I don't see how it matters since Reverand Nats is from Portland, Oregon.
And it's not beer since there is no malted barley or other grain in it.

He posted a Spanish cider and said he loved it and you recommended something that is probably nothing like it.
I don't care really, just found it odd to add hops to a Basque cider.

Do you mean you got two bottles or two $300 sets of eight?
edit: sorry misread your post, two tickets

What, from where? Thought they had a name check on the ticket as well.
Two sets of 8

Not this thread. But still, think of it as bad beer karma. ;-)

It's okay, he was just surpassed by ShinAmano buying 16 bottles of an adjunct stout.
8...and what is this word: adjunct

I don't know what I'd do with 16 bottles (or 8). That's a lot of money that I could spread out on other beers or other things. And also stay happily married.
Adjunct is anything added to a beer that isn't water, yeast, malted barley/grain or hops. It doesn't necessarily have to be a four letter word in beer circles, but people sure go crazy over them (myself included at times).

My wife and I would have a long uncomfortable talk if I dropped $300 on a beer festival.

Would it be about you not getting two tickets? That's got to be it, right?
with reselling of the bottles, it could cost you 0-50.
I responded to you're previous post, I'm going with the wife. Glad you are going to be able to get your hands on some Huna.
We should still work something out for MBCP
For sure...is that this weekend?

Met my wife for lunch today so decided to hit the liquor store in the town that she works. There was still a ton of 2013 Ten Fidy on the shelf, as well as 2014. Was so tempted, but I know I can go back later for them.
They did have a bottle of 8 Wired Bumaye there. Never heard of it, but it is a stout aged in pinot noir barrels. Sounds yummy. And looking at Beer Advocate it was last made two or so years ago. Snagged it to try. Cant be all that bad.

I was looking it up on Untappd. Four people I follow had it before, pretty good reviews.
They also made an ice distilled version. That process is illegal in the US now (which is part of the elusiveness of Hair of the Dog's Dave), but maybe it's allowed in New Zealand where the brewery is.

Nice. It was the only bottle, and I am a sucker for stouts aged in different things. Figured it was worth a try tonight.

My parents got back from Austin last night, they brought me back a nice selection.

Got Corona Light, Stella Artois Light, Stella Artois Regular and Sol as a mixed 24 for Christmas. I like them all, as Stella has been my favourite for years and the others are good, but I'm not as big on Corona as I used to be. Sol is pretty good, but a lot like it.
I prefer my Dad's Rolling Rock to most of them, but I've never been a beer afficionado.

I did a 3 year vertical of Ten Fidy a few months ago and my take away is that they package their beer really well. There are subtle differences year to year, but you aren't getting a noticeably improved beer after sitting on it for a year or two. It definitely doesn't get worse, but I know I'm not paying the extra $3/4pk a local place here is charging for the 2014. If it's the same price, then yeah, go for it. Drink a 3 year vertical and have an awesome night haha!

Oh, I did the 3 year vertical a few months ago. It was a great night. And they are the same price here either way, and there wasn't much difference year after year for the most part. It is a bit sweeter when fresh though.
I think Founders Imperial Stout does better with some age on it. Definitely less sweet and syrupy after a few months.
Gotta snag a bottle of 2014 and 2015 Three Philosophers soon so I can do a 2011-2015 vertical one day. Or hell, just wait to see some 2016 show up and do it then.

Damn, that is awesome. Did a 13-14 once. And funny enough 2015 only showed up here the other day.

You'll have to post how that goes. The last one I did, 2012 was really oxidized, but that might have just been a not great bottle. The time before that, there was hardly any difference. I really love that beer...
See you there
See you there
Do they normally sell anything else there? Or are variants typically Catador Club only?
Catador only. Ive never been but basically site says drafts and food only.
It is, should be a good time. It's no Huna Day, but FB are tapping some stuff.
That's correct, drafts and food only. No bottles for sale, and because it is in a public park this year (used to be on site), no bottle shares at all. No glass allowed in the park.
I'd suggest hitting beer advocate if you are looking for a bottle share before/after, and also keep an eye out for other rare tappings at places like Cycle and 7venth Sun throughout the weekend.

Very pleased with these two Session IPAs last weekend:
Maine Beer Company Hop Program - Beer 1 http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/20681/156584/
Evil Twin Citra Sunshine Slacker
http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/24300/156141/
Evil Twin's Citra session might have replaced my go to NFL Sunday Football beer from the Newbury Port Melt Away. Super drinkable all day.

Oh, those Stone releases sound good.
I have the New Belgium Barleywine. I'm excited to dive into it. I've had a couple blackberry ales in the past and they have all been good. They tend to taste like a sour ale, but since it's coming from the berries it's a bit more fruity, and other malt and hop profiles still get to come through.
I wonder if it's gonna be boozy
It's a 10%er. Can't say I really am bothered with booziness until things get up around 14%. At 10% it would probably just add to what I like in a beer. If abv gets too low it can come across too watery or lacking in "bite" to me.

I have not heard good things about the Blackberry Barleywine.
I've heard nothing either way. It literally just came out didn't it? Also I find people usually have pleb tastes when it comes to sour ales. It sounds up my alley.

23 people I follow on Untappd have had it already going back to December 19th. And it's a barleywine, not a sour ale.
You've been on my ass lately. I'm talking about people who don't follow beers that closely, I didn't know the opinions were coming from untapped.
Also, I mean sour in taste. It's a blackberry ale, they are literally sour. I'm not saying it's a "Sour Ale" I know what it is, I bought one. I'm hoping this has a sour taste profile because that's what I liked in previous blackberry ales that I've had.
