Report back!

 

It’s becoming harder and harder to find a satisfying ipa. Might just be burnt out.

 

I’m telling you guys the 10 Barrel Pearl DIPA is amazing

 

Cracked a Hazy Little Thing IPA. Life is good.

 

At Garrison City right now. Having an imperial stout on nitro with orange, vanilla, and chocolate. Had a peanut butter stout and a white stout with coffee, chocolate, and vanilla earlier. Life is good.

 

Ballast Point makes a p nut butter stout I’ve been meaning to check out.

 

Smuttynose makes a pretty good one too

I don’t think I’ll ever make a TH rare release. Good thing Alien Church is always available

 

Outside of something new that gets really hyped for whatever reason, so don't have to go to "releases" anymore. You can go night of or next day and get everything usually.

 

I’m somehow just finding out that the Tired Hands/Omnipollo series is likely in response to a pretentious Beer Advocate review. Love me some Tired Hands.

 

Yup, not likely, 100% is. When NEIPA was still kinda sorta new, one of the dickhead Alstrom brothers reviewed HopHands and bashed both the brewery and the staff because they should "know better than to serve milkshake beers".

 

I know I need to

 

My lady and I are brand ambassadors for the Illinois Brewery Running Series. We had our kick off event tonight and we got to take some cases of Revolution Anti-Hero and Fist City, Emiprical cream ale, Spiteful lager, and Marz black lager.

 

This is so awesome, I missed it when they brewed a batch for the taproom only a few weeks ago. Really excited to try this one.

 

There’s so much going on in that beer ingredient wise.

 

The Mad Fermentationist - Homebrewing Blog: The Economics of Opening a Brewery

Not a ton of groundbreaking info in here (you make more money off your beer at the taproom then in distro, yadda yadda) but a good post from Mike about his brewery.

 

So crazy I just found out the other day this guy opened a brewery. Have checked his blog in the past during my bigger homebrewing days.

 

Boy let me tell ya

 

Yeah. I would love to go there. I almost applied for their taproom manager position before they opened because I was like “fuck it, I’d love to work with them and I’d relocate” but they said they wanted someone local. He opened it with Scott Janis who’s homebrew blog is an incredible wealth of knowledge and is written very academically. He’s actually writing a book about hops that I’m really interested in reading.

Lol what I appreciate these types of releases these days is that I know I’m not the target demo. All of these things just scream “muddled as fuck good luck tasting anything at all” to me.

 

Yeah I just mentioned to some buddies I got in the DC area to check it out and let me know how it is. I doubt I'll take a road trip but next time I'm in the area I'll try to swing by.

 

Lemongrass, basil, and thai chilis is muddled? That's a pretty clear flavor profile they're going for.

 

When I go to Philly for this wedding I may have to choose between Tired Hands and going to Monk's Cafe...

 

To be fair, Omnipollo kind of invented the entire fad. So as far as I'm concerned, they can do whatever they want.
