@Ilov80s you try Shorts Slurm yet?  It's no M-43 but still pretty tasty

[Fantasy_Freak 174]

Beat the #### out of anything else I had. Just awesome. 

Ended up with French Vanilla Militia. 

Win. 

Oh, the Pipeworks and Floyds collaboration Zombie vs Unicorn was great. Wish they had Stay Lit, their hazebro collaboration with Forbidden Root but they didn't.  As far as I know anyway.

I got a couple 6 packs Wednesday and sounded like they got more in Friday.  Don't think it's a hot item but not sure it'll sit around too long either

It was a little late for that but good idea for the future!

Firestone Walker PIVO - the next morning.

Pleasantly surprised I don't feel bad at all. I will order this beer often if i see it on tap.

I tend to switch what I'm drinking after one beer. Mix it up. Maybe get 2 a row of something. Haven't bought a six pack and then drink in straight through in maybe 10 years until I put down a Pivo six pack a couple weeks ago. I love a good pilsner and pivo kicks ###. It took a couple hundred years, but America can finally make good pilsners. 

[Coeur de Lion 4,904]

Victory Prima is another outstanding American pils if you guys are looking for one. And I agree -- good pilsners are perfect summer beers.

Oberon here today, another great refreshing lawnmower beer.

Just cracked one open. It absolutely is a NE IPA (I have had several Michigan beers tat advertised as NE and were just dank, but no haze). This look, smells and feels right. It's just lacking in punch. It's very mild and needs either more sweetness like M43 or more hop punch like Boxer.

Shorts Freedom of '78.

[Coeur de Lion 4,904]

Didn't crack the Biere de Mars yesterday, just dove in a few minutes ago. Damn. Well done Jolly Pumpkin. Somehow I hadn't tried this one before -- back to Whole Foods tomorrow to load up. Just outstanding -- tart without being a lacto-bomb, funky, dry, and complex AF. Blind tasting this, I'd bet an awful lot of $ that it was from a several hundred year old Belgian brewery. Really effing good.

Yeah all they do is sours so it seems they've perfected the art.  Probably gonna hit one of their brewpubs up Wednesday night

I've come to expect excellence from them, somehow I missed this one despite it being pretty easily available. Wish I had tried it years ago, it just really hits the mark for my palate (I can't handle tons of lactic acid in a sour). Damn near perfect for me -- and I'm coming recently off of some big guns from Hill Farmstead, so for this to make me sit up the way it did is really impressive.

[FairWarning 85]

Their stuff must be great, they have Wet Hop Bam on tap at Atomic Liqours in Las Vegas.

I found it at Meijer, its been out for a bit.  Strack &Van Till off of 49 may have it also. 

 

I see Stracks is getting sold to Kroger and they will be Mariano's.

[ConstruxBoy 252]

Got some Trillium from a buddy. Obviously fantastic beer for the NE IPA style. I'm just not sure I love that style as much as other people do.

It should have. It's been around over a month now.

[Ilov80s 20,135]

Old Nation Boss Tweed. First release of a NE DIPA. Fantastic.

Maybe I've just missed it (entirely possible, I've been hitting up breweries directly more than trolling the bottle shops lately) -- I'll look again this week.

I'm the opposite when it comes to NEIPA's.  It's the only style of beer I want to drink.  And it's super easy here in NYC to make it happen.

I'm the same. They are so one dimensional. And a lot of them just taste too much like yeast.

I am seeing more and more of this, and I don't get it. People walk in to where I work and say "do you have anything hazy" and if I don't and say as much, they just walk out. So weird.

I'm the buyer for a beer bar here in NYC.  I usually dedicated 6/30 taps to IPA's, and if at least four of those aren't NEIPA's, my customers will get pissed.

[ditka311 616]

In Dallas for work so stopped at Rodeo Goat. 

Had a couple Alpine Not Nelson and a couple Community Mosaic. Both delicious as hell.

I don't get that either. I personally love well done NE IPAs -- but also West Coast IPAs, and saisons, and pilsners, and APAs, and a slew of other crystal clear styles. Judging a beer solely based on "is it hazy?" is silly. The haziness is actually the least important factor IMO.

[Coeur de Lion 4,904]

Made a run over lunch: Unfiltered Sculpin, 18th Street Skreech, and Cooked Stave Petite Rose, Colorado Wild Sage, and Surette. So effing happy that Crooked Stave finally landed in Indiana.

[Hawks64 2,212]

Doing a Tampa brewery "tour" with the wife tomorrow...Angry Chair Brewing, then Cigar City, the Cycle, then Arkane, then Rapp, and then Tampa Brewing Company for dinner, then Coppertail. Followed up with a cornhole with @Wingnut on Saturday at Civil Society. Going to be a great start to my work trip!!

[ditka311 616]

At DFW with a Deep Ellum ipa. Found Community on tap but I didn't feel like hanging out at Wolfgang Pucks. 

I do recommend that beer though. Mmmmmosaic goodness. 

[Ilov80s 20,135]

My sister sent me a crowler of Weldworks Juicy Bits. I feel like maybe it's lost a little bit, but it's a really tasty ipa.

Picked up some 18th Street Jade and a barrel aged raspberry Vlad from Hailstorm.

Closed two big deals at work today, Pens kicking ###, drinking the first round of Crooked Stave to hit Indiana. Life is good.
