Yeah, fuck that noise. Agreed on sours/maple syrup. Even then, I only buy cascade on tap or bombers I split with 1-2 other people to lower costs (they range $28-45 here, depending on what you're getting). It's crazy, though.

 

Anyone try Dogfish's Siracusa Nera? They just re-released it and my God. It's a perfect roasty Stout for this time of year.

 

Speaking of cost-prohibitively adjunct’d stouts that are totally worth it...

 

This picture isn't working for me. What is it?

 

This is impossible to do on mobile. I think I changed it to a link. New stout at Tired Hands today. Aged on maple caramel, bourbon soaked cherries, vanilla beans and cacao nibs.

 

But you always rate them really high. Was this not good?

 

Oh no, it was fantastic. 4.75 from me on untappd. Only thing that it really "lacked" for me was the thick, almost syrupy body that a lot of these beers have.

 

I'm glad that this one was worth it, and their beer almost always is. but they are definitely one brewery that I usually question the price tag. their stuff is crazy pricey. but people buy it, so they don't see any issue with gouging the prices.

 

What have they released at that price point that was just a BA stout with nothing in it? I've totally been okay with buying their stuff from time to time if my budget allows. They do fantastic stuff. Doug's also seemingly been pushing prices up and increasing production to slow the bullshit of people hiring homeless people to get around bottle limits (yes, that was a real thing. People have even shaved beards off to try to go through the line a second time).

 

I may have that wrong as I usually have their stuff second hand as opposed to trading for it myself. I just thought we had some at my shares that were priced the same as their other stuff. They maybe weren't the best example as I love their stuff and I know most of it definitely falls into what we were talking about with being loaded with adjuncts where I think the price is justified.

And yeah, I've heard those horror stories about the lines down there. The craft beer community has some of my absolute favorite and most hated people in the world, haha.

 

Maybe you guys can help me out, does Sierra Nevada brew good stuff ?

 

In heaven at my local bar right now. Taplist has CBS, Hawaiian Speedway and Peanut Butter Cup Victory at Sea.

 

Appalachian Mountain Brewing Co's Spoaty-Oaty may be my new fav beer. So. Good.

 

Yes

 

backed.

 

That leads me to my next question, is the Celebration IPA worth a pick up ? This is something I've been wanting to try for some fucking time.

 

Celebration is different every year, but it’s always a solid beer. Haven’t had this year yet.

 

Haha i've had that but still don't feel qualified to rec it. I had it basically at 10am the morning after my 21st bday in hopes it would stave off the hangover

 

Really ? interesting. How's the Sidecar ?

 

Saw 7 bottles of CBS at the BevMo next to me, and 10 at Whole Foods tonight. I now feel silly running around to find one

 

Had Deth's Tar the other night for the first time and really enjoyed it. Going to pick up a couple cans of it tomorrow night.

 

I love it. This year’s is really solid.

 

I looked it up and it got stellar reviews ! I'm gonna pick up a six pack after work.

 

doing a bottle share tonight. first time ever, pretty stoked on it.

 

Enjoy it! Beside their Oktoberfests it’s my favorite Sierra Nevada beer.
