Making hard cider is even easier than brewing beer.

I was just going to type that.
CIDER + CHAMPAGNE YEAST + TIME = HARD CIDER
DO ITTTTT you will look cool

If you would just do it, then we wouldn't have to pressure you.

Hell, you don't even need to add yeast if you press the apples yourself. Just make sure you aerate to give the critters something to survive on

Also let it be known that when you make your own cider it won't be sweet like commercial varieties, it will be more tart/ tannic, which is the style I prefer, but I know some people don't

yup, cider is super easy to make. a couple years ago a buddy made cider with crab apples and it was amazing.

went to Rare Barrel on V-day and picked up two different bottles, went back today and got another. also got some for this dude down south i traded before. hes supposed to get me some more good stuff from the anaheim area. tax season is nice.

also had Hop Soup from Faction today and it was super good, and my boy picked me up one of these for my bday

This shit is awesome.

I was pleasantly surprised with Hop Hunter. Hopefully they put it into a more concrete rotation.

Yeah it's going to be a year rounder.

Just smashed my Certified Cicerone test yesterday. Results in 6 weeks. Afterwards went to Magnolia in the dogpatch then a few other spots.

pancake man · « **Reply #2622 on:** March 11, 2015, 11:35:31 AM »

Congrats on completely the test! Did you take the entry level or go into some of the higher levels?

floop · « **Reply #2623 on:** March 11, 2015, 02:10:18 PM »

i'd like to become a cicerone, just so i can be more of an asshole

Whoa missed out on a lot in this thread. Weyerbacher is definitely the shit. Try mixing the imperial pumpkin with old heathen. New levels of awesome. GF sculpin and habanero sculpin hit NJ not too long ago and in the first week in monmouthy county the assholes at the store thought it was a specialty release( didnt know they would be getting delivered year round) so they broke up the 6pks and did a one bottle limit and were charging $5.99 a bottle. It was outrageous and I refused to pay and waited a week until they got that shit straightened out. Had Neshaminys blitzkrieg hops and that is an amazing dipa and i recommend it very much.

Floop- As for my SF trip im definitely going to go to Russian river, 21st amendment, triple voodoo, and steelhead. Any other spots or breweries you recommend?

the tour guide loves bringing up how much weed the founder smokes.

for me, brewery tours all pretty much run together at this point, unless they are doing something interesting like all wilds or using coolships.

prancake man, try visit cellarmaker and the rare barrel. drakes and faction are good too. sante adairius is awesome, but it's in capitola. they always have one or two of their beers at the rare barrel, though. there's a few bars in the city that are definitely worth a visit, too. toronado, zeitgeist, etc. shit there's so many things.

congrats on the ciceroneship matt. i have to make the trip up there sometime.

floop · « **Reply #2627 on:** March 11, 2015, 08:26:18 PM »

if you're going up to RR Lagunitas is worth a stop over. their brewpub / beer garden has a good vibe. i did the tour too and it was fun, though i don't remember pours on the tour, i remember you could bring a pint with you

whatever you do don't drive up to Racer 5. it's not worth the drive

go to SARA, so i can live vicariously through you

curious if anyone here has used mybeercellar

i don't think i'd ever buy anything off there but i recently started selling a few things, just to test the waters. mainly because i simply have too much beer. i know that sounds like a good problem, but i've decided to start slimming down the collection. especially on bottles 2 years or older, and ones i have multiples of.

i'm pretty amazed at what people are willing to pay. I'm actually making money on beer. i'm sure it's illegal. and not in keeping with the ethos of craft beer. but what are you going to do? i need to make room for new beer

pancake man · « **Reply #2635 on:** March 15, 2015, 11:44:03 AM »

I'm sure you're following the thread on TB for mybeercellar, but if you're making money off of someone who desperately wants a beer it would be un-American of you to not take advantage

brycickle · « **Reply #2636 on:** March 15, 2015, 05:23:11 PM »

I'm going to Denver next month to see Sleep. I'm really looking forward to hitting up Avery, Crooked Stave, and Trve.

i don't go on talk beer as much. i should though, since the beer advocate dudes are fucking douchebags. i'm always drawn back to that though

i started a skateboarding thread on TB.

tangar · « **Reply #2638 on:** March 15, 2015, 11:49:31 PM »

my haul from so-cal, some of it was from a trade. others i just picked up down there. just drank the growler from Bottle Logic, it was L-Theory and was really tasty, really light too at only 4.8%. some of them i got multiples. STOKED!
