The Beer Thread

There was no way I could attempt to blow through 48 of those in the next few weeks.

I can be down in Richmond in 90 mins...we can do it this weekend!

edit....sounds like next weekend is open...expect me around 9pm Friday night

Last night at the 9:30 Club...

First beer - Star Hill - Northern Lights IPA - It was completely undrinkable and maybe one of the worst beers I've had in a long time. I suspect miller lite was flowing through the taps and then new castle and then they switched to a year old IPA. I considered taking it back to the bar, but I decided not to. I'm not sure why I went against my "never order a draft at a bar that doesn't specialize in beer" rule.

Second beer - Flying Dog - Doggie Style Pale Ale - Bottle, drinkable, but not too tasty.

Third Beer - Budweiser - Bottle - Best beer of the night.

I read your last line first and didn't notice who had posted and thought, oh cute Hutch is beer thread posting again.

weyerbacher's sunday morning stout, aka the poor man's KBS, is out.  at $18/four pack, not sure it still gets that moniker... i was planning on picking up more than one pack, but at that price i got a founders imperial stout foursome instead of another SMS.  i'll try one tonight and cellar the rest unless it tastes amazing fresh.

i certainly hope that some age will improve the SMS, because the bottle i had tonight was a mess.  hot alcohols, soapy quality to the coffee, weird lingering astringency on the tongue... i cannot recommend this beer.  if i could i'd get a refund. 

washed it down with a founders imp.  definitely should have bought more of that instead.

I was going to offer to trade you something for your remaining bottles, but I realized I have too much SMS already....interesting thing about that beer is it has a two-year best by date on it. You don't often see that with this high abv bourbon aged beers. (I hope hope my other bourbon beers that I've had for 2ish years aren't sitting around going bad.)

Any idea when Bell's Black Note comes out?

I do not, but that same pub is having a Bell's dinner tomorrow night with a Bell's rep and I can find out for you.

Merci and gracias.

I did ask about this last night, and his response was "the first rule of the Black Note secret society is we don't talk about Black Note." Then he laughed and said they won't be putting it out again any time in the next few months, probably Winter 2016.

Then he gave me a ton of stickers and buttons and bought me an Expedition Stout.

I mean, minus the "brah", yeah. Wait, if I talk to musicians, will they buy me drinks too?

So... I learned the official definition of "Merkin" last night and I'm wondering why anyone would name their beer "Velvet Merkin."
