New to Ohio (2017)

Replied to you guys about Baptista.

 

Vietnamese nut smasher!

 

If I'm being honest, it tasted just like regular Nutsmasher to me.

 

No it was noticeably different. A lot more chocolate. I think I prefer regular but it was pretty damn good.

 

I must not be a super taster then, because I tasted them side by side and didn't really notice any difference. Maybe a slightly stronger peanut butter taste in the Vietnamese if anything.

 

I had never had any of the beers at Willoughby before today, and the BA B.D.A. was my favorite, then the Vietnamese, then the regular Nutsmasher, and the BA Nutsmasher was the least favorite. All were amazing, and I'll be happy to have them again.

 

Holy shit wish I knew you werethere I thought BA BDA was probably one of the most average ba stouts if you could fathomly guess it was a stout I have ever had. I would gladly have bought my two bottles and sold them to you.

 

All Andersons locations (Toledo and Columbus) are closing by June.

 

RIP... Andersons is one of the key reasons I got into craft beer. They will be sorely missed.

I actually traded a bottle of regular Nutsmasher to my buddy for one of his B.D.A.'s

 

Completely the opposite for me. Definitely more coffee and chocolate in the Vietnamese. Preferred Vietnamese over everything today. Maybe the best non-ba stout I've had.

 

I felt that way when I had the Weasel Nutsmasher in Sandusky last month. I'd go out of my way for that one again.

 

Holy crap! That sucks. Love the one off of Sawmill

 

Understatement.

I love both. The Brice Rd. one got way better over the last couple years. Sad day for Cbus advocates.

 

Bummer . . . But maybe this'll be a good thing for the smaller bottle shops in and around Columbus. Possibly some of the releases that didn't make it past Anderson's will now start showing up in these places. Also, I hate to sound like I'm ready to start dividing up the family will here but perhaps Anderson's will begin to reduce beer prices in an attempt to cut its losses ? I wouldn't mind picking up a few extra Belgian's at a discounted price.

 

Best singles shop in the city..

 

Same rankings, the BDA was my favorite.

 

IIRC Ohio doesn't allow for that. There is a state minimum that shops aren't allowed to go under.


Also, Savor Growl just got a ton of Hopslam. No holds, no limit. I also saw some Black Note on the shelf at WOB High Street. 14 bucks though.

 

Hopslam hit Weiland's as well. Just picked some up... maybe 20-30 cases available with a case limit.
