Still recovering from a brew fest yesterday in Eugene, tried so many great brews. The wave of Belgium style brews is about to crash upon the US.
so yesterday I go to Eugene to buy shit to finish outfitting the house while in the town I live fsck~ is at a bottle release I didn't know about and you're in the town I'm in all day at a brew fest I didn't know about need to get on this Oregon beer newsletter or pigeon system or something
one of the best ipas i've ever tasted, also, two days old and just cause, had tons and tons of leftover prime rib and a bushy basil plant
I'm a Rangers fan and I pulled through (....barely, and despite crying like a baby in Madison Square Garden) so you can do it, marcus!
Want. ¡Listen up Compadres! Brandy Barrel Aged El Mariachi has officially been bottled. We will be releasing this 'Jefe' of a brew Sunday, June 28th. There will be a 2 bottle limit per person & we expect them to go quick. ¡Vaya con Dios!
Honestly, contemplating it. Need to see my grandma more often, and maybe that weekend is a perfect time.
is anyone secretly hiding their ambassadors of sour membership for rb? I want all the home, sour home!
I know a couple of guys that have a membership. I could probably get them to order an extra one or two. You would have to paypal pretty quickly though. I think they were both ordering today.
I was able to land a couple. If their allocations are like this moving forward I will def. be splitting a membership w/ them.
Home from prepping for tomorrow's brew.. Now enjoying some homebrew and going over wedding invitations. Yes I'm getting married, sorry ladies.
for me it's Germany. Nothing flashy, just a solid body of work. When I'm there I don't even care about brand, I just order by type ("dunkel", "pils", etc) and always love it (except for the time a coworker encouraged me to get a fucking radler, fuck that)
Currently American craft is brewing the best most original and innovative beers and it's really not close. Those others created the basis for most of American brews but Americans are doing it the best right now
I tried having this argument with my roommate and he wasn't having it. He believes Germany still crushes us in beer.
Those other countries have legacy but nobody is innovating like the US is right now. I've got an expat friend living in London that is engaged to a South African. They were telling me their local pub has a "US Beer Fest" weekend every year and it is by far the most popular weekend all year. I think they said they do it on the 4th of July weekend. Every tap is a US Craft brew and they get some stuff that is hard to find like New Glarus (Wisconsin beer that doesn't even cross the border into MN), etc. It was awesome to hear that the Europeans seem to understand what is happening here--or at least the ones that have traveled to the US.
It's between US and Belgium for me. The US is definitely the most innovative but its hard to top a good lambic for me. Never cared for German beers outside of berliners.
