no

isnt pliney supposed to be like the best IPA in history?

some consider it yes and technically a DIPA (double IPA)

and there are 2 of them, younger and elder
i missed the younger on tap, and the elder in bottles twice

no one ever gives advanced notice or there would be too many people (at least thats the assumption i assume) so they poop it on their site like the day before.

keep'n it real 4 tha regulars yo...

if u aint in the know than no pliny fo yo

and btw, at this point pliny the younger is over the hill for the year and clearly worth drinking

seriously i had it in february and almost shit my pan­ties because it was only a week old and so much flavor it was unreal. drinking pliny is like having a cup full of hop juice and you taste all these individual characters of hops but without the huge bitterness... i have no idea how Russian River does it


I had the younger a second time a month later and it tasted drastically different, nearly identical to pliny the elder except a little more alcohol

this reminds me, that dick from beaumonmarket still has me on his email chain

and joe, being the dude who has all the access to hair of the dog
have you seen much of them around? like took a look at them other than in passing when looking for doggie claws?

i have clearly seen adam of the woods, im sorry
but yea, i see them at beer places, never at the supermarket outside of the one that had jubel 10 in the cooler, and they only had blue dot

reason I ask is because the place where i am going to pick up a case of founders kentucky breakfast stout (when it comes in) also has a case of hair of the dog: cherry wood Adam

they also have cases of doggie claws now and before they had both fred and adam from the wood

but those cases run nearly 180...

ohh, thats cool
you get the "wood" and i get blue dot
ohh, ohh kay

but really, i wish i had better places here locally

i wish all the shit i really wanted to try wasnt $8 a bottle and only came in a case of 24 with a 50 cent discount

Drink more Yeungling?

eh only when im lazy... homebrew comes in at roughly the same price and significantly better tasting

would i be an alcoholic if i started driving to portland (aka 60 miles) before noon on every saturday to try various tap brews?
there are enough places to keep me occupied for the next 3 months easy.....

No, that would make you an aficionado.

Bought these today to start a cellared beer collection.

top one i want to find/try
second one, donno, but great divide always has good reviews

Scroll down on the Hercules link

Also, don't cellar any form of ipa m8 (unless you are looking to see how quick hop character can fade)
ipas are suppose to be enjoyed as fresh as possible
about the only exception I can think of that is an exception would be dogfish heads Burton baton but that still is better fresh IMO

this dont make no senses, being that IPAs were first made to survive long boat journies

if you have to question if you would be an alcoholic.. yes

awaiting adam to explain this in professional terms so i dont have to fail explaining it

duude, im soo high

caving on this, bought some beer today drinking ton8

proud of you

im still running daily, just drinking OFC
enough of that in this toilet though, more beer chat

local place has acquired more random things, though no idea the age (found a bottle of sam adams winter drink before july 08 )
picked up a 4 pack of yeti imperial stout, but i changed one bottle for a hercules
nother bottle of mirror mirror, bottle of fred, and some ipas (hub and alpha dog) and a bottle of laurelwood free range red

going to drink dominion ton8
ilu adam

i don't get it

right side of my nose is plugged, so heres my take on dominion

do i taste peppermint? do i smell peppermint? wtf is going on lol.
yes, i do infact taste peppermint. maybe im confusing this with something else, but peppermint is kinda distinctive.

its really good, and quite different than the alaska, this is seemingly thicker, and i can hardly tell there is alcohol. id like to nerd it up and give you all the hidden flavors, but i didnt realize i was so plugged up until after i started drinking it. i can still tell its pretty amazing stuff.

the "Indian" part can be thought of just like "Imperial"
in both cases, Indian for IPA and Imperial for Russian Imperial Stout (RIS), this is a dated term that reflects a time when hops were used merely as a preserative to ship long distance. In the imperial aspect, it was used to over hop stout beers that were sent to the russian imperial court. the only way the beer would get to them and still be drinkable is if a ton of hops were put in them to make the journey without going bad

today Imperial can refer to any number of things
Imperial or double can refer to an above average alcohol content, malt content, or hops

in the past it was used simply to be able to transport it from point A to B, today (with roughly 40 more strains and hybrids of hops) we have the luxory of clearly using hops just for their preservative quality but as as bitterness, flavor and aroma

make sense?

CURRENTLY DRINKING:
laurelwood free range red ale

this aint bad, touch of the ipa feel but clearly overly bitter at all. still the characteristics of a red beer (or at least when i think of a red ale). if you like hops, this is a great twist on a red. if you want a typical red, this may be something you think is a travesty.

update:

place had a single bottle for 5.49, a 4 pack for 15.59
bottled 1/20/2010, i like yeti, very rich, donno if its the hops but the few stouts ive had have huge ranges from being like 100% taste upfront to like the yeti, abundance of flavor throughout. and maybe i dont know what to expect from a stout, but they just seem to vary so much.

i really like this yeti stuff, maybe because of the hops though, donno

more i drink the more burnt choc i taste.
my ears pop with every swallow, kinda shitty

what happened to 2 weeks no brrr

Wrote reviews, getting used to writing about beer and figuring out what things are called!

Almost forgot this one:
http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/28/63

i absolutely did clearly like the steam character of this beer. and because of that i couldnt even formulate if i liked the rest of the beer, i could only taste the burnt steam flavor.

but gz on rating beer, im still just a wittle guy for ratings.

found a wilco tango foxtrot
and currently drinking http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/16068...latest&start=10
