Ymm, Beer

Sadly have consumed my last Westbrook Key Lime gose.

Wow, it was good while it lasted.
Salty, sweet and tart without the over the top punch in the face some goses pack.

Hint taken.

We'll be passing through W-S on Friday 4/27 on our way to Columbus, IN via Lexington, KY and returning from Columbus, OH through the same zip code on Monday 4/30. Likely won't have time to play any ten pin but would certainly make time to transact some ale business .

A rare find. I have one I never drank from several years ago and was lucky enough to get a couple of the 2017 version.

A friend brought me a bottle this weekend. They had some at the liquor store down the street, about $30 for a 4 pack. I didn't spring for it, because I knew I was already getting a bottle.

Have a friend visiting from Spain next month. Might make a weekend drive to 3 Floyd's so I'm stocked up whenever he arrives.

Interesting. The time we stopped at FFF and the several (many?) times I've perused their website, it almost always appears that a good local craft beer store will have a better selection than the brewery. Usually $1-2 more per bomber or 6er but still better selections than they claim at their "to go" shop.

Let me know further details & perhaps a drop-off can be arranged, as I now have a bottle of Dead & Berried with your name on it. The kind bartender actually allowed me to have a small taste of the draft, and it is exactly what you would expect from a Foothills imperial stout.

Further communication forthcoming next couple days. And, of course, many thanks.

I plan on going to a craft store as well, but there are several beers that you can only get at the brewery. Also doesn't hurt that I've been looking for another reason to make a trip

Very sound thinking.

Good luck.

From 6/27/17:

All Day IPA-Founders Brewing

Two ounce canned sample from the local Founders beer rep.

Pour was a yellow-gold with a small head. Simcoe and Amarillo hops impart (some) grapefruit and (more) pine to the aromas and tastes. IBUs of 42 and ABV of 4.7%. Why not label it a pale ale? Not bad, but I prefer the "real thing."

From last PM:

All Day IPA (19.2 stovepipe can -dated 2/28/18)-Founders Brewing

This was beer #2 from my April beer club 4 pack.

Upon further review, there might be a bit more citrus (grapefruit and orange) and rind in the canned version but there's still a lot of piney/resin tastes for a session IPA. Probably picking nits here, but, I'd still prefer an standard IPA, though one with more tropical and/or citrus-y and juicy tastes than piney/resinous ones. Still a very good beer.

As you’d expect, super hazy, juicy fruity.
True to style.

I had the "wanker" Clown Flanders Red this weekend at a brewpub that shall not be named. I agree, tasty beer.
