Threes Helles was easily the best thing I drank all weekend. The diversity of their lineup and overall quality of every beer was outstanding. Extremely good.

Threes does indeed gently caress; when we were in Brooklyn a few years ago we visited there and they had just happened to have a wedding on the back patio and a New Orleans jazz band was parading through the place in celebration. We asked the bartender in bewilderment and learned that no, that doesn't happen all the time. The beer ruled too. Monday Night Brewing down here in Atlanta just put out a really impressive Saphir dry-hopped foeder pils, and my fiance and I have decided that that's where we'll be getting married next fall. These two facts are unrelated, or so I tell her.

Eighth State up in Greenville is reportedly releasing a stout made with caviar among other additions. I'm morbidly curious.

I've had a few stouts made with oysters and stone crab, and theyre just slightly saltier with a bit more of that umami flavor. It's not like your chugging down bilgewater as it's kinda subtle. However, with 2019 beer trends that may end up tasting like you're sucking off a sturgeon.

So it appears West Lakeview Liquors is dead. I don't think there's a more historically important bottle shop in the Midwest.

We were like, "Uh, don't think so why?" The stout was made with oyster something. It was pretty good. Salty but not overwhelmingly salty. Def umami flavor.

funkybottoms posted:did Lincoln stand in line for BCBS variants there or something Boom. In the last few years there's been a lot of backlash against the owner over a bunch of petty poo poo (I saw her be "accused" of caring more about mezcal than beer; assholes were super salty about their non-announcement on Zwanse Day) and they definitely didn't keep up with the times. But they were doing the beer (and bourbon) thing well before it was cool. I kinda hope they retired on all the money they made from neckbeards. That said, it is insane that they're just letting their liquor license die. Those things are hard as gently caress to get in the city and that alone seems like a reason to at least sell the business...

The first Bells Leaves of Grass beer is goddamn amazing. An all-German ingredient pale ale, it comes off like a extra hoppy, extra dry pilsner. I'd swear this would have used lager yeast. It is perfectly balanced, extremely drinkable. I'd argue the only negative is the 6.5% ABV, because killing a six pack of this (for $13) would be too easy. This is probably the best beer I've had all year, with Off Color's Maranon Predator the only thing that might be in the conversation.

unfortunately the bossman only wants to barrel age the barleywine for like 4 months...I guess I have 4 months to convince him to let them go longer. I'm incredibly jealous of any goons that will be attending FWIBF today.. I really wanted to go but something tells me that my wife wouldn't let it happen when we have a less than two month old and 3 year old at home.. I'm pretty much already starting my countdown for next year

 hot takeSierra Nevada has a decent selection of beers. Some pale ales I actually enjoyed. Fav was the Helles in the Tropics tropical lager. In other beer drinkin: Bootleggers Brewery El Chango was a decent Mexican-American style lager. Made for a yummy michilada.

In honor of cocksuckers and hoopleheads, I opened that BCBS Reserve from a couple years ago, aged in the fancy Knob Creek barrels. It's quite good! But I think the biggest issue they've had since the bottle change/infection is the carb level. Even with some time, these fizz a bit too much. It definitely adds to a cola-like sensation. This is much better than the 16 I had recently but the mouthfeel is still just a bit off.

I can't seem to figure out why, but it mostly seems like it's fruited wilds and beer/wine hybrids that end up in clear glass. is it for shelf appeal?

This must not have made it out to my neck of the woods yet. I’ve checked almost all of my local places that carry Bell’s and no one seems to have it. Disappointing because I’m on a lager/Pilsner kick right now for summer. Hopefully it’ll show up soon.

Basically yeah, but I would argue more for instagram appeal rather than shelf appeal. It is mostly for heavily fruited wild/sour beers with practically no hops so to avoid skunking. They are pretty much used to show off the bright colors of the beers. The whole trend is cribbing off natural wines doing the same thing with clear bottles. FYAD SECRETARY posted:
Good luck. Rum barrels are a loving chore to deal with as they leak like a motherfucker.

We are planning to hit up Milwaukee, Madison, and the Lake Geneva area in late July this year. What are the can't miss breweries/bars/restaurants? I know New Glarus by Madison, but what are the best of Milwaukee? Also, are there any breweries of note in the Lake Geneva area? We'll be staying by the third ward area of Milwaukee, which I think is close to the Milwaukee ale house as well as MobCraft, Milwaukee Brewing Company, and Urban Harvest. It also seems reasonably close to Lakefront Brewery, Eagle Park, and Good City brewing. Haven't booked accommodations for Madison or Lake Geneva yet. I'm probably being limited by the wife to a couple of breweries a day since she doesn't really drink anymore. Breweries with good food and/or cocktails and wine would be a plus.

Good City makes solid pales, though it's been about a year since I bought them so they might have gone haze. I remember the food being decent there as well. In Madison, Funk Factory is the spot people talk about. I haven't had anything from them personally. Untitled Art is their canning haze and pastry and other hype arm. New Glarus is absolutely worth the trip and unless you have specific reasons to stay in Madison proper, I'd suggest staying there. It's pretty as hell and a nice little tourist village. The Cow and Quince served me the best breakfast I've ever had. There's also a famous German restaurant, Garner Stube, that was tight. Lake Geneva isn't a great spot for beer or at least wasn't a couple years ago. Also be prepared to be surrounded by a million Illinois people.

Toebone posted:I'm going to the UK (London, Glasgow, and various places in between) later this summer, what should I be drinking? If you have time in London, hit up the Bermondsey Beer Mile. I don't have specific recommendations, though I'm sure others can help, but you can find a ton of info on google, and there's a decent number of tap rooms too. Glasgow-wise, the best beer pub is the Shilling Brewing Company in the city center. They've got about 15 taps, not including their own beers brewed on site, and sometimes you get lucky and one of their prototypes. Also worth checking out is the WEST brewery out at Glasgow Green, great food, great beers, great building. As for in between, you might need to be more specific, but I'm not sure I can help anyway.
