Far Out IPA

I'm dying to try it.

 

Send me a bottle and ill make sure to give you my feedback immediately

 

There is only one real mediocre review for the on tap reviews. Now I want to get a bottle to compare.

 

Had it yesterday at the brewery on tap and thought it was legit. I checked the reviews that night and thought wow did I have the same beer?

 

Had a few bombers from this year, no tap pours. Thought last years was slighty better, but it's still a freakin great beer. Galaxy rocks. Would like to try it against TIPA just for s hits & giggles.

 

And I would like to try Gandhi-Bot (I live close to Bootleggers)

 

are Bootleggers beers easily found in LA? I am dying to try this and Knuckle Sandwich during my trip next week

 

Bootleggers is pretty much everywhere. Knuckle Sandwich is another thing though. In Orange County it's actually kind of rare to see it in liquor stores, so I imagine it would be the same in LA. I don't really think it's that special anyway, but you won't know until you try it! Make the trip to the brewery, it's not that far (without traffic, of course).

Peep their site:

Knuckle is starting to be seen around more often but it still moves fast at stores. Go to the tasting room and they should have it though.

 

Don't live in Cali so just hopping over to the brewery is pretty slim. Lol. Trust me if I lived in Cali, I would for sure be in AA meetings with the amount of awesome local brew out there. We are a bit cheated over here in CT.

 

NEBCO is a fantastic brewery and anyone who can't get any of their stupid delicious beers are the ones who are cheated. You can drive to Vermont from Conn. anytime, and you are close enough to NY to get all of Peekskill and Capt. Lawrence beers if you want. You miss out on nothing nowadays, it's the W. Coasters who miss out now.

Knuckle Sandwich is a malty and piney IIPA that isn't even in my personal top 25 best, I imagine this new one is the same, thick and not very refreshing, but with different hops.

 

I love NEBCO, by far my favorite CT brewer. I'm not saying there isn't great brew out here, I know there is. Wish I had the time to make the drives for some seriously monster brews that are a car trek away. Unfortunately I can't find the time with work and the kids.

The west coast has some great brewers as well and there is a lot out there and Midwest that I would love to taste. Always wanted to taste KS because I've heard a lot of good things about it and I love DIPA's.

We are definitely lucky to have the great beers and brewers here on the east. I just would like to see what my palate thinks of it. Cheers!!!

 

Yeah, not trying to discourage you at all, especially as I speak from long experience, and love so many of the W. Coast beers I have tried. Off the top of my head my favorites are Bad Boy, Hoppy Birthday, Nelson, Kern Citra, Just Outstanding, Blind Pig, Aroma Coma, Denogginizer, Hop Venom, Notorious, Hop Henge, Cowiche Canyon, so very many good ones.

My point was now we have an equally great list of equally great hoppy pale ales to choose from, including the best of them all, Heady Topper.

 

Didn't think you were my friend. I respect everyone's opinion on here, well mostly everyone, lol. I'm always looking to learn. I've been drinking craft for many years myself, I'm a little new to BA but I enjoy having this site for so many reasons. I can always learn more and meet some great people as well as get some great trades. You seem very knowledgeable and I thank you for your knowledge as well.

The east is definitely becoming a threat and it's great for all of us over here. Heady is definitely the king. I finally had it a few months ago and was so happy it lived up to all the "hype" and more. Currently working on setting up a road trip to get some.

Cheers My Friend.

 

FO >>> KS
Not even close for me.
Do they do growler fills of this?

Also, I thought tapped KS is better than bottled.

 

This is why we have BA, so we can all share in making refrigerators jealous.

 

It's not thick, actually medium to lite in the mouth, a bit piney..pretty good.
