Fieldwork appreciation thread

They'll be really mad when they find out their next West Coast IPA is named Heady Stopper.

 

Eastside Motel DIPA can release on 3/31. Berk, Sac and Napa.



Plenty of 90s rap to go around all the California Breweries.....

 

I haven't been to a Fieldwork can release and I bet these being special 2nd anniversary cans will affect this, but what are the limits usually like? You think there will be lines at 9am?

 

Shots fired, shots fired

 

So, I've got a slight problem. I'm going to be out of town for the March 31st release. I was wondering if some one would be willing to set aside a can of each release for me. I'd buy you a couple rounds at Fieldwork, Rare Barrel, or Cellarmaker as gratitude. Or I could bring back a couple cans of Effective Dreams. If multiple people take me up on this offer I'll just go with whoever was first. Thanks everyone.

 

Please ignore the above post since I can no longer edit it. I've got some one willing to help me out but thanks for looking anyways.

 

it will be interesting to see if this one sells or not with the Haze Craze. WEST COAST IPA. Pulp FREE. 4/2/17, Sunday.

Although, maybe to be safe, they should have called it "West Coast INSPIRED" just to make sure no one gets offended........ Was this beer actually made on the beach/coast??? haha.....



Super Saint Thomas DIPA can release on 4/2/17 Sunday as well.

 

I may go up there Sunday for some cans , sure hoping they fixed their issue with off flavors from February.

 

I'll probably get some cans from the Friday release. Might get a growler of the breakfast stout and bloomer IPA.

 

On release day I've had Eastside Motel and Bloomsday. Bloomsday was easily the better beer - read the description the El Dorado hops define it. I'll have Painted Gold tomorrow.

 

My sister is visiting me and I wanted to ask her to grab some crowlers from fieldwork before she makes the trip south. Never had anything fieldwork before. What should I ask her to grab crowlers of? Checked the site and definitely asking for bloomsday as its the only IPA on for crowlers. Do they have anything else available IPA wise or is what's on the website it? She'll be stopping by the Berkeley taproom

 

I really liked Eastside Motel, but that's not on crowler. Unfortunately they're a little light on IPA crowler availability right now. Chisel is the only other IPA crowler friendly.

 

The Painted Gold is pretty nice. I'm not a fan of Eastside Motel - I'm having the cans now. IMO their best IPA now is Bloomsday. It's quite wonderful and I'd get it again.

 

My sister got me some Super Saint Thomas and Pulp Free cans and I finally got around to drinking them. I actually liked Pulp Free more, but they are both really good. She rated SST the best beer she's had, but she is really into the hazy stuff (not that I'm not). Her previous favorites were King Citra and Juice Above The Clouds (Altamont).

We went to the Bistro IPA fest today and damn, Wicked Juicy from Cellarmaker is delicious (My number one). My sister preferred the Revision Citra Double that was on tap, but it wasn't a part of the Bistro event unfortunately so couldn't vote for it (I liked it a lot too). Apparently the Revision IPA got gold and Pulp Free got silver. Both well deserved.

 

I never had a chance to try Eastside Motel, but I love that name lol. I can't even think the name without saying in my head Eeeaaassssstt siiiddee moteeellll. Lol

 

There's a lot of solid and great beers in this single post, but the Altamont Juice Above the Clouds is spectacular for my palate. Drinking SST now (2-day old growler) and it's good, but not on the same level as Pulp Free, Wicked Juicy, or King Citra, for my preferences. Looking forward to the RB offerings.

 

I started a Revision Brewing thread over in the Mountain Section, but apparently they don't drink beer in Nevada..haha.. It is DEAD over there. https://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/revision-brewing-reno-sparks-nevada.475191/ I probably should have put in in the Pacific/CA Forum since most of their beer will end up here first.

I have had the RB Skunkworks PA and Hop Anatomy Pale Ale, both solid.

Probably going to hit Fieldwork tonight for a growler fill. Maybe ES Motel.

 

I tried Super Saint Thomas and East Side Motel on Sunday in Napa. SST may be the best beer I have ever tasted, I only got a splash because I needed to go quickly, but it might be the best beer I have ever had. I will confirm this when I open my crowler. Eastside was also really good, but SST good.

 

SST is pretty damn tasty. I split a growler of it last weekend. It's not the best Fieldwork IPA I've had - King Citra and Grove Stand were better on my palate. I do hope it lasts through this weekend because if it does I'm going back for more. Fieldwork has a way of making IPA's in the 8-9% range that are totally crushable.

 

I'm not gonna reply to my own post, cuz that's lame, but after having another two cans of SST... Damn. One of my favorites of the year with Juice Above The Clouds. Wish I hadn't given my sister some of my cans!
