Lol.  Knew that was coming.  He can hit up New Belgium instead?!?!    Fly all the we to Asheville and drink the same stuff you can get at your local beer store.

I know Wicked Weed is owned by the big guys, but it’s still pretty rare and the only time I had anything from there it slammed

[mdleast 8288]

The Wicked Weed shade reminds me of the wall of shade found at Libertine Brewing in Morro Bay, California:



RIP Wicked Weed

[Al_4_ISU 12409]

I would predict Toppling Goliath joins that wall by 2025.

Of all those breweries, the only that I’ve tried that really sucks now is Ballast Point.

[mdleast 8288]

Yeah it was really disappointing to see what happened to Ballast Point’s quality

Some of them always sucked.

My favorite beers are moving from bottles to cans. There have been some great new microbrews that are good on tap but I’ve never seen them for sale in bottles. Rhinegeist Truth IPA out of Cincinnati is the best example I know. But I can’t find Great Lakes Commodore Perry IPA in bottles anymore. And it’s harder to find Belll’s Two Hearted Ale in bottles anymore. I’ve considered that maybe I was overreacting and tried the cans again but there’s definitely a difference between bottles and cans. I won’t drink beer out of a can. And I’ve heard there’s an aluminum can shortage. And all the beaches and deserts in the world tell us that we’ll never run out of glass.

I really used to like my Commodore Perry. Great (Lakes) IPA that wasn’t fruity at all. It was pretty unique in the IPA world. But I will NOT buy it in a can.

I've never had a Widmer beer I thought was worth a shit, I suppose.  I didn't see the little ones down in the left hand corner when looking on my phone.  Plenty of "meh" in there.

Enjoying some beautiful weather with some Mirror Mirror. No pint glasses in the whole damn house.

[Al_4_ISU 12409]

Apparently I’ve hit some bullshit Tapa upload limit, but I’m drinking a Viva Zoda Czech Pils from Lion Bridge in Cedar Rapids out of a can and it fucking slams.

Czech Pilz is best pilz.  It is known.

How many different TG beers are you guys getting?

[mdleast 8288]

Just Pseudo Sue, King Sue and Pompeii here in Dallas.

[HenryJames 65919]

Just saw King and Pompeii at the place I went.

[HenryJames 65919]

And the canned date was like 5/13 so apparently they walked it down here.

[956 Worldwide 34515]

Czech Budweiser (Budvar) Krouzek. Sometimes you just need a gold later. Or five.

went to colorado to buy oregon beer?

[Okie State 3789]

Well...no. Bought plenty of Colorado beer, and California beer, and I think one was from Wyoming. While on vacation I buy beer I can't get at home.

This is my vacation rule. Going to Monterey/Carmel/Big Sur this weekend and the “no beers I can get at home rule” will be strictly enforced.

[HenryJames 65919]

Same, especially draft.

[utee94 15747]

Same here as well.  Sampling the local beers is one of the best parts of any vacation.

They have a citra-hopped lager that slams.

[Al_4_ISU 12409]

Also in the "no home beer when traveling" camp.

It annoyed me a bit to see all the ISU people celebrating Busch Light when we went to the Alamo Bowl.  Now, for some of those marathon drunks that weekend I wasn't going to ride craft beer all day, but for fuck's sake, chug a few Lone Stars.  When in Rome...

Falling Rock taphouse. 

My favorite CO breweries are outside of Denver.  If you're mobile and someone's willing to be soberish, go up to Fort Collins and hit O'Dell and Funkwerks.  I enjoyed stopping at Left Hand in Longmont a lot, too.

There are so many fucking breweries within an hour of you that it's almost impossible to keep up.  My big CO beer trip was 10 years ago and a lot of shit has changed.
