Ah here's the beer thread! I've been enjoying a lot of Singlecut Jenny Said and Weird and Gilly lately even though those are downstate. (NY) Grimm also has brought up some good stuff. But there's so much out there. In SF for a wedding so Ive been able to sample a few different brews out here. Mikkeller's Haze Cadet was pretty tasty. And after a ton of expensive running around I have a case of Pliney to bring home. My local buds have traded back and forth for Treehouse (mmm green), Trillium, Hill Farmstead etc, so I'm sure we'll have a good time with this. It was bottled 8/29, I bought it 9/9, and people online are still saying if I didn't get it and drink it direct from the barrel it is already ruined lmao.

atothesquiz posted:Should have taken the drive up to the brew pub and bought a case in one shot and an added bonus of doing a 17 or so beer flight. If you're still in SF, check out Cellarmaker and go to City beer down the street. I got the case from the brewery but had to turn right around and drive back to a wedding - no tasting for me. If it is unusual that the bottling date from the brewery was that far back then ... Oh well. Can I go up market to cellarmaker and over without walking over puke covered bums or through crackton? There seems to be a number of pockets of that around here.

They open at 3 tomorrow and I could probably swing that for an hour or so then I have to get my bags and hit the BART back to SFO. I'm on Powell/Geary anyways and the bar people here say just walk and ignore the junkies. That's worked so far. If I can't get those cans into my bags that'll be airport drinkin.

atothesquiz posted:Ah, I thought your originally meant you went from beer store to beer store buying up PtE wherever you could. It stinks that you didn't have more time north of the bay but glad you're enjoying yourself. Yeah its just a lot of energy to do anything. I made it to Cellarmaker and grabbed 1 4pk each of double dobis and Mt nelson. That's all I can fit converting my carry on to checked. the zipper is kinda fucky so if TSA opens it ... Well we shall see. Pliney is safe in a wine check.

krustster posted:I also got some Tilquin Mure and Quetsch, I thought about getting a 750 of the Mure but restrained myself and got a little one instead. How good are these? Like, next time it comes here should I stock up wildly? I tried the regular gueuze years ago and liked it and I was like oh these fruit things look fun but I don't feel like drinking them right now to see for myself. I bought a ton of IPAs and had to cut back on my beer spending you see, but then because I hate money I decided to start buying a bunch of sours and other things that can be stored for a long time instead. Yeah you gotta jiggle it around to close it completely otherwise some of the teeth won't bind. If they get it mostly closed or throw some tape on it good enough, it was cheap poo poo and if it gets trashed then it does. I'm assuming that they will open it since it will look like a thing outta die hard with the liquid chambers but maybe they wont.

Phanatic posted:TSA opened up a taped-up growler of mine and didn't screw the lid back on which meant the half-assed reapplied tape was the only thing holding it together so of course all 64 ounces of AZW grapefruit gose spilled in my luggage. They ended up ignoring the suitcase with the beer cans actually. They opened the wine case (or someone did - no TSA card) and pulled a bottle to look and mostly put it back. Came back alright minus the luggage lock which was missing. Did okay.

Trillium didn't have anything in the same juicy vein as Treehouse did - at least comparing the Green versus any number of Fort Port variants. Last time I made the drive up I was planning to do beer and visit my friends at Uncle Ned's Fish Factory. I left here at like 5 AM, drove 6.5 hours, only to have Treehouse tweet out how unusually busy it was and that if you were not already in line ( I was ~25 minutes out) that you were not getting any beer. Disappointing for sure but I had other things to do. Lot of good examples out now so it is not necessary to make a beer pilgrimage unless you're already in the area I guess or you want that check in for Untappd. Vermont and Maine are still great for a trip, but, that's as there is more to do than drive to a brewery.

Is anyone considering the Liquid Arts festival this summer in Ontario? I’m pretty open to going and trying some internationals . Yeasty boys looks good. On another note I took a winter hellstorm trip to Wisconsin and brought me back some good beers - the Squatters double IPA is really tasty. I hope some more of these things come east. Also grabbed some of Flying Bison’s Juice Caboose which is okay but I guess I have been spoiled by some of Singlecut or Suarez’s stuff.

Drinking Thin Man Bliss and it poured super hazy. Still okay, I thought it was bottom of the keg. Turns out no, it’s a fresh keg and it wasn’t unsettled so it is just a poo poo batch. Still drinkable IMO. But the bar manager still switched it and gave me a free pour of the newer keg just because. And lines were cleaned yesterday so this is back to excellently juicy without the yeast. I win.

Same , just grabbed some cans of a simple mosaic IPA from a local brewery on a limited release. Resurgence’s Conehead IPA, named for a man who’s been slinging beers for 40 years at the local ballpark. He always wears a conehead.

DrHammond posted:But holy loving poo poo California, why have you been hiding New England IPA's from me? Hammond, his liver opened I was so used to any old IPA having at least some of those clear qualities that my first IPA in the Midwest being malty as hell caused me to look at the beer as though it were broken. I’d forgotten how much malty sweetness they jam in there out west. That’s fine but the juicy styles just don’t exist out there either with any regularity. It’s like that thing where butter is different between coasts but beer.

To make myself feel better I will make a beer run to Vermont at some point end of summer or early fall. That’s my plan at some point here. I did a trip up to Boston and got Trillium e z . Treehouse sold out as I was pulling up. Prison city on the way was a good stop.

Went to Mortalis again on Sunday to pick up some of their Hydra series fruited sours. Top notch. Swung by Other Half over in the roc for a couple of pints but man do many of their (good!) beers taste super similar. Anyone else doing the Shelton festival in October?
