I'm partial to Brontosaurus Supernova myself.
Yup, 80s as fuck. I love it.
I liked some of Clown Shoes labels, just for their ridiculousness.
Undead Party Crasher is funny just because of the lawsuit over Vampire Slayer.

Is this for some event you would have to line up for? I haven't had anything of theirs recently (not really distributed near me) but Surette and Vielle are fantastic. Haven't tried more than a couple of their fruited sours but I liked them fine. I'd say go for it if it's not too crazy.

Standing in a line for CS bottles? In Cincinnati?
Huh. They're regular shelf releases here in Seattle. There was some excitement when they first came here, but nothing like that.

Lazersnake was solid, but nothing I would hunt down again. Currently finishing a Feb 2016 bottle of Uncle Jacobs Stout.
I'll skip then

They should be hitting shelves tomorrow. Some places already have them but can't sell yet. Draft won't be a problem either. Might grab a couple bottles tomorrow if prices aren't ridiculous.

I like CS but the size/price point prevents me from buying them very often.

An Untappd etiquette question. Drinking a collaboration bomber, so gonna get two glasses out of it. Is it cheating to do a check in for each brewery that worked on it?
distantmantra

Yes. Who actually released the beer to retail distribution? That's who gets the checkin.
What's the beer?

Confidentiality and Disclosure. An IPA by 3 Floyds and Fathead.
Not bad. Reminds me of Two Hearted.

It has a FFF bottle cap, it's their beer.

Don't remember what it was but still checked it under FFF since I had never heard of Fathead before.
Fuck tomorrow my birthday might treat myself then

My friend Kim got her beers yesterday in the mail, she was very excited. The M&Ms were a noise cancelling item, I'm guessing?
I was totally into hops/IPAs a few years ago, but now I'm totally over them. Dunno what happened, but I just am.
These days, I gravitate towards blonds, pilsners, lagers and especially sours - only good ones though, I can't get enough of a good sour beer.
My favorite sour being Russian River's Supplication.

Temptation is my favorite RR beer, but Supplication is nice as well.

Friend just brought back some Treehouse stuff again. Even though I don't get too deep into IPAs I really enjoy these. They are some of the few that I could drink enjoyably all day. I can say that honestly because it's not a style I'm generally into and I've never been too deep into the hype of a product so I don't think it is just the name that I'm into. Is there anyone here who is into IPAs that has tried their stuff fresh as well? Curious about the opinion of someone who is more into the style.
Wish I could have tried some of the Single Shot that they got to try at the brewery, but not enough to have wanted to have made the trip.

One of these days I'll get to try a Treehouse beer.
I've had Hoof Hearted, Trillium, Other Half, Tired Hands, etc. but never TH.

I like the Trillium beers my wife has brought back from Boston. I also think Night Shift is super underrated and makes some great beers.
Treehouse is too far outside the city and it's not realistic for her to get out there on her work trips to Boston.

I like Morph a lot. Whirlpool is also great. And Night Shift cans are super easy to find.
I tried that once half-sarcastically.
Not gonna happen. She's really not into beer and doesn't have the time to stand in line in the middle of a weekday for IPA cans.

New homebrew is ready to drink
Made a yummy Citra IPA. Very citrusy with a sweet but distinctly hoppy finish.
Nice one. Love a good Citra. Great Lakes does a baller one.

$15 isn't bad. That's what we've been seeing here in Seattle for hazy 4-packs of tallboys from Block 15, Structures and Fremont. Holy Mountain's Astral Projection DIPA 4-packs were $20. And their Three Fates pilsner 4-packs were $16.
Both amazing beers but damn the price tags were stunning.

Friend was in Portland on Saturday and grabbed me one at HotD. Won't see release in WA.
Yeah, I wasn't able to go to HM since it was my daughter's birthday but I had friends who went.
I liked Trillium over Treehouse too. I got to try Fort Point, Melcher St and Sleeper St from Trillium, Green and Julius from Treehouse.

One of my good friends has relatives in Virginia and he often brings back Troegs beers with him. They had a keg of Mad Elf for Christmas this year and got pretty wasted.

Mad Elf is going to be the one you'll likely hear the most about, but DreamWeaver is my favorite of their more widely-released beers. I don't know if some of their Scratch series make it to DC but some of those have been quite good-- going to be on draft only however.
