Anyone else disappointed by this year's backwoods bastard?

It's it's becoming less rare... your hipster taste buds don't agree..

 

lolol just kidding man. maybe you had a bad batch but I think we can all agree that most of these claims that "last years batch of X was way better" are mostly in people's heads. I know big beers like dark lord and Darkness vary greatly from year to year but smaller beers taste change i attribute mostly to people's "palate" changing

 

jegross v breaking bad, my interest is piqued

 

lolol I like jegross and I conceded he does know a lot more than me when it comes to beer. We just differ on opinions in this one case.

 

I remember really loving it last year... and really loving it this year as well. Perhaps it's a touch more bastard this year, and last years was a little more backwoods?

 

Now I completely disagree with you. We did a full 2005-2012 KBS vert last weekend and the previous batches were FAR beyond their prime and much worse than a 2012. 13 total people agreed all together on this.

I really think it is a BA fad now to say how current releases aren't as good as previous batches.

 

this!!!!

 

I think we should have a separate site for people who always complain how last years was better. It could be called BAA (Beer Anti Advocate). It could be a place where people can constantly dis beers and rave about "the good old days" 5 years ago when no one knew about good beer but them. They could also post pictures of all the rare beer they want to hoard to themselves and even pictures of them drinking "whales" in front of others and not sharing a single drop!

 

Totally agree it's a fad.

But it's also a counter-fad to mock anyone who says any beer in existence is different than the previously year. Which is just as silly.

Whose fad wins? Cage match?

 

About a week ago I had a BCS at a friends house. Wednesday I had my first BB from this year and I thought that it might be a bit weaker this year. After having a second one today I remember how it really good BB was in the past. Overall I think I had a very heavy bourbon beer behind it and that is where my taste was.

 

THANK YOU!!! Christ all Friday....why is anyone interested in doing a KBS vertical anyway!?

 

cannot like this enough

 

I'm disappointed in the fact I was never even able to find any, and have never gotten to try any vintage.

But, I still think 2011 was better, and that was no 2010.

 

Oh hey its this thread again. I missed out on the last 4, glad I caught this one.

 

Anyone else want to blast Founders these days? This is getting ridiculous! I'm thinking, as BA's, we have tries SO many "World Class" beers. When these highly sought after beers come out, we expect them to blow us away just as they did the first time we had it. It isn't gonna happen... Quit rippin on em and enjoy beer!
