Bottle Logic Brewing Thread - Spring 2017

I called them. They don't have any stasis on tap. Just their IPA's and a pale ale.

 

i have

 

That's interesting that they wouldn't tell you. Prolly not worth it then. Just all berliners.

 

Just out of curiosity for those who has sampled all the following before, where would you rank each of the following?

FOb1, FOb2, FF, FS, GS, RS, DSN, REN, JTR, LB, ST

 

Having tried all of those except FOb1... I'd say FF, FOb2, FS, RS, LB, JTR, ST, GS, REN, DSN

That order though is completely subjective. It really depends on what you're looking for in taste.

 

what, passionate dragon, ideation and dr. strangematter don't make the rankings?

 

As an outsider and living on the east coast, I have actually never heard of those 3. Are they any good?

 

No, and that is why you never heard of them.

 

They're good. The problem is when you compare them side by side with the stouts, they seem lacking and very underwhelming. By themselves, from an unbiased perspective, they are good.

 

From what I've tried:

FF > FOb2 > REN > FS > ST > RS > JtR > GS > DSN

 

man IF did not sell out after all. It appears that mead beer(s) are meh to the majority of people I suppose. Considering the collaborator had a good release themselves that weekend perhaps others went that route instead however, I wouldn't doubt this to be bad release. I guess we'll see.

I honestly can't figure out why two of you have put DSN dead last . . . you guys aren't fond of non-adjunct stouts?

 

No doubt, the name alone is tasty. Wouldn't mind trying this.

 

DSN is AWESOME, do not get me wrong. It is far and above better than most BA stouts. The only reason it's at the end of my list is because I'm a sucker for Bottle Logic's adjuncts. Call me basic if you want . Some people think adjuncts are heresy, I embrace them.

 

Its more that I'm a sucker for adjuncts done well and Bottle Logic doesn't miss in that department. I'm still a big fan of DSN and would probably give it an 8.5/10

my adjunct tier list (in general):

Vanilla > Coffee > Coconut > Cinnamon/Peppers > Maple > Fruit > Cocoa Nibs

 

Since we're all playing the game:

My list (haven't tried FF or RS):

FOb1 > ST > FOb2 > DSN > GS > FS > JTR > REN > LB

As stated somewhere back in this thread, I find a lot of the Stasis beers to be on the cloying side of sweet, so the better integrated the adjuncts are the more I like end result. Hence why DSN is high compared to others. One of my bottles of BV was *not* infected, but it would have ranked closer to LB on the scale.

 

With you 100%. DSN is my top non-collab BL beer.

I didn't want to like FS, but...even at the total cluster of the beginning of Huna day this year, it blew my mind. Having a second crack at it confirms it's nothing short of a top tier palate fuck.

 

REN > JTR > DSN > ST > PIYW > BV
