MyOldKyDram Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Also had an Anchorage Deal With The Devil Barleywine last night. Aged 11 months in cognac barrels and weighing in at 17.3% it's probably the best Barleywine, and one of the best beers period I've ever had. ISO moar of this.

bingstein Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I just had a Heady Topper myself! I was in VT for a wedding and was able to bring a couple back with me. Do you guys get Pliny the Elder where you are? I'm curious if you or anyone else here has done a SBS of those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tylermke Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Founders Double Trouble followed by Ommegang Three Philosophers. Really digging the Philosophers tonight and it drinks way too easy for a near 10% beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyOldKyDram Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 The newest Enjoy By is in OH, Bing. Hopefully we get back on the rotation soon.Had a Brew Kettle Ild 21 IIPA, Prairie FGM, and a Founder's Backwoods Bastard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravensfire Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Cannot wait for the next Enjoy By. The 18th anniversary is not inspiring this year.After some chores outside after work, had a 5 Rabbit 5 Lizard witbier. Got it based on a recommendation and really liked it. Touch of sour but nicely balanced. Following it up now with a Fort Collins Brewery Double Chocolate Stout. Great beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was part of an Anchorage flight at Beer Trappe. Was hoping other shops would get some but doesn't look like that's to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clavius Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Nice glass man.....Thanks. I ordered it directly from Bell's. Then I saw it earlier today at one of the Barns for the same price. Doh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P&MLiquorsEric Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I guess we can't get them all. I hate that beer is following the wine model of "on premise" only for the very special releases. It's all a fight for taps and bottles. A store can carry hundreds/thousands of products while a bar can only hAve a fraction of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A store can carry hundreds/thousands of products while a bar can only hAve a fraction of that.Beer Trappe has long followed that model w the hardest to find stuff. Pazzos too to some extent. Everywhere else not so much but they also don't get stuff like the Anchorage ever. Oh well, glad I got to try it but damn what I wouldn't do to have two of these put back.

P&MLiquorsEric Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Pazzos was my gateway into craft beer. My wife worked there in college. Im working on a brewpub in downtown etown that is 18-24 months away. I will be curious to see the relationship of retail vs on premise when it comes to beers and bourbon.

Tony Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Bell's Mars Double IPA, a well done beer and looking forward to the rest in the series.Best regards, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPPSmoker Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Tony, do you have enough of that Mars for your liking? I can help you out with that and Oracle when I see you.I made the 90 mile drive to Kalamazoo today with the wife and stopped at Bell's and Arcadia. I got a growler fill of Octoberfest. I'll crack that tomorrow. Bell's Eccentric Café was serving a beer they called Cinnamon Sunrise Stout (12.7% abv). It was their Special Double Cream Stout aged in Traverse City whiskey barrels with cinnamon and vanilla. It was crazy good but you could really taste the youth of the Traverse City barrel. What I wouldn't give for this beer to be in a Four Roses barrel.Then we made the half mile trip to Arcadia. I've had very few of their beers in the past so I got a flight of Roggenberry, Big Dick's Old Ale, Cereal Killer, Loch Down and Starboard Stout. Each were solid beers but they didn't overwhelm me either. The bbq at Arcadia is an 11 out of 10. My wife doesn't drink but she said it was worth the 90 mile drive for the bbq.Oh yeah, my wife drove home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
