[dythuger]

Tried to make pit stop #3 at 3floyds for dinner. Drove past and the line was 30 deep. Oh well.

[guster14]

I just wish Grand Rapids wasn't so damn far away. Great Lakes does some great beers, but they are not on the same level as Founders.

[guster14]

Should I just start an ISO thread now.......

Thans Mike. Unfortunately, the stuff that I would want would most likely consist of you having to show up early and camping out like we used to have to do for concert tickets back in the day. Not going to ask anyone to do that for me.

Thanks Indiana
Would have had some Hopslam to throw in as well, but they sold bottles about an hour before I got to the store. They did give me a few samples of some new stuff but don't remember the name, nice guys.

[dythuger]

Dragons milk is so delicious.

[dan3279]

Good day today, I got a fresh growler of Founders Breakfast Stout at work today! Then my Aunt in Vermont found me a four pack of Heady Topper!

[Bluee2]

Dragons milk is so delicious.

I may get killed but I didn't really care for it. Maybe it was the situation, or a long day traveling but I probably won't have it again. Not my thing I guess.

[dythuger]

Ya. You have to like the style and enjoy some heat to a beer. It's a strong one. Had founders imperial stout for the first time the other day. Another good imperial.

[guster14]

Think we could make it there and back in day?

I think it would have to be an overnighter, just for the fact that we'd have to get to Founders early that morn to get in line. That being said, I do have a friend who lives in GR that we could probably crash at his house the night before..................


Rogue maple bacon was gross

That was just an awful beer. Big let down. At least now I've got a couple of extra bottles to give to people who I don't like to try. Could make an experiment out of it. Talk about how much I like it and what an awesome beer it is and see what their reaction is.

[zachjgmeiner]

The new Dig by New Belgium is pretty good.

Also have a Bierre de Mars, Cocoa Mole, La Folie (2 years old) bomber, and original La Folie corked (about 4 years old) sitting in the fridge.

Just picked up 2 cases of Zombie Dust on my extra-long lunch hour. Only like a 45 minute drive from my work. This might just be my new 3F strategy. Go on lunch, grab a beer, grab some brews to go and back to work :)

Sounds like a good strategy. Wish we could actually get good distribution of 3F's here in Ohio. I've only ever seen Behemoth near me. One of these days I'll be able to try Zombie Dust, Alpha King, and Gumball Head....

If distribution of ZD continues to be as weak as it has been and they keep selling it at the brewery, I have no prob going and grabbing a bunch of cases on lunch for DPers. As far as Gumballhead and Alpha King go, if you want me to ship you some, PM me. There's a little liquor store by me that always seems to have their regular stuff available whenever I stop in. I stopped by this weekend and they had Pride & Joy, Alpha King, and even some Jinxproof left.

But yeah, Zombie Dust is amazing. Had one before I got on the road, friggin delicious.

I was in Kent last weekend and saw some up there. They had a nice selection, but my hands were already full with other stuff. Maybe this weekend I'll try some.

I think the lack of distribution has to
Do with the scarcity of the special hops that brew takes. Hopefully distribution will improve over the summer.

Me want Zombie Dust! Never tried it!!!

We get a case of each a week: robert the bruce, gumball head, alpha king, pride and joy, and jinxproof....nearly all of it sells within the day. People have been really going ape shit for GH lately... We also have cases of bombers of Dread and Panzer... Still waiting to see Bohemoth...I hope we get some.

I'm down to 5 zombies. Whenever our schedules align again I will bring at least a bottle for you.

[kylep3]

weird, i just heard about the brewery that makes zombie dust and so on and was very interested, i then went on a mad online search to try and find ZD or others from the brewery to try and get some here in Philly to no avail. A few bars by me get Russian River beers (Pliny Elder and Younger, Damnation, etc.) but I have never seen this Three Floyds. If anyone wants to help me out with a couple bottles, variety, hell anything I would appreciate it.

Also as a contribution to this thread, I'm really enjoying Cisco Brewers out of Nantucket right now (if not just for the labels) as well as The Bruery out of Orange County, CA, recently had 4 Calling Birds, excellent.

I never had Pliny the elder and I heard its tasty! I have pretty good access to 3F and I'm only like 45 min from the brewery.... if you're interested in doing a trade, PM me!

[dythuger]

I didn't think they distributed bottles of Russian river west of CO. That's awesome of Philly has it.

[kylep3]

just had Damnation on Sunday at Manayunk tavern out of a bottle (granted it was 8.50)! Generally Pliny the Elder and Younger I've only seen on tap and at a select few bars, Union Jacks Manayunk and Grey Lodge, for those that are from the area. Philly's craft brew scene is great, we have some great bars and distributors that get a good amount of West Coast brews into the area. About 3 years ago I had my first Pliny the Elder out of the tap, my local bartender (at Union Jacks) let me know when it was coming in.. At that time they had been on a waiting list to receive the keg for months and only 2/3 kegs came into Philly in that shipment and they wouldn't be getting another for at least six months. No idea what distribution is like now but I just thought that was crazy back then.

DMBNirvana - If I can spot some bottles I will definitely PM you. PA alcohol laws suck for the most part, in that you can only buy cases at distributors and six packs at most bars (which are marked up crazy - $15 for Miller Lite).

Cool. I have a Pliny, flying pig, damnation, supplication, and one more -cation beer in the fridge waiting for the Super Bowl. Looking forward to them all.

That flying pig is one I have never seen here or tried, I'm sure its awesome, one of my favorite breweries. And I am definitely jealous of your fridge right now.

And speaking of 3floyds. Here is one years worth of bombers from them. Pretty impressive for a small brewery. Not to mention the 20-40 that never make it past draft at the brewpub.

I'll be on the ball for Dark Lord tix though.

That stinks Kurt. I figured I would have some time. Oh well.

And nirvana. Hopefully we get some info soon on dld.

Im thinking iIf we get a group of people for dld we can have a party Friday at my house and then wake up and make the 2.5 mile trek to the brewery.

[dythuger]

My buddy has been bugging me for the last bottle of pliney I had. I felt like being a nice guy and told him to bring over something I would like. He brought over boogoop. The mikeller +3floyds collab. I don't know how the distribution for his this is working. I haven't seen at any liquor store and the brewery doesnt have it on their list last I checked. But now that I gave up my last pliney, I'm sure it will be all over the place.

A not so funny story about this beer, phishdmb and I went to hopleaf to get some but it turned out they were tapping the keg the next day :bang. I got his holes up just for them to be crushed moments later. That one was 100% on me and I still feel bad about it. So hopefully I can find a bottle for him somewhere.

There are only 33 reviews on BA and they are pretty recent, so maybe it's on it's way to stores.

Fixed. I think its only one dude from Denmark that basically contracts brews at other breweries and also does alot of collaboration with said breweries. He does have his own stuff though.

Haha, that was funny last week. For a minute I briefly considered changing my flight so I could stay for it. Im not mad at all though, that bar was awesome. I did have that one 3f that even you had never seen before, so it wasnt a total wash. Worstpart was the giants fan sitting next to us, haha. Nice enough guy though.

That being said, if you can dig one of those up for me, I wont be mad.

Still need to try this. They were ranked quite highly on that top100 list which is obviously subjective, but there on there for a reason for sure. I am Into stouts, imperial stouts, and double ipa's.

Couldnt edit this, but after some quick research, sounds like trading (shipping to PA) is fine, its the wineries and brewerys that are not supposed to ship directly. just FYI for any fellow PA'ers

[mcwyffe]

To those of you who asked, beer has been purchased. 3 boogoop, apparently wiscon as a whole got 20 sixers of the bombers. So I think we did pretty good.

All right party people. With the medical fun time I am having... and the diet for the weightloss challenge at work, I need to unload some beer on someone who can enjoy it! Since it wouldn't be a trade... all I am asking is you to pay for shipping. I have:
1 Capital Brewery (Madison, WI) ~ Winter Skal
1 New Glarus (New Glarus, WI) ~ Chocolate Abbey
1 Point (Steven's Point, WI) ~ St. Benedict's Winter Ale
2 Lake Front Brewery (Milwaukee, WI) ~ Holiday Spice
1 Tyranena Brewery (Lake Mills, WI) ~ Bitter Woman IPA
1 Sand Creek (Black River Falls, WI) ~ Cranberry Special Ale
1 Hinterland (Green Bay, WI) ~ Winter Land
3 Great Lakes Brewing ~ Christmas Ale

i gotta find some. havent had any yet. robert johnson being a musician i highly enjoy and dogfish one of the breweries that i really enjoy i feel i should have some. just got back from a bar with the only barrel of hopslam in philly, stayed till it was gone, that stuff is so good. also had sierra nevada ruthless rye and bavarian barbarian winter ale. both pretty good.

[zefarrett]

just picked me up a 6 of goose island honker's ale. not too shabby! but I've only had one sip...

[edhaze]

Finally checking out Golden Road brewery in LA. Opened a few weeks ago. Pretty cool place to eat and chill. Gotta try the tequila barrel aged Hefeweizen. El Hefe Anejo.

[dmbforever]

So I picked up my dad today and told him we were going to stop by this liquor store (consumer beverages) that was on our way home. Pleasantly surprised, they had 3Floyds. Picked up some Gumball head and Alpha King. They had a couple other flavors there. Looks like I can finally get some in my neck of the woods. Enjoying a gumball as I'm typing.

Kirin Ichiban is a japanese beer, hence the sumo wrestler. I prefer Asahi though.

Local pub had Bells Special Double Cream Stout on tap this weekend, had a few before the big game. They were excellent. Bells can do no wrong for me right now.

sounds grand! i need to take notes on the ones i really like haha. flying dog has so many beers and I'm always like well i don't know which i like a lot so ill just get this dogfish instead. this is a sales pitch he's putting on!

[DMBdolphan]

great thing is when the tour is done, we head to the tasting room....Nitro blend is BEAST!!!!!!!! :drool they pick ANY of the many types they have and run it through 100% nitros......makes a great beer into a HEAVENLY beer

[zefarrett]

i have zero idea what that means lol. i just googled it, something to do with giving a beer some good head? (laugh it up guys!)
Also i think food may have to be after just because I'm done at 330 and it will take like an hour to get down there and i may have to swing my to pick my friend up. are there any good places to eat that aren't too expensive down there?
edit- now that i think of it, some early food may be a possibility as long as we aren't late

Kenny had wonderful things to say about 2011. I quote his text
"This beer tastes like Mr. Clean pissed in a bottle."
"Put some fruity pebbles and a cigar butt into your mouth and drink your pee - that's what this tastes like"

I got some yuks outta that text.
I'm aging two bottles, hopefully the pee taste will be less noticeable.

HUGE thanks to dmbdolphan for a crazy time at the flying dog brewery! They had their kujo coffee on nitro and it was the most incredible thing I've had. It was like a beer milkshake! And the factory was really cool. I 100% want to go back and just drink their tap beer again haha. Ill post a few pictures later.

Anytime bro, wish you and Adam could have had more time to hit up the bars and spots in Frederick, but to quote Meatloaf, "Two outta Three ain't bad" :lmao
It's nice to go somewhere and get the celebrity treatment :nod

[dmbcaptain]

If I was to splurge on ebay for either Hopslam or Zombie Dust, which should I try 1st?

[dythuger]

While I would personally say I like zombie better. Hopslam is seasonal, so I would go After that one. Plus it's a stronger beer. So if be getting more for your $.

Hopefully someone on here can help you out though.

Found out last night that Flying Dog's Raging Bitch is a) illegal in Michigan :lol and b) because of its high demand and small brewing area, will only be available in Maryland soon......snatch up as much as you can.....or we'll set up a trade at some point in the near future :nod

[DMBdolphan]

good eh? droool...i couldnt spring on the $15 for kujo without knowing its decent...

Kujo was nice, but Jarrett is right, the Nitro Kujo was very nice. Then again, as I said before, ANYTHING on that Nitro tap is the tits :drool TOTALLY brings out special characteristics of any beer they put on that tap. Night before our tour they had Double Dog on it.

I wonder why they are stopping distribution of it? Was always pretty easy to come by in PA and NJ, in fact just emptied a couple bottles that were in my fridge a few days ago....I didn't know it was that sought after. Which leads to the question are more breweries going to limit distribution to drive hype, cause that sucks.

[mcwyffe]

This place has been dead lately, so let's discuss something that everyone loves. What is your favorite brewery, favorite type, favorite beer? Rave about the ones you love, warn us about the ones you hate.

I just picked up a pack of Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA. I've heard great things about Dogfish Head, and even better things about the 90 minute, so I decided to spend the $9.99 on the 4-pack. Haven't tried it, but will later this week.

first post in this thread. still an awesome post. thank you boarder.

[usfice6]

very excited.

Was there a regular Jai Lai IPA in there? I didn't even notice when I was packing them up, some shady bastard must have swapped one out of the 4 pack. Well, at least you get to compare the regular vs the White Oak now :)

[guster14]

I thought the bottles looked a little diff. How does the White Oak compare to the reg Jai Lai?

yea i tried kujo on nitro and the normal one. the nitro one was so much better. i wore my flying dog tshirt yesterday and felt so awesome haha. id love to go back again soon and not even do the tour. just the drinking part lol

What's everyone paying for hopslam? It was 20 for a sixer here, seemed a bit high to me.

14.99 here. Still thought it was high

I think $15 is good. Thought Dan said it was $18 at his Heinen's in Cleveland.

Worth it IMO. Just finishing a Southern Tier 2xIPA after 2 Hopslams, poor thing doesn't even compare and it's a good beer in its own right.

I don't think so, I think they're just in a really big phase of trying out new brews, and giving the guys that work there total freedom....hell, that's how Raging Bitch became, they had an inner office contest to come up with a kickass beer for the anniversary, and it ended up selling better than ALL of their beers previous to it. Jim is just trying to get some creativity from his boys, and after this last tour I'm a BIGGER Fan now.

$20 seems a tad high. From the brewery it costs $18.10 with the bottle deposit and tax.

just got back from Whole Foods, I was surprised to see Boogoop there, got three bottles and a bottle of Maine Brewing Company IPA. Yesterday in Jersey got a six pack of Great Divide Rumble, a Rogue Shakespeare Oatmeal Stout, Lagunitas Dopple Weizen, and for the lady some Wells Banana Bread beer...which is surprisingly very very good. Should be a good week!

I ran into my buddy Vince at the grocery store today (he was the one who made the recipe for Black Lager with Cherries), he's having a baby tomorrow and will be off for 2 weeks, but he'll do a "private tour" for us, so that we can just drink in the tap room, otherwise we have to do the whole tour again in order to drink that beautiful nectar.

That black cherry lager was awesome. I think any option that ends with us drinking that beer again sounds perfect haha. And the tour was fun and I imagine being better if we got another beer in before it. Also it would be interesting to try a new beer and see its start to end progression. It's so awesome that you have brewery connections.

I of course bought it. and gave into the bud light platinum. Doesnt taste exactly like bud light...but you can certainly feel the higher ABV...id buy it again

I went, wasnt too bad for tix, but people were bitching like it was the hardest thing to do. They were 10 for a ticket which alotted you 3 bottles. So basically 3 bottles cost you $55.


Any other DPers going to this? DP tailgate & brew exchange anyone?

I am going to go, and would like to set up a party/beer tasting place at my house the night before if there is any interest and we get a group together. I live less than 3 miles from the brewery and have two extra bedrooms and a shitton of couch and floor space.

Speaking of fff, i would love to have this glass/poster thingy in my house.

[mcwyffe]

i would love a dark lord. looks awesome. i might be interested in going.

I love it.
I'm in Fla and stumbled upon World of Beers. Only because it was next store to a Grimaldi's pizza. Last night I did a small pizza, Tonight a Calzone is on the menu. All that and this

I could only hope it's 6.8 pounds.

Seriously I need to take a break when I get home. As I type that I wonder how to ship home the stuff I found at Total wine today. This caught my eye.

It might be worth asking them about that pic up top. I've seen one at 2 different bars here in Indy (didn't look close, I thought it was just paper). So they may have some somewhere. It might be through a distributor so if you have any connections that could be worth looking into as well?

Darklord day sounds awesome and I'd love to try that stuff but it kind of sounds like a cluster F????

[kylep3]

so i go to drink one of my Great Divide - Rumble bottles and come to find the bottled on date is July 6 2011 as well as a good amount of yeast/sediment at the bottom of the bottle. I know yeast is normal for some brews and aging only exacerbates that, but just wanted to get a consensus here.

[DMBdolphan]

That black cherry lager was awesome. I think any option that ends with us drinking that beer again sounds perfect haha. And the tour was fun and I imagine being better if we got another beer in before it. Also it would be interesting to try a new beer and see its start to end progression. It's so awesome that you have brewery connections.

Not the only connections I have in this town.

What did you think of Total Wine? What kind of goodies did you snag?

All I bought was some CC Jose Marti
porter. I head back Friday so I'll most likely buy a few bottles and bubble wrap in my suitcase. There is a total wine about 20 miles from me back home. I've got to go check out what they have. I was impressed with how massive the place is. They had cases of Ballast Point victory at sea, from San Diego. The liquor store I go to limits that stuff to 2 per person. Funny that it's so available here.

How long are you in FL for?

[edhaze]

Until Friday

[zefarrett]

If anyone has thought about trying some flying dog, this weekend i picked up some hefeweizen, raging bitch, and gonzo. All awesome. The gonzo and raging are sure to get you feeling good inside. All their beer is awesome. And its not that expensive.

They did (maybe still do) sell lithographs of it. But the one above their taps is just awesome.

And yes dld is quite the cluster fuck. I plan on getting there early this year. Also, no coolers will help because people bring six foot Coolers and lawn chairs and take up all the space. I waited almost two hours to get in another 45 to get my bottles. Had A couple of beers and tried getting into The guest beer line that was just a massive spiral. This guy on the inner circle said he had been in line for an hour, I said fuck it and went to beer bar called beer geeks and drank kbs and hopping frog the rest of the afternoon. Turned out to
Be a fun one


And out of all the beers I tried this weekend this was by far the most interesting. A neopolitan ice creak milk stout. And it tastes like it was described. Wouldnt try drinking a six pack at once, but it was a good desert beer.

[Bluee2]

Sorry Ed, I think they stole your money on that hazed and infuzed. I hope you like it but I thought it was terrrrible.


CJ, way to add a bud light to that mix of quality, you must have wanted some water after all that beer :lmao

[dythuger]

And bud light platinum. I had a swig of the platinum. Couldn't bring myself to drink a bud light with all the good beer we had around.

[mcwyffe]

Just picked up founders better half.

[DMBTattoo]

CJ, that looks like a tasty amount of lbs you put on hahahaha!

Def gonna try for Dark Lord Day... what was the limit on # of tix you could buy?

[dythuger]

Just picked up founders better half.

Really? Nice score. I hope I get lucky on my way home. I forgot
About that release.

[usfice6]

Until Friday

Damn, if you were here this weekend I'd say come up to Tampa and let's hit Cigar City Brewery and a couple of other spots.

[dythuger]

I wanna say 4. I went for 2 last year. Hopefully they sell some at the brewery like they did for
The xv party. That was so easy to get.

[DMBTattoo]

good to know

[dythuger]

And thinking back, the allotment was 4 bottles. Which cost $70 ($10 for the ticket and $60 for the beer ($15 x 4).

[DMBTattoo]

nice. and Bud Light Platinum is a decent cheap session beer. The ABV def makes a difference and its a good bring to a party to play drinking games beer.

[mcwyffe]

The bottles are bombers right?

[dythuger]

Yes.

[DMBTattoo]

klots of people on right now at lunch eh?

[saxlover]

stalking you

[DMBTattoo]

me? nice.

I'm itching to get back to the family. I'm just here to take care of some family bussiness. Luckily World of Beers is just around the corner.

[guster14]

Just picked up founders better half.

Damn! You've got yourself a nice beer store by you. I'm hoping my grocery gets some but think it's a long shot.

My guy at hyvee sent me an email this morning saying they got a few bottles. He put one behind the counter for me.

It is a neat pic if you are a FFF fan! Thanks for the info on DL day, would be a pretty neat thing to see. Not sure the chances of getting tix though.


Just picked up founders better half.

Talked to my beer guy today, they get shipment Friday, still not sure how much they are getting but they had a pretty long list :(

[edhaze]

One good
Thing about my trip
http://img.tapatalk.com/c6e4e9e5-328f-c2b9.jpg

[Bluee2]

Had a bomber of Hop Juice DIPA last night. A little sweeter than I expected, but went down really smooth considering the alcohol %.
Gonna admit, I might have been a little buzzed afterward.

[DMBTattoo]

I always say hop slam like the kid said ass hole in one of the meet the parents movies....Hop...Slam...

The wife's cousin just picked up a 4 pack of this for me up in Mich. I'm looking forward to trying it in a few weeks.

[DMBNirvana]

Binny's by us had 3 Founders I had never seen before: Double Trouble, Imperial Stout & All day IPA. I grabbed the imperial stout... I've been digging the stouts lately. Didn't see the Better Half there. They still had bombers of 3F Black Sun Stout and some Jinxproof too. I also grabbed one bottle of Dragon's Milk.

That Neapolitan sounds tasty.

Nice. And if u got some more money to spend have him pick up some beers by shorts. It's becoming one of my favorite breweries very quickly. Some of my faves by them are the liberator, huma lupa licious, and pandemonium. But I havent had a bad one yet. Be warned though they are intensely hoppy.

Double trouble is a great seasonal Double ipa, i think its on par with hopslam. The all day ipa is the new year roun beer they introduced. I believe it is quite weak, but I'll pick some up toTry out when I see it. I've had the imperial stout twice. I really dig it. Along with that dragons milk.


Sounds like u had a nice haul.

Interesting. I'll have to have her check it out for me. The Raisin Apollo sounds different.

[DMBNirvana]

For Chicago area friends: If you want a bar with a phenomenal beer selection but don't feel like driving all the way downtown, Durty Nellie's is absolutely awesome. Its in Palatine and I used to play open mic nights there all the time. They have great food and an absolutely amazing beer list. Plenty of amazing selections but I noticed: a 3 Floyds I have never even heard of called Aotearoa and Goose Island Bourbon County Bramble Rye.

Beer list: http://www.durtynellies.com/beer.asp

[dythuger]

I'll have to check that out when I get home. And free Chicago-area people that want to try Bourbon County coffee on draf as well as vanilla on draft and some other barrel aged stuff on Friday check out the link below.

Better half is selling for a ridiculous amount.

[dythuger]

My guy started a list for it apparently. All gone. I am
Happy I have a CBS. But would love to keep the series going.
