Damn that sucks. Rogue Dead Guy was one of my first ever craft beers back in the day and one I’d get if I saw it out in the wild.
Anyone in CA willing to ship me some pliny? I can provide label, a fee for sourcing etc. It's my brothers favorite and it would cool to have a bottle with him at Christmas. Or is there a place online you can buy it?
Here's a listing for 2 bottles of Elder and one Younger. Don't know what retail on these bottles is. https://www.mybeercollectibles.com/...elder-1-bottle-of-ddh-pliny-the-elder/1968380
First time in a few years I’ve had a Bourbon County stout. The chocolate praline variant this year is very good.
https://www.instagram.com/grimmales/reel/DR0lDxRjYmE/ Grimm Artisanal Ales (Grimm Ales) offers Bierstacheln, a traditional German "beer brûlée" where a hot metal poker (bierstachel) is plunged into high-gravity beers like stouts and barleywines, caramelizing sugars, creating a warm, toasty foam, and adding smoky, marshmallow-like notes. This process, also called "hot poker" or "loggerhead" technique, transforms the beer, making it a popular winter treat, and Grimm brings this dramatic, flavorful experience to their taproom with specific cold-weather releases. What it is: Bierstacheln (Beer Brûlée): A centuries-old German tradition where a red-hot iron rod (bierstachel) is plunged into a beer, creating instant caramelization and a thick, foamy head. The Effect: The heat caramelizes sugars, adds notes of toffee and burnt caramel, reduces carbonation for smoothness, and creates a warm, marshmallow-like aroma and texture on top, while the beer below stays cold. How Grimm Ales uses it: Specific Beers: They apply this to high-gravity beers, including stouts and barleywines, perfect for colder seasons. Taproom Experience: Grimm offers this as a seasonal option, transforming their strong beers with the dramatic flair of the hot poker.
Friend in Charlotte sent me a wild news story about the owner of Sycamore. Fucked up is an understatement, the entire city is boycotting.
Damn, sucks for the wife, especially if she truly has now taken over sole possession of the brewery. Gotta change the name now or something.
The puppy has been doodleized in the name of the father, the son, and the barrel aged stout. He’s official now.
I don’t come in here often but glad to see the Haze bros representing. I don’t get a ton of groundbreaking hazies in Alabama anymore but I will check back in for the ridicule of me enjoying a beer everyone else thinks taste like cat piss.
