I don't make the rules, folks!

 

It's going to be in the mid 60s tonight....must resist.....

 

Pumpkin beer season is wild. Distributors are like "you have to have your pumpkin beer to us by the third week of July or you won't get shelf/tap space because you're beaten to the market" so all brewers are then brewing pumpkin beers around july 4th but then the market is like gross who wants that right now and they sit until october lol. I'm very glad to work at a brewery that doesn't make a pumpkin beer because that was awful to try to push.

 

I like me a good pumpkin beer, but the oversaturation is ridiculous.

More ambers, browns, and reds please. Also, more malty lagers and dunkelweizens.

And will someone please brew a nice brown porter for the fall?

 

No pumpkin beer talk before Labor Day minimum

 

Just had a talk yesterday about Red IPA's. Bring those and Black IPA's back, please. Can we get that trend going again?

 

victory is opening a tap room in the city soon and they hit me up saying they wanna set up an interview

 

Yes! Gimme some malt backbone, especially as the weather cools down.

Back when I used to homebrew (I need to start that back up) I brewed a "bourbon-barrel aged" (toasted oak chips soaked in bourbon) black IPA that probably had no business being good, but damn was it delicious. Came out malty and chocolatey with a nice hop character, a good balance of citrus and dank.

 

My old job made a black IPA and we filled one BB with it and then when it got enough whiskey character we re-dry hopped it with the original dry hop and it was so fucking good.

 

get that bread

 

they also have a taproom here shared with southern tier. not bad.

 

yeah they’ll have southern tier and whatever that other company is that’s under artisanal brewing as well at the tap room

Edit: it’s sixpoint

 

They have a location in Cleveland, too. It was nice to get some of the belgian stuff I like from Victory in a flight with Resin and then a gimmicky southern tier beer. Food was real solid, too.

 

Not good. I never rate beers a 3 on untapped because I feel bad but this one deserved it

 

So goddamn good

 

First time trying this, immediately one of my favorites from Allagash

 

Been in OK for 3 weeks now... have yet to find anything decent (Really missing even just Harpoon IPA or yuengling at this point), but Coop Ale Work's F5 IPA is a bit tasty. Also, beer is so much less expensive in OK than on Cape Cod. But I'd also rather pay more for some good stuff at this point.

Only one brewery in town (a native American casino, surprisingly), the next closest ones are 30-40 min drives to the middle of nowhere. I think this is a perfect time to start a homebrew kit...

 

Next time I'm driving through OK, I will definitely be stopping at a Prairie location. Wife's favorite brewery at the moment and they tend to have decent looking draft menus.

 

OMG I need that!

 

Went to Portland and Seattle with my family and didn’t make it to either Fair Isle or Holy Mountain (which hurt, but they’re 21+ and my younger bro’s only 14), but we did go to Fremont, Von Ebert, and Upright - all of which were great. Von Ebert had surprisingly good food, and the beer was awesome at all 3. Maybe the standout was an oak-aged Brett lager from Von Ebert. Super crushable and dry but lots of barnyard complexity.

 

Ordered the Imprint x Mortalis collab. I’m excited

 

I have to admit I had a pumpkin beer yesterday

 

quick which can of suarez should i get at torst, fine line or walk don’t run?
