The Beer Thread

[James Ford]

I have never actually drank a whole cup of coffee. The fact that you like it tells me everything I need to know about you.  Curiously, I do like coffee flavored beer.

Isn't coffee the best drink?

Actually, I have never understood the appeal of coffee.  They tell me it is an acquired taste like beer but I keep trying and I never acquire a taste for it.

That is not suprising.  I like coffee flavored beer, coffee flavored ice cream, coffee flavored milkshakes.. it is weird.

Another outstanding batch of Hopslam!   Finishes like no other - so dry and clean.  Almost like a nice champagne....

As of Saturday, growlers of Nugget Nectar for $13.99 at Perfect Pour, they've also released bombers this year.

Oh Hopslam.  Did I miss it this year?  Is it still on the shelves?

[James Ford]

Some places got it yesterday. Others are reporting they will receive it tomorrow.

There's always a big rush to get that first shipment, but people forget that they make more than one shipment. If you don't get any this week, there will be a much less sought after second shipment in a few weeks.

Me, I still have a case of Zombie Dust to drink. So I don't think I'll get a six pack. My local beer place got a couple of kegs of it and they do growlers, so maybe I'll get a 32 oz growler of it. That would beat the draft prices Churchkey charges. Ah, anything to avoid giving Churchkey my business.

According to the distributor I deal with in Pa, who supplies the eastern side if the state including Philadelphia, there will not be another shipment

That's nice, but Sucaba is the real knockout that will be arriving any time now.
