Ale Asylum and some other more national names thrown in, so I stuck to those. xp

Tasted Jai Alai at DLD too, thought it was pretty decent.

I was stuck in florida for a while recently and everyone recommended cigar city v highly.. didnt get to try much except jai alai maybe?
