    Personally, I'd just half ass it and open a bunch of pop tarts, put them in an old bourbon barrel for a few weeks and call it a day.

    Considering BCBS pies were made last fall, handheld pies only the next logical progression. Plenty of bulk BCBS 17 around to experiment with...just sayin'. :slight_smile:

    FWIW the Amargosa at Big North was fantastic

    In and out no problem! The Amorgosa is tasting incredible. Really enjoyed the small pour I got.

    Amorgosa is awesome. Basically Magick is Purple with cherries.

    Holy hell Amorgosa is fantastic. Wasnt too big on the new daisy. I liked it but didnt really feel the need to drink more than half a pour.

    I thought Amargosa was OK... i think Goose Island’s Madame Rose is a similar beer that’s not quite as expensive. Amargosa was complex and had faint wine and bourbon barrel notes that were difficult to detect

    I think Madame Rose was more expensive when in 750 ml bottles ($26-30) retail and almost an identical price in 4 packs ($36 adjusts to a $19 750 ml bottle).

    Madam Rose is more expensive. Amargosa is far better

    Isn’t Capra pretty much a enigma feature?

    As far as I could tell from their release language, but haven't tried it, so... dunno. :l

    I had a can of Capra yesterday, and it seems I liked it a lot more than others have posted here. Thought this was a very good version of Daisy.

    *sigh*...kicks a rock. I do miss all the beers, the people I met there, including @BSiegs and @joe1510 among many others, and harassing the youngins who wanted Paul to play Linkin Park. To no avail. ALL HAIL DOPETHRONE. (inside joke).

    I agree. Had it on draft at Big Star, and was very pleased with it.

    Nothing mind blowing, but I will happily purchase this to have in the fridge.

    Been a fan of all the Tired Hands/Half Acre collabs so far, so sign me up for this also I guess:

    Inside jokes aside, anyone who wants to listen to Linkin Park over any album by Electric Wizard is someone I'd prefer not to drink with!

    A 13% IPA in a 16oz can? Easy pass....

    13% is a lot for the style (this is a QIPA??). May try a small pour on draft if available, but I'd pass on this in cans as well.
