Got lit af at Wren House and then made a regrettable trip to Pattie's in Scottsdale. Tomorrow is going to suck. Jimmy the Saint
Spindletap fucking sucks btw. Spoiler just kidding I just feel left out because I can't get it in Chicago
They have not had any new good beers drop in DFW for like 2 months and quite frankly I am pissed the fuck off about it!
Seattle is treating me well. Had a Seapines Hurricane Gun IPA at a pizza shop past night. Then stopped by Sovereign Brewing and had another really good IPA and picked up a bottle for today. That bottle is a spontaneously fermented Kriek inspired ale on Montmorency & Balaton cherries. Nice peppery finish. Really well done.
…also have my first Other Half at home box coming next week in time for the 4th. DDH Vapor Ringz DDH Double Mosaic Dream DDH All Citra Everythinf More Laced in Space
Blonde Ale with Tang in it. I’ll admit, got this more out of curiosity and the fact the name and can are pretty cool. They released it when the College World Series started here. Good summer beer, a tad more orange flavored than expected but overall pretty good.
I’d probably go with Kros Strain, Nebraska Brewing Co., and I’ve always been impressed with Site-1. Infusion is good too but can be inconsistent. If I could include Nebraska breweries that have tap house locations in Omaha I would add Thunderhead and Kinkaider.
Big fan of Kinkaider. Didn’t realize they weren’t based out of Omaha. Thoughts on Brickway? Love those guys.
Kinkaider is out of Broken Bow. I think I’ve only had Brickway a couple of times and it was before I really got into trying beers. I remember their whiskey being pretty solid though. I work downtown now though, so a day it’s not 105 degrees I’ll walk down and give it another go. I don’t drink a ton at home, so a lot of times I go to the actual brewery/tap house. NBC, Infusion, Kros Strain are all close to where I live. Kind of forgot about Brickway being downtown/by my work.
Oh yeah, it is delicious. Waiting for next batch to hit town. The King’s here currently are getting a little malty, about 2 months old.
I absolutely enjoy sours. But I feel you. Years ago I used to know what everyone was hunting in various regions and what was considered great, but now I just like (here) and even personally try things based on can/bottle art for the most part. Like it better this way
