amg Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I picked up a bottle of Bloomington Brewing "10 Speed" Hoppy Wheat before checking into my hotel in Evansville. Absolutely disgustingly atrocious beer. Crap smells and tastes like cross between boiling Brussel Sprouts and a weeks worth of Uwe Blab's sweaty and dirty gym clothes. If IU ever wants to eliminate on-campus drinking, they should make every Freshman chug a pint of this swill at Orientation...:puke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoboda Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Mother's Super Doozy! on tap at Bier Station (stellar!) . . . then, Boulevard The Calling (bottle) and North Coast Acme California IPA at home with pork chops on the grill . . . burrrp! Bourbon to follow . . . CEHTBP, 135.4, finishing this fine bottle, and a beautiful day in the Midwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I think either you got a bad bottle or are particularly prone to hyperbole! I had some of that today and thought it was perfectly drinkable, though quite a bit more floral than one might expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amg Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 It wouldn't surprise me if that one could get pretty bad if it went "skunky", like any beer with a lot of hops can if not stored properly. It's not a favorite of mine, but not a drain pour either.I had a Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron tonight and it was thick, rich, and delightful.

That looks good! Unfortunately, I can't hit this trip as I'm heading home after meeting this AM. It was RiRa across from hotel last night. But back here next month, so I'll definitely try it out then!:toast: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPPSmoker Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Long day deserves a cold beer. Cheers to my beer and bourbon brethren. Best label ever! For those unfamiliar, take a real close look at the bridge and tip of the nose. The beer was originally called Smells Like Weed by Dark Horse when it was a brewpub only beer. The feds wouldn't let them use that name when they started bottling it a year ago for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also love the Double Crooked Tree they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Finishing up some late afternoon work on my wall project with a Red Hare Long Day Lager. Perfect Summer beer. Easy drinking, but with a nice maltiness and solid flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillman Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 A rye pale ale from Cameron, one of the Hogtown (i.e., Toronto) local breweries. I think rye works very well in pale ale - everyone here will say natch - but also this formulation is very good. Today at a restaurant I had a flight with different beers but the most interesting thing was a cider made with crabapples. Presumably cider originally used the wild apple, and due to the small amount of sugar in the crabapple the taste was quite tart but quite appealing. It's a bit like a lambic beer or some Belgian sours. Made by Spirit Tree, a fast-growing local cidery.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearmark Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Today it was 5 Stones Aloha Piña (pale ale with pineapple and roasted jalapeño), Epic Straight Up Saison, Bourbon County Stout 2014 and Pliny the Elder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Reserve Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Bell's Uranus, a Black Double IPA. Lots of hops but malty as well with a creamy head. I think I'll enjoy this 9.5% ABV pour over the next hour or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratcheer Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I went to a fancy beer store. The man asked me what I like. I said, I'd like something like Lowenbrau used to be when it was imported from Germany back in the 60's and 70's. He sold me Ballast Point Longfin. It hit the spot, exactly!Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's always a pleasant surprise. I used to really enjoy the Japanese beer Sapporo Premium in the tall silver can but can't find anything that tastes like it, including Sapporo itself now that it's made in Canada.

unclebunk Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 New Holland's Mad Hatter IPA. Sorry to hear that this one is being retired by New Holland, as it has a nice flavor and is ideal on a hot summer day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
