Ymm, Beer

[devildeac]

Those beers are too good and precious to risk ruining them. I don't blend like Brian

Trust me. You will not ruin any of them by mixing a Raspberry Tart with a Belgian Red. Or a Cran-bic with an Apple. Or any combination. You can imagine you're drinking a Serendipity variant!

[devildeac]

This makes me think of that amazing Strawberry Quicksour from Fullsteam that fuse got me. You wouldn't believe how good it was unless you tasted. And I don't even like Strawberries. I definitely probably was not drinking Strawberry Quik in my youth when there was Jolt to be had.

I'll be moving this up in the queue this week after that endorsement.

Good golly, I'd forgotten about Jolt Cola. IIRC, their slogan was all the sugar and twice the caffeine, or something like that.

The Cran-bic-Apple does sound intriguing. Did you try that?

No way I'm messing with Belgian Red & Raspberry Tart as is.

Almost certain I've mixed equal parts Cran-bic and Apple Ale in the past. Along with Cran-bic and Raspberry. And Cran-cherry. And Apple-Cherry. And Raspberry-cherry. Ya gotta remember, Serendipity is apples, cranberries and cherries.

Sharing works. These sound like big beer bottles I don't need to be alone with

The Magellan variant are all 8 ounces. Really. They're also 13% ABV. Very limited release.

Wait, where'd RJ go?

[devildeac]

I have it on good authority, there've been some Ymm, W(h)ine discussions.

Dale's Pale Ale-Oskar Blues Brewery

Local enough

Credit-upcoming VP theme
Style-a pale ale that looks/sounds/drinks like an IPA
Format-12 ounce can
Canned on 05/05/20 (uh oh)
Glass-standard pint glass
Appearance-excessively foamy light bronze
Nose-pine and wet cardboard
Mouthfeel-pine and a bit astringent
Tastes-pine, orange and wet paper
Overall impression-disappointing, but it's on me as I failed to check the "canned on" date
Ymm, Beer rating-low cat 2, barely, but fresh, it's a high cat 2 and easily worth a single to buy for this Saturday's VP is you can find a "freshie"

I don't care if they ain't cheap. I need to try some Wolf's Ridge. Hook me up!

I have some for you, delivery soon I hope.

You're a good fellow.

Raspberry Stout-Hardywood Park Craft Brewery

From Untappd: "Dark chocolate malts, cacao nibs with a hint of raspberry finish, like a sweet dessert after a five star dinner out."

There's more than a hint of a raspberry finish !

Looks like the timer's been set again.

The more I research, the thirstier I become:

"Welcome to the future. Our collective human consciousness, or Ghost in the Machine, has gained a tolerance for hops beyond what mankind has ever known before.

This Double India Pale Ale is the necessary outcome."

I'm giving ClemmonsDevil as much build up as I'm able as he delivered the above from Louisiana this AM and, based on his guar-un-damn-tee recently, I'm going to sip this one tonight and expect the best IIPA I've ever tasted.

PS-Even if it's "only" mid cat 3, it'll still be a great beer.

Untappd seems to think so:
