I also found Funkwerks Tropic King in the build your own 6 pack for 9.99 section, when they were selling 4-packs of it for 9.99. Been enjoying the hell out of that during the heat this week.
they have a mix pack of their provisionals for like $18, yet a 4 pack is $10. Weird.

PS I am loving Roll in the Hay so far.

7.5% ABV
White Burgundy and some Viognier barrels

Tasted the anniversary beer unfiltered a few weeks ago and it was very interesting as well. I hate the "quintuple IPA" moniker, but it drank rather nice for a nearly 13% wine-y, juicy, hop bomb. The new (Aggie) head brewer thinks it should easily age till the 10th Anny.


So it's a barley wine?

Disneyland is only about 1.5 hours away. Might be able to use that as a bargaining tool to spend more time on 30th Street.

Let me give y'all some more information:

Firstly, I'm not crazy about calling it a Quintuple IPA and would have preferred just "Karbach 5th Anniversary," so we can avoid categorizing it at all.
Production ran with the 5th anniversary theme and conceptualized the beer around that number, so there are 5 malts, 5 hops (I believe from 5 different countries), 5 fermentable sugars (Maltose, dextrose, blue agave, maple syrup, and belgian candy sugar), and 5 types of yeast. I'm sure all the hops will be listed when it comes out next month, but I've never heard the list.

Nice.

Thanks for the information.

I look forward to trying Karbach's 120 Minute IPA.





But seriously, it sounds really cool and I do look forward to trying it.

I think we'll be there March 11-17 or so. We are going to hit LA and Joshua Tree National Park for a day each before heading down to Legoland, the zoo, Sea World, and Toronado. (Just me and my 8 year old).

When you ask the bartender if they have any craft beers and they reply: "Shock Top".

Thursday. The Napa portion just got shortened to lunch and a vineyard visit, though. No RRBC. That's ok, Bouchon has Pliny...and steak frites.

as have I. But no time to go that far north and Bouchon has it so I'm good. Besides, I have to save room for the 24 bottles of Rare Barrel I'm bringing back.

They'd be ok with the second, not so much the first.

As soon as I find out the IBUs I'll let you know, but this is a hop forward beer to be sure. I saw the agave/maple/Candi sugar mixture go into the kettle, and it was a lot less than you're probably imagining. I'll be extremely interested to get yalls feedback. I know the head brewer who gave me a taste was very happy with the result.

see i think Rodeo Clown is sweet as sh*t (for an "IPA") ... dont get me wrong i love clown in its own right and get how its brewed, but not what i think of when it comes to DIPA. That award goes to Hop Delusion, that reminds me of a fresh hoppy west coast IPA and wish they would do Delusion year round.

Im definitely curious to try this new quintuple one, always happy to see Karbach's success and new offerings to add to the lineup.
