Check out smith st, they had at least 3 4pks on the shelf. Also downtown saucer had it on tap

Green flash palate wrecker tonight followed up by a hellfighter later on. This platate wrecker reminds me a little of Myrcenary. Can't wait for Odell to get here later this year.

Gay porn at that. But it's a damn good beer.

I made my Kentucky Bourbon Ale last as long as possible. Thanks for the heads up! I love this thread!

I had the Four Swords at Harvey's, also. Really liked it.

Did my best to have an "unbiased tasting" last night. Wasn't exactly perfect, but I think it turned out pretty well.

The carnage:


The results:
#1: The Dogfather: Not my #1 at all, but I was pouring and knew what I was drinking.
#2: 2013 FW Parabola (My #1 and what I brought)
#3: Espresso Oak Aged Yeti: Actually tied with the Parabola, but two very different beers.
#4: Boulevard Imperial Stout: The yeast made this a much different beer. Very "belgian-y"...
#5: 2013 Abyss: Little surprised by this one, but I get it.
#6: Old Dubh 16

I tried to get all my friends to bring barrel aged stouts that had a similar taste profile. Didn't exactly pan out, but it was still a fun time. The Old Dubh was kinda way out there (pretty sure it's classified as an old ale).

Next month... Double IPA's.

A little Sunday evening tasting:



FYI, for those not wanting to empty their cellar for the Proprietors. I tasted it side by side with a regular bcbs + french pressed toasted coconut. And the three of us prefered the homemade prop because it had a much stronger coconut flavor than the original

Got back from Breckenridge/Denver. Enjoyed plenty of Upslope, Hop Ranch, CS St Bretta & Renegade's triple IPA

My first RRBC beer. Pliny the Elder at Falling Rock.


New Belgium Rockstar Colab - sour collaboration between Falling Rock & Starbar owners

Might be stuck at work until the end of "The Great Freeze" starting 5am tomorrow, so it's ten fidy tonight

NOCO, I'm back to staying again in Greeley on Monday nights. Let me know when you can meet up. I stay at Marriott so usually walk to old chicago, arrive 5-6 ish.

Nice. Monday nights are pretty good for me right now as well. Next Monday will depend on how the Broncos do on Sunday. I will probably be taking the day off, along with 2/3 of the rest of the Colorado workforce, if the Broncos win.

Speaking of Pliny, the Younger hype train is picking up speed. Always a great beer surrounded by too much BS.

Speaking of Pliny, the Younger hype train is picking up speed. I can't wait to get out to California and have glass of great beer with good friends and meet interesting people.

I never once said anything like that.

If you haven't had Pliny the Younger by the 6th, you might as well pour it out. Turns into a total malt bomb after that.

Victory Old Horizontal. Really easy BW to drink. I don't think Victory makes a bad beer.

A little Eugene tonight...



Spent the day at home today. 2nd Ice day in 4 days... C' mon Austin. Not looking forward to making these days up in the Spring.

Founders Backwoods Baaaaastard tonight..... Love that beer!

LOL, a perfect re-creation of every third post on Russian River's Facebook page.

Interesting

Having some Juliet tonight, much better than Lolita in my opinion.

I normally loathe whole foods and the total clustee those places are, however, the woman convinced me to go to the one at the domain last night. ~50 beers on tap meant i had a good time after downing a few flights.

Damn! Didn't think WF would have that many on tap. There's one planned in The Woodlands. Hopefully they take after that model. Especially since Hubbell & Hudson is closing and our beer guy moved to a growler place further in town.

Picked up some Kentucky Bourbon Ale today!

What did you think of it? I'm hearing that Texas distributors are now able to get it, so if you have a Spec's nearby, request it, and they should be able to fulfill on a regular basis. The College Station Spec's says they will be carrying it from now on...
