Kind of need more info

Beers I'm pretty sure you have access to that compare (yes, Yeti is great):

Ten Fidy

Old Rasputin

Stone Imperial Russian Stout (comes out every April)

Founders Imperial Stout

If you like coffee in your beer like the Expresso Yeti, Look for Founders Breakfast Stout.

That's off the top of my head. Look for local breweries. You probably have some great stout around I've never heard of.

thanks sebowski.

I have not been able to find the founders which is 1 I was going to try. I will look for the others you mentioned above as well. it stinks paying $8-10 a bottle and not liking it, hence asking for the knowledge here.

[Steve Tasker]

Are they bottling Green Line now? Very underrated beer IMO.

 

[Who Dat Ninja?]

Are they bottling Green Line now? Very underrated beer IMO.

The Goose Island Green Line? I don't think so, I think it's supposed to be "environmentally sustainable" so they just sell it in kegs.

All on tap.

[Wingnut]

Holy hell...just tried their Coconut Vanilla Nitro stout...wow, this makes NoDas CocoLoco taste bland...huge coconut and vanilla flavors...

Then I tried the Hot Schtuff RIS (w/brown sugar, cinnamon and ghost peppers)...WOW. Sweet up front with a spicy kick wayyyy on the back end. Fantastic stuff.

So AB is interested in buying out Cigar City...the rumor here is Joe Render is considering it...I don't believe it for a second. Render won't sell out IMO. He's been talking about leaving FL but there's no way he sells out to AB. No way. If he does, it would be a sad sad day for craft beer.

I can't believe he would turn it down. Obviously AB will ruin the name like they did with Goose Island. Hard not to turn that kind of money down, just open another brewery in 3-5 years, based on the agreement. It would be a sad day for CC fans.

Drinking Saugatuck Neapolitan Stout.

 

[Wingnut]

So I either just had a stroke of genius or a brain fart of epic proportions...

A food truck, but instead of food, you serve craft beer. A craft beer truck. Beer on the move. You show up an events and serve beer...maybe you pair with a local food truck and double team it - eat their food with our beer...and you figure out pairings before you go in...

The rest tape involved might make it a PITA..but I'm onto something here.

 

[Wingnut]

So hanging out at Three Palms...started talking to a guy and wife who are on their way back to Palm Gardens...the subject of Gose comes up and we talk shop...he goes to his truck and hands myself and the bartender here a can of Westbrook Gose....

Whaaaaat?

He's all "hey, its all about sharing"..

But if he sells, the recipes of all the flagship beers go with it...no way they hand over the keys to Jai Alai.This won't happen.

Sure he will lose the recipes, that doesn't stop him with creating new ones though. Tastes evolve over time also. If they come up with an offer he can't refuse, he probably selling unless he is thinking of expanding outside of the Florida market.

Is the Goose Island name really ruined? AB hasn't touched the good beers they make at GI as far as I know. I'm pretty happy buying 750s of Matilda and Sophie at Costco for $5, although i don't know whether AB has anything to do with that.

AB is distributing it, they want to make numbers. I personally think you lose something when its mass-produced. There are too many options in the great lakes area. Founders may find this out if they go national, now that they sold a 30% interest.

We were discussing Rapp vs Westbrook...when out of nowhere he says I'll be right back...and comes back with cans of Westbrook in hand...I of course bought his next beer. So now I have a Westy Gose in my fridge...so stoked!

 

[Wingnut]

This Three Palms Galaxy Rye IPA is friggin awesome. A dank bomb. I'd put this on par with 7venth Suns Time Bomb, and maybe a tick higher. Its that good...the only Tampa Bay IPA I'd put above it is Crank.
