yea and there is clearly shit to do then on a non homecoming/fest weekend because everyone is still drunk/still drining/hungover from the night before

well it seems they are pro-bottle sharing so I will most likely have a box of beer in tow to share

iso beer bar in PA...imma miss that part of CT I guess...

better than i expected

good, singular in the coffee/choc profile, but very good nonetheless. ty.

capt morgan 100 proof + sam adams cream stout

Gonna rock one of these tonight

gatorade

clearly nearly as good as I thought it was going to be based off of how others raved about it. Sadly my local brewpub does better.

Moving on to one of these:

Made a very successful beer run on Saturday, acquired these:

Currently drinking PBR because I needed something to go with my poop-work fast food meal and I'm clearly pairing the excellent beer with value menu hot dogs and breakfast sandwiches.

wow this beer looked and smelled wonderful, took a sip and was complete shit

belhaven stout

yeah yeah
gatorade

fat tire

why

clearly available in PA and a friend from Texas gave me one

and I have a 1554 Enlightened Black Ale by new belgium that I need to drink too
will probably take care of it after i finish building my shelves in the basement to store my beer on instead of having it in boxes on the floor

flying mouflan
nugget nectar
cask sea hag dry hopped w/citra
new batch of ghandi bot (more orange than usual)
3 judges barleywine

ilu adam

tomorrow will be a night of greatness

ah, just you have hopback always available to you which is a much better amber

hopback is bad compared to nugget nectar
and tis the season for nugget nectar!
but for a regular amber, yes hopback is quite good

ofc i was speaking non special release stuff

fat tire is a good solid brew that you cant get anywhere out west but it is still a micro brew that got bmc'd with growth

20 years of brewing will do that i guess?

nugget nectar isnt really "special" it is just seasonal
ok, well yeah i guess it is pretty special in a window-licking shortbus kinda way

mouflan > nectar IMO

adam, is aging it worthwhile?

seems to be the case

happened to sam adams a bit imo
sierra nevada seems to have avoided it though
pyramid has fallen victim to it from what I have seen of them
goose island minus their special releases

probably more

i would argue that mouflan is clearly better than nectar.. i mean in it's own right it is good but stylistically there are better barleywines than mouflan and there are clearly imperial reds that are better than fresh nugget (that I have had.)

mouflan is one of those things where Troegs tries to use their fresh, over-hopped character to make it better and it fails.

i prefer mouflan with some age over fresh mouflan, i am currenly working on getting a bottle of mouflan's original release which was a scratch beer so that we can have a tasting of 3 year old mouflan, 2 year old, 1 year old and fresh when it is released next year

i havent been a fan of any single brewery for more than 5 years (except for troegs) to be able to follow a trend in them losing quality or going main-stream

even when i try to compare how i felt a brewery "use to be" compared to what they are now or how their beer tastes now it isn't a fair comparison considering the way i analyze beer today is nothing like it was 2 or more years ago

Having never had it before, and only having it fresh this year I cannot comment on that, but will take your word on it.

I want to brew beer, fyi

Just so long as its clearly 0 degrees out, and windy

We can make that happen. I have some equiptment that has been retired that you can use.

I am very disappointed that I couldn't be there

Currently drinking

Rochefort 8

I have a bottle of that on my bureau waiting for either tomorrow or next weekend, I have never had any of theirs before.

gr8 stuff

fw 14

going to a bar/club/restaurant for a m8s bday tonight

I was told of the beer selection "you won't be impressed"

Then just go Boston Lager/SNPA, its what I do out at most places without beer selection

Should have been sleeping for 6 hours now but couldn't fall asleep at 4:30 so it looks like I'm pulling an all nighter and driving the 5+ hours to long island

A little more than 2 cases of beer packed and ready to go. Hoping to get a chance to sit down with the owner of Southampton brewery and let him try my Berliner weisse

took a shit
had lunch
did some other shit
took a shower
played some games
went to dinner
playing some guitar now
maybe some moar games later

really good, surprisingly hot though. clearly too much but more noticeable than i expected. really good.

Jesus fucking Christ why do I trust others' judgment, it wasn't a bar, it was a total shithole dive that pretends to be classy and also stops letting guys in when they don't have enough women. Had I been given a remotely accurate description I wouldn't have wasted a Friday night and $20 of gas trying to get there.

Tried to go to Prime 16 instead, but there was no parking anywhere, roads blocked by snow, and police blocking off even more. Going to drink a pint or two of box wine and fall asleep now.

great flavor if it wasnt muted, but it is and i donnno
ohh, possible julian date code, further proof my local distribution holds shit until it is past its prime to pawn off to loca establishment, which is the only decent beer place in 30 miles. anyway, this is a 120 day old beer. fuck.
