Oh yeah. That one is really good.

Tettnang! Less than twenty minutes from where I grew up! Blew my mind when I saw Tettnanger bags at Sam Adams (Knew even less about beer back then.)
Not a huge fan of that name though.
cool, didnt realize the reference

Work closed early due to snow tonight here in KY. The other day before the major snow hit I went for Breakfast Stout, but they were all out. Tonight, I was determined to go in for some Ten Fidy, but they had Breakfast Stout in at the local store again. The coffee would keep me up, and Ten Fidy was calling. But, they only had a few packs of Backwoods Bastard left, and I figured that I should snag some before it disappears completely, so I am enjoying some of that tonight instead.
Ever since I heard about that green tea IPA I've been intrigued. Chances I'll ever stumble upon it here in Europe are pretty slim though :|

Sounds like a good candidate to be used in a beer shake
FLOATS MAN. FLOATS.
I've had this beer with vanilla ice cream before. Yum.
I just had the Green Tea and then I switched to Bourbon and got really drunk lol.
From what remembered beer has this wonderful full nearly golden colour with a beautiful head and just the right amount of carbonation. Definitely not flat, but far from being acidic. The green tea is heavier on the smell and in the initial taste, but by the end somehow it moved more towards the tail end of my taste buds. I think it's really key in the balance of the beer. It imparted a slight sweetness and flowery nature to the brew that saved it from probably being another Stone hop bomb. Brilliant beer though, I'd probably give it B+. Would buy again at only $8.99 a bomber.
Never had a beer float/shake whatever. Never sounded appealing to me.Sounds like a good candidate to be used in a beer shake

They're pretty fun, don't use too much beer though because it can get kinda gross when you run out of ice cream and it's just the beer with some melted ice cream left. Try a stout + vanilla or a fruit beer like a Lindemans lambic + chocolate.
By the way, I don't know if you saw this but I'm guessing this is closer to you than the LA events
These girls had a Raspberry Lambic with Graeter's Raspberry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream...I wasn't even supposed to have any, but man it made for an amazing float.

Where do you live? Do you have a Total Wine or a BevMo near you?
If you're ever done here Party Source has tons.
I've got none of those. I did a quick google search and It came up with a few places. Maybe once all this fucking snow is plowed I'll go on a grand quest.
I usually don't get that deep into Cinci when I'm down there. But I'll keep it in mind. Always try to find a few regional beers while I'm traveling.

Today was the Washington Brewer's Open House. Hit up Stoup, Reuben's Brews and Fremont. Berlinerweisse, Triple IPAs, Bourbon barrel aged stouts ahoy.
And I've still got a growler of Headhunter IPA from the Portland Fat Heads brewery in the fridge.

Local store has Green Tea IPA on the growler wall. Tempted to get one.

You missed it at the Brass Tap tasting. Growler of Bo & Luke, 2010 Darkness, 2013 Black Tuesday, 2006 Stone Russian Imperial Stout, Black Ops, Barrel-aged Narwhal, Firestone Walker Velvet Merkin and Stickee Monkee and a lot of others. Good time had.

Ughhhhh I have to visit Washington and Oregon ASAP. Are you going to that de Garde event? The list looks insane, I would do terrible terrible things for Black Raspberry Bu.

Free beer is better than no beer.
That's debatable tbh.

Well...yeah. I would rather have no beer than have the Boss Green beer or whatever the hell that is. But at least Bud Light is tolerable after a bit, unlike that Boss thing. That was the only beer I ever poured out after gagging some.
No. Spent three hours lugging a 1200lb cast iron printing press into a basement in the height of summer and was offered warm Coors Light for my troubles. No thanks.

Finally found a place in NYC where they had very few Hopslam. At least I won't be waiting until next year for the next batch.

Ok. I was wrong. My bad.
But still, there are worse things than Bud Light. Like warm Coors Light.
I'll drink to that. Warm light beer might as well be piss.

I just had a Backwoods Bastard and a Crooked Double Tree. Tempted for another Bastard now.
Snow was crazy for my little Civic.
What I'm drinking tonight.
Between the two, I like the Black Rye. Mmm it's good.

Dark Penance is good, but like a not as good Stone Sublimely Self Righteous. RIP SSSR. I am sad it is going away.
I still need to try Black Rye, but every rye beer I tried didn't sit right with me.

I'm a de Garde Keeper, but can't make the quarterly party next weekend. I'll get my stuff at the May release/anniversary party.
I really liked it. It was dark but not heavy. Kind of hard to explain. It didn't have the sweetness of malts, it lacked the bite of hops. It really came across more like a dark spiced ale... if you've ever had one of those. But it was a flatter taste with a more equalised head and tail than a spiced ale might create. At any hand I'm a fan.
The Dark Penance I'm drinking as we speak and as all IPA's go for me. They get better the longer I've been drinking them. It's pretty satisfying right now. But I'm also 3 drinks in, so who knows.

Is that a fresh devil dancer or an old one?
I think I should try one eventually in that case. I didn't really understand the point, but I can see an interesting combination working. Like in your case Des, I bet it would be tasting another persons though. Can't see myself ordering one.
Oh shit, it is. Might actually be interested in this if a friend in OC wants to go.

The main roads were fine. Took 75 down and had no trouble (I drive a Matrix...). Left right as the snow was letting up (4:30ish).
