New beers during GABF

Anyone know what Applejack still has on the shelves? Headed over there at lunch and don't want to miss anything. Did they get a shipment of Jai Alai? I really want to try that one.

 

Applejack's has nothing; all they had was Blue Moon when I was there yesterday.

 

do you want some prarie? it is turding up the shelves around here. Funky Galaxy, 'merica, standard, that new spelt saison colab...

 

I'm good. I got to try prairie bomb, and snatched up some funky galaxy, but in the end if I had to trade forit I would just spend the money on trinity instead.

 

Finally got to try some Prairie 'Merica and loved it....wish I had continual access to that one and was surprised that it was a single hop/single malt beer. Got a Puncheon in my fridge I am now stoked to try, but I can not see that one beating out 'Merica for me.

Also, so nice to find some Jai Ala on the shelves. How I wish that was here to stay.

 

Looks like Three Rivers has adjusted their pricing on Velvet Merkin ($15 per).

 

Am I the only one who thinks jai alai shouldn't get the hype it does? I actually enjoyed Osiris way more.

 

im not much of a trader so this was my first taste of jai alai and i loved it...

 

I had a different reaction, I had Osiris earlier this week and thought it was so very average. Jai Alai is good, but in all honesty White Oak Jai Alai is the best.

 

Same here. Don't trade so only got to try this once before when I was down in Flordida. Thought this was as great as I remembered it to be. Never got to try the White Oak Jai Ali or any of the other variations to it. Wish I could make it to Falling Rock this Wednesday or Thursday or whenever the special tapping of Jai Alai 5 ways is.

 

Agree 100% on all accounts.

 

I've been disappointed by all of the Sun King brews that were brought out here. They're okay...and they come in a big can....but our locals are better.

 

I just grabbed some Osiris. Hugos has all 3 Sun Kings still. I wish Half Acre and Rev had stuff available, I really miss those 2 since moving here.

 

Jai Alai is CC's flagship beer. For a top selling completely non-rare beer I think it's phenomenal, but it's certainly not going to blow your mind with totally new flavors.

 

Saw that some of Jester King's Atrial Rubicite hit retail up there. Any of you lucky enough to land a bottle?

 

You weren't kidding! It was a wasteland.

 

Argonaut still has most of the new stuff, just picked up a Pliny and a Prairie Bomb. Also grabbed Victory's new IIPA DirtWolf, can't wait to try that in a bit.

 

prairie 'merica just made a pretty big impression over here too. i dont get too excited about farmhouse / saison styles. i like them, but havent had many that i loved. this one is excellent.
