notnomura;dr

[mdleast 8521]

Like that we are getting more and more El Segundo beers here now.

[Al_4_ISU 12623]

Best IPA I’ve had this year.

Looks great.

Home brewed take on Spotted Cow

[Al_4_ISU 12623]

Backpocket IMO

[Incredulity 11876]

Count Dracula in the background 

[HenryJames 67367]

Nomura, imo.

 

[MoJames 8258]

Had a couple on Saturday.  Always a welcome signifier of the season.

[HenryJames 67367]

Saison Dupont, imo.

 

[Okie State 3889]

Always solid.

Still not a single fucking sixer at any of my usual stops. There's usually stacks of it at HEB. This is some bullshit.

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19305]

Saison Dupont, imo.
 

Jealous. They were out last time I tried to find it.

How was this version of Nomura? It was ass last time. They've progressively made it worse the past couple of iterations and I was hoping they go their mojo back.

[HenryJames 67367]

It was good, but this was the first time I’ve had it. More bitter than I normally like though. What was wrong with the last one?

For the first few releases, it was truly an Imperial Electric Jellyfish but with more alcohol, grapefruit notes and milkshake hazy.   The last release was closer to an average homebrewd West Coast IPA. It probably shouldn't have been released under the Nomura name.

[CooterBrown 18288]

PHP Burnet just released a few remaining 4 packs of Nomura so I just grabbed a couple.

[Okie State 3889]

Total Wine had a single sixer hiding out in the fridge.

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19305]

This was good.

[HenryJames 67367]

We’re going to do a gofundme to get you a proper glass.

I like those mugs.

[HenryJames 67367]

Electric Jellyfish, imo.

 

[Macanudo 13327]

Any thoughts on Independence's Southern Hemi?   Grabbed a 20 oz can at my local stop and really liked it.   Doubt I'll find anymore around here though.

[HenryJames 67367]

Can’t remember the last beer I had from them. Was it a hazy?

[Okie State 3889]

No more work for the rest of the year...except I'm about to log back in...

Keep seeing this at my local HEB as single.  But I just can't justify $8.00 for a single.

I did one of this and one of the Cognac just to try.

Went shopping

 

Started with the Stone, not bad, but I'm certainly not drinking more than one in an evening.

[Al_4_ISU 12623]

Mosaic dry hopped Psuedo Sue. Direct from the source.

[HenryJames 67367]

Celis, imo.

 

[CooterBrown 18288]

[HenryJames 67367]

[Fondren & Main 6901]

Mocha Noir, imo. 

[HenryJames 67367]

Old Trehugger, imo.

 

[mdleast 8521]

Damn. 3 Floyds is closing its brewpub. Still brewing beer though.

This may be my new favorite brewery.

Every single beer I’ve had from them has been a home run.

[HenryJames 67367]

Better than Martin House?

[Blotto 24021]

Been at my sisters place in Boston for the last 4 weeks so lots of different beers to try. Stumbled across this shit tonight at the neighborhood grocery.....pretty fucking good. Singlecut Brewsmiths is the brewery.

 

[Al_4_ISU 12623]

Better than it has any right to be

[mdleast 8521]

Another tasty beer from my local (Dallas) and just up the street from me neighborhood brewery Vector Brewing: their triple IPA Pain Rain



Also, though I’ve had numerous beers from them since they opened earlier this year, this was the first time I’ve had their pizza. Not only a very tasty pizza but bonus points for working it a strange Golden Girls reference into it:

Get some Trillium.

this makes zero sense to me unless there happens to be a severe shortage of restaurant space in munster, indiana. if they own the real estate, its impossible to make sense of. if they lease, there has to be someone willing to pay to take over that is a better bet to succeed than an absolute 100% fail-proof concept (on the other side of covid). just don’t get it.

ironic they use the word “trademark” to describe their own product

Didn't they start construction on that massive expansion? I can only assume it would be temporary as that place was always packed with a wait. 

[HenryJames 67367]

Hi-C, imo.

EPIC Chasing Ghosts, double NEIPA

[Hornius Emeritus 12804]

Holy moly. Not usually a fan of flavored beers but this German Chocolate Cake Stout from Independence is rocking my world.

 

[The Ace of Aces 5377]

No cloak room intended ...
