Wife brought me some oskar blues death by coconut Irish Porter last night. Not bad. Had more coconut than noda coco loco but was missing a bit of the coco loco bite.

I split a 750 of the Gin Barrel-Aged O-Gii with a friend from the brewery Saturday - fresh off its gold medal at the Festival of Wood and Barrel-Aged beers last month. One of the best, most interesting beers of the year for me.

Alesmith Speedway Stout with Vietnamese Coffee
Alpine Pure Hoppiness imperial IPA
Pipeworks Ninja vs. Unicorn imperial IPA
The Pipeworks NvU was really good, but I thought that Alpine's Pure Hoppiness was significantly better. The Alesmith Vietnamese Coffee was really fantastic as well.

Yeah, it had always eluded me as well. I just happened to see that a brewpub out in 'burbs tapped it last night, so I drove out there at halftime of the MNF game to get a pour.

I just went to Cellarmaker Brewing in San Francisco. They make a lot of great IPAs with various combinations of some of my favorite hops -- Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy, and Nelson Sauvin. It would definitely be one of my local hangouts if I lived in San Francisco.

Those guys are fantastic. Love everything they do. Been up there twice, and they've sent some beer down here a few times as well.
When are you coming to San Diego?

A collaboration between 4 Hands, Stone and Bale Breaker called Sorry Not Sorry IPA, a dips with peaches. The peaches were subtle, this is definitely worth checking out.
It reminded me that I had Bale Breakers Top Cutter IPA when I was in Oregon a few months ago and thought it was the best beer I enjoyed the entire trip. Would definitely like to check out more of their offerings.

New Holland has a few that I tried recently that I thought were excellent. They are the Dragon's Milk Reserve With Coffee & Chocolate and Dragon's Milk Reserve With Raspberries.

I had a great evening of drinking in San Francisco last night at City Beer Store, Mikkeler Bar, and Toronado:
Cantillon Fou' Foune lambic with apricots (incredible beer - I was stoked to see a bottle behind the bar at City Beer Store and to meet a few people willing to go in together for the $80 bottle to share)
Fieldwork Good Conduct imperial brown ale with maple aged in bourbon barrels
Altamont Maui Wowie IPA
BFM Square root 225 saison aged in oak barrels
Mikkeler Spontangreenapple spontaneous wild ale with green apple
Alpine Pure Hoppiness imperial IPA
Russian River Pliny the Elder imperial IPA
Alpine Duet IPA
I'm planning on trying to head over to Berkeley now to go check out the Rare Barrel and Fieldwork.

Started off tonight with Shred the Gnar -- hadn't tried it before. "Imperial Rye IPA brewed with Lemongrass and Tart Michigan Cherries." Very malt-forward for an IPA, not at all what I was expecting -- still damn good though. Spicy rye really comes through, and very subtle sour cherry (a good thing as IMO most cherry beers suck d/t overpowering cherry) and citrus. Not really an IPA IMO, but really good and possibly the most drinkable 9% beer I've ever had. Will absolutely buy again.

Nothing fancy...just a little Fat Tire while in working out in the garage. What would I do without beer?

I just pictured you benching 300 pounds and then chugging that Fat Tire like a maniac.

Ah. You're watching the punchers dance around, and I'm watching fights?

Interesting. Just checking it out, seems like they specialize in Belgian beers. Any idea what kind of BA stuff they are making?

Glad you got to try the OG stuff. And also glad the new stuff is getting better and better. Sometimes even spot on.Definitely one, if not, the best collection of IPAs out there.
Hawks64
Footballguy
Yeah but they have some really nice IPAs which is very...odd. They make all sorts of crazy ### BA and this is a total surprise what your getting outside of their annual seventh seal release. Not a bad deal 175 for 9 BA bombers...like getting 2 bottles free, plus a tulip glass and some other member exclusive member events. Willing to see if it's worth it.

So the beer is good? Great? I'm just wondering because I have family in the area and if the beer is worth it, I would consider paying for it.
Ilov80s

Yeah, OG stuff was amazing. New stuff has been great. I didn't have enough of the OG stuff to make a legit comparison. I just know I like it a lot.Glad you got to try the OG stuff.

TBH only going on reputation of from a few guys I know that have it. Got the membership today and then their Snaggletooth Bandana, which is an IPA that is very good, but have not had their BA beer. To me it was worth the gamble and if their BA is as good as this Snaggletooth happy I joined.. According to Twitter they were down to 45 memberships left an hour ago.
