I'm just joking obviously, I don't really follow the trends of any hops. Also, how do you strike through? I tried like 10 different things. This is why we need a test forum.

On it. I play soccer from 2-4 on Mondays though, so see you at 345?
Btw, Pizza Port almost closed on Tuesday when you didn't show up this week.

Completely disagree. I love that beer. I wish more breweries worked with tea. Enough of this one dimensional coffee bull####. There is a lot that can be done with tea. My Yerba Mate homebrew was ####.
How was this? I wasn't too fond of their regular double IPA, Hopothermia. It was "meh" at best.
Also, what did you think of the Nelson vs Sorachi?

A local bar has a cask of the variation called Charred Tsar that includes actual pieces of the burnt brewer. Supposed to be tapped tonight.I'm just joking obviously, I don't really follow the trends of any hops. Also, how do you strike through? I tried like 10 different things.

Got some catching up to do...
Was in San Diego Wednesday night and Sebowski and his girl met up with me at Pizza Port to watch the Heels game before my redeye home. Some highlights:
- Mission/Alpine Don't Act Like You're Not Impressed IPA
- Pizza Port T-Rex IPA (nice mango flavor)
- Pizza Port Kung Fu Elvis (they called this a strong pale ale
- Hop Concept Dank and Sticky (smelled so good. Tasty but the nose was amazing)
Got home from work Thursday night and had a box of beer from Wingnut. Opened a Crowler of Crank IPA last night and put it down in like 15min. It's 6% and the easiest drinking IPA I've ever had. Not much of a nose and doesn't have much of a dank hop flavor or smell, but holy citrus. Not bitter, comes off juicy and clean. Really good beer. Could and would drink a lot of this. More Wingnut beers to follow...

We went to the retail store as part of last year's TBS get-together, and IIRC one of their guys (maybe not a brewer but an employee?) came by for a bit of the party that weekend. The retail store was a cool little wooden shack on the side of the road in like farm country. They only had 2 beers on, Green and Eureka, IIRC, but both were fantastic. I came home with a few growlers. Highly recommend if you're in the area.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.

To the bold I say you crazy...I crack a growler or crowler and the smell smacks me in the face as I pour...to me it smells as juicy as it tastes (and looks). Glad you liked it, it IS insanely crushable. Its Cycles highest ABV core IPA, most of the others are session strength between 4-6%.The Three Palms Rye IPA was a last minute addition, I happened to be passing by and figured why not...they're not a great brewery yet, they're super small, but theyre getting better.
Curious to see what you think of Rapp's Gose...its pretty true to style/traditional.
Also...about that home brew...I had 3 duds out of 20 beers that didn't carb...I'm hoping the one I sent is a good one...if it is, pour is slow on the tilt or you'll have a glass of foam...and keep in mind it was my first beer from my own recipe (non kit), so its not gonna blow you away...I just thought it'd be a cool extra to throw in.
The plan for today is to go local:
Hailstorm Prairie Madness IPA (mosaic hopped - they rotate the hops every release)
Hailstorm Vlad the Conquistador (a play off of their Vlad the Impaler RIS that includes cacao, cinnamon, agave, vanilla, and ancho/chipotle/guajillo peppers)

Nah. I didn't have enough time to drop the car off and get back and didn't want to push it. Drove by it. Doing a work free weekend in San Diego this year for sure!
I wasn't impressed with the one I had in the bottle. You also don't know which version it is (as far as I know) since the mosaic was just released on tap recently. The bottles seem to lag behind the tap for understandable reasons. If it's the last release, citra, then maybe it's better. Pretty sure the bomber I had was galaxy and was relatively weak when on tap it was much better. I just grabbed a growler of the mosaic. About to open it with Crimson Snapper on deck.

You can keep the gose but the rest looks great. Kind of intrigued by that jade ipa.
And nugget nectar and the NoDa stuff of course.
Nice haul.

The Jade is great...tried some on tap when I was in Charlotte. Bought half a growler (it kicked while filling). Really happy to be able to try it again.And the Gose is da goods!!! You probably wouldn't like the WWs much.

Hop Drop and Gose are my two favorite beers in that box. But that Lusus Naturae from WW is awesome. Double Brett ipa

Cigar City Strawberry Shortcake Lager courtesy of Wingnut. It smelled awesome, just like strawberry shortcake. Pretty good beer. Only need one glass though. Kept thinking how I wished it was sour so had about a half glass left and mixed it with Westbrook Gose. Delicious.

I thought it was pretty average...but the aroma is fantastic. I didn't try it til after it was boxed up...glad you liked it, and mixing with gose was a great idea...wish I had thought of that!

Having a NoDa Hop Cakes from palmer. Good stuff, very smooth and for a 10.2% ABV the alcohol is well hidden. Extremely balanced, its sweet but the hops are right there with it up front. Piney, resiny, great hoppy flavor. Not getting much maple in the nose or taste, but will see as it warms up a bit. Very easy drinking DIPA that's not over malty like a lot of 10+% ABV beers. Another great beer from NoDa.

I really liked that beer when I had it a few months ago. Solid.

Me too! It's quite excellent.

Not really impressed. If it was the 2009, then I would have commented. Just kidding. Never had any Darkness.
Did you try it when it was released? and if so, what do you think of it now compared to then?
