80

24 oz yuengling premium tonight

lots of them

first drink of abyss =

abyss is on tap in philly next friday
no indication of year, i think im going

btw, another case of black butte xxiii hit the local store
it was released 5 months ago

Bottled 24x 24oz + 2x 12oz and kegged 5 gallons of hoppy APA. We aimed to differentiate it by using citra hops, but pre-bottling, it matches up perfectly to the real thing
This beer was made in honor of three expecting couples who are close to us, so we're giving them 7 bombers each, then drinking the keg ourselves.



Oregon has some sort of intermediate distributor system, right?

yea, you cant distribute directly
we have some silly rules here

FRIDAY WHERE I AM THERE

And parabola
And KBS

It's a stout lovers wet dream. It was an event seemingly created for you Dan. "Capone's black Friday." Starts at 8 a.m. we are departing my house at 5:30

wow, i hate both of you fags

Im seriously clearly even kidding, I am going to be in philly next friday

mom
figgy pudding
imagine

!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wasn't joking in my poop either... Irish wonder wants to go as well. I want to be there when they open to enjoy some breakfast brews, eat breakfast and then possibly do some christmas shopping at king of prussia.

I went last year and it was pretty fucking awesome. The breakfast dishes they prepare to go with the beer is OFC. This year looks to be even better.

Maybe 15 people in line at mom

clearly eve getting out of my car to stand in line until it opens

Reasons why I should have got here earlier: 2008 + 2009 mom.
People who got 2008 + 2009: 3 I think.

I did get 1 2010 and a case of 2011

Oh, its a morning thing

just so its all together

12 moms @ 20 (you wanted 4?)
6 figgy pudding @ 15 (i may only be able to part with 2 of these)
6 imagine @ 7 (assume 3 for me, 3 for you?)

exactly how many of adam and fred were you and dan wanting? i cant tell who wants what exactly, or if im just doing 50% me, 50% you 2 (yes, you are a couple now)

I got called for an emergency request to do some work in 20 minutes moving a production database to a new server. I hope to get it done in an hour. When I am done I will get on vent so we can discuss.

un-fucking real. my work PC is frozen in a shutting down state... I can't remote in to it and now need to drive in to harrisburg to do this. }|}SDF|}#$%|@# im drinking heavily when i get back

lmk when back ill still be working on the simcoe growler

ill also be drinking out of a growler
clearly really

obviously adam clicks shut down and immediately turns off his monitor as he runs out the door on fridays

figgy pudding 10/10
ive never had anything quite like this
my initial reaction to mouthfeel is to compare it to chimay blue
the bourbon is really subtle, comes out more in the nose than the taste, but i dont think that takes away from this
pretty outstanding

i had put this in the fridge for a couple of hours when i got home
now that its been our for a good hour the rest of the flavors are really coming out
also, i love when the added flavors are subtle

btw, block 15 would be a place id be at a couple times a week if it was in my town, awesome place

Bottled my banana melomel tonight and its nearly 2 years old, almost caught up now.

cracked 2011 mom
will report back

and once again im reminded of just how awesome beer can bee
its a combination of the perfect style for my tastes and just an awesome beer

Narragansett Porter is good this year, I like the chocolate and coffee flavors in it. Fits into my limited beer budget too.

kegged 10 gallons of fox grape berliner weisse
also kegged 10 gallons of pumpkin ale so that it can be ready to consume on thanksgiving

im clearly totally happy with the way the pumpkin ale turned out. the use of all those pumpkins made it come out almost with a veggie aspect instead of pumpkin. since i spiced it so lightly, that is hardly there as well. i added a couple of vanilla beans and i am contemplating adding some combination of cinnamon and ginger to try and give it more character. also note for next time, use more caramel malts

sounds like there is still imagine to be had at block 15
heading down first thing
either buying beer and having a strawberry fields or just having a strawberry fields

took a pour of one of the pumpkin ales that I kegged last night and i got to admit that it isn't as bad as i made it out to be yesterday

right now on the discovery channel: "how beer saved the world"

iso cable

I have it recording. Come drink black tuesday and bourbon county rare and we will watch it.

bcs rare
fag

its pretty fucking good stuff, dont be a dick

IT HAS RARE IN IT'S NAME IT HAS TO BE GOOD

I CAN SMELL THE RARITY

Local place is having a mystery/guess the beer contest, looking for leads on what it might be.

It's a collaboration between an East Coast brewery and a European brewer, the Euro introduced over 50 new beers in 2010 and is known for pushing boundaries. I had the beer described to me as being something like a saison with a bit of bubblegum taste

edit: pretty sure it's Broederlijke Liefde by De Proefbrouwerij with Brian O'Reilly of Sly Fox Brewing. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/3521

Euh, both those brewers/breweries are euh. No disrespect to the "hometown" brewers sly fox but seriously... De prof is just euhhh

Beer related to-dos:
Bottle the beer that has been barrel aged
Check acidity of wild fox grape Berliner
Get supplies for Bryan to brew on Friday
Build shelves in garage and another rack in shed
Put Dans beer in my fridge to drink on his birthday without him

If you can get ahold of it try Tuzlanski Pilsner its the best beer i have drank and i am a pisspot.

Apparently that wasn't it. I'd have to actually make it down there if I really want to figure it out.

i have been buying 12 packs of heineken recently. does this make me a douchebag?

just makes you a liker of "first drink is always skunky" beer

case of abyss purchased, 8 for adam /dan
