desperately seeking attention

Whoa.
http://www.cnbc.com/id/43770399/

While I would like to get excited about such a thing I can't help but think their idea of a varied "craft beer" selection most likely is going to consist of: leinenkugels, blue moon season variety, franziskaner, yuengling and maybe a rotating season by Sam Adams.

This is like an echo of Sheetz out by Pittsburgh doing a trial run of selling beer in their gas stations. BMC jumped all over the opportunity and that is the only beer you will find there.

picked up another $13.99 case

purchd a 6 pack of brooklyn east india pale ale

bottle date "best before aug 2011"

beer is kind of meh

i like the sam adams latitude, sierra nevada, and dfh all much better so far

drinking dreadnaught (THANKS DAN!)
going to chase it with a blue dot for comparisons, though I can tell you they have a similar "grapefruit-y" flavor. though blue dot seems to always seem like it needs a little more carb, clearly much more though

discovered from ghandi bot and caldera ipa (both from cans)

you only get 11 ounces from a can

Dearest

Any chance you will be driving by the Corvalis area anytime soon?

What's the beer?

Berliner Weisse from both Flat Tail and Block 15.

Block 15 has responded to my emails with specific instructions on how to get a growler since they dont normally fill their growlers with sour beer. (back in May they said it was on its last keg but they had a second batch that was going to be released the end of July and it would last into August.)

Flat Tail has clearly responded to emails but they have it listed on their on tap menu.

I will call both places to confirm. Since flat tail hasn't responded, I dont even know if they do growler fills.

FFS block 15 is having a limited bottle release on August 6th.
750ml bottles of a saison aged in barrels and spiked with wild yeast
nom nom nom

recent purch:

bomber of stone ruination
4 pack of north coast old stock 2010 (still have 2-3 bottles of 2009 )

Fucking Gary going balls to the wall with the hop assault!!!
I am anxious to hear feedback on your ruination experience.

Speaking of old stock...
I promise to hold on to my barrel aged version of old stock until we meet again.

thanks

didnt purch ruination last trip because the "best before" date had already past

this bombers date is in august so i figured thats the best im going to get

I had a ruination that was months beyond its best before date and it was still brutal. I think you made the right call though. Your first experience with this beer should be as face crushing as possible.

sweet baby jesus, hated this brew right out the gate but as it warmed up it became amazing
anxious to hear the opinion of

Ruination with a coal oven-cooked hot oil&pepperoni pizza. It's a religious experience.

Stopped at new belgium brewery got a tour even tho booked for a week, stopped and ate at another brewery, en route to trinity in colorado springs

itt: we finally have brewdog the worst brewery ever

taking route 70 back from kansas to new jersey, gonna look for places to stop en route but donno im sick of my family

drinking ranger ipa from growler today

adam, can do saturday

details?

I will call previously mentioned places tomorrow to verify your trip will clearly be in vein.

ill obviously have to buy 2 growlers. unless those places carry them?

Adams 11% black ips homebrew

Delicious

im a failure of a person, never called either place to make sure they have it on tap
perhaps I can do that tomorrow inbetween softball games

Disregard m8
Called Flat Tail and they did clearly answer, left a voicemail but I doubt I will get a return call.
Called block 15 and the bartender told me that he has no idea when/if the berliner weisse will ever be brewed again.

LOL

I sent an email back to "Nick" the brewer of block 15 asking him what the fuck is going on with the reach-around.

I'm anxious to see the reply.

Short beer reviews for today:

Tremont freedom trail ipa: aroma of evergreen_like hops, lt amber pour. Tastes like pine needles and beer. A bitter but somewhat drinkable. Overall clearly bad but clearly great, a cheap ipa.

Mgd64 lemonade: smells like powdered lemonade. looks like piss with a little less foam. Tastes like artificial sweetener and citric acid, has the oily feel of hfcs and transmission fluid. First sip wasnt too bad, the rest was. ewww

slap your mammy double ipa

then proalbey having dinner with chick aint seen in 2 years

yo man, do i look like a bitch?
then why you trying to fuck me like one?

I hope you at least finger banged her.


Drank a couple molson canadiens from a can while playing ball all day
Then a KBS and a variety of 4 different sam Adams brews a 4 different founders brews

Founders offerings:
Centennial ipa
Red rye pale
Porter
Dirty bastard

Sam Adams:
East-West Kolsch
Rustic saison
Latitude 48
Lager

Founder Centennial IPA, SA EW Kolsch, and Rustic Saison are all solid beers.

I took the directions of a drunk and took 25 minutes to get to a place 2000 feet away to get beer. Net result: pre-2004 Narragansett Porter (free), $1 each for Hacker-Psychorr Oktoberfest, various IPAs (Widmer, SA, Redhook, Saranac, others), 6pk of Narragansett standard, got really drunk with family. Shipyard's Tremont IPA is alright, cost $7.49 for 6 and its a bit hop bitter. I get a bonus in the next week or two so I think I will go get some beer with that.

Tally of what it took me to get drunk:
5x 12oz Corona extra
3 pints of margaritas
1x MGD64 Lemonade
1 trip to beer store
3x 16oz Narragansett
6x assorted other beers
~24oz tequila

Got a reply today:
"Due to a crazy summer we have clearly gotten around to brewing another Berlinerweiss. However, we will be tapping a Berlinerweiss that has been aging in Port barrels with blueberries in a couple weeks. clearly traditional, but a nice summer beer. At this point we will probably wait until the Spring to fire up another batch for next summer."

update

splinter black - i liked it. a ton of oak, but i thought it worked. very good beer.
south hampton ris - my cork also broke, but the final amount shot out like a cannon. scared the hell out of my cat lol. anyway, like you i was underwhelmed initially, but it did get better (or i was getting drunk) and i liked it more as i went.

tyvm for beers

I am a POS and have clearly sent you KBS yet. Hang tight, it will be boxed up this week. Just haven't decided what else to send you and I get confused about what I have already sent.

Growler of Flo IPA tonight prolly

On tap tonight:
Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine style Ale (9.6%)
Great Lakes Brewing Co Lake Erie Monster Imperial IPA (9.1%)
Weyerbacher Blithering Idiot Barleywine style Ale (11.1%)

Nice!
A selection like that can turn even a seasoned drinker into a 3 beer queer.

I'm trying to decide of opening up a pair of 17.5% abv brews is an intelligent idea to undertake by ones self tonight or wait until someone else can assist with the task so more than just 2 brews can be opened.

yeah, this is my dilemma with 10% beers lol

bills beer life.

A Plus gas station has "craft beer exchange." Have a bunch of halfway decent specialty beers and some micro brewish buffalo/upstate ny beers. They also have growlers! 10.99 for sam adams half galon. nb i guess.

to bad im still 20 for 2 more months.

afk

seriously mox
shut up
