Have you had any of their recent brewhouse rarities? I just got into beer a few months ago, but focused on the DFH and Stone catalog, so I am just now branching out. My main focus is ipas though. What have you had of theirs? I don't like their pearl necklace. I loved their barrel-aged gonzo porter. Their centennial and el dorado single hop ipas were great. Not a big fan of the green tea imperial stout or pumpernickel ipa though. That is all I have had of theirs so far. I really want to try raging bitch, double dog, kujo and horn dog.

IMO Double Dog is their best, but i'm a huge hop-head admittedly and i only prefer big beers (although i'd never turn down smaller ones!)

Sorry I kind of lump lambics and Cantillon into the sours group. Well, they are made in Belgium using traditional methods and are probably the best in their category. Think a larger scale Russian River. First, you have to like lambics in this case, and second lambics take anywhere from 1 to 3 years to age, and then they are sometimes set aside for a few more years (reserve varieties). Sours (lambics) are expensive because of the time scale and extra work that needs to be done.

Wish they distributed further.

>>4389995

Well, each batch has the date on the bottle and is in very limited quantities and are only sent to the states listed for that specific date. You should check out the site. It lists where they are available if they are in your state for that batch. These beers are made to be had only fresh, so they are pulled from store shelves on the final date of that batch. So, this new batch 5/17/13 is due in MD like in 2 weeks and will only be available for a month. However, this stuff is so popular that kegs are kicked soon after tapping and bottles are gone within a few days. I had it at an event. Trying to get a bottle this time.

Not even wanting to know the cost of a 1/4 barrel of KBS....

>texts my Founder's vendor to find out how much it would be to bring it in to my bar

Yeah... I didn't want to know that

To be fair, KBS is good... but it's like Oberon, in that it's hyped so much because of it's limited availability. Also yes people still think oberon is limited despite it being available for like 9 months out of the year.

If they made it year round like Dragon's Milk then it would have it's fan base but you wouldn't see people as crazy as they are now about it.

you get flavour of the month's in any group. One person posts it almost at random, and in the thread someone just happens to be reading to get ideas. They go and try it. Next time, the thread is two people talking about how good something is. A third guy feels left out so HE then goes and tries it. And it snowballs from there.

The other alternative, is marketing people from breweries use this board to generate false interest in their products. It all depends on how cynical you are.

I hope that doesn't put you off ciders. However, Crispin has some of the most widely available cider bombers. JK Scrumpys is my favorite (their winter one is good too). Angry Orchards' Iceman is much better than their Strawman. I generally prefer fox barrel to crispin. Look out for Crispin's limited edition 12 oz bottle, like bird on a wire. Their best bomber is probably their new release Bohemian. Also, the ginger angry orchard is quite good for a six packer. Julian makes some good cider as well.

Definitely worth the trip if you are in the Minneapolis area.

Their calendar says it is being released this month, but I have yet to see it. It is readily available in the summer though, basically every grocery/liquor store carries the full new Glarus line in Wisconsin so once it is out it will be easy to find

Also if you like fruit beer be sure to buy New Glarus's Serendipity and/or Raspberry Tart on your trip

Flying Dog is one step above Shipyard to me. Maybe two if the bottle art is put into consideration. Their six packs generally run for either $9 or 10. I'd rather pay an extra dollar and get Titan or Two Hearted. Or pay less and grab some Torpedo tallboys.

I don't pay for that stuff anymore though, even when samplers are on sale ($12 for 12 packs on occasion). It's just not worth it.

If you like Ruination keep your eyes peeled for Green Flash Palate Wrecker. It's price is comparative to Ruination (so, expensive), but it has a bit more wallop.

I keep thinking "I might like it more than Ruination" every time I buy it, but it's been too long since I've had Ruination to rightly make that claim. It's just a shame they don't sell more of the 12 oz. 4 packs I've seen of Ruination, just bombers. I generally don't buy a bomber for $8 when I can get a 6 pack of solid, nearly world class beer for $10. For some reason I am okay with $13 for 4 Palate Wreckers though? Math (and sense) obviously evades me sometimes.

As in Bell's Oberon? I've never seen a store WITHOUT Oberon if that's what you're talking about.
