Jersey Girl, ManSkirt and Czigmeister are all super close to each other and very worth the drive in the Hackettstown/ Mt Olive area. It's also just a nice area of the state too if you're out for a drive. Be sure to also stop by Hot Dog Johnny's in Buttzville for a cheap deep fried dog, fries, and birch beer or buttermilk.

Bolero Snort is awesome, they have tons of really good and fun cans. Everything from them is delicious. Jersey Cyclone is a cute little place, but not a big can selection at this time.

I'm in this area and recommend all three, also seconding Hot Dog Johnny's. Though if you are not in the mood for that you can get some decent food near Czigmeister and ManSkirt.

Desert Heat? I thought it was Dessert Heat. No wonder it tastes so bad.

Out of the 40ish brut IPAs I had almost all were very bad and like 3 were amazing.

Rev's BIB released today.

I'm still not sure how this was supposed to work. Were the breweries provided a recipe to follow? Was it guidance or something specific?

Rev's description makes it sound nice: a kind of old school stout (Alderaan is the base beer for Deth's Tar, of course...).

I picked up a few cans of B-43 the last time I was at the bottle shop without looking closely at the can, didn't realize it was a brut until I tried it. It was okay.

I grabbed a 4 pack of Love Bubbles from Breakside when it was in their rotation for the Seeker series of IPAs without realizing it was a brut. It's probably my least favorite Breakside beer.

Got a box of Ardent from Funkybottoms. The bohemian and italian pilsners are both extremely good but the doppelbock is some next level poo poo. Probably the best one I've had in years.

Was at the local TJ's today and what do I see on the shelves? A brut IPA. I picked up a 4 pack and they're in the fridge right now. Lol I don't even remember which brewery made 'em :\

*edit*
Just checked the date on these cans and it's 2/20/20. Looks like I got took :trumppop:

One of the local breweries made a brut ipa that I thought would be terrible. Then when I was offered a taste of it I read the cans which said it was made with Mosaic and Citra hops and holy poo poo, it was pretty drat good.

yay! sorry i didn't send the regular pils, but i am unhappy with the most recent batch; long story, but we let someone else crop off our yeast, pitch, and then crop off their beer to give back to us and i think something went a little sideways. not flawed, but not how it normally tastes, either.

also, i have been remiss in thanking you for muling the Zillicoah Kellerpils, which was quite nice and not exactly what i was expecting. soft, bready malt character, lower carbonation, and cloudy? yes. huge lemony/herbal hop notes? sure. something almost a little... tart? hmm. blind, i might have guessed that it was a farmhouse beer, but i guess that has something to do with the open fermentation process. regardless, they were really tasty and supremely crushable, plus the packaging is sexy as hell.

I crushed a ton of the Keller Pils. It was great. Mine did not have any tartness or cloudy but they are packaging on the hand bottler they use for funky beer and basically cleaning the hell out of it in between. Currently crushing the Helles that just got released. Prettttyyyyyyy gooooood.

i think the lemon hop flavor was so strong that it kind of presented itself as tart? i dunno, i really did enjoy them, but there was something unusual i just couldn't put my finger on.

so, what's up with Casita's big news? are you still going to be brewing at DR or are you getting a full setup?

Kosher man
May 8, 2002
Its a full set up but only a 10bbl kit with tanks to match. Could only do 5 brews a month in that space so we plan to keep brewing at DR as well for bigger distro. What it does offer us is a tasting room and a chance to do sours and mix culture. It also has a massive outdoor garden which we plan to utilize during all this.

Having Cantillon Oude Gueze (relatively fresh) and 3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze Cuvée Armand & Gaston (season 17|18) back to back and 3 Fonteinen is kicking Cantillons rear end. Neither beer is very sour, but the 3 Fonteinen one has this "clashing" of tart and intensely bitter that reminds me of BFM √225 Saison. It's also much more carbonated, and the combination of these factors just makes it a more refreshing beer. It's got an amazing orange color for a beer made with only pale malt and wheat.

We get the keys on Aug 1st and plan to start redecorating and stuff. Hopefully all our permits also come in at the start. I think September is when we plan to open the doors but as to when in September it will come down to exactly when the permits come in and I can make beer.

About a year ago I opened 3F's regular OG and an A&G from the same time period (and no older than a year so, bottled). The difference was pretty significant, with my preference to the OG. A&G definitely had less funk and a higher mineral flavor and bitterness. The OG is what I kind of cut my teeth on in lambic so it better fit my idea of what it "should" taste like. It's definitely interesting that they seemingly are purposely making A&G a different beer when- at least initially- the difference was where the wort was being brewed.

I believe at the moment the difference is only the amount of hops used (they talk about that on the Belgian Smaak podcast), although they're probably also blending for a slightly different result... or maybe they just blend to what tastes good then and there.

Yeah. And maybe some of my surprise between the two was that when the first batches of A&G were out, they were advertised as "the first geueze blends with all-3F wort in years!" which I think people thought meant that it was just OG with their wort. The few I've had now- especially when side-by-side with OG- really made me think otherwise. I definitely think they're going for a different end result with the blend.
