Oso planning to go pro
I picked up a few bottles of Founders Devil Dancer (triple IPA @ 12%). $5/bottle at Discount makes this the same price as KBS. Although this is a very tasty brew, while the KBS is a unique style so I don't mind stocking up as much as possible (2 more bottles there Saturday!) the Devil Dancer is not what I would consider unique and it makes Hopslam look affordable.I also talked to Discount's beer rep for Founders (and many brands), seems like he's always there Friday evenings, he said that Founders expanded 2 years ago by doubling capacity and they are doubling it again now but since they are also expanding their distribution territory supply is worse now than before. Last year he got 120 cases of Devil Dancer and this year only 40 cases, that's for the entire state of WI. Each Discount location got 1 case.
have you heard anything about them possibly distributing CBS in the future?
friend of mine tried to the New Glarus Belgian Red Cherry Ale...awful. kind of like Cold medicine and berry weiss
If your talking about the belgian red thats funny because its one of the highest rated fruit beers in the world (might be # 1 actually). Its a sour brown ale aged in giant oak vats with over a pound of real Wisconsin cherries per bottle... anything but mediciney. And comparing it to the fake tasting berry weiss is a joke.
nope sorry, staying with my opinion. that beer is awful.
Victory Brewing - brewery out of PAPicked up their "Prima Pils" as a last gasp for summer brew. Really a good crisp Pils. Also, I note that the beer fridges are now being filled with Octoberfest brews. I am not ready for Octoberfest beer until after Labor Day.
also, start with something dark, the darker the beer the easier it is for it to turn out decent.
