One of my all time favorite beers, if not favorite. Was saving it for a special occasion. I had yet to get a nice bottle out of my cellar to celebrate my engagement.
Glad you were able to trade this one to me, Harrison. Thanks.

Anybody here going to the Sigma Christmas dinner?
Whoop!
Very nice and very jealous. I've heard on multiple occasions of how amazing that beer is. I missed out on the first go round of it and am holding out hope it gets released again.
isn't there a brewery right there now? I also see bar Louie has opened a location at willowbrook. The ones here in Denver are always packed.jetch17 said:
Willowbrook is too thoed these days
Man I remember driving from louetta to willowbrook on the at grade surface two lane highway. Amazing how much changes in 25 years. Already went from podunk, to developed and thriving, to ghetto?
I'm not attending the dinner, but I had Murry Fuggin Chrimmus last weekend, and it's fantastic.inoffensive username said:

I think that was set up. Sure, maybe brewery didn't know, but the one filming did. The video starts before the guy even comes inside. On either side of the door is solid walls, so he wouldn't have seen him out in the parking lot.. Even if he does see a guy out there with the big goofy hat on; why would you just start recording? I call this a PR move to soften the hearts of craft beer drinkers/anti-InBev people.Jock 07 said:

Any homebrewers in here want to upgrade or add on to your faucets?
I have 4 perlick 525ss for sale. Small flat rate box is only about $6.50, so not too bad.
$30 ea., or buy all 4 for $110 w/free shipping. I'll throw in several extra orings. No shank parts or handles.

Look what I found...
I know it's probably not as good as the original but I'm super excited to try it.

Picked my CBS up at lunch.
Any CS folks know when we should be seeing some CBS? I called Spec's yesterday and they seem to be clueless.
Who let you buy 2? My guy has a one bottle limit.

11 Below is near there.
The Westlake HEB. Most of the HEBs had 2pp limits that I saw.
I'll probably throw one of these in my fantasy football box since I didn't make the playoffs.

Sorry, but LaFours and I have all the B/CS allotment locked upTopher17 said:

Has anyone opened their CBS yet? I am aging one but am planning to open the other this weekend. I've heard mixed things, some people saying it is the best beer they've ever had. But I've also heard people saying the maple has lighter than they think and it is over-hyped. I'd love to hear a personal take from someone who has opened one from this batch!
No CBS in Houston yet

I bet he was the guy who bought all the bcbs at tower point.
J/k. Talked to Specs friends today and they think maybe Thursday cbs arrives. Wtf knows.
I think it would be unwise to age a coffee maple stout for much more than a few months. Maybe 6 tops if you keep it in the fridge.Buddy Sorrell said:

Haven't opened mine yet either but I'm hearing the same things here. It'll be pretty disappointing if the maple is weak but unfortunately, with the direction that founders seems to have taken lately, not all that surprising.Buddy Sorrell said:

Rumor is one dude bought the whole case that tower point H-E-B got.
Oh i didn't realize that. Why wouldn't it age well?NColoradoAG said:I think it would be unwise to age a coffee maple stout for much more than a few months. Maybe 6 tops if you keep it in the fridge.Buddy Sorrell said:

Coffee beers rarely age gracefully. Coffee oxidizes easily and can turn to a green pepper kind of flavor. Maple flavor is also going to fall off fairly rapidly.Buddy Sorrell said:Oh i didn't realize that.

Some barrel aged coffee stouts tend to go through an arc though where the coffee flavor may pretty much disappear after 2 or 3 years. Bourbon County Coffee tends to go through that progression. But that begs the question of why would you buy a coffee stout to drink 3 years later with no coffee flavor.
Just my .02, but my suggestion would be to drink CBS fresh and enjoy it as the brewers intended.

There is 5 cases sitting my specs down the road. Do you want some?
Snagged 2 CBS's today. Anyone see any gigantic massive around Austin?
Nice. What do the bombers run?
$24. Grabbed a couple as well.txag2008 said:

Oh I'm sure InBev game them a heads up, but that doesn't make it any less funny.
I would take some for sure if it isn't too much trouble.AggieStout said:Topher17 said:

Any Ags on here live in the Northeast? Recently moved up here and I've hit a few local breweries in my area (Southern New Hampshire) and also made the trek to Alchemist, but looking for a new spot to try out this weekend.
I'm not opposed to driving a ways as long as they have cans to go and/or growler fills. Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance.

Little bit more of a drive, but depending on where you are might be the same as the trek to Stowe.

Anyone seeing any CBS in Houston? The only place it's popped up on untappd is at the Sienna Plantation HEB. Probably not true.
A few of the Total Wines had it. Not sure how much.
