Toasting tonight's events with a Broo Doo. First time I've had it. Holy balls. Possibly the perfect IPA.
one of the beers I always love to drink when we go to Jamaica but could never buy here is finally available in the USA - Guiness Foreign Extra Stout. It's the best stout Guiness makes IMO and definitely different from their others at 7.5% ABV
3 Beers I must immediately purchase and put in my face upon their availability.... 1. Furthermore Knotstock2. Central Waters Ouisconsing Red Ale3. Big Sky's Moose Drool Brown AleNot a lot of bars and/or liquor stores carry these products. However if and when they do I usually (attempt to) clean them out.
I talked to a guy from NC at Rock Bottom on Saturday. He was here taking Master Brewer Assoc. classes at UW-Madison and plans to open a brewpub in NC. He mentioned they had a field trip to New Glarus and Capitol's breweries.He was extremely impressed with the new NG brewery, so clean you could eat off the floor. Was also blown away with their 100% weldless stainless piping throughout. He thought they took them to see Capitol afterwards to show them what NOT to do. He mentioned mold and when pressed said he would not drink their beer after seeing their brewery.He said there were folks from MillerCoors, Modelo, Corona and a few other breweries and Breiss Malting also taking the class.
If anyone cares, Three Floyds & Dogfish Head will be hosting a tapping party at Romans' on Wednesday @ 7pm for their new joint brew Poppaskull. I will be heading over for one before heading to the BC. I believe the one in Chicago is tonight at Hopleaf and in Madison on Tuesday at The Haze.
Romans' just announced they are also tapping a barrel of Hell's Black Intelligencer Oatmeal Stout as well. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/26/62891
Anyone ever gone to Y-Not II? Craziest bar ever.
Is anyone else going? I'm thinking about heading down.
we went after the game and the keg was gone already did have some DFH Worldwide stout, holy cow, 18% ABValso found the Sierra Nevada Grand Cru tastybarrels on deck include Founders CBS, Nemesis and Backwoods Bastard all of which I'd like to try, the CBS is extremely hard to find outside of the brewery itself
were you there with someone who ordered an alpha klaus? if so, i was sitting right next to you at the bar. anyway, i talked the guys at romans' and they are planning to do a Founders Brewery Day in mid-January where they will release CBS. My guess that goes in one hour. I went with the Three Floyds Hell's Black Intelligencer which was outstanding and the Dogfish Head Burton Buton which was also really good.
yeah that was the Mrs. ordering the klausbtw, Sunday at 5pm the Sugar Maple lists some sort of Founders thing going on, no details but I 1st read about it in an email from Founders, my guess is a few special treats might be on hand, I've already cleared my schedule after the Packers beat the Vikings <snicker> to make a run there and check it out
