I’m actually off Friday the 5th and would be glad to do some “shopping” in advance.

Thanks!! I'll be in touch .

Don't worry, fortunately for you, there are finite limits on my stomach volume, alcohol tolerance, and bank account beer budget.

I'll happily accept and appreciate whatever small, surprise sampler pack can be assembled based on availability.

And I'm good for it. I assume you accept payment in cash, check, credit, consult fee IOUs, and/or pie, right?

Any/all of the above all constitute "legal" tender .

From 4/11/17:



From last PM:

KBS (draft)-Founders Brewing Company

Did anyone know that it's actually Canal Street Brewing Company dba Founders Brewing Company?

Price increase for 2019 now $6/half pint pour .

Dark chocolate, chewy, fudge-y bourbon ball, dipped in ground coffee. In a glass. There are hints of molasses, dark caramel and dried fruits, too. IBUs are the same and this year's ABV is now 12.3% and it is frighteningly quaffable. The two bottles that'll be delivered in 2 weeks from Ohio at $6 each will preclude another half pint or pint draft for me again this weekend or next week. Outstanding BBA flavored imperial stout.

From 6/27:

KBS-Founders Brewing Company

This was only a 2 ounce taster but always worth a BTTT post to remind folks how good this is. A pint would have been $12. I'm still happy with the two 12 ounce bottles in "storage" obtained from Ohio for about $6 each.

Pinehurst Brewing Company Hawaiian Delight. If you can’t actually be in Hawai’i (still), this could be the next best thing. A Berliner Weisse, it was just what the doctor ordered after walking No.4 today (as a practice round for the boy). Bright gold. Nice and tart. Citrus flavors, but they weren’t overdone. 3.9% ABV. Mega-refreshing. Another hit from PBC.

I am shocked that fuse has not yet provided us with this July 4 beer list:

7th Sun Round Corners Lager

Pretty much a beer.

Went well (as intended) with shisito peppers.

😱

Well, if nothing else I guess this means the links I find are somewhat valuable, interesting or amusing. 😀 🍻

Maine was very, very kind to the beer fridge.

Allagash and the Bier Cellar should have been very happy to see us.

Absolutely yes!

My printing press won't be but my beer "cellar/fridge" and palate will be delighted, rumor has it.

Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA

Smells faintly of pine.

Good mouthfeel, orange pith bitterness and flavour.

A good beer for sure.

Some are repeated from prior lists .

Fullsteam Steak Knives

Probably a bit awkward to admit how much I have wanted to try Coffee is for Closers big brother.

So, so amazing and at 12.2%, a flight sized sample was enough.

Rich, thick and chocolately with a robust coffee finish.

I exercised a bit of restraint and did not bring a crowler of Steak Knives home.
This was a mistake.

I'm here to help...

YABMUARBC
(Yet Another beer meet up at RBC)

First up...

Peach Bell Tower Berliner Weisse

Smells and tastes mildly of tart peach.
Evokes nice memories of DFH Festina Peche.

[fuse]

RBC Current Kolsch

As a sidebar, I really enjoy brightly coloured or beers of unusual hue.
(Provided, of course, that the beer is good.)

Looks like cloudy grape juice.

A bit of an odd flavour, almost raisin-y (which I guess could make sense).
Probably won’t revisit this one, not my favorite collection of flavours.

Bravo to RBC to choosing a fairly bland palate of kolsch to allow the currant to shine through, for better or for worse.

[fuse]

RBC Sunswept Lemon Saison

I think the currant taster has wrecked my palate a bit.

I always enjoy this beer at RBC.

It’s pretty mild/flat/just ok today.
Won’t keep me from ordering in the future.

[fuse]

RBC Grape and Funk

No clear indication if this is new, or a rebrand of Grape & Grain.
There are Grape and Grain bottles in the cooler, so I am sticking with new and different.

Clear amber pour, no head, smells “wine-y”.

Labeled a 2017 barrel aged brett saison.
Pretty mild flavours for a big beer.
Low carbonation.
Alcohol kick on the finish with some heat.
