515 Brewing - Des Moines, IA

I wouldn't complain, I can send you a DM PBP. I also have those other beers that I should get out to you soon before the weather gets cold.

I am still willing to send another DM PBP for science for others.

 

For planning purposes, wouldn't be surprised to see Puppy Jake disappear over the weekend....Will almost certainly be gone by the end of next weekend.

 

I had Puppy Jake 4 times over the weekend. Twice at the taproom (Wednesday and Sunday) and twice from two separate growlers. I had mixed experiences, but all were good. My experience ranged from "omg it's titties!" to "it's tasty but not quite as good as DM PBP.

Still have one growler left. Will definitely need to do a side-by-side with DM PBP to end this debate.

Kind of bummed I missed Blase...I guess I'll have to make another trip down.

I dragged my fiance to 7 brewery taprooms across Iowa and the Omaha/Lincoln area and 515 was far and away the best.

 

Saw they just brewed Passé as well. LOVE Mediocré and Passé.

 

How is the coconut in this? Subtle or big presence?

 

The first time they made it they weren't happy with how much coconut they got. Last year's was much more pronounced. Have not had this latest batch yet but they have definitely been a brewery that makes incremental improvements and changes. The brewers themselves are hard to please and always think they can do better.

 

That will certainly mean success for them. Can't wait to try more of their beer.

 

Bogan. Love that word, especially when it's spoken with an Australian accent.

 

How's the line?

 

Drinking a Bogan right now. Their best hop forward beer since Passé and I'd argue it's better. Keep up the great work 515. The rest of you need to get some.
