The Beer Nerd - what are you drinking / brewing thread

Anchor makes a really good blackberry IPA.

 

I vote to enact a new thread rule: no more ballast point pictures

 

The Hopfather has spoken.

 

Just found this post from by friend @-mike-... I've not been real active on the forum the past couple weeks.

Sorry man, that NEIPA is long gone, as it kicked in what has to be record time for a keg at Chez Beer:30. No IPA on tap ATM, but will be brewing a Two Hearted inspired IPA on Friday. You're welcome to stop by and sample what I do have if you find yourself up in the Fort Collins area.

 

With this being such a new brewery est 2017. I was pleasantly impressed.

 

You local to Jersey?

I usually take Double Nickel, Spellbound, or Dogfish Head on trips because of it being readily available to me in cans.

Had this cool find back when I was installing my winch. My wife found it when she was in Nashville for a bachelorette party and it was damn good.

Going to be doing some tasting this weekend for my birthday, including a visit to one of the very few places on the East Coast that keeps Pliny the Elder on tap.

 

Nice!!! Double Nickle brewery is right in Pennsauken up from the Jug Handle Inn. Not sure if you're south or north Jersey, but if you have a truck, I would guess south. I'm actually in PA, but in Jersey almost everyday and all over the East coast (with my own work car, not my truck). Whichever the case, Happy Bday!

 

Haha thank you! Yeah originally from NW NJ (Clinton/Phillipsburg/Easton PA) area but now in Burlington, NJ but work in Newtown, PA. We pass Double Nickel a bunch if we take 130 to Camden or Philly. Been wanting to stop by for a while.

 

Funny, I lived in Burlington for a year, right across from the Brickwall Tavern, I spent way too much money in that place. They opened a coffee shop, I rented that whole building before moving to PA.

 

Haha that's so funny, we just got coffee there for the first time two weeks ago. My coworker who also lives in Burlington recommended Brickwall to us. We have been in Burlington for just over 3 years now and are just now discovering these places lol

 

It's actually a big historic town, a lot of places have opened up, but it'll be awhile before it's Asbury Park. It's a very cool affordable place!!

 

Appreciate it man, we didn’t rent a car this trip. Just laying low in the mountains. Let’s do another trade soon.

 

I could get use to the craft beer prices out here. It’s about 30-50% cheaper then OC.

 

Probably a little out of your way anyway unless you were planning to go all the way to Denver. Maybe next time!

For sure, let me know when you want to do another trade.

 

Going dark.....

 

I know they are Big Beer now... But I really really like their High West BBA Victory at Sea

Heading out to Texas for a 2+ week wildfire detail... No beer! So tonight, I decided to pull from the vault. @Smashing ’s post decided what I was grabbing!



Soooo good! Bourbon and coffee have mellowed a good bit, allowing the other flavors to come through!

 

Banned.

 

Taste like apricot

Pretty good

 

I’m pretty sure you already said earlier in this thread, but I can’t remember. Why don’t you like ballast point?

 

Sell outs. Over priced, sub par beer.
