The TMB Good Beer Thread

wut

 

Fuck Hopslam.

 

So many brewery only releases that absolutely shit on that list

 

that's not what you said. you said that if a beer goes into distribution then it's not good.

 

bell's is incredibly overrated. it's not even a top 3 brewery in its state.

 

I was being hyperbolic but I feel sorry for anyone that really thinks stone, bell's and shit are great craft breweries

 

would agree

 

I think Stone is pretty solid though I do think Bells is overrated.

 

Recently had this for the first time, wouldn't put it on a top list of anything. Too strong, like drinking medicine

 

How old was it? 120 is not a beer you drink fresh.

 

Assuming fresh, a local spot did a Dogfish Head night and had it on tap. I know most "big" beers do better with age but is that still the case with something as hop forward as an IPA?

 

Normally IPA's and DIPA's don't age well but this is an entirely different animal. I have a few bottles I bought 5-6 years ago in my closet.

 

Where were you iyo

 

British Bulldog. It was week before last I think

 

I've never made it out there because of the distance

 

Solid list imo


























In 2012

 

Was going to say. Aged appropriately that beer is delicious.

 

was able to buy a ton of toppling goliath (and surly) in wisconsin. excited to break into it come fourth of july weekend.

 

You're hot

You're embarrassing

You're fart

 

TG seem like the biggest douche bags in craft beer

Also dry Hopped IPAS in a bomber?

KEK

 

it's just beer man, it either tastes good or it doesn't

 

I meant them chasing down customers for money when their employees rang up on site purchases wrong and being rude about it

 

i won't convict based on anecdotal evidence

 

Only email photo I saved but imo seems dickish imo

 

seems like the manager/assistant manager were trying to fix their fuck up before the brass found out

 

Charging $500 for a beer huh? That's what makes them dicks, not the trying to collect what is owed part.

 

They got mad about secondary market so they responded by selling their onsite shit for similar prices punishing the customers that actually hang out and spend at the brewery for the experience while the bottle flippers keep making money. I get it but it's not a smart idea

 

Yeah, all that does is increase secondary. The neckbeards will still buy and flip for profit.

 

Case and point from my BIL's brewery

 

IanC have you ever been to Bleachers "The Bar" in Mishawaka?

 

That is a good move to buy Minnesota beer in Wisconsin. I approve.

 

I have not. When I was in school and we had class in ST I didn't venture too far past Brothers or Rohrs. I know it's lame but convenient when you are up on a hotel down the street.

 

Rabid wishes so much that he was from Wisconsin. Only possible explanation for the obsession.

 

It is called a rivalry. The hate is real and it is just hate.

 

That's been me with 2 cases at Trillium in the past.

 

Sauv Blanc Dialed In>your favorite DIPA

 

A guy on a Husker board won the raffle last year for KBBS and said he'd be willing to sell his bottle. I sent him a PM asking how much and he said he wouldn't let it go for less than $1,000. I responded with a hearty LOL and left it at that.

 

Ended up with an extra bottle of Burial - BBA Seasoned Skillet Donut Stout, if anyone wants to trade let me know.

 

Will PM

 

When you're in town again check it out. Their beer list is usually incredible considering the venue (a billiards bar that still allows smoking). Some of these beers I've never found anywhere else in the area https://www.beermenus.com/places/11000-bleachers-the-bar

 

I know it's a shameless plug, but if anyone ITT is in the Philadelphia area and out in West Chester, I'd recommend visiting Levante. They make a ton of high quality stuff.

Jimmy the Saint can attest to their bourbon barrel aged imperial vanilla stout.

 

That's KJROD20 and I any/every time we go to Other Half.

 

Need 1 brewery to visit in San Diego. There are a lot and I have time for 1. Which 1 do I visit?
Ballast Point?
Stone?
Coronado?
Ale Smith?

Might be able to talk the misses into going to a second but she has her list of things to do and see and we have the kids. Brewery hopping is not too child friendly, although they do have iPads so there maybe a chance if Zach Zedalis texts her. She tends to listen to his magic beer advice.

 

Mikkeler, Modern Times, or Societe in my opinion. Never been to Ale Smith but wouldn't do any of the other 3. I like Stone but if you only have time for 1, I'd pick somewhere else.

 

In MN for a wedding. They have SFH here?!
