Believe me, I feel like spending the money to go to Tampa for the weekend would easily be the best way to spend the money
Haha my bad - I waited until 5 for it but had to head out. I'm anxiously awaiting being able to tear into it.
Galaxy hops. I've really gotten into the hops from down under. Big fan of nelson sauvin hops, and there are many more I haven't tried. Pacific jade is the next one i'm seeking out. Spoiler Usage: Dual Description: The Australian hop selection Galaxy is a high alpha dual purpose triploid cultivar with a pronounced and unique hop aroma. Bred by Hop Products Australia at their Rostrevor Breeding Garden Victoria. Galaxy, when added late in the boil, has been found to impart a unique and pleasant flavor to beer. The striking flavor has been described as a combination of citrus and passionfruit, it is currently being sold as a direct substitute for Citra (due to Citra being hard to come by these days). Torpedo Typical Beer Styles: American pale, amber, IPA Possible Substitutions: Citra, Topaz, Cascade, Riwaka, Rakau, Amarillo and the like. Typical Alpha Acid: 13.5 - 14.8% Country of Origin: Australia
she'd probably be down with that. I'd have to exclude the beer brah part of it though. She really thinks that I'm insane because I have e-friends. Fuckin bitch.
Mine used to think it was weird. But some of my e-friends have become IRL friends, so now she doesn't think much of it. She still makes fun of me for it though.
I'm going to have to trick her. Make her think my e-friends are IRL friends. Then I'll confess that they were originally e-friends to begin with. That'll fucking show her have another
Possibly, so if it's a really nice bottle you're getting, sit on it for a week and let everything settle. I'm not sure if it's as severe as wine bottle shock is, however.
had a shitty noble pils, hopslam (2), followed with backwoods bastard...should probably go to bed after that. i'm getting vulgar.
As I made it clear in this thread last Saturday, I got FUCKED up with my neighbor. Well we both discovered the unfortunate fact that we have similar sex lives with our wives. As you can imagine, we held nothing back. The girls were SO wet after that conversation, especially since they're both within a couple months of giving birth. It really put a nice cap to the night. I went home and PLOWED my wife and by "PLOWED" I mean continued to not have sex with her. Still was a fun night overall.
Just found out that Abyss will be in Dallas Wednesday or Thursday. Going to try like hell to at least get one bottle.
since day 1 I haven't been able to enjoy the stuff. I thought maybe now that I'm a beer cunt that I'd enjoy it. I was wrong.
Guys, is Cigar City a Brewpub yet, or still just a taproom? I heard rumors that they were opening a restaurant.
As I understand it the restaurant is going to be an off site thing. Totally separate from where the brewery/tasting room is
Good luck. It showed up at another beer store in Houston today and it was gone within 25 minutes of the owner tweeting about it.
Damn man. I wish I could get a set date on when it was releasing. I would freaking camp out Total Wine.
My brother in law works for a distributor in North Texas. He told me Total Wine and Specs were my best bets. I am going to hit up both and hopefully snag a few bottles.
Same here. There was absolutely no warning in Houston. With every other limited beer, there has at least been some notice about when it would go on sale. The guy who owns the store that got it today didn't even know that he was getting any until it showed up.
Like I said I got this info from my brother in law and he usually has it pegged when this stuff is coming in.
Just talked to my brother in law again. He said that they were expecting Abyss to last at least a few days on the shelves. Maybe I might get lucky. I am taking my dad with me in case there is a bottle limit. Of course he is going to want to keep at least one. He even said he might be able to grab some before it went on sale.
Get at least two for yourself, dude. Drink one, age one. I used to have an issue with aging because I was always so anxious to drink my beer, but after having a few tastings with aged and fresh versions, I made myself do it. It's not always going to help the beer, but more often then not.
Haha I've been there a million times now and don't know if they do mixed 6 packs. And I can definitely find Snake Handler if you want some
Well I have a friend that is going there for me tomorrow, so I figured I would ask as I can't ever remember when Snake Handler is available. Also do you know if they still have Founders Imperial Stout?
Spaulding said he was heading up there sometime tomorrow and we were gonna meet up, if that's still the case we may just have to have some beers with you
