Ymm, Beer

[devildeac]

For the best Scotch Ale I'll ever drink I'd definitely drop $7 for a 330 mL bottle.

I just accidentally dropped $36 for a 330 mL beer at Stella called The Explorer from Anchorage Brewing. It's a stout that looked special on their instagram, so I put in a phone order to them without knowing the price. Whoops! I'm sure it will be very good, so no worries.

Lesson learned. I've never seen a bottle of beer there for more than about $20, and that is for the good big bombers. But I'll check prices before I buy from now on. Shhh - no beer-buying probation!

Holy #$%$

I saw some Anchorage brews at that today in caged and corked 375 ml bottles (I think) and the owner said they're rather expensive. After hearing your report, I'm delighted I was not in the buying mood except for my $12 mini-growler .

Goose Island IPA and am uncertain as to ABV but I had two and both were delicious!

Even thought InBev owns GI now, that's still a good beer but I'll bet it's been a decade since I had one. My guess would be about 7% ABV.

15% ABV per Stella’s rockin’ hot Insta account.

Be careful with Irish ecstasy on date night

No worries, Mrs. Nrrrrvous seems to prefer the Golden Monkey (his words, not mine).

Hmmm...

Time to pour a Pancake House Stout whilst I type about What I Really Wanted to Say

Multi-tasking.

fuse likes to tell the story that the sale of Polygamy Porter (Why just have one?) was banned for sale in NC I believe due to the label.

I believe that is correct. No link.

[devildeac]

I never liked Shock Top either. Don't tell Mrs. Nrrrrvous.

I remember thinking a variety pack of Saranac was pretty good back in the day. But that was compared to Bud Light and Milwaukee's Best (The Beast) that was free at West-Campus frat parties. Maybe Nan wanted to ban the frats for giving away such bad beer.

I've had a couple good Saranac beers but that's been 20+ years probably.

This was the best beer on draft at Hooter's. Followed by Yuengling.

They paired nicely with 3-Mile Island Breaded Wings.

No Halloween costume jokes! What happens at Virtual Pub stays at Virtual Pub.

Indeed, the visuals/memories of that are still frightening.

[devildeac]

I can neither confirm nor deny that they still serve Killians on draft at Hooters.

Nahh the 336 Location got shut down, but not before John Daly got thrown out of there.

Hope you didn't send him to our area.

[devildeac]

Glad you enjoyed!

I also just got this Resident Culture Imperial Pastry Stout from Stella. I got a much better price on it than The Explorer.

@residentculture + @perennialbeer Collab A Beast For Thee 12% Salted Caramel Brownie Imperial Pastry Stout

Sounds amazing.

Three Notch'd is another classic Charlottesville brewery that I mostly missed out on due to cluelessness.

Did Hardywood have a location when you were there?

Did Hardywood have a location when you were there?

I’ve been to it. And then it shut down.

Yeah I never heard of a Hardywood in Charlottesville when I was there.

In Honor of the Cheats' 23 point blow-out loss and Brad Davison channeling his inner Harold "the Show" Arceneaux to show the cheats the door in the round of 64...

Roowaka - Equilibrium - 8 % - DIPA with Riwaka (Ymm New Zealand) and Galaxy

Untappd does their review pretty well, so here it is...

"We started with a Fractal fermentation and grain bill. The hop schedule uses a Citra whirlpool before a heavy dry hop of Riwaka and Galaxy. Roowaka pours a straw milky yellow with an aroma of passionfruit, assorted citrus, earthy hay, grassland, and pinch of white pepper. The rollercoaster ride of flavor starts off with notes of earthy white pepper before being quickly transformed into pops of citrus, passionfruit, white grape with, melon, and a touch of berries. The juicy buildup continues before ending with a soft and creamy finish with a touch of bitterness."

Can't disagree with any of that. Devildeac inspired me to go Equilibrium to celebrate...

Low Category 3. Very very good DIPA
