110

a friend recently gave me 4x bottles of the brown shugga substitute, i thought it wasnt bad at all

yea, its clearly bad, i just am never blown away. i really think its just the hop profile, its clearly for me.

deschutes red chair, nwpa
good shit

2nd 3 frogs ipa (elevator brewing co) of the night, will finish with either an old rasputin or old stock 2011.

I think next time I'm up that way I'll ask if they ever get older vintages of this. I'd love to try an 08 or 09.

brewing my 2nd commercially released beer today. this time in collaboration with a great american beer fest gold medal award winning and nationally recognized icon in the american craft beer scene

i am high on life right now

!

!

i want to see that poop brewery and i want to see it now

Adding rye to the mash

Brew house filling up with steam during boil/sanitation cycle

Cleaning spent grain out mash tun. in b4 happy cows

inside look of mash tun while cleaning

me filling the barrels with the unfermented beer (wort)

side shot of the super premium white wine barrels we filled with the beer

topped the barrels off until they overflowed


once finished, these will be bottled and sold onsite. ~500-600 bottles

Adam - you're just pretty friggin' awesome. I thought you should know that.

Retail price per unit? - And are you allowed do discuss compensation?

i request one bottle
thanks
ill send nudes

No idea on price yet. I think the owner wants to stockpile a few different brews to have a grand opening release/party once the new bigger brewery is open in April/May.

also, clearly to sound gay, but you look fucking stoked in that picture

im talking like full tent

haha.

it was an awkward part in the brewing process. that white pvc pipe that is coming through the wall is the crushed grain. the grain we weighed out and ran through a mill in the other room. its pulled up through the pipe with an auger. since i wanted to use rye, that cant be put through the mill or it will turn to powder. so i had to add 80 pounds of it with that small plastic bucket directly into the mash while the other crushed grains were pouring in

standing above a kettle that is 150 degrees and pouring 50 buckets of flaked rye into a shoot was cumbersome. i was sweating in minutes.

i will do everything in my power to hook you guys up. but please know that if the beer turns out as well as we hope it does, we might sacrifice a barrel or 2 to split and blend to innoculate some future batches. if thats the case, the yield might only be 200-300 bottles this time around.

Dan hasnt chimed in yet but i know he will want some too. of course my friends and family are lobbying hard to get the lions share in this as well. i am likely getting a case to disperse. time will tell

i want to be a paying customer
i guess what im asking is if you can just procure me the purchase.

Same. That or give me a headsy up when I can purchase, and hopefully it's available online.

Support your local stakem.

its gonna be a brewery only release. those that show up can buy it. limits per person will depend how well the event is attended

that being said, i will purchase as many as possible within reason

is this brewery in tower city, city of towers?
really happy for you here
must be awesome to brew on that large of a scale versus a 5 gallon tub that produces 2 cases

hah no. this is near harrisburg and the yield per batch is around 120 -140 gallons depending on strength of beer and time boiled. they are constructing a brand new facility (floor was poured yesterday) that will have the potential to have 120 beers on tap. the brewhouse there will be 4x larger so those batches will be around 500-600 gallons

Knowing your limitations id be glad to share one with you/others at your place or somewhere so the 1 bottle gets the most use, and maybe save one for myself for later.

$42.97 plus tax, why is this more expensive than their other beers?

i give up on trying to understand Troegs. they jumped the shark

but to answer your question. originally they put twice the amount of hops in that beer than any other they made which drove up costs. add to the fact its seasonal and hyped up allows them to charge more because the demand is still there regardless of them making the same recipe as they once did...or clearly

thats all i figured was that it wasnt available year round so people were willing to pay more. this batch was bottled 19 days ago

the best that i had was from an unfiltered growler when adam/me knew someone who worked at troegs imo

i was a nonbeliever until i tasted that amazing nectar for myself
never in my life could i possibly imagine that running a beer through an artificial means of filtering would alter a brews character THAT much. however i guess it makes sense. if you run a brew threw a micron filter, clearly only do you remove the yeast but you remove some of the essential oils/lupulin that the hops impart

rip irish beer friend

lol bet you havent seen him since then either (the friday before i left)

drinking out of the bottle
come at me

havent seen or even heard from him until i pooped that link about phish

i admittedly did this with 3 bottles of nugget nectar friday because i didnt think it was worth dirtying a glass over

new bud beer is a golden amber lager
thats what you have given the world? i at least expected a guinness clone or something...

i was drinking a lil sumpin, going to try brown shugga substitute and if it has the same hop profile then im done with them. hop stoopid is ok, their ris is also. but their biggest alure is their price point, clearly their flavor so

I think for shits and giggles I'll make it my next review.

But do I really want to waste the money? Esp when it would be my first beer in like 10 days?

becks saphire - black bottle - still the same shit but with different hops
bud black crown - black bottle - still the same shit but with caramel food coloring

i guess black packaging is the new thing?

duh

oya

colorado native: coors light + hops

I'd probably stop shipping to philly, what a terrible city.

yea, they can make do with malt liquor

Rocky doesn't condone drinking.

beer is for fags

need an update on where you live again. coming out your way march 22/23 for a beer release between pittsburgh and erie. I am considering paying another visit to fatheads in Cleveland since I will already be that close
