Beer Snobs Unite! 100+ IBU or GTFO

PI:

I haven't seen Wacko on the shelves yet here. I live down the street from the brewery so maybe I'll go and ask them on Monday.

The Pollinator tastes hoppier to me than it has in past years, I'm not complaining though.

Are you talking about the 90 minute? Because that might be the best IPA I've ever had. The 120 Minute is more like 18-20% ABV, so I don't think you're talking about that one, but I can only imagine your reaction to it if the 90 minute was too much.

No, its mot the 90 minute, or the 120. This was burton's baton.

the 90 and 120 are hopped so aggressively you cant taste the booze, but with this one, the hops are so sedate it tastes like a session beer with a shot of vodka in it.

Besides, it can't be much worse than ethanol metabolites..

Actually, the issue is that it tastes bad. This is the compound responsible for the "skunked" flavor of skunked beer.

Ah. Then something is profoundly wrong with Corona. I think that Mexico is sending us the shit beer that they refuse to drink.

Hm, never even heard of it! I'll have to look out for it at my beer spot next time I'm in. In the past I've had a beer that was aged in Jack Daniels barrels and the alcohol aftertaste was definitely overpowering (and I'm a whiskey fan!) so I get where you're coming from. I forget the name of it but even the smell was like sniffing a bottle of Jack.

then they have to mark it wheat beer
I am a fuckin word snob and I should have turned the bottle to show the cool label in dat ass shot


When is Magic Hat's Wacko coming out? My dude was vague. I usually can get it at the grocery store anyway.
Long Trail Pollinator is coming to my local shop next week

I went down there today and they told me Wacko is done. They are replacing it with another beer called Elder Betty, which I sampled and didn't think a whole lot of. Imagine my surprise when I found out the old man brought home a six of it. He and I have pretty different tastes.

Magic Hat is putting out a new honey wheat IPA but unfortunately it's a draught-only and not going out of state.
 
sipping on some 21st amendment, brew free or die rn. hits the spot as the first beer on a friday night.
 
I think i have a new favorite beer. I went to a pub that's in the university the other day and just had to try yellowbelly ale as i have heard good things about it as well as their stout. It's brewed onsite at a pub of the same name as the beer but the pub apparently sells the ale to the uni pub as well. Sadly the only way to get this beer is to go to either of the 2 pubs in the whole wide world that carries it. So buying a 24 pack is not a option with this stuff :(

If i can get down to the yellowbelly pub i will try out their stout to brag about it's awesomeness.
 
this was a 5 month process, but we now have homebrew. cherry (wood) smoked porter. took longer than expected, but it turned out wonderful. in my humble opinion.

Well it's a porter, so I would hope so. ;)

I'm slowly getting into them. Posted about this in the Lounge thread, but this beer is one of the best I've ever had the pleasure of tasting:

ended up trying the ESB thank for that tip thujone it was nice. They also had theakston old peculiar which I had to revist: it was still good. Right now onto la trappe quad very dark and fruity- recommed. Ive been having a look at the Beer Advocate website it does seem to be full of wank but it has made me decide to try some St Bernardus when I next get the chance, I shall report back. Have any of you Californians or folks close by tried the Russian River brews? Im interested in trying their two Pliny's for the mere fact they are rated at the top of the Beer Advocate top beers list. Should I believe the Hype?
 
Any Cider Folks out their ?

I love cider it is the local alcoholic drink where i live .
We have plenty of Orchards.
I know that Cider is also popular in France but have no idea what people in the States and other places think of this authentic Drink.
