Nugget Nectar found - achievement unlocked.

Also have some Southern Tier 2x Stout and somthing else around here.

It's aged in whiskey barrels, but can't remember the name. Even Tab likes it.

abyss 2010
this beer was infinitely better when it didnt have wine barrel aging.

When we drank the lineup of Abyss 2006 through 2011. The 2010 vintage was a contender for being my favorite of them all. Whether it be the barrels used or the base recipe for that year I am clearly sure. Makes me wish I had more because it is going to get nothing but better in another year or 2.

And since im pooping here, I apologize for my delay in sending you a box Joe. I need to hold off for awhile while. Please know a bottle of Black Tuesday has your name on it.

you had me at hello

Just a Nugget Nectar and Founders Dirty Bastard weekend.

Probably growler of beer from Glenwood canyon brewing in Glenwood springs, might be the ipa or a seasonal if it looks good

just incase youve never seen this

last drinking weekend for a while, I must enjoy it!

went to a porter tasting tonight, i hate porters but it was still pretty good
had some black butte was nb
all in all whatever, hate porters but i feel okay so whatever

special shout out fuck you to joe
how ya doin adam
go fly a kite eric


bye

no one hates porters
shut your pie hole

3 bombers gn8

haha, i dont hate them, they are just my least favorite beer class. though i will say i probably hate old english porters.

anyways, we sampled a shit ton of midwest porters, and then someone passed around some aged black butte and everyone was in congruence that that is what a porter should taste like... nothing else was the same after that.

black butte is so freaking creamy, almost a buttery quality. its one of my go to beers, especially when its on sale for $12/12 pack.
did you have Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald? thats an awesome one too.

in fact, ive got one black butte still in the fridge. its after 10 am. going to have it.

pretty cool

yeah, but most of the stouts we had were way better than it. the aged edmund was just like it's name, sank at the end

well a stout is a more complex style than a porter imo, and i find porters better fresh.

super late edit: stouts and porters are such an ambivalent term anymore, though my minds picture of a porter is like a session stout. lighter, brighter (in flavor, clearly color). i have no real reason why i feel this way.

I think imma go to the GABF in october

And imma try to convince to come

beers for michigans championship game:
bomber laurelwood mother lode golden ale (never had this before)
bomber laurelwood workhorse ipa
firestone walker 2012 succuba (clearly sure if ill crack this, we shalst see how the game goes)

sounds like is taking tomorrow off too

nope, just a monday night bro

i apologize for my lack of participation in this lately. cut back on drinking and been busy with life

i drank a beer last night that was my first jaw-dropping experience in a long time. voodoo brewing's black magick imperial stout 15% aged exclusively in pappy van winkel barrels. absolutely amazing. it was one of the beers released at the event where I was munching on the pig head

i have the same beer also aged in buffalo trace barrels and another variation aged in lairds apple brandy. i cannot wait to try them. it took a lot of reservation last night to just enjoy the PVW version and clearly crack into one or both of the others

@ Dan
Odell brewing is something I assume you have regular access to? Keep your eyes out for "Tree Shaker" its a DIPA brewed with 3,000 pounds of Colorado peaches. I want to hear your opinion about it and if it is half as good as people are saying it is. I think its a corked and caged 750ml bottle.

@
I never heard of sticky fingers until you mentioned it. People on BA and untappd have been flipping their shit over it talking about how next time its released they are taking a pack of mules to get 3-4x their allocations. Shit must be good?

had some yuengling, was great

I have no beer - and since I started dieting haven't had much but the odd Sam Adams light.

This blows.

I need to start drinking again. need empty calories

no such thing as empty calories

you're an empty calorie

workhorse ipa 22 ounces of bliss

the truth cuts deep

black butte xxiv
first time ive gotten the orange flavor daniel has been referring to
odd

its proal my 4-5th one too

obligatory told ya so

Stone- Espresso Russian Imperial Stout

finally, an easy to acquire "normal" beer that will be sold at my local grocery store for $7-9 a bomber that i intend to buy plenty of.

I kinda swore off stone when they fucked around with that odd beers for odd years dumbness. Last time (2011) they did the RIS with belgian yeast and anise. I think this one sounds pretty tasty.

that anise was fucking horrible. maybe its better with age, ill never know. but regular stone ris is a huge "ill take a case please". great affordable beer to have around.

Stone RIS was one of the first beers I started aging in my cellar by the case and enjoyed/drank too much to let age beyond a couple years. It only needs a year and mellows into an even more awesome brew. I will have to take inventory and see what I have left. Just for the sake of experimentation, I think i have a single bottle from '06 through '09 tucked away.

1/4 of all beer sold in oregon are IPAs

joe probably buys most of that

10 barrel ipa funpack in my fridge right now. or rather the 2 that are left. the ipa was solid, wheat ipa nb, black ipa meh (but the style is meh), and the brown ipa was odd.

I guess this should be directed @

I opened an upright oyster stout this past weekend. My first time ever having a beer that smelled like walking along the ocean or bay. Ridiculous fishy/oyster smell overtop of an a solud base stout. I still dont know if I liked or hated it.

I never am a fan of mineral flavors in beer and this one really had it. For the most part, every oyster stout ive had in the past was sort of a novelty. Yeah it has oysters in it to "increase the body/mouthfeel" but this one was over the edge.

It is worth the experience. Just saying.

ive never had an oyster beer (that i recall lol). ive seen them and just cant figure out how the two flavors would be appealing together. i suppose ill try one at some point, and upright may be it since its got your vote.

there is also a growler only bar near my house that i never knew about. they rarely advertise it seems, and are clearly visible to the main drag (little strip mall off to the side behind other buildings). 30 taps of mostly nw, mostly non bottled beer. $10-12/64 oz.

whelp

stop dragging feet, get there!

DISO your opinion about boneyard brewing too btw since my friend was out there and claimed it to be the highlight of the trip. i think they had a pale ale or ipa that was flirting in the top ranks for awhile on BA

like i said, i had plenty of oyster stouts and that one was the first that actually had noticeable oyster inclusion

a bit overcarbonated though too
