Noble Ale Works (Q3 2017)

well, I would trade ONE/TWO cans for Monkish Cans, whats wrong with that? I wouldn't trade all 4 but one or two, why not? isn't trading somewhat accepted oppose to selling your cans

 

Im not a trader. I rarely if never really trade beer. Prolly due to me being lazy, not having time to ship shit to people and plus I just like drinking the beer I can locally buy from LOCAL breweries when its available. The problem I have with trading is that it takes away my opportunity to enjoy those said such beers and now watching people like you trade them for something else you couldnt get because you really wanted another beer that was more important to you because you couldnt get it at both places. Im sure there are many pros/cons for trading, but hey shit happens but trading cans is the pokemon of beer nowadays.

 

I done did it fer ear n half. Over and out. Enjoy what we got here in sunny Cali.

 

Yes

 

Fog horn is pretty much perfect.

 

The side-by-side is crazy. To think that yeast is the only thing that separates how different Light House and Fog Horn are, is awesome.

 

Figures. The one can release I miss. Had the chance to listen to these guys on the podcast. Excited to see the expansion unfold and it sounds like they've got some exciting collabs in the works.

I'm a trader, for better or worse. And if this is commanding Monkish cans, that's pretty impressive. Usually those Monkish guys value their cans (perception wise) at stupid prices. So that speaks volumes to Noble's position in the marketplace IMHO. I've seen people asking for BA stouts for Monkish cans. It's preposterous. But value is relative, and demand dictates the exchange.

 

You mean pizza ports position.

 

Both Fog Horn and Lighthouse were stellar. I would love to see a collab series along the same lines.

 

just had fog horn yesterday and it was ok. ALL TIME GOAT still wins for me.

 

Agreed ... couldn't wait for "the dust to settle" - cracked a can open last night - freaking damn good!! Nice balance and harmony of hops and juice ... bravo Noble!

 

Another HAZY collab coming up from Noble, this time with Gunwhale for their first can release ever ... based on the recent Pizza Port success, I'm ALL IN

 

Can release on which side? Nobles or Gunz?

 

@ Gunwhale

 

Gun ... which is even better given your BA user name

 

Opened a can of Fog yesterday and the aroma was amazing coming out just as I was pouring it into my glass. I think I got a instant hard on. The taste was just as amazing. My favorite haze ipa from Noble. I'll do a side by side on Light and Fog later today.

I'm not happy with the the other guys up the 57. Pleasant Town was meh if that. Maybe it'll improve in a week? Doubt it.

 

I've been more favorable to the haze lately, but I liked Light House a little better believe it or not

 

I liked light so much I bought a case worth. Not to mention cost wise I get more out of it vs noble 4 pack.

 

I would agree. Foghorn seemed a little on the sweet end. And it didn't do a great job of hiding the booze imo. Still a very good beer!
