What kind of beer is everyone drinking tonight? (2 Viewers)

Got a case of M43 and KBS. Anyone want to trade?

IMO M43 is the best NE IPA in the Midwest.

M43 intrigues me, but unfortunately I'm going to get back on the diet Monday (took a break for Vegas).

KBS is usually a fairly easy score for me, but if I get shut out I'd be interested in a few.

 
Orange Blossom Bee Hop is ridiculous -- better than Hopslam and Honey Badger, on par with (maybe even better than) the Pipeworks fish series and even Trillium's Cutting Tiles. Buy on sight, trade for it, etc -- just get it and drink it.

 
Holy Hunahpus Day...poured at the fest and drank a bunch of beers, met Hawks' bro in law who stopped by my tent and said hello, drank more beers, and came home and napped for 2 hours. I didn't try as many as I did last year, I stayed away from heavy beers and stuck with mostly sours and IPAs...

Working fests is so much fun. Perfect weather, lots of hot wimmens, and it's always fun hanging with brewers and beer dorks.

Do they distribute anywhere near the IL border?

 
Flying Monkeys Smashbomb Atomic IPA. Solid -- love the mixed six action at Pat's Liquors -- they let you buy singles of anything in the store.

Oh yeah, full blown $hitshow in full effect up in here LOL.

Did you meet my brother at the Ocelot booth?

I never made it over to their booth, I pretty much stayed in the general area of where I was pouring because we were right on the end of a tent and all the foot traffic had to walk right by us on their way to the other tents, so we stayed pretty busy non stop most of the afternoon...when I did get a break I was getting food or standing in line for the bathroom. There were a ton of beers I wanted to try but didnt get to this time, but it was still a blast and just a great event. CCB has the whole festival thing down pat now.

FYI Mikerphone is close to setting an opening date, and he's going to distribute less at least for a good while so he makes sure his taproom has plenty.

This weekend!  :excited:  Unfortunately I am pretty nailed down with volleyball games, a choir concert, and a family birthday party. :kicksrock:

Time to start planting seeds to get the wife thinking that she needs to go to Ikea...

I'm pretty sure I'm free, we have dinner reservations on Sat but nothing on Sunday! So maybe go twice!

 
In Paris for a week .  Im really missing my American microbrews.   Not a ton of beer choices at most restaurants.   They're not bad per se but my palette is so skewed towards IPA and Sours the lagers and whatnot just taste off to me now

You have access to the greatest sours in the world right now. Drink as much Cantillon as you can.

Not to mention general easy access to anything and everything else Belgian -- and for my money, Belgium still produces a ton of the absolute best beer in the world. True, not a lot of the Belgian stuff will be as hop-forward as much of what you get in the US, but you can find hugely complex and delicious ales all the same. Belgian abbey and Trappist beers are actually what started me down the craft / good beer path in the early / mid 90s, back when the only really great beer available in much of this country was found in the import aisle of the beer store.

In addition to Cantillon, look for 3 Fonteinen if sours are in your wheelhouse.

Let me guess -- Kronenbourg?  :X  Stick with wine if all you can get is crap like that. French beer, for the most part, blows based on my experience there. Belgian beer, on the other hand...

Yep.  That and 1664 and seems to be standard offerings

 
Got some M43 on the way. Can't wait to see it if it's all hype or something worth posting about.

Just drank a Treehouse Green on the way into MiamI International Airport...had a couple Alpine Duets that didn't compare to what they were 2 years ago....but they worked for the situation.
