More of a merger...sounds like a win-win situation for both breweries as well as beer drinkers.I'm still hoping to try some Alpine brews one of these days...my buddy in SD is turning out to be pretty unreliable.

 

[urbanhack]

Gonna have to tip one tonight for Finless.

This is great news. Where does the line for Nelson start?

 

[Sebowski]

Got back in town last night. Went to Toronado for lunch today. Had Darkness 2013, Darkness 2012,a new alpine DIPA over 10% and a 120. It's San Diego Beer Week. Nap time.

Please wait until Chicago gets their allocation. We appreciate your patience.

I hope they allocate the beers based on quality of the local NFL team.

I don't have any more likes today so that's all you get. For numerous reasons including your original intent.

NoDa Hop Drop. I'm down to my last 4 pack. :(

Heyoka x2

Just picked up PW Flavor Memory Response, planing on enjoying that tomorrow.

 

[ditka311]

What do you think of the Heyoka? I am a big fan of this stuff. Stopped at S Loop on way home from work since the Binnys out here was allocated one case and it was gone immediately. I think they have about 7 cases on the floor there at S Loop.

Also, I am seeing Backwoods ******* all over the place.

I really like it as well, better than Daisy Cutter to be honest. If you can find the 51st Ward East Clintwood give that a try, it's pretty good and it's out of Westmont. They actually were asking for helping bottling over the weekend of Halloween...you help bottle you get free beer.

There was a ton of Backwoods at my shop on Friday, when I stopped by today to get the Flavor Memory Response they still had a ton of it.

 

[Sebowski]

Too much to post. Annual disc golf tourney. Ipas, barrel aged stuff, casks, sours... great day.

I will keep my eye out for 51st Ward. Thanks for the heads up.

Going with a Lakefront Imperial Pumpkin.

So I ran into some Unsessionable tonight but it had a date of 11/3/14 on the bottom of the can. Think it's still good and would still be good in my fridge for a week or two?

 

[urbanhack]

11/3

Hell yes. You should always be good inside 30 days.

I'm amazed at how much hops I see on the shelf that's 3+ months old. Furious, founders, two hearted......really sucks.

 

[Nick Vermeil]

Ninkasi Triceratops Double ipa. There is a great little bar that just opened up a block from where I'm doing laundry these days. Ninkasi is new to me and I love it. They had a keg of the crystallization(?) last week. Best beer I've had in a while.

Cool, wasn't sure how fast it went and didn't want to risk a crappy sixer. I'll head back tomorrow to grab a six pack.

I personally only drink beers that are one week old or less.

Kidding.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

I had an interesting array of flavorful beers last night:

Ballast Point Sculpin IPA

Odell Dr. Acula black ale aged in oak barrels

Breakside Bourbon Barrel Aztec strong ale with cocoa nibs and chiles aged in bourbon barrels

Prairie Bomb! imperial stout aged on espresso beans, chocolate, vanilla beans, and ancho chile peppers

Stillwater Of Love and Regret saison with heather, chamomile, lavender, and dandelion

How'd the BBA Aztec compare to the bomb??

I really liked both the BBA Aztec and the Bomb!, but the Bomb! was my clear favorite. I thought the Bomb! was more complex with bolder flavors than the Aztec. I also think that I would probably prefer the base beer of the Bomb! over that of the Aztec. The BBA Aztec was really good as well, but I thought the chocolate flavors tended to dominate the beer and somewhat overwhelmed the bourbon barrel and chile character.

How hard are these to find right now?

Drool PW new DIPA

 

[Buckfast 1]

Last night, I had a bottle of Breakside IPA, which won the gold medal for American IPAs at the 2014 Great American Beer Festival. It was quite delicious with big tropical fruit, grapefruit, and pine flavors. I definitely recommend it.

 

[urbanhack]

Drool PW new DIPA

any word on the name??? I thought Unicorn Hits Rock Bottom was fantastic with the honey in it. I also loved Spiteful's Whale Tickler with the mango. I'm going to be all over this one.

 

[Sebowski]

As long as that is the canned date, not the "best by" date. Some breweries do best by dates. Hate those.

Nope, but once it hits I am getting 3 or 4 I think.

Think with Rev it's a best by date....since the other cans of Fistmas had Feb 4 2015 on them.

 

[Hawks64]

Just sipped my first Unsessionable. This is really good!

 

[Ilov80s]

Westbrook Mexican Cake and Prarie Bomb later tonight.

Eta: My friend ended up saving them for Sunday. Had Epic BBB again an Evil Twin Cafe Aun Mas Cafe Jesus. Just cracked a Sculpin now...Backwoods later.
