    Can someone please bring a Yopener of some sort for opening wax top bottles. I seem to have miss placed mine (or taken from friends). :angry:

    I know. I'm so sorry. I'm disappointed too.

    We'll have to drown our sorrows in one of the other 20 or so kegs.

    SD or LA, or both? Remember, so us unfortunate souls in the opposite city don't have to cry tears of envy over what's being brought to the other city, there are now independent Woodshop LA and SD threads.

    Anyone in SD know the policy at downtown JB on people bringing in "outside food"? And by that I'm wondering if pretzel necklaces are ok to bring in and consume throughout the day. @cquiroga and comment on this?

    There was a ton of snacks sitting on the table last year like pretzels, cookies, chips. Ordering food at DTJB was extremely quick. Took maybe 5-10 minutes max.

    SD BLIND HOP SHOWDOWN (I might have the order wrong on a couple of these-- have to check my notes)
    A - Beachwood BBQ Hop Ramen IPA (kegged 9/30) (Reigning Champ)
    B - Cellarmaker Admiration IPA (Challenger)
    C - Noble Ale Works Galaxy Showers (Challenger)
    D - Alpine Duet IPA (kegged 9/30) (Home Turf Defender)
    E - El Segundo Mayberry IPA (kegged 10/2) (Challenger)
    F - North Park Beer Co. Hop-Fu! (kegged 9/30) Home Turf Defender)
    SD BLIND COFFEE SHOWDOWN (again, might have messed up this order)
    A - Alesmith Vietnamese Speedway
    B - Cellar 3 Coffee Silva
    C - Noble Ale Works Naughty Sauce
    D - Pizza Port - Carlsbad First In Imperial Coffee Porter
    SD BLIND STONEFRUIT SHOWDOWN (I got this order correct)
    A - Lost Abbey Ad Idem (collaboration with Wicked Weed)
    B - Modern Times Fruitlands Apricot
    C - Craftsman Cuvee de Masumoto
    D - Council Imperial Beatitude w/ Peaches and Nectarines
    E - Jeremiah Bignell Chat Flou! Two-Year Blend (homebrew)
    Winners were Galaxy Showers, Coffee Silva, and Chat Flou! Two-Year Blend (of this point I am sure).
    Galaxy Showers was delicious. For my tastes, only Hop Ramen and Hop-Fu! were close, but I thought Hop-Fu! quickly burned off of its fantastically itchy hop aroma to leave a noticeable butteriness that was not flattering. Coffee Silva was the showstopper in the Coffee Showdown, for my money. Crazy fudge brownie richness. Just not even close to the other beers.
    And while several of the Stonefruit beers left a little lacking here or there ("too mild aroma"; "no carbonation and weak mouthfeel"; etc.), the Two-Year Blend of Chat Flou! was ridiculously, ridiculously good. Awesome to see Jeremiah (longtime underground legend homebrewer-- "Greenhill Brewery", currently working on collaborating with Homage Brewing in Pomona) take it down against some very formidable competition. Expect big things!


    LA BLIND HOP SHOWDOWN
    A - Beachwood BBQ Hop Ramen IPA (kegged 9/30) (Reigning Champ)
    B - Highland Park Neon IPA (kegged 10/3) (Home Turf Defender)
    C - Modern Times Lost Horizon Double IPA (Challenger)
    D - Pizza Port Wet Hopped The Burning of Rome IPA (Challenger)
    E - Alpine Handshake IPA (kegged 9/23) (Challenger)
    F - Belching Beaver Pound Town Triple IPA (Challenger)
    LA BLIND COFFEE SHOWDOWN
    A - Abnormal The Full Pint Breakfast Porter w/ Vanilla
    B - AleSmith Velvet Speedway
    C - Highland Park Hammered Satin w/ Espresso
    D - Pizza Port - San Clemente Dusk Til Dawn Imperial Coffee Porter
    Winners were Neon and Velvet. Really cool to see Neon defend its home turf. Hell of a beer.
    I thought all of the Hop Showdown beers were really great. Would love to drink any of them again. My personal favorite was the Wet Hopped Burning of Rome, because I thought it had the most complex, interesting flavor. Then probably Belching Beaver. But Neon was great too.
    I'd be very curious to see how these beers would stack up against the ones from San Diego. In particular, the winners from San Diego... Galaxy Showers was really awesome, and the surprise of the weekend, for me, was Coffee Silva Stout from Cellar 3. Amazingly delicious beer.

    Someone somewhere on the internet said something nice about the Woodshop10 beer:

    "It feels deceptively barrel aged, and I am content to drink the Kool-aid and put up with all of the bullshit because the net result is a fucking PHENOMENAL beer."
