What kind of beer is everyone drinking tonight? (4 Viewers)

[Sebowski]

2010 Schlafly Bourbon Barrel Aged Inperial Stout.

Damn good. Not over aged, which I feared.

Wait...am I reading this correctly? It doesn't say Nelson....

I'm out

 

[Ilov80s]

Shorts Bonafide Legit, pure Summit hops.

Grapefruit Sculpin

Can you still find this? It sounds great as I like regular Sculpin.

It is a regular release now. They just built a brand new huge facility that is basically just a sculpin factory. And grapefruit is way better than regular. It is awesome.

Ballast Point now has 4 breweries in San Diego.

Is it available everywhere regular Sculpin is?

Here in town it is. I imagine when they get the new place at full speed it will hit the out of state markets in a flurry. New place hasn't been open a month yet.

All the sculpin talk led me to go get a bottle while out. Almost went with Sierra Nevada torpedo instead though. $8.99 vs $2.99.

Hmmm..that beer is retired...I wonder how similar it is to Zoe, which I have a bottle of an will probably be drinking tomorrow.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Pete Metzelaars

This was the backup option...he was the guest that day but I didn't get his autograph.

I'll give it 24 more hours....1 more guess from whoever wants in. If no one else gets it, Christo gets the beer. I can probably scrounge up some Steel Reserves and Tecate tallboys for you.

They still list it on their website.

Other option was Peeper.

Anyway....Surly Overrated

I hadn't heard of Wheelbarrow so I checked it out on BA and it says no longer brewed. Weird.No beer for me tonight, I gotta head to work in a bit.

Only other Maine that I've seen were Peeper and Another One. I liked Another One a lot and will try Peeper next. But will also get more RW.

Ive like all Ive tried so far but theyre expensive for what they are.

 

[Steve Tasker]

TBH, Red Wheelbarrow has been my least favorite Maine beer.

It's not Mark Kelso or Chris Mohr.

Ok, now you're just piling on...

 

[Sebowski]

James Lofton.

 

[ditka311]

Probably not the best idea but Permanent Funeral

It's so good. Thanks again for that beer.

Anytime. let me know if you ever need anything local and I will try to hook you up.

Picked up a Cimmerian Sabertooth Berserker today

 

[HellToupee]

Alex the correct answer is who is Shane Conlan

 

[Steve Tasker]

James Lofton.

We have a winner.

I guess I'm sending you back your 3-bottle shipper?

 

[Wingnut]

Guess its time to drink some Freak of Nature DIPA.

I'm OK with this...it means Sebowski will have a shipper in case he feels like sending some beer to another FBG.

I only had a flight sample of this when I was at Wicked Weed last weekend...I forgot how good it was. For a DIPA its not overly sweet, has great hoppiness, and is really smooth. At 8% ABV its not a huge DIPA, but man...I'll probably crush most of this growler tonight. Excellent beer and not a hint of the 8% alcohol.Eta: I swear I actually detect weed in the aroma...this must have some Mosaic hops with the dankness I'm detecting.

 

[3C's]

Not like I needed an excuse but I'll take it.

It's clear you have a thing for cocks.

 

[Wingnut]

For beer day I'm trying to decide on what to drink next (I have never tried any of these):

Lagunitas Sucks (8%)

Maine Beer Co Zoe Amber (7.2%)

Coast Brewing HopArt IPA (7.7%)

Thoughts?

 

[3C's]

Lagunitas is solid. Haven't had the other 2.

Sucks is great.

Zoe is good but not great.

Never had the other one.

Blocks, Christo. The noun there is blocks.

Sucks it is (after I finish this pint of Freak)

Love sucks, yeah yeah.

Yeah, Sucks doesn't suck. Big fan.

 

[Wingnut]

I think I started too early...oof.

 

[3C's]

I think I started too early...oof.

I'm still working on a problem for tomorrow. Four or so beers in. Time to wrap up and watch some football!

 

[Wingnut]

Back on the Freak. I'm all in tonight.

Will probably regret it tomorrow.

 

[Wingnut]

Killed the 64oz growler of Freak, a 32oz Sucks, a Hop Drop, a Maine MO, a NoDa Jam Session, and finishing the night with a Westbrook Gose. Thank God I can sleep in til noon tomorrow.

The secret is to drink lower ABV beers as you go. Its a solid and proven technique, and the way I'll be doing it from now on.



Gotta go to Alabama Wed night til Thu afternoon for work, there's a Piggly Wiggly that supposedly carries Westbrook Gose...hoping to pick up at least 2 sixers while I'm there.
