2016 3-Way IPA

Can't believe it's already nearly Three Way season. Also means it's nearly time for another trip south to lovely Astoria! Great choices for the collaborators.

 

Whoa. This version could give the 2014 a run for its money...

 

That is a bad ass lineup.

 

As an added bonus, I was told that this year's batch of Suicide Squeeze will actually be the 2014 3 Way recipe.

 

No way.

 

As an added added bonus, Melvin will begin distribution to Oregon this year (likely August through General per http://brewpublic.com/beer-events/wyomings-award-winning-melvin-brewing-is-headed-to-oregon/).

 

stop it. Don't play with us like this. <fingers crossed>

 

Holy shit! That is going to be fantastic. Melvin is going to do big things this year, starting soon actually with 2x4 Day . Barley Brown's stuff has been fantastic, but few and far between for me.

Can't wait for this to drop, when was it last year, May/Juneish?

 

ARE YOU A BAD ENOUGH DUDE TO DRINK ALL THE BEERS BEFORE THE HOPS FADE?

 

So much incredible news in this thread!!!

 

This is huge, I can't wait.

 

As an added added added bonus, it appears that reports of Ft George Sunrise OPA's demise were premature. have seen cans at 3 different stores in the past few weeks that were just recently delivered.

Also, this is somewhat off topic, but the gripe about Alpine beers were that we were only getting distribution of Green Flash bottled versions of their beers (because the bottles say Green Flash on them, duh). well, the last few bottles of Nelson that I bought have the Alpine insignia on the bottle. It also tastes much more like the Nelson I had at Alpine years ago.

 

"Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll drink this beer for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad boy. Not like going down the pond chasin' rainiers and redhooks. This beer, swallow you whole. Little shakin', little tenderizin', an' down you go. And we gotta do it quick, that'll bring back your tourists, put all your businesses on a payin' basis. But it's not gonna be pleasant. I value my liver a lot more than three thousand bucks, chief. I'll find it for three, but I'll catch it, and kill 'em, for ten. But you've gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay alive, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter. I don't want no volunteers, I don't want no mates, there's just too many BAs on this island. $10,000 for me by myself. For that you get the can, the case, the whole damn thing."

 

SQUEEEEEEEE.

 

If there's any overlap of the seasons for this year's 3-Way and Suicide Squeeze, we can effectively try the 2014 and 2016 versions of 3-Way side by side.

(Hnnnnnggggggh......)

 

I hope we see more Suicide Squeeze in WA this year than we did Overdub (the SS replacement) last year.

 

Overdub is making an appearance this/next week too!! Draft and cans

 

That's what I was thinking. Suicide was always a session and IIRC that vintage of 3-Way clocked in somewhere around 7%.
