The TMB Good Beer Thread

Met up with Corky Bucek yesterday at the Monkish IPA release. Super good guy. I was about 50 people behind him in line and did not get a wrist band. It was a pretty crazy scene. Showed up a little after 11 for the noon release and the line was insane. Ended up standing in line for probably two hours hoping that there would be extras but Corky worked his magic on some people around him and hooked me up.

We went to Smog City after. Really liked all three beers I sampled.

This is almost worth two hours standing in line. It was actually pretty cool. First time doing that and everyone around me in line was pretty cool.

 

At Calusa Brewing yesterday



Raspberry Berliner



Citronious - NE style IPA

 

Martin House (Fort Worth) Imperial Texan- Double Red Double IPA

It's soo good when you can get it fresh. I had horrible luck with the larger 16 oz cans but the batch I grabbed has been perfect.

Deep Ellum (Dallas) Neato Bandito Mexican Style Lager

I know a lot of people haven't enjoyed it in the past but I kinda like it.

Spoiler

 

It would have been disrespectful to not hit SN down the street. Btw - this SNPA tastes nothing like what I'm used to. It tastes like a beer being mashed in, in a good way.

 

Celemo guess who is going to a 3-way release party and gets to drink it before anyone else

 

We can no longer be internet friends. That was the best beer Ft. George has made.

 

After years of desire I finally had Alpine Nelson. Very good but I feel I built it up in my head a bit. Didn't blow me away. The white grapey-ness was evident from the NS hops.

 

I think the current, green flash brewed, version isn't too far off...but it's not the same as it was. And I promise I'm not trying to get all BA hot takey with it.

It was my favorite beer when I lived in SD...

 

I'll let you know next week when I go

 

100% true.

 

@ SARA.

 

Ooooooooooo, whatcha havin'?

 

hi folks. already drunk.

Eagle Rare bourbon accompanied by some Founders Centennial IPA (criminally underrated) that happens to not be 9-10 months old.

here's a picture of the groundhog that lives under my storage building:

 

First time trying this .394 ale. I'm a fan (cross-posted with the food thread)

 

Had Bell's Wild One and Raspberry Wild One tonight. And got a free Two Hearted glass.

 

Hillstead farms popped up in Nebraska. Not sure if we'll see more of it besides farmer wave. Rumor is that the guy who distributes all the best stuff colabbed it. Not sure though. Hope they're here to stay.

 

Deep Ellum's Dallas Blonde got me feeling some type of way

 

MY BAD.

I had the simpleton IPA (very simcoe dank), the conceptual admix (a really tasty blonde kinda thing), and the little quibble saison. All were excellent.

 

Didn't see any - though I was in and out pretty quick (that's what she said).

 

Will never not enjoy Lagunitas Sucks. Esp at $8/sixer

 

Here's the Monastic on the bottling line. It's sold domestically as American Monastic and exported to Sweden as Monastic.

 

In Asheville, have had lots of awesome beers the last two days. This place is awesome.

Also, really drunk.

 

Literally walked between 6 awesome breweries. Where is this shit anywhere else?

 

this is good.

 

I really enjoy that beer.

 

Also, "Cinderella" by Firefall is enjoyable.

 

Opal, velvet merkin, sucaba, krieky bones



ALL SO GOOD.

 

Of course you pick a beer they're out of!!

Just got some Union Jack / double jack. Jesus. So fucking fresh and delicious.

 

These go down a bit too easy on a hot summer day.

 

On Friday night I did a battle of 100% Mosaic Hop IPA's.

I declare Fulton 300 IPA to be the winner.

 

Muled back a few things from Chicago

 

Mikkeller bar SF was a lot better when it wasn't serving so many mikkeller beers.

Their service has always been shit, but now there's basically no reason to go.

 

Blind pig. Toronado. SF. Cash only. Fuck you!!!
