The Beer Thread

speaking of Anchorage, i recently acquired their "The Tide and Its Takers" brett'ed triple.  giving a little time for the bugs to do their thing, but looking forward to enjoying it.  haven't had anything bad from Anchorage yet.

neat, haven't seen that one. 

have you had their bitter monk? belgian IPA on brett.  it's really fucking incredible.

in case anyone was looking for an excuse to raid their cellar: this saturday - 12/13/14 - has been unofficially labeled "Vertical Day".  break out those mutli-year flights!

i was considering doing a '12/'13/'14 vertical of Parabola, then i realized that unless i recruit help i'm not going to survive it.  might need dig through the collection for something that comes in lower ABV and smaller bottles

got that Anchorage via a trade with someone in SF.  will keep my eyes open for the bitter monk.  IPA + belgian + brett sounds like an iffy combo but if anyone can pull it off, it'll be anchorage.

goose island's annual bourbon county stout is out. if you see it, drink it.

yup, been around since black friday.  getting regular was surprisingly easy.  the variants (barleywine, coffee, vanilla, etc) were impossible to find unless you stood in line early on black friday.

if you see it, drink it.

some people love it fresh but i'm more in the "sit on it" camp.  BCBS is too hot when fresh, IMO.  in a year or two it turns into something magical.

I think she meant just drink it right in the store.  Like a download, pay what you want, or not. Just say, radio head to the cashier.

swinging by de garde brewing tomorrow on my roadtrip down to northern california. looks like excellent timing (although when is it not?) as imperial peach bu, the lucy, and the boysen are all available for bottles-to-go.  they also have block 15 sticky hand's on as their guest tap, so there's that, too.

is it only sold 2 bottles at a time, in three stores, that are only open on every other third Thursday?

I have been drinking some excellent beers lately. I can't wait to post a list of some of the highlights. News at 11.  what the wagon calls, and that is OK.

In the spirit of walky's walkyness, I enjoyed a roanoke va craft brewery tour yesterday and probably tripled the amount of beer I've drank in the last year. I have tasting notes on 15 beers to share tomorrow!!

Sit tight!! (Until tomorrow!)

You also have to know the secret knock to get into the store, and then a secret handshake to be allowed to purchase the beer.
