You likely won't. It's gone in Michigan. Bells is even out.Still haven't seen Hopslam around here.

I don't mind when it is truly outstanding beer. At a family gathering recently my niece told her mom, my sis, that the Nocturnum I was drinking cost over $10 bottle. My sis was honestly upset about this, in her mind imagining me drinking 6 or more a night. Her alky ex husband and her alky daughters drink like fish, cases of beer, bottles of booze, killing themselves. We probably spend the same or I spend less, so some perspective is needed. Last night I had a $12 bottle of Indian Wells Whiskey Barrell Brew. It sucked and that's the only time price bothers me. I couldn't finish it. It made me want a Coors.Wingnut said:

I agree with the bold...but when you find yourself buying beers just because they're limited or you don't get to the brewery as often as you'd like, and you already have more than enough on hand...it adds up...I'm in the fortunate position to be able to buy whatever I want, but I should be putting more money away rather than spending hundreds every month on beer...but its all outstanding, so there's that.

When this came out my son asked my wife to run out and grab a sixer at the store by my house. They got 20 cases in, limiting purchases to one sixer per customer. $20 a pop. My son drank one and brought the rest back to me. I am into #3 tonight playing some poker online. This is some wicked stuff.Ilov80s said:You likely won't. It's gone in Michigan.

Be careful, it's pretty potent. That's basically a whole bottle of wine at this point.When this came out my son asked my wife to run out and grab a sixer at the store by my house.

Yeah, not going anywhere. Buzz kicked in at the end of second one. Unless you were reminding me to be careful with my bovada account balance.Be careful, it's pretty potent.

I find myself in this boat way too often but I can't stop....I just can't miss out on a limited run that's excellent.Guilty.I agree with the bold...but when you find yourself buying beers just because they're limited or you don't get to the brewery as often as you'd like, and you already have more than enough on hand...it adds up...I'm in the fortunate position to be able to buy whatever I want, but I should be putting more money away rather than spending hundreds every month on beer...but its all outstanding, so there's that.

Rogue choc stout
Founders breakfast stout
Yeti espresso
I can't find anything I like better than yeti espresso...
Does this make me a redneck? Does this segregate me from the group?

Have you had their Barrel Roll Series beers? Hammerhead and Pugachev's Cobra are both top notch.Hangar 24 = good stuff. Love the Betty, love the Orange Wheat. Now if they could only get the alcohol content of Betty in with the taste of the Wheat.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Holy ####....I'm drinking the best Porter I've ever had - Funky Buddha's Last Snow Coconut Coffee Porter. Wow. Heard it was being released today and snagged 5 bombers between a few stores.
Insanely good. Tons of coffee and chocolate, with a brilliant coconut finish. I was gonna trade a couple, but I'm not so sure now...it tastes like coffee with a Mounds candy bar melted into it.
This is not only the best Porter I've ever had...its probably a top 20 beer for me regardless of style (and I'm not a big fan of porters). Just delicious.

This has become quite the esoteric thread the last several pages. Not much mainstream stuff discussed anymore.
Think I'm gonna go with Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA tonight. Tastes great, is usually available for $14.99 or $15.99 for 12 and with that you get a 7.2% ABV. Awesome bang for the buck.

Most stores got 6-12 bottles total earlier in the week but not allowed to sell til today. I got lucky - the first store had a 1 bottle limit, but I talked the guy into selling me 2, (separate transactions)...then went to another store 20 minutes down the road, and took 2 to the counter, no problem. Took them outside and went back in for another. Could have (and maybe should have) bought the other 6 or 7 bottles they had. Guess the woman who rang me up wasn't aware of the limit. SCORE.

Treehouse brewing is close to getting their canning line up and running...this is fantastic news. From their December blog on what's coming in 2015 due to their recent expansion;
We will have a lot more beer. New equipment purchases will allow us to make at least ten times as much beer in 2015 as we did in 2014. We have a 30 bbl brewhouse landing within a few weeks and a mixture of 30 & 60 BBL tanks are already in place. How many barrels? Honestly, I dont know. but, a lot more.
Which beers will we can? To start Julius. We will be making a LOT of Julius in 2015 and beyond. To put how much into perspective, we expect to make as much Julius in three weeks - once we get rolling - as weve made in the entire three years Tree House has existed. Also making appearances, with near certainty, will be each Eureka variant (including a new Mosaic version), Green, Haze, and Thats What She Said. They will all be available in 16 oz. four packs at the retail shop.
Julius is consistently in the top 3 IPAs on BA and is currently #1...I hope it doesn't change in the can.

Key words: a few years ago.I am currently drinking a Bukharin Russian Imperial Stout. Only one barrel produced. The recipe was burnt and the brewer was executed to make sure nobody else ever gets a chance to try it.
