Beer Thread

I had my last Hi-Res of the year on the patio with dinner so good and so dangerous.

I like your style. I think I have (4) Hi-Res left. Gotta work on that.
 
Have you had Mosaic Promise?

As I said above, I picked up some of the 2XSmash from ST. It was good, but neither me or the Mrs thought it as good as my, homemade MP clone. The mosaic is defiantly there, but the malt doesn't have that unique counter balance like the Golden Promise malt....which has a sweetness to it, without being too much. The SMASH just tasted like regular pale ale malt
Sadly, I have NOT had Mosaic Promise. My local gets all Founders' stuff, but not that. I've also tried relatively hard to secure SMaSH from ST, but have not been successful.

I will succor my wounds with the magnificent Desert Rose.

Just spent 5 mins looking at that or the 2XSmash at the store. Hadn't had either, and there was only 1 sixer of SMASH left.

I take it you highly recommend?

Hi-Res is an GREAT DIPA. It is 10.5% and it is smoooooth so it can be dangerous.

Very much recommend it.

You should get Mosaic Promise soon. As I posted in another thread we just got it today. I grabbed two six packs. Bottled 3/2. I can't wait to compare it to Lizard King head to head.

IMO lizard king is at least 2 levels above Mosaic Promise

The smoothest DIPA I've ever had is PF from FFF. 10%, and it's smoother than several 7.5%.

I did a clone, based upon some recommendations. I used a fortune worth of Citra hops. And it came out about 9%, and was also ridiculously smooth drinking, tasted like a 6% beer. Which was scary, as after 2 pints you still wanted more, but then the trip to the basement for a new pour suddenly became a bit more challenging.

I haven't tried to make again. I want to make something that was as good flavor wise, but doesn't put you on your ass, (or make you miss work the next day if you can't stay away from the tap.)

PF is 3F's best beer, IMHO. Blot Out The Sun is 2nd, again, IMHO.

Not from what I've had on tap. I've preferred Mosaic Promise. Maybe you're correct on the packaged format. I'm about to find out, though the LK a couple weeks older. Shouldn't make a big difference.

FFF best beer is PF. I 100% agree besides DL variants obviously.

I wasn't blown away by BOTS at all. I did score a BA Behemoth thanks to SuperHoosier this year. Behemoth regular is fuking delicious not sure when I'm gonna crack the BA Behemoth.
 
went to Deviate Brewing today as well as Black Acre.

Deviate is IMPRESSIVE. Great beers. The coffee banana beer and the dark chocolate cherry stout were world class.
Great information. Was planning to head there before the game. Now go **** yourself and I'll post in your thread if I feel the need to.
 
had an EPIC score on the beer front today.

Received two Prairie BOMB!, Evil Twin Molotov Cocktail,18th St Bitch B Crazy, 18th Street Undercrown, Mikkeller Mosaic, Mikkeller Monk's Brew, Evil Twin Freudian Slip and 18th Stree BA Hunter.

Also found a 2013 KBS in my cellar that I forgot I had. #Winning
Great information.
 
I did find out about the BOMB release through my share group. I did happen to see two other folks from the group at the store. I did not however wear my shirt. I left straight from work.

Nice artwork bro
 
One store in town "gets it". They got 2 cases of the 18th and 1 case of the BOMB. It it funny to watch the guy in front of me bypass the BA Hunter for an Oberon and then the guy after me had a 30 rack of Busch Light.
Great story
 
TMP replying to a beer thread = Outside shitter replying to all the pats football/tom brady posts.

We get it man. Your point is valid and taken. So why continue to beat a dead horse?

Your answer of "to educate us about it being a boring buzz that is lame and boring" is also beating a dead donkey...
Again great stuff
 
@eppy

stalk much?

your wife pass out in a food coma from the golden coral earlier so you needed some attention?
 
HIt 'em up TMP. That's why facked yo beyotch

We have discussed my lack of creativity at length. I'm a poser at everything I do. I'm not creative.

While you diagnose this post I hope you a safe travel back to normalcy.
I don't mind you facking with TMP
 
I've seen the 1st appearance of 18th St brewery showing up here in Indy just tonight. Only one flavor, in cans, and honestly can't recall what it was...but I've seen Hoops mention it.

Also a lot of bombers from New Oberpfalz.

Anything I should look for from either?
 
@twenty02

18th Street is the real deal. It takes a dump on FFF. Although Hoops likes to rave about New Oberpfalz it isn't bad and the russian imperial is amazing but they can't hold 18th Street's jock. Neither can FFF.

18th Street has a flagship "Hunter" stout that they do variants on like coconut, coffee, vanilla, etc. Their hoppy brews are so good. They rarely miss. I mean like 5% of what they try fails.

Had a Jai Alai with my salmon for dinner. Had a Ninja vs Unicorn for desert and now having a Pipeworks Raspberry Truffle Abuction all fine selections. Final course will be a mosaic hopped Lizard King.

Long day at work ....

Cheers
Hard working man you are phishy.

I hope they get more down here. It was just the first offering. It was cans, which is promising....but do they distribute/can a lot up north? Or just from the tap room?

As I said earlier, FFF is becoming an afterthought. When you are seeing stacks of gumball on the floor untouched, you know people are moving on.
 
those who enjoy a russian imperial stout w/ coffee and chocolate ...... in a can.

Holy shit this Big Ricc by Tall Grass is good. I got it off of France44 which ships out of MN so I assume Ovaltine can get it but WOW. Coffee bomb!

I'm only on page 3 and I've decided I've spent way too much time responding to your posts.

I came to this thread originally because I enjoy beer. Certainly not to your level, but I'm open to trying new things and I actually respect your opinion among the other beer advocates on here. You may not want me on here, but there's no reason to be such a dick. If you really care about craft beer and want to support those who make it then it would best serve the industry to share your knowledge with everyone. Im part of the everyone so don't be just an inclusive dick. That's all.

18th Street is the real deal. On all counts. I don't know if they take a dump on FFF, but they're the brewer that no one's heard of that is doing some phenomenal stuff.

New Oberpfalz isn't trying to be either, IMHO. They're going more "German craft," similar to Schell's in Minnesota.

Welcome back. I have nothing against you.

Grow some thicker skin. This is Andy's OTF. He is nicer than the original dudes that I had to deal with back in the 2000ish era so I'll give you a 2nd chance.

Ask away and we will help you out....

Rule #1 - it's not "craft beer" (although I just used that term for simplicity's sake), it's just beer.

You can learn a lot in this thread. I know a bit about beer, and I pale (pun intended) in comparison to Phish, Ptown, Hoops, Hank, and Twenty02. If they suggest a beer and you have access to it, try it.

Phish treats everyone like that, it's just nerd beer hazing.

Stick around Eppy. Beer is good for the soul.

@ovaltine and @Hoops Cat

isn't Drew from Pipeworks ? I thought I heard that a year or so ago that he was trained and worked at Pipeworks before deciding to go out on his own.

Hoops would know this answer.

There was a point in time that Gumballhead was Little O's favorite beer. He's moved on - he's my younger beer ninja.

Everything I've tried from 18th Street has been great - or greater.
