Definitely not enough boot leather in beers these days.BBA Three Philosophers. Raisins, toffee, cherries, boot leather, slight bourbon booziness. So complex.

Inspired me to crack a Unibroue Maudite dubbel -- not quite BA Three Philosophers, but still quite tasty.Combo of pineapple and grapefruit sculpin for now. I can already foresee all kinds of bad decisions happening tonight.
No #hazebro until tomorrow when my brother is dropping off some double dry hopped Sue.
Had a few of these earlier. Now considering a Grouper.
Is that a new one? I haven't had that yet, will have to find it.Had a few of these earlier. Now considering a Grouper.
Who makes that?Jade might just be my ATF APA -- just so effing good.
18th Street, of course. Happy to send ya some GB...Who makes that?
Would definitely trade some Old Nation hops for Chicago hops18th Street, of course. Happy to send ya some GB...
I'm assuming you mean on tap? Pretty sure the bottles are gone. They need to do some refining for mega releases like the one on Saturday. I had to bail on the line 2,5 hrs in. Pretty bummed!I'll have to get back to Transient Ales Friday for some more Kentuckley. The Buckley was very good also. Meanwhile I'll go to Tapistry across the street for some gin barrel-aged Mr Orange w/lime.
Jade is made by Foothills out of North Carolina. They also make Hoppyum which is a solid IPA and currently in my kegerator.Ilov80s said:Who makes that?
That sounds fantastic.Alibi Ale Works

SINGLE BARREL DARK SAISON
This very special beer is our beloved dark saison aged in a single cabernet sauvignon wine barrel for 21 months with two strains of brettanomyces. This barrel tasted so good we couldn't bring ourselves to blend it with others, and we decided to showcase it's intense barrel character in a very small run of bottles. We get notes of tart black cherries, leather, tobacco, toasted oak, a hint of brett funk, and surprisingly minimal oxidative character for being in a barrel for nearly 2 years! 9.0% abv.
Somewhat off topic but last Wednesday I bought a new keg tossed it in the kegerator and all was right with the world. Thursday night I pull myself a pint and it is warm.Just bought and put together a brand new 2-tap kegerator yesterday to be ready for the Ocelot keg that just got shipped to me. :deadbanana:
Big fan of Jade from 18th Street but Foothills' is much better.Jade is made by Foothills out of North Carolina. They also make Hoppyum which is a solid IPA and currently in my kegerator.
Do we get that one here? Color me intrigued...Big fan of Jade from 18th Street but Foothills' is much better.
Nope. It's one I try to grab when I travel to Charlotte or Greenville.Coeur de Lion said:Do we get that one here? Color me intrigued...
Me too. Also Vallejo, Xtra Citra, Hop Skip, Jade, and Crushable.Hailstorm Cirrus

And it's delicious.
Where are you?I'm certainly no beer snob, more like an amateur, but I have discovered that wheat beers tend to be my favorite. What are some good wheat beers to be on the lookout for?
Indianapolis. I do have access to quite a few Midwest beers around here. My go-to mass produced wheat beer is usually Goose Island 312.Where are you?
OK. Fellow Indiana FBG here (NW). Look for 3 Floyds Gumballhead, Bell's Oberon, Revolution Sun Crusher, Half Acre Akari Shogun, and Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin'. The classic wheat beers will be German -- but hefeweizens are very different from American wheat ales. Weihenstephaner, Ayinger,?Hacker-Pschorr, etc are all outstanding.Indianapolis.

Xtra citra and mango guppy are going to be yard/poolwork staples.Me too. Also Vallejo, Xtra Citra, Hop Skip, Jade, and Crushable.
Light and hoppy / yard work kind of day.
Thanks for the recommendations! I've had and enjoyed Bell's Oberon. I guess I never realized it was a wheat beer. Told you I was an amateur!OK. Fellow Indiana FBG here (NW).

The only trades I have ever made were with Ilov80s and Wingnut on this site. Sebowski also hooked me up with OG Alpine hops. That was a long time ago and haven't felt the need to really trade much due to the local amount of awesome on the shelf in and around Chicago. That said, I wouldn't mind trading again though. I just don't want to have to chase beers all over the city (and if I do, it's for me.)My last two Funky Buddha Pineapple Beach's.
Does anyone on here do any beer trades, mainly shelf for shelf not looking at whales? For example I can get New Glarus while I would love to get my hands on more Funky Buddhas or Terrapin.
That's precisely why I stopped trading...theres enough great beer around that I don't feel the need to...for now...Im looking to buy a house next year so I'm on the shelf til then.The only trades I have ever made were with Ilov80s and Wingnut on this site.

Was less than impressed with that place and those guys when we were there.Wingnut said:Well, Cycle is at it again...a new bottle release every day next Mon-Fri. All collab BA stouts. I wont be getting any of these, the prices are too high for me unless Im trading them, but Im out of the trading game for a while. Doug is making boatloads of cash next week. From their FB page:
Release Details:
The last beer is in the tank! We are confident enough to move forward with releasing on Monday, 6/5 at 8AM. The releases will be M-F, 8 AM each day, limits are TBD as usual.
We are currently planning to close around 10 AM and reopen in the afternoon at our normal time, it is simply too hot to expect people to hang out all day but the bar staff can opt to stay open if there is demand. Apologies to anybody looking for that lunch break bottle pick up. We will post each day when we close (or if we opt not to) just as a reminder so you can check facebook for those times.
The beers will be as follows:
Monday is ??, a collaborative Imperial Stout with Barrel Aged Coffee brewed with The Answer Brewpub. This is our first barrel aged coffee bean, we aged Indonesian Sumatra coffee beans in an Angel's Envy barrel. We will also be selling the coffee beans by the 1/2 lb. $30/bottle
Tuesday is Friendly Heads Up, a collaborative Imperial Stout with Coconut and Cocoa Nibs brewed with Angry Chair Brewing. $25/bottle
Wednesday is Bonded In Sin, a collaborative Imperial Stout aged in Double Chocolate Bourbon Barrels brewed with 18th Street Brewery $25/bottle
Thursday is Home State, a collaborative Barleywine with honey brewed with Toppling Goliath Brewing Co. Our first Barleywine! $25/bottle
Friday is Big Adventure, a collaborative Imperial Stout aged in bourbon barrels and then moved from those barrels into cinnamon whiskey barrels with peppers, cocoa nibs and a little bit of vanilla. We brewed this with Ryan from Casita Our first truly double barrel aged beer! $30/bottle
As usual, cash only while there is a line, advertised prices are tax included with the cash discount. ATM's are plentiful in downtown St Pete. We will tap the beers at 5 PM each day with all of them on tap on Friday. There will be some shirts coming in at some point during the week, photos of those when they come in, they will be $20 as usual. Lots of as usual with this, except for the beers themselves. There will not be any surprises this week but we can't make an promises about the following week.
Final note, the city changed the parking meters on our block so they don't expire at 6 PM anymore, it is now 8 PM. Start time is still 9 as far as we know but just a heads up.
Absolutely loved this place. Totally worth a 5 hour round trip drive IMO.Wingnut said:At Civil Society having a draft of Fresh and picking up a couple crowlers...man this place is blowing up, so many great beers.
