I think edmund fitzgerald is, although it is very close

That would be bullfrog saison deluxe.

had a tasting with a few distributors of harpoon, guinness products (forget distributor but wanna say G something) and the owner of delanys...

wtf dan is Mr. Beer now. fk.

full sail session lager x 6

i think ive soundly developed a drinking problem.

I'm too lazy to click every link just to see what beers they are. Beer name at least should be mandatory, link optional

So I clicked them all anyway...

More details on the harpoon quad pliz. I have a bottle of that somewhere in the dungeon.

It was really malty, almost had a barleywine esque taste to it, look smell and taste I would clearly of said barleywine if it was given to me

And I knew you would click them all anyway, since I took the time to find all the links

Did they enjoy your contribution of old herb? And is that why you asked me if i wanted mine?

The old herb was the best beer hands down that was drank, it was so much better in the bottle than it was on tap

Fuck me running...and the Irish douche purchased extras
FFFFUUUUUUUUUUU

I know, I kicked myself when I just bought the extra stouts and clearly the fucking herb, FML

It's only 3 hours away for you. Call them up and go buy more.

Im in hazleton.

Ok, well it's only 6 hours away then...
I'm calling a snow day tomorrow and spending the day brewing. You in?

@ Joe
This brings a tear to my eye...

Its supposed to snow tomorrow?

No, we are suppose to get an inch of ice

i didnt get the awesome that most get from those 2 beers, though i thought they were both very good. hop rod was better though if i recall.

I rated them both lower than the average but still as an A-.
The hop rod rye was better tasting the racer 5 was better balanced and easier drinking... then again its 2 percent less alcohol so

I have a growler of racer X to consumer today to complete my bear republic kick

hows the velvet merlin? i dont see that around these parts

old standby ton8, tsunami stout

One of the better oatmeal stouts I've had. I got it in a random box from a dude in Cali.

JOOOOOOOOOOOOE!!!!!

GOING TO NEED TO GET MYSElF ONE OF THESE

growler of ghandi bot

Sierra Nevada Stout - Check (was tasty for my first stout)
Old Rasputin - Check (purchased but clearly drunken yet)

The store I went to (my first time inside one) had quite the large selection to pick from.
2 shelves proal 60 feet long of singles, large section of 4 packs and 6 packs warm
then a smaller section in the fridge behind it

Just got home from the trip to Athens, Oh. Jackie O's is fucking amazing.

The bottle release was set for Saturday 11:00 a.m., the actual brewpub didn't open until 9:00 a.m.
We arrived at midnight on Friday and drank until 2:30 a.m., checked into the hotel and took an hour long nap. Got in line shortly after 3:30 a.m. and at 6:00 a.m. they handed out calendar pages that gave us a numbered lineup so that we could leave and go get warm/something to eat and come back later.

Went back to the hotel, took an hour powernap and returned to the line up after grabbing a bite to eat. There was less than 200 bottles of each type of beer being released which meant only the first 70 people who lined up would get to buy 3 of each bottle. We were roughly numbers 20 and 21 in line. Since there was nearly 120 people who showed up before 7:00 a.m. they decided to cut the number back that you could buy from 3 to 2.

Secured bottles, placed them in vehicle and then the pandemonium started. Every single person in the place opened the most rare beer I have seen in awhile. Absolute free for all along with rounds of beer being purchased from the 40 different tap offerings. Everything being poured was over 9% alcohol, it was a sloppy drunken mess everywhere. Sometime around 2:00 p.m. a pizza was purchased for us. The crust was made from the spent brewery grains...amazing. Fast forward to 6:30 p.m. We wondered down the street and ate at some pseudo mexican/hippy restaurant. Decent beer on tap, amazing food. Went back to Jackie O's until 1 a.m. At some point around midnight I started an hour long conversation about brewing with the owner/brewmaster. As a departing gift we were given beer that was clearly served throughout the day in the form of 3 growler fills.

Sitting here looking at the aftermath, I have more beer in growlers that was free than the amount of bottles we were allowed to purchase.

when are we drinking it

Available in the next 2-3 days? I am unavailable from Thursday till Sunday because the mother in law is coming to visit for when we find out the sex of the baby on Friday.

Oh yea forgot to mention they do make some dam good spent grain pizza, only place I have ever had anything like it. Also sounds as if you made it to Casa and liked it. Remember what you got there?

Otherwise it sounds like a typical weekend in Athens, very drunk haha

Also I wish they would have done something like this while I was going to school there

where is your sense of adventure???

I didn't even look at the menu, the waitress said something about the special of the day being haddock and I went for it. Others had burritos, salads and 7 layer dip with pita bread and chips.

I shared quite a few brews with a guy named Nate who went to school there for 6 years and recently graduated and moved to Virginia. I have his contact info on BA, I thought you might have run into him. He brews and is obviously big into beer. I didn't bother asking him if he knew Jew Scott from DC but I should have.

Relating to finding the sex out on Friday I assume? We both are ancy to find out...well her more than me. I'm anxious for the nurse to give us the wrong sex so we can get everything ready only to find out the nurse was wrong an we will be bringing a boy home to a pink room, etc.

Na, cant say I did. Our homebrew club didnt get a ton of traction once we got our event shut down by Ohio liquor control

depends on results tomorrow...might go back to CT to get ready to move everything back depending

doing some fridge cleanup tonight
saranac bohemian pilsner... i stumbled upon a variety six pack of saranac brews and have no idea where they came from. my best guess is this was a variety case that Eric purchased and gave me the other half of it which would mean there are another set of 6 brews somewhere in one of the fridges...

meh, they have done better
