The Beer Thread

[sweetcell]

you do not.  it was an analogy: i am going to hit The Alchemist tasting room as hard as i would hit a luxurophile that owes me money, if one owed me money.

[Julian, Bespoke SEXPERT]

you do not. 

OK, just wanting to make sure I did not miss something. Julian squelches on no debts! An IOU deferred is an IOU denied!

[sweetcell]

coupons for a free (empty) growler & $2 off a fill at a few Total Wines in NoVA: klink - read the fine print for locations, and supposedly you can only use one at a time although it can't be too hard to get around that one... expires july 10.

possibly for the Julian's America thread...

let's say it's hot
but the beer cozy makes you look like a redneck
and you kinda want to look like a lululemon mom


well....botttlekeeper ($25) is for you

So far I have claimed two empty growlers with this offer and filled a couple of 32 oz growlers. Most notable score was Ocelot Wicked Garden DIPA, which is an $11 32 oz fill at the brewery, but was $4.99 with coupon at Total Wine.

at CK on Tuesday, July 19:

Join us on Tuesday, July 19th as we showcase the newest and freshest batch of DC Brau On the Wings of Armageddon! On this night, ChurchKey will feature this beloved local beer six different ways, on both draft and cask.

First poured at ChurchKey in December 2012, OTWOA has earned a strong following with beer enthusiasts, both locally and nationally. Brewed exclusively with the proprietary hop blend Falconer?s Flight, this Imperial IPA exudes bright fruit aromas of citrus, white grape and grapefruit.

In an effort to complement the fruit forward hop aromas, as well as the warm summer weather, DC Brau has prepared 5 exclusive casks of OTWOA, each conditioned with a different tropical fruit; mango, guava, lychee, pineapple and tangerine.

There is no admission fee for this event and all DC Brau beers will be priced individually by the glass and in 4 oz. tasting pours.

DC Brau On the Wings of Armageddon - Imperial IPA - 9.2%
DC Brau On the Wings of Armageddon w/ Mango (Cask)
DC Brau On the Wings of Armageddon w/ Guava (Cask)

I can't imagine very space friendly per ounce costs round them parts.

lol, definitely not.  i wouldn't be surprised if these were $15 a pour, although i'm hoping for maybe $12.  certainly not something you order with cost vs. quantity in mind... these are potentially once in a lifetime beers, short of travelling to Belgium.

Sweets, was kind of hoping to get a Gonzo/Julian style commentary on the Beercation you went on

working on it...
