    I've never had Hipe, but I hear it's really good and I'll also say it's the best thing I've ever tasted. Totally worth any asking price no matter how exorbitant. Also it is literally impossible to find which is what imparts the best flavor notes.

    10/10 would trade KBBS for a small sample of Hipe.

    I had some beer aged in Hipe barrels with fish sauce and it was fantastic. I got it from a friend who has a friend who knows a brewer who got it from a bottle manufacturer rep in Spain.

    Did a bottle share of Rare 15 vs Ronaldo 16 vs BADL 16. I was surprised that BADL was decisively better than Rare. One of the best beers I’ve ever had. Will never be the most sought after variant but it’s the one guaranteed lead pipe lock

    ‘12 was panned, but honestly, outside of the sweetness, it was a good beer. I’d be curious to see how that’s holding up.

    Dwarven was good. You cray. :stuck_out_tongue:

    BADL is definitely the most underrated of all of them. It’s always solid and gets no love. I would definitely take it over this years FVM!

    I have not, but I'm incredibly tempted to drop a vanilla bean in one for a couple days. May give this a try this winter.

    I keep a splash jar... vanilla bean, oak cubes, bourbon. Let it age together for a month. Put about a teaspoon (or more) of the bourbon in a glass before pouring the beer in. Done it with dl many times. Works beautifully

    I’m worried it will be hard to do a BA meetup this year.

    But i found the solution.

    We should all dress up as furries. Discuss!
