    Re: barren wood

    Their tap room still had it a couple of weeks ago and I found some at thirsty hop in Kirkland as well.

    And, also via the FB, a new IPA in the brew kettle today. Features some rolled kamut, and, as they call it The Holy Trinity; Amarillo, Citra, Simcoe.

    A new jooosebombz drops today too, again from FB:

    Rain and gray skies won't stop us from releasing a new beer and celebrating IPA Wednesday! Here and Gone is an IPA in which we forwent the bittering hop addition and piled things up late and in the dry hop. Loads of mosaic, motueka and equinox hops lend notes of ripe melon, lime, peach and pine. Bursting with flavor and lacking a bitter punch, this one is immensely drinkable. We are offering $1 off glasses and $2 off growlers of all IPA's. Moose Creek Bbq will be serving the grub and cribbage starts at 5. Come see us! More new beers later this week!

    You more than anyone should be very careful about using the words "crowler capabilities" and "long overdue" in the same sentence.:wink:

    Also, this goat picture is going to give me some serious nightmares. And I love goats. How 'bout a trigger warning the next time?

    Well, where's Julian Assange when we need him? We could have had this thing months ago!

    Seriously, whenever you have it ready and finally post it, a beer at Chuck's 85th, the next time you're in the area, will be on me. It'll be a thank you on behalf of us all for your efforts (however protracted).

    Thread Rerail <none-too-subtle homage>: We can try and at least make it a Skookum...:slight_smile:

    They've been killing it for years and are only getting better. As said earlier Hollis is really standing tall near the head of the class. Easy top three. Don't let this go to your head, Hollis.

    Both. But, that's a Friday, seems a weird choice. But, I shall endevour to persevere to attend.

    So, rumor has it, Skookum will have their crowler machine officially open on Friday. And, by "rumor", I mean that my friend and I walked out with a combined 7 crowlers tonight.

    And, uh, they had some terrible stuff on tap. Don't go there.

    Ummmm... I would be the last person to inquire about a possible trade in the NW forum (as this is clearly prohibited under the BA trading rules), and I want to make it clear that this is not what I'm attempting with my post here. That being said Terry, perhaps we could chat via BM at some point, regarding the state of affairs in Madagascar, the likelihood of the cardinals winning the pennant this year, and our thoughts about the ongoing popularity of beers made by Grape Lotion.
