80' double sided painted curb inside of a brewery.

These are good. Only in Wisconsin for now though.

found a bar last night that has Tilquin Gueze on tap along with a variety of Cantillon bottles on reserve (cheapest being like 32 dollars for 750 mL)

nice. tilquin might be my favorite gueuze, even over cantillon classic. $32 is steep, but i'd pay it for rose de gambrinus, iris or fou foune. had a really good sour on nye, cisco monomoy kriek from nantucket. expensive, but really well done.

Got that strictly for the bottle, and then I lost the bottle. Oh beer

I haven't drank a beer in over 3 years, but when I did, I always enjoyed free ones the best.

got an EKU 28 in a mystery six pack last night. Holy Malt levels batman! 11% too

realitycontrol · « **Reply #762 on:** January 07, 2013, 03:41:56 AM »

so this happened the other night...

floop · « **Reply #763 on:** January 07, 2013, 09:56:44 AM »

^ how was it? i've got 2 bottles. 1 i'm going to age a year (at least) and one i'm getting ready to drink. definitely going to need to share it with a friend though. as much as i can drink, i don't think i want to try man handling a whole bottle of that myself [edit] referring to the Black Tuesday

realitycontrol · « **Reply #764 on:** January 09, 2013, 12:22:27 AM »

dude it's amazing, you'll love it. at ~18% abv it's dangerously smooth. i've tasted 10% beers that have had more of an alcohol burn than this one. good call on cellaring a bottle, i'm not sure i could be that patient. and dont be that scared to take a bottle to the dome, i've definitely done it before...just takes a couple hours.

also, it looks like the bruery closed down their provisions shop in old town orange. bummed.

realitycontrol · « **Reply #765 on:** January 09, 2013, 12:36:36 AM »

and some "best of 2012" lists are out:

one east coast (Philadelphia )

and one west coast (San Diego)

pancake man · « **Reply #766 on:** January 13, 2013, 03:16:19 PM »

Just finished up my second home brew, now we play the waiting game. Did partial grain, I hope I haven't messed anything up! Will report back when everything is said and done

max power · « **Reply #767 on:** January 17, 2013, 08:09:25 PM »

love this beer. so much.

just got done this weekend brewing a clone of this beer:

really miss it, and it won't likely ever be available here so why not? we used extracts, because i don't have the setup for grain. apparently the recipe is pretty dead on.

Never had it before the other day. Real good.

tangar · « **Reply #769 on:** January 18, 2013, 01:08:08 AM »

it's not bad. you really should try their stouts, if you like stouts. the Black's Noctourne is fucking incredible

checked out their brewery a few months ago, which is not far from Etnies Skatepark. nice little tasting room. cool dudes working there. recommendy

RCB3 · « **Reply #771 on:** January 18, 2013, 02:36:59 PM »

There's a lot of hype around this beer and it fully lived up to it. My hands down favorite IPA. It's difficult to get though.

Cadillac Ranch Dressing · « **Reply #772 on:** January 22, 2013, 05:02:58 PM »

Flying Dog's Gonzo Imperial Porter

North Coast Brewing Company's Brother Thelonious Belgian Style Abbey Ale

Floop, you're killing it. Out of curiosity, how much coin do you drop on choice beverages in a given month?
