3 Floyds Brewing (2022)

21 Handjee >>>>>>>>>>> 18 Handjee.

21 tastes like I'm hand-splitting vanilla beans & sprinkling them on the finest chocolate in the world.

18 tastes like an above average barrel aged vanilla stout.

 

What about 19, 20, Adult Sized Beverage and the WarPigs Marzen?

 

WarPigs V (the Marzen / Rauch) is really good. Candied bacon, campfire smoke and mild caramel.

Adult Sized Beverage is SUPER flavorful but 5oz is enough, it gets a bit sweet. I liked it, though.

19 & 20 Handjee will have to be reviewed by a heartier soul than me, I'm buzzed!!

 

GD, you can always count on @GuyFawkes!

 

you’re supposed to cuvée the ASB with the Handjee for an Adult Sized Handjee

 

STRANGER DANGER!!!

 

I went to Costco last night, and they had four packs of Permanent Funeral for 14.99. It was a significant price cut from the brewery. and was stacked 6 feet high. Meanwhile, neighboring wiseguys still has not gotten their allotment. Indiana distribution is such a joke.

 

Man, you have a magical Costco. Were you the one posting about cheap Crushing Mass there a few months back?

 

Did Costco actually have CM or was that me posting about the ridiculous price at Woodman's? Either way, going to have to start watching Costco!

 

There was a post about a Costco which had a pallet of Crushing Mass. It was certainly not the one I frequent, however. I think I have a better chance of winning Powerball than finding the store which has an endcap shrine to FFF.

 

It was not I.

 

Just wanted to mention I opened a 2022 Muerte this weekend and found it remarkably different from past years. It had a fruity sweetness to it like strawberry or raspberry as opposed to the overly savory element I always thought was a little too close to adobo and even Spaghetti-Os. While I enjoyed it more than previous vintages, I was missing the chili heat, as it was just barely there in the background.

 

Arctic Panzer Wolf 4 packs; not what I was hoping for this week for the THX givings

 

came here to hype the wolf being back. But not as exciting since we just had the superior Permanent Funeral come back last month.

 

sure, but they’re both awesome. I’ll happily have those 2 switch batches every month in perpetuity.

 

BA Blot Out the Sun release. Now that’s more season appropriate for the holiday weekend.

 

Some BA Alpha Klaus would be nice.

 

has that been done in a while? i had that beer Christmas of 2017 i think from a bottle i purchased at FFF in December of 2016. the old hand-labeled generic 750mL bottles.

 

Maybe they figure aging 7% beer isn’t the best idea for making money?

 

give the (two) people what they want!!

 

(three)

 

My recollection is that the last time they released BA Alpha Klaus, there were several variants. I remember a cherry. Perhaps there was an orange variant too.

 

i was thinking that was the 2nd to last time they’ve released it.

 

That may be correct. I am certain it was bottled with the generic labels.

 

Any luck finding Panzerwolf?

Thanksgiving seems to have thrown own the usual distro timeline around here

 

We'll see if my lil cousin actually comes through for me.. she said she'd grab me some things from the kiosk on her way home from Chicago but considering she's a 22 year old chick with no care for beer and a chaotic personality I highly doubt it

 

Update: "I'm not driving so I'm not sure if we'll stop."

Knew that was coming. Not a big deal I just didn't wanna wait on panzerwolf in distro any longer

 

Looks like the brewpub canned a 5% Irish stout if that is your thing.

 

I had a Casino Beach this weekend, and while I enjoyed it pretty thoroughly, it was also a little disappointing.

The banana and coconut were subtler than I'd wanted, with the banana coming across as if deeply caramelized, while the coconut took time to emerge, and when it did, was closer to flan. I also found it to be one of the roastier recent variants.

I again find myself asking wtf are champagne barrels, and why use them, especially here where I think perhaps they may have added more heat. But it wouldn't be NOT NORMAL without them then, would it?

 

Doh! That blows. https://www.winemag.com/2021/12/21/oak-champagne-trend/

 

Well I'll be damned.

 

It'll be nice when all the nu-money bourbon bros move onto oak-aged champagne.

 

legit LOL

 

Chopping corks off at the bottle share with their whale slayer.

 

How about FFF does us a solid and gives us a 4 pack of BA Vanilla Moloko? The 2016 was one of my favorite beers from them.

Given the run on barrel aged 4 packs, I'm surprised we haven't gotten BA Moloko yet.

 

that sounds like a great idea to me!

 

Panzerwolf finally hit my southern Indiana/Louisville metro area today. Going to grab a pack in a bit.

Fresh FFF is about the extent of my beer drinking these days so I look forward to new drops. Switched to neat bourbon as my main sauce just for the sake of staying in shape and keeping as much sugar out of the equation.

Definitely don't miss a Floyds release though and honestly there's no reason to buy other beer when they're so dialed in and available. All things equal, a pack of Gumballhead or ZD around 2 to 4 weeks old will always be my choice at the store. If I can't get those fresh I'll grab Speed Castle.

Cheers homies

 

Maybe I am misremembering, but I can’t even remember the last time regular moloko was made. Regular appears to have been issued in 12oz bottles which I also somehow missed.

 

Panzerwolf is really smooth and fruity.

With all 3 releases close together this year, I'm probably enjoying it more than Permanent Funeral and less than Dreadnaught but Dreadnaught has always been my favorite of those three.
