Ymm, Beer

[devildeac]

Pilsner... ten of twenty, most of which I’ve never seen to try.

https://gearpatrol.com/2016/04/13/be...?read_single=1

I *think* I've had 9 from the list.

[devildeac]

Lastly, my favorite list of the day since I’ve had ‘em all 🍻

https://gearpatrol.com/2019/02/02/best-everyday-ipas/

Yay for me. I tied fuse with a 9 out of 9 on the list.

I *may* have found your first Ymm, Beer post, just over seven years ago. A good start .

That was the oldest post I found as well.
Could have sworn I was posting before the 2010 championship, and there’s no evidence to support that.

In the grand scheme of things, not a big deal. 🍻

It'd be somewhat (rather? highly?) unusual to have no posts for 17-18 months, but I have a feeling/suspicion that there may have been some posts deleted given that long gap. Agreed, no big deal.

Visited Capital Ale House in Midlothian, Va. today and had a Wicked Weed Tropicmost Gose.
From them:

It's pretty funky. With passionfruit. I tasted it slowly. Carefully, but enjoyed. Certainly wasn't my typical Bud Light!!

Had an Allagash White earlier, awesome as always. May re-sample New Glarus Raspberry Tart before the evening ends, or save for the beatdown NCSU deserves Sat.

Next Coast (draft)-Goose InBevsland Brewing Company

Two bucks for a 12 ounce draft. Heck yea!

Poured a clear, yellow-gold with a creamy, off-white head. Mixed bouquet up front with a bit more orange and zest than pine. Palate was almost all orange and zest with some grapefruit and melon with a hint of resin. Eureka, Nugget, Mosaic, Citra, and 06277 hops create the IBUs of 40 and ABV of 7% so it's an IPA but what type? Imperial session IPA? Clear NEIPA? De-bittered regular IPA? I'm simply trying to help the new guy out to sell 100 cases or equivalents (yep, the distributor and/or InBev has that requirement of their retailers) so he can get a case or three of the Bourbon County this year .

Quadruple Barrel Big Bad Baptist (draft)-Epic Brewing Company

Release #2 (from the electronic beer board but not labeled as such on the website)

The owner of Falls Village Wine and Beer was kind enough to pour a two ounce taster for me that I let warm to almost room temperature as I sipped Next Coast.

Highly intriguing, amazing stuff and, at suggested retail of $10 for 12 ounces or $21 for a crowler it should be .

Here's their description:

"We’ve taken barrel-aging to a whole new level by aging shaved coconut, almonds, and Blue Copper’s Colombian coffee beans in fresh whiskey barrels, while our Imperial Stout ages separately in both rum and whiskey barrels. Then, our brewers hand blend each batch creating the most complex and outrageous version of Big Bad Baptist we have ever made." (the "label" also claims roasted cacao)

Pour was onyx with a thin, tan head. Astonishing aromas of dark chocolate, espresso, molasses and booze, followed by tastes of the same plus nuts, Almond Joy and Mounds candies, wood, vanilla, and dark fruits. I'll guess IBUs about 60 based on the style and the stated ABV is 11.2% but it tastes/feels way more boozy than that and I'd have guessed 14%+. Stunning beer. If he'll sell me a crowler of this at 20% off next Saturday, it may travel to Columbus and Chicago with us to share with family. He passed on ordering any bombers of this at $30/bottle as he figured they'd sit for quite a while at that price.

A day late. Sorry. Hope someone thought to treat their special partner to one of these yesterday, or tonight, or tomorrow:

This was the Sycamore offering I mentioned alongside the Mountain Candy IPA when devildeac asked upthread. A good, flavorful lager. Bright gold, foamy white head. Somewhat bready with a touch of sweetness. 4.9% ABV, so sessionable. Happy I got a four-bagger & have three remaining.

[devildeac]

Always nice to have one of these in your house at this time of year (or any time of year ):

I tried Mountain Candy at Craft Centric last weekend. I thought it was a solid beer but didn't reallly stand out to me.

Agreed. Although standout IPA’s are really hard to come by anymore, IM(sageH)O.

Indeed 🍻

For accfanfrom1970:

Some "second" hand reviews pouring () in last PM on the 2018 GBS Complete set from our younger son-in-law who shared two bottles last week with friends:

Apple Brandy Barrel GBS-a bit disappointing given expectations, but still good/very good

Christmas Pancakes-excellent combination of flavors; very well done variant

We also shared two bottles last PM and I'll post those thoughts later this AM or this afternoon.

Another couple thank yous/thank-yous for our December beer mules, accfanfrom1970 for his brewery pick-up and fuse for his personal delivery.

Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks for the reminder.

You're welcome. I'm here to serve (in whatever manner that might be interpreted on Ymm, Beer ).
